    It was the first prediction I made on the "bold predictions" thread a month ago. My feeling has nothing to do with Saturday, or preseason (which I didn't watch anyway).

    Dominic can you not start an airdrie topic so you can at least comment on a team you do actually watch.

    The majority of members saying they think he won't be a success. That Kilmarnock result is a very sore one to take.

    Apart from Butland looking a commanding keeper there was absolutely fuck all positive to take from that shambles.

    At times it looked like another friendly with us playing the ball lazily sideways and backwards,no urgency no pattern and the fact we can’t even defend a long throw in is shocking.

    2 fullbacks who can’t defend but were excused because they were great going forward are now contributing zero to the team.

    He wont have a 'first 11'.

    He is building a squad where multiple players will be in contention for positions. Sometimes it will be Raskin, Dowell and Lundstrum. Other times it will Be Cifuentes, Jack and Cantwell. With multiple other potential combinations involved.

    So how do players gel or have consistency if you are changing the team every week.

    Tav and Goldson are automatic picks no matter how fit or what form their in,Goldson came straight into the team after being out for months and with no game time in friendlies this doesn’t happen with other players eg hagi and raskin.

    I’d also say read threads on here and you get the general point the at a lot of social media and posters on forums are clueless.

    Lammers was like laudrup one week and absolutely shocking and a waste of money the next.

    there is literally no middle ground with anything or anyone.

    if we win on Wednesday then whoever scores will be the best thing ever and the squad is brilliant. Few games later and they’ll all be shite again.

    danillo and dessers being wrote off after cameos and dessers admitting he’s behind in terms of fitness.

    danillo had a pre season so really should’ve started Saturday and servette and then dessers v livi on Saturday.

    I think people need to have a bit of perspective 

    Playing an obviously toiling Dessers and having lundstrum on the pitch at all is down to bad management and it’s not the first time.

    Letting Lowry go to hearts is a mistake and are any of our forward signings any better than sakala.

    Taking too long to make changes and then Jack for lundsrtrum is bizarre when we are chasing the game.

    Ridiculous anyone wanting him sacked but the truth is he was an horrendous appointment in the first place.

    He’s definitely under pressure, as expected but more than he would have expected to be given that horror show and result. But calling for his head 1 game into a new season with an almost entirely new team of which several key players were missing is bizarre at best. Its fuckin embarrassing.

    Kilmarnock had more guys making their league debut than we did but the difference was they had a game plan and guys willing to run and tackle all day.

    Name the several key players missing.

    Beale is an embarrassment not the fans.

    Received my grey and orange training top yesterday, the 32 Red is very small compared to the pictures on the website. Then...today I received the long sleeve version...I canny believe it...there is no sponsor branding on it at all! No 32 red, not on the front or the shoulder like in the official website pic. Im lost for words, over £100 on two tops. Not happy. (Can't seem to post pictures)

    You don’t seem that lost for words,Timothy.

    I’m guesstimating on all of this so others might be able to confirm if I’m reading all of this correctly?


    So AGF won today 1-0 which gives them some form going into their game against Brugge. 

    Brugge got beat yesterday (again) 1-2 at home against AZ.

    If AGF actually put Brugge out the conference league then we’re almost guaranteed the club world club place. 

    I think this is massive as surely that gives us at least another £10 million to spend on players outwith the 3 we’re trying to bring in?

    Salzburg and Shakhter and next closest but they have their coefficient points already added as both have qualified to the CL Groups (Pot 3).

    *So we can get 4 points added to our 38 if we qualify for the CL and 3 points added for the EL. 

    Essentially we could be sitting 9 points ahead of Salzburg and 10 against Shakhtar if we qualify for the CL.

    Shakhtar would need to win at least 5 games in the CL groups to make up these 10 coefficient points (never going to happen) with us gaining zero points (hopefully not happen again). 

    Salzburg would need to win at least 6 games to get 10 points.

    (The above doesn’t take in if either qualify for the last 16 which gives you 4 points and whatever you pick up in the tie)

    I just can’t see any of these teams making up the 9 or 10 points in any real permutation from they two and us and all the matches that will play out. 

    That’s why I think we could spend more money this season is Brugge get put out. I don’t know how we could do it under FFP but surely it’s really a case of speculating to accumulate.

    Benfica 40.0

    Rangers 38.0 (*42 or 43)

    Brugge 35.0

    Salzburg 33.0

    Shakhtar 31.0

    Points are not awarded for elimination in qualifying, since those clubs move to the UEFA Europa League and may be awarded points for participation in that competition or the UEFA Conference League.

    Not got a clue how it works I don’t even know if guesstimating is a real word.

    While the SNP tramp across the entire Unionist population in Scotland constantly. Accusing Unionists in Ulster of being afraid to take action against Republicanism is hilarious, never mind as a Unionist from Scotland 

    I hold my hand up for being one of the many who are responsible for allowing the snp to ruin this country,you on the other hand are in denial about who is responsible for the shiners ruling yours.

    No, mate. I just smash my face off my phone and see what happens and somehow it still makes more sense than you.

    Now that doesn’t seem to be the act of someone who is right in the  head but it does explain some of the shite you come away with.
