Friendlies generally mean very little but it’s better to be on the right side of a 5-0.
Interesting to know if JG was back in the dugout.

Re: Closed door game in Maryhill
They play this coming midweek so i doubt they’d of put 100% in to the game but to beat the championship favourites for the titles in a lot of people’s eyes 5-0 is a positive sign.

Re: Closed door game in Maryhill
There's been a lot of interest from Iraq about the Iqbal signing, and loads of Iraquis posting on the various United social media platforms

I’m sure it would have come out if he was.

Re: Closed door game in Maryhill
There was a picture on Social Media of the squad out for a meal, which seems to have been taken post game.
It didn't look like Goodwin was in it, but I never looked closely enough to see if any of the coaching staff were.
I just hope he is ok, the picture at training they posted pre-Falkirk was vague I thought, the eye patch at the game was a concern, and if he wasn't taking the team in a bounce game, it perhaps suggests a longer layoff?
It's none of our business and it's a personal matter, so I wouldn't expect updates, he needs to take as much time as he needs to recover, or work out what's happening.
There's a 3 week break after Saturday, so perhaps we might hear something then, or he may well be back in the dugout.

If what happened to Goodwin is what is speculated, then he could be away from the dugout for a fairly long time.
I wonder if he or the club have thought about him moving upstairs to a Director of Football type position. Takes away the stress of day-to-day management, and allows him to recover out of the spotlight a bit. He’s always said one of his favourite aspects of the job is recruitment, and this would allow him to focus on that side of it without it getting it in the neck so much from people like me.
Would then allow us to hire more of a coach type manager who’s specialty is actually on the training pitch.

Re: Closed door game in Maryhill
Yeah, i've heard a few pieces of speculation, but wouldn't be comfortable speaking publicly about it, or posting it, as again, it's none of our business.
And this isn't being callous, but there's a growing concern amongst the fans that his time as our manager is coming to a close, whether we subscribe to that viewpoint or not, now nobody wants it to be under these circumstances. But if he needs to take a step away from the stress and strain, then do it, if he/the club think as you've said above a less hands on role, but still being involved, then I hope that can happen.
We've all got our opinions, but there's plenty of those who can't think before speaking, shouting, posting, (every fanbase has them) it would be horrible for him, his family to read some of the stuff that gets posted.
After the Falkirk game where it was pretty clear there was maybe a bit more than a routine check going on, someone altered the 'Get Well Soon Jim' banner the display team did, to 'Go Now Jim' or similar and few liked/shared it.
Tactless, ill-advised, cruel and just dickish. He was called out, but FFS read the room.
There's also been quite a few nasty comments re Iqbal on the official feed as well.
