Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is the record of the first 26 games of all our managers. Sometimes it's bitter, and sometimes it's sweet.Can we tell how a manager is going to fare from what happens in the first 26 games? Anyway, the parts in BOLD are notes on those first 26 matches, with a few comments about what followed immediately afterwards. (no need to comment on the long term records of any, I think)edit....sorry, the formatting is moving WLD to show the win, lose, draw columns. W L DWilliam Wilton 21-1-4 Won Glasgow Cup. Ended up winning league.Bill Struth 23-1-2 Only loss was ne'rday game against tarriers. Ended up winning league.Scot Symon 16-6-4 Went out of LC. Ended up winning nothing (3rd in league).Davie White 20-2-4 Went out SC.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Was it yourself who made the thread about going undefeated all season? So this means we're going to win the league? I might have when I was drunk, but I don't recall it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I think we should have called for Scot Symon's head after the first 26 games.If not at that time, probably after his first season.3rd in the league? Get a grip ya diddy. Stoap playing big Corky and John Little out of position, and get Willie Waddell tae fuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
