I prefer the BDO because the crowd is not comprised of total gobshites who have no interest in the sport.

Let's be sensible - no manager is going to let an opposing team win a game. With the rate they get sacked they can't afford to, so these conspiracy theories don't work. Hopefully they will go down but I hope it is by more than 12 points so he can't use that as a excuse.

New signings should not really be necessary. How many world beaters are there in Hibs team? But we weretold by some of the experts on this site that Hibs had a shit manager who didn't have a magic hat. How stupid ate they feeling now? If the team are coached properly then things will come good. This is a test for Warburton and anything less than a win on 28th will be disaster.

Maybe he will be the next manager of Bolton

It's not just him who will use it as an excuse. His supporters in the media will as well. I remember last season when the Daily Mail said that he had surely earned the right to manage a premiership team, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I suppose that the more you have, the more you spend. Added to the fact that most of these footballers aren't that bright and won't understand what they are investing in.

First of all, stop throwing terms like taig round to people just because they disagree with you. Secondly, we are not going into the conference. Why would they let us in? Which team would you get rid of in order to allow us in? Which team would you refuse promotion to in order to allow us in? It is not fucking happening. Pointing out facts does not make anyone a taig. We should be looking at the battles that can be won, not living in some sort of daydream.

Absolutely. I wish people would stop going on about how they want to go to the 11th level of English football or something. It is not happening, it would not be allowed to happen for Rangers or anyone else. It's not even up for discussion.

I don't think there is any evidence that he could do that or that he even believes he could. He is only interested in clubs who can keep him in the signings he is accustomed to.

The Aston Villa job is vacant at the moment I think. Do you really think he could do a good job with the resources available and without all the magic that a chequebook can buy? I certainly don't think he is capable of meeting such a challenge.

Paisley didn't inherit a team from Shankly - it was his team. It is very much under appreciated just how much influence Paisley had in the Shankly years.

It's disappointing but the people who really need to shut up or at least think about what they are saying are the "league will be won by Christmas " types. It's not won and won't be until the second placed team is unable to catch up.

Fixed that for you.

You're wrong, I picked a great example. Darlington is a club owned by the fans, genuine football fans, who had to pick up where a disastrous chairman left them. They are a real fans team, unlike Salford City, bankrolled by millionaires, whose expenditure far exceeds the money generated through the turnstiles. I don't want non-league football to become the plaything of sugar daddies, where teams like Salfraud have an unfair and unearned advantage over Warrington, Darlington, Marine etc.

I'm a non -league football fan and I can't stand Salford City. If their example is followed then non-league football will go the same way as the Premiership with clubs spending money they don't have to buy success, like Chelsea and Man City. I really hope that a proper team, like Darlington, gets promotion from that league.

The sort of people who like rah rah rugby can afford these things, well a lot of them can anyway.

He had a lot of decency. When he became Everton manager, they had been in Liverpool's shadow for a long, long time. At the beginning of the 1983-84 season, a sizeable minority of Everton fans campaigned for him to be sacked and some thugs even attacked and vandalised his house. By the end of that season, those same thugs would be denying all knowledge of it and going on the march with Howard's army. He deserved his success for the dignity he showed in the face of such adversity. In the mid 1990s I was getting a train from Liverpool to Nottingham and Howard Kendall was sitting in front of me. I think he was probably going to Sheffield as he was appointed Sheff Utd manager a couple of weeks later. The train started getting full and there were no seats after it left Manchester. Howard stood up to let an old woman have his seat, something I should have done myself. He had no airs and graces about him, just a very nice and decent man.

It's not hindsight. People were coming out with embarrassing shit. It's not just the players and management who can learn from this.

Some of the comments on here, dismissing SJ and confidently predicting an easy victory look stupid now. The Premoership is a higher league and we are not used to playing at that level, despite what some may think.

StJojnstone are in a higher league and are a better team. Why are people so angry at the performance? There has been an unhealthy amount of arrogance by some fans and it will do no harm for the team to come up against a bit of reality.

What is the point of this so-called world cup? All of the teams play each other every year anyway. What really annoys me is the amount of space and time the media devote to a minority sport while ignoring others.

We ended up losing that tie. If he had been substituted for a fit player the outcome could have been different. This is not something to be celebrated. Even legends should not disrespect the manager in this way.

Anyone who supports a team that has no chance of ever competing for the highest honours is a real football fan.

Chelsea rent boys for rent

I can't understand how anyone can see him as a great manager. If he really wanted a challenge then he could go to a team like Leicester or Aston Villa and se if he could make them better. But he wouldn't be able to do anything without his chum the chequebook.
