Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, in the name of God, man.

 
2 wins in 15 games

9 goals in that time

Failed to score in 8 of them.

A total lack of identity and style of play, with absolutely zero evidence of anything changing anytime soon

Ross County, Livi, Aberdeen and St. Mirren were 17, 10, 9 and 7 points behind us at the beginning of this run. That gap now stands at 4, 1, 1 and 1. Motherwell and Hibs were at least 5 points behind us at this point, they’re both now above us. Hearts were level with us, they’re now miles ahead.

That a big enough picture for you.

We are not still in the league Cup actually but don't let facts get in the way of your constant rambling shite.

This is either someone connected to the hierarchy who's feebly attempting to pass off as a fan, or a complete wind up merchant trying to get  on genuine fans nerves. Either way he needs fucking off and I think it ought go to a vote.

I'll go first, get him to fuck!

I wasn’t against the appointment of Courts, it was something different and it was a guy who knew the young players at the club and youth is the way we want to go apparently so I was all for giving him a chance.  After the first few weeks I was pretty happy, we were pressing teams when they had possession and we were putting in some decent attacking performances (Hibs away the highlight) and fans were enjoying watching the team. 

However, since Livingston away when we couldn’t beat 10 men (very similar to today) we have been absolutely stinking.  The two narrow wins we had (home v Aberdeen and home v County) could easily have been defeats as well to be honest.  Certain players seem to get away with consistently poor performances- namely McNulty, Pawlett, Harkes and Clark- where they’ll maybe be benched for a game but then they’re back in again.  Other (younger) players seem to be treated very differently- Mochrie, Chalmers, Glass - 1 poor game and they’re benched for weeks.  Our style of play is so slow and safety first, everyone back to defend a corner v 10 men, only ever one player up front (despite the personnel in the starting 11 suggesting otherwise).  Courts talks utter shite as well, which I don’t really care about if we are getting results and playing well but just infuriates me when I’ve watched another 90 minutes of utter crap.

I have a season ticket so will be at most home games but right now I’m 50/50 on renewing.  Got a ticket for Thistle away but that will possibly be my last away game this season as I can’t justify wasting time and money on this pish anymore.

Courts out? Yes from me and the sooner the better.

Love to be looking back at this in a year and he’s turned it right around but cannot see that being remotely possible I am afraid.

I’m with Snacks.

4 league goals in the last 15 hours of league football. An own goal and penalty count for two of them.

The worst of all is trying to tell us that our eyes are deceiving us and that we are creating chances. It’s brutal and as things stand I won’t be rushing to renew under this current set up.

Apparently we had wave after wave of attack once they got a man sent off yesterday.

I must’ve been at a totally different game yesterday.

Tam was on propaganda TV talking about how since Killie game we've been gathering a bit of momentum.
What planet is he living on ?

Was interesting yesterday, second half one of the breaks in play the pampered laddies a' gaithered at the sideline for their slurp ae Powerade.   They're a' getting heated instructions from Liam Fox and Tam's standing about a yard away fae the conversation.
Don't know if I'm reading too much into this but to me Tam's lost the dressing room.
You lose the dressing room your gone.

Other managers would give their left nut for this pool of talented laddies and auld heids, but what does Tam do ?    - It's as though he contrives very successfully to get the very worst possible performances out of them. 10/10 mate.

He's been beneficiary of a promote from within policy. Sometimes works, somestimes doesn't - it's been an abysmal failure.

We know chaw'd caramel puss was no good and that Mr O is an improvement. But it's nonethless getting a worry when we're having to watch these performances. By dint of the way mid table results are going fortunately we're hanging on to mid table position, otherwise you'd be forgiven for thinking these last couple of games were two relegation strugglers battling it out scraping every possible point.                                 

Time to bite the bullet Mr O.     Tam's got to go and so does Nero.

Offer Mulgrew the gig on temporary basis.


 

Interesting you mention Mulgrew, heard from someone who’s mates with one of our first team players that apparently the levels in training when Mulgrew’s no there is night and day. Apparently training’s a lot sharper and more intense when Mulgrew’s there, whereas there’s an awful lot of fucking about when he’s not.
 

Yeah, noticed a thing, maybe a month ago, maybe Ross County, midway through second half, Mulgrew goes down, sponge jokers run on.    Mulgrew takes himself off,  not even a glance across at the bench.    Why would he ?   There's a man 44 caps for Scotland, played at the highest levels.   Why would he even be interested in what Tam thinks ?

I agree with snacks I wasn't against the appointment just the whole bullshit show around interviewing to identify the best candidate.  We knew who it was going to be and sadly this is one of the more recent occasions where I thought the club took us all for idiots and thought we had no clue - and don't even get me started on the Daved Tanner interview.

The rhetoric about the development of youth and how poor the style of football under MM was has backfired as we are playing less young players now and the style of football in no better than last season - was foolish to make those statements

I, like most, was pleasantly surprised by our early season form and results but there has been a drop off in form from some of our key players and I can't help but feel that all teams out there have adapted to how we are going to set up and play and know how to nullify it. Anyone can see that - well except our head coach.

Although I concede due to living in Lancashire i haven't been to many games, but have watched all online.  From what I can see our coach has absolute belief in his tactics and that they are the right approach, most games where we have made substitutes the players changed have been like for like, take and attacking midfielder off and replace them with another etc.  so it is apparent it must be he feels the players are not executing the tactics the way instructed. 

with this in mid i arrive at the conclusion nothing will change and we will continue to play the same way for the rest of the season, i think we will scrape enough points to stay up.  The big question is how much longer does TC get if our form remains the same, my concern is he will only go if TA goes - so dont expect anything to happen anytime soon no matter our for.

I have to echo the views on Mulgrew and see that as no more of a risk than TC was but feel his wealth of experience under different coaches may give him more insight.

Good post LA.

6 points between 4th and 10th.  Let's not get carried away.  Keep up last nights form and we'll be fine.  Don't and won't.

Who knows whether the reported incident is true or not.  People need to form their own views - for me it suits what I perceive to be the character of our current management, but I also take it with a pinch of salt.  There is however no need for the 'you're a liar' insinuations of the response which is why I described the poster as a tool.  Which I stand by.  I have doubted, openly, many of his posts, but I have never effectively called him a liar.  The fact that he so readily makes that judgement on someone else, who may only be reporting something he has actually heard (true or not), is why he is a tool.

I've doubted some of his posts as well but ' did ye, aye' doesn't really say to me 'your'e a liar'.......
Sometimes wonder if we are the same support.....
Us up to 4th suits his posting history, had we got beat last night, some of your historical posts might have looked more accurate.
