Hi Paul,

Great to have you here and taking the time to talk to us.

My question is this;

As a manager how do you deal with letting players go and which avenues were there for them to move onto college, Uni or work outside the game? If none do you feel this is lacking at professional clubs?

Thanks

I’d be willing to give him a shot tae. Decent record

You just need to look at the number of names and coverage of votes to see no matter who comes in they are going to have to work wonders to get some sections on side.

I’ve gone for Hughes. Did well at Falkirk and ICT however had time to get ‘his’ type of characters in the dressing room. He maybe doesn’t or won’t have this time if given the job. Doesn’t spare players not performing and I’d be a hypocrite to say as a fan I didn’t want my manager to tell some of our current crop to get a fucking grips of their balls and show some heart.

I wanted him before Mixu and ICT wouldn’t let him speak to us, compo was also a problem. He only left there as their board were messing him about as I recollect. (I know we have the same issues!)

Something seems to fit for me and I can see him doing a great job for us.

I’ll gladly eat humble pie if we go for him and it turns into a shitstorm but I’m certain it could work.

Hid the bus, Chris Boyd says it’s due to Thompson putting Rangers down that’s why we’re shite now. I knew there was an explanation tae. Good old Boydie

Weak across the board, beharder is spot on. Year after year we are weak, physically and mentally. Maybe I’m too old school tae but these pussies couldn’t tie a Davie Bowman types laces.

Why are we not ripping into these teams? High tempo get on the front foot and overload the box to get some go forward.

Holy crap that's shocking stuff, imagine the damage those things could do 🙈

Miles better today, forward boys were starting to look like a team rather than individuals. Minding this Morton team has been playing well over the past few weeks we made them look poor for long spells. Are we the finished team, no, was that better, yes. Beers are cold and 3pts in the bag.

Have the team and management got the message, have we finally clicked, far too early to say but for tonight well done Ray and the players.

Please bring the same desire and positive play next week

Yep dinner is in the oven about to come oot imo. He's bought a whole new team and results have not improved and performances have been torture. Even the points we have picked up non of the wins were enjoyable to watch. ICT first game of the season was shite and it's got worse as we've gone on.

Was willing him to do well but he needs to go sooner rather than later to allow someone in who can strat to attack this league by grabbing it by the balls.

We were pedestrian at best, pass,pass,pass,pass,pass but as with the ladies it's nae use without penetration.

Brechin worked their socks off and deserved to get a draw. I was impressed with their No9 who bullied us in defence.

Wanted to see Fraser in the middle as the no 10 as he's wasted out wide and Kettings was rotten today and even he was releaved when it was cut short for him.

A wins a win however and we go again next week.

Yep WD that would be my starting line up tae. Allardyce drops to the bench for Fyvie. Durnan back in and Scobbie to left back. Robson on the bench. Fraser benched and McDonald up top (if fit enough)

have made my feeling on the laddie clear a number of times so won't go over old ground, however i wish well for the future and maybe at some point he will realise what is needed. If not he'll be playing part time football within 5yrs. 

Welcome aboard, hopefully he can help to get us the fuck out of this league and back to the SPFL. Canny wait till tomorrow at 3pm.

Totally agree he needs to be 100% over the injury, no point in him doing any more damage.
