I forgot about you!
Defending Ally to the death eh?
Surely you've got to admit that it wasn't good under Ally.

I'd love for our players to find some decent form.
They keep asking for consistency from referee's. I'd like some consistency from them, in a good way
Some of them have the ability, they just don't show it enough.
The 3-0 sheep game is what we want in every game, not 1 in 10 games.
Just when we look as if we've turned the corner, they go and get beat, at home, by St Johnstone, fucking infuriating so it is. It's like being on a roller coaster ride, the ups are great, but the downs are bad.
I was starting to look forward to the game against the taigs,I'm now back to dreading it again.??

I doubt Walter Smith is advising him, unless Murty has asked him for his advice.
I think that Murty has someone in the main stand, who is watching the opponents set up, and advising Murty of any changes in formation.
It is easier to see how things are working out from higher up. It is why, when a manager gets a touchline ban, his team plays better, if he's able to keep in contact with the dugout, when he's sitting in the stand. Maybe it's also why we, the fans, see things before the staff in the dugout?
I remember when Smith used to give Ally control, in cup games, he'd still use Durrant as messenger when he wanted Ally to change things. Durrant needed to be fit, as he was up, and down, the stairs quite a lot, especially in the 2nd half of games.
BTW I wouldn't ask Walter who he thinks should be next manager. After all he still defends Ally, and refuses to admit it was a mistake letting Ally take control. He still blames outside influences for any/ all of Ally's horrendous mistakes.
-
I'd like to see Jordan Thompson given a wee turn in the team.
I'm not saying that he's our answer to Dorrans being out for months, but you never know?? ??

We won't get a big name manager in as long as we've got a DoF, IMHO.
Most British managers don't like them.
If we have a DoF, we should be looking for a Head Coach rather than a manager.
Let the DoF do all the managerial work at the club, and allow the Head Coach to concentrate on getting a winning team on the pitch.
I don't believe that we need a DoF, and I think it's a wasted wage, but we'd be paying a Head Coach less than a manager, because he'd have less responsibilities.
This situation could allow Murty to take control, as Head Coach, and give him and MA a couple of transfer windows to get it right, or get out!?

I'll always remember Harry for that goal, in the first few seconds, against Dundee in the cup. It was a fantastic start to a memorable 4-0 victory. We played like champions that day. The media had Dundee as favourites to win, but after kick off, our Harry ran with the ball down the right wing, then smashed it into the back of the net. That goal had us on the front foot for the rest of the game. I know it was only Dundee,but it felt really good at the time, and we've got Harry to thank for starting it all off. So " THANK YOU" Harry!
I'd rather remember him for that rather than him not passing to Dodoo, against the filth, which could've seen us score, and win the game. The boy has talent, he just needs the right coaching to get him to use it every game. ???

Wouldn't say 24 is young now days to be honest, also Holt has over 150 first team appearances. I get what you're saying though!
Yeah, people forget that he is still quite young.
Miller is still very young in my eyes. ??
-
He did alright. We had a very young midfield trio in , McCrorrie, Holt, and Barjonas, tonight. If you take Miller, and Alves, out the team, we have a very young team.
-
We were on the wrong end of a few refereeing decisions the last time we met. This is just evening the score a wee bit.
Anyway BIG WES would've saved the penalty!! ??
-
Wilson has been very good the last 4 games. I think he plays just as well alongside Alves, or Bates.
He is maturing in his role, and getting better at winning balls in the air.
He is one of the players I'd like to keep if we have another summer clear out.
-
I'd prefer us to play with a back 3 because our fullbacks are hopeless at defending
If we kept Tav, and John, in the team, they'd be wing backs, and we'd have a tight 3 in the middle, making it harder for teams to play through us.
Our 2 full backs play as if they're wing backs most of the time, which leaves us short defensively when we lose the ball in midfield.
McCrorrie, and/or Bates, would fit in easy enough, and we can change formation without changing personal, if it's not working one game. We need to be fluid, so that we can change formations, during a game, using the players on the park.

It's not a minority and it's because they are scum who are taking us for a ride.
OH YES IT IS!
Sorry, it's just the time of year that made me do it.??

This year should be a write off, however every other team is just as bad, if not worse, than ourselves.
The taigs unbeaten run will come to an end soon.
We need to take one game at a time, not get ahead of ourselves, and keep our feet on the ground.
I doubt that we'll win the league, but to still be in the running, and 2nd place, is a miracle.
Hopefully we can continue our winning run, and we get some players back who've been out through injury.
They say that refereeing decisions even themselves out over the course of a season. If that's true we've got a hell of a lot of decisions coming our way, and the taigs have got a huge load, of poor decisions, left to go against them. WATP!!

Did you mean to type 'witch' or 'wish' there?
I typed the correct word alright. He wished injury on my fingers, without me knowing about it, and it happened.
All my own fault really for suggesting that Miller might pick up an injury, as it appears to be the only way he'll not be in the starting line up.
I was only joking about Miller, but sometimes people don't see the funny side.???

If he wants to continue with the diamond in the middle of the park. I would rather see Kranjkar instead of Pena, yes his fitness is questionable but at least he can play football when he gets the ball, fitness would improve with games.
Said the exact same thing to my mate last week. Ideal formation for Niko to play in. Linking midfield with attack, with his array of passes. I can see us beating the taigs with this line up, and formation. McCrorrie in to stop the taig playmakers, and Dorrans, & Jack, with Niko at the top of the diamond. ???

Maybe Miller will pick up an injury on Wednesday.??

The SPFL, obviously, doesn't matter to SKY, cause they'd put more money into it if it did really matter.
Is the programme title "SPFL MATTERS?" Or SPFL MATTERS.

My son, who starts work at 5pm on a Saturday, likes this.
His boss knows when he's come straight to work from the game, because he's usually on time then.

The Aberdeen players reaction to the penalty was astounding. How the fuck they could argue it wasn't a penalty is beyond belief. Even Andy Walker said that it was a stonewall penalty. The sheep players seemed to want to argue over every decision that went against them, and it cost them with a player being red carded for getting two yellows, the 1st for dissent, the 2nd for assault.?

You don't have to go that far!
Maybe City finishing 4th, and not winning anything, whilst Rangers win the treble
Or maybe me just getting a bit of luck in life, and getting to have my cake, and eat it too.
To be fair I do look as if I've been eating a lot of cake recently, but it's my medication that's causing it, honest it is! ?
