A helluva mess.. 87k a game? Bloody hell. If you don't laugh you'd cry.

Can't see us buying anyone, even if we sell. We will probably get a couple of young guys on loan. Another bad transfer window could be fairly disastrous in the short and medium term.

Dave King has not fulfilled his promises. MW and a lot of his squad have not fulfilled the promise they showed last season. Dave King might be ok if he appointed a manager that worked wonders with a poor squad. MW might be ok if he was given 30 million to spend.

Eff knows... I'm getting scunnered with MWs one dimensional game plan tho.

MW and SDoW need to take a long hard look at themselves. They are failing our club and taking a big salary whilst doing it... Deja Vu.

I really don't know what to think about the JB position. If it was a normal workplace the boss would have made his point and the employee would come back and do his job. This course of action requires the boss to be confident enough and suitably self assured to have the employee back. The easiest thing the boss can do to the employee is to sack him or in our case banish him. It is far harder to find a way to take the guy ( JB) back and find a way to get the best out of him. If MW got JB back into the squad and playing an important role in the team that would prove to me that he is a good man manager . At present it appears that he's just hiding his head In the sand till the bad man goes away. I think a motivated and fit JB could do a good job for us. MWs ego may be bigger than his talent as a manager.? I honestly don't know what's best, it's just a shit situation all round..

Fantastic article.

I fair enjoyed that today. More of the same please..

Il be happier when we are making a profit.

Be realistic please..

I'm confident of a win in this one. If we don't win I'm packing my case!

This day has been another mess. If we truly wanted to show him who is boss get him training but just don't select him, at least at that rate he would be fit to give away free to some club in January. I think he will sit tight and keep taking the wages.

Playing from the back is different from four defenders passing the ball back and fore to each other until they are closed down and pass it back to the goalkeeper. You can go to any Sunday pub league match and see teams who have defenders who think they are something special cos they pass the ball sideways to each other repeatedly before one of them lashes it up the pitch. The Defender sideways passes to each other can be a good thing if you have forwards working hard at creating spaces for the defenders to put a long pass into. If the forwards are not doing that work all that is really happening is that the defenders are fannying around playing at being xavi and iniesta.

I hope that whatever we do we do not make an arse of ourselves. If the manager had taken a stand against a player then one of them has to go. Barton is an arse but maybe told MW some home truths. MW may be a good and respectful man but is maybe out of his depth tactically. Barton could maybe I repeat maybe do a job for us. MW has shown that he probably cannot. Who would I want at the club? A good fit motivated Barton who runs his mouth off or a dignified respectful manager who is out of his depth? Eff knows!

Nonsense in the papers shocker.

Yep. He looks done. Not nice seeing our manager like that.

I feel totally gutted. We have a budget many times greater than st johnstone, take their best player of them and still look Inferior to them when we are playing them on our pitch... This result is solely the responsibility of MW and although I think he may be a good manager I'm aware that lots of good managers get the sack. I don't know what we should do for the best. I don't think I'd trust him to spend any money we have. If he gets the sack at some point I hope he takes all his backroom staff with him. I know Butcher talked some rubbish about us but I think he'd be a better manager for us right now. In fact I take some of that back.. I do not think MW is a good manager. He is a manager who gets players playing to a system but if the opposition team refuse to go along with the game plan he doesn't have a clue what to do. The more I think of it the more I realise that MW is fairly gash as a manager.

I still have faith in MW. I never thought our first season back up would be easy.

The guy who took this is a despicable cretin. I would imagine that down the years his face has seen a lot of fists up close.

Ban BT and all the press as well. They think they can say and do anything they want to us. But , fellow bears, the times they are a changing and we are slowly but surely getting back to our rightful place in Scottish football and they can all see it happening..That's what they cannot stand...

Well done Kenny a true great..

I'm confident of a win. They are a thuggish team and if we move the ball quickly I can see this being an enjoyable evening. 1-3.

It's a tragic thing to have happened . R.I.P

One game ban, no big deal and worth it even if only to further highlight the refs inadequacies. We were worthy of at least one point against the sheep and to have that taken away from us by a referees mistake is disgraceful. I don't imagine the referee with come out and apologize and admit his mistake. We as a club have taken too much of a kicking while we have been down and its time to stand up for ourselfs and our club. Every club and every official are having a fly wee dig at us right now cos they think they can get away with it but they shouldn't forget that we are the most successful club In the world and we got that way by never taking anything lying down.

Can we go back to saying "squad" or "team" cos " group" does my f'ing nut in . Petty I know but I'm a traditionalist.
