Pauly 100% correct.
Absolute cretins that think shouting abuse at young guys is going to make them play better.
The moron shouting at tav should do us all a favour and slither back to his pit.
Anyone condoning the behaviour is a moron too.
Im embarrassed to be associated with these scumbags.

Agree athole I can imagine what the boy We signed from feyenoord was thinking probably what have I got myself into here.
2.) 03 Sep 2024 14:44:51
Absolutely agree 100%, there is zero excuse for that behaviour and these muppets are an embarrassment to the club!
3.) 03 Sep 2024 15:07:55
Exactly Jaws, who wants to come play for us if they have to face that shyte after every loss or draw, after every bad touch etc.
4.) 03 Sep 2024 15:23:20
Winners would want to come!
5.) 03 Sep 2024 15:55:44
How many winners have came so far?
6.) 03 Sep 2024 16:53:43
That's the problem with recruitment Alloa!

Shouting criticism and abuse at players doesn’t help club, manager and especially player. A player is very likely to respond better if he is encouraged or has his confidence built, than than the opposite, ridiculing and destroying his confidence. This applies to very experienced and newcomers alike.
The Manager should spend the week boasting confidence by encouraging his players and fans doing opposite doesn’t help.

I don't want 2nd best, but we need to start this re-build somewhere and like it or not, we're on the 1st rung of the ladder in getting back to challenging them.
If we keep sacking / hiring managers, we will never get off that 1st rung. I have no defence for that mince today. No one with pass marks but we have to suck it up for long term progress.
I don't understand why Tav is in the team any more than anyone else can. Is PC the man to win us trophies? I don't know, but he's the man in place just now to help implement our recovery strategy.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 18:45:59
I thought we would do OK today. After watching that they're so far ahead of us it's scary. Look fitter, move the ball so quick. They have pace. 3 touches and they're at our box from their goal. We have 20 touches and it's back at Butland.
2.) 01 Sep 2024 18:46:01
I don’t think he is, certainly not in the next 18/ 24 month.
We just need to see basic improvements in performance which we’re not currently seeing.
I’m not even worried about this season, my only worry is how do we stop 10 in a row with our current strategy (and I use that term loosely as I don’t think we have one)
3.) 01 Sep 2024 18:46:27
Good post mate.
4.) 01 Sep 2024 18:54:03
Mate don’t disagree but after 55 or after 2012
When did the rebuild start when does it end why 2024 are we still talking about rebuilds and had the most expensive wage bill in Scotland
I’m bored we’re crap and that’s where we are just now let’s just get on with it.
5.) 01 Sep 2024 18:59:18
I agree with that but we will see if majority of fans are as patient.

Just watched PCs press conf. I'll tell you what, we've got the right man to steer us through this reset and refocus era.
He's driven and knows what we need.
For the first time i feel like we have a strategy and a direction of travel. Its ok having a plan but if you don't have a strategy, it means hee haw.
Also watched clips of the new Albanian boy. Very good close control and he looks strong. Lots of clips of people trying to bully him off the ball and he outmuscled them.
Lets assess where we are come end of season. No prizes handed out tomorrow.
Trust the strategy.

Good post Athole.

Ive defended tav in the past and his style of captaincy but i can't any longer.
If a stranger tuned into our games this season and asked him to identify who is the leader on the pitch, tav would be the last he'd pick.
His body language is atrocious. Compare him to Barron, a young boy. Even Dio directs play more than tav does.
Shoulders slumped. He looks beaten.
1.) 18 Aug 2024 15:00:31
Rank rotten.
2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:34:57
I’m actually at the feeling sorry stage for him.
Positional play is all over the camp.
He’s lost at least a yard of the pa e.
And looks a dejected figure on the park at times.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 15:50:03
There's no other way of putting this, but he is basically useless. It's very concerning when our captain is also our worst player on the park. If PC does not drop him, he will regret it.
4.) 18 Aug 2024 16:15:58
He is well past his best time to go but course a midfielder controls play more than a right back.
5.) 18 Aug 2024 18:12:56
Wrote that couple of weeks back mph. It happens to us all, your body can no longer keep up with your brain, shame that's happening to him, also a shame the amount of money we pay him.
6.) 18 Aug 2024 22:19:44
i am usually defending Tav but finding it more difficult. i noticed now that when he is knackered which is coming about quicker than ever he wants everyone to slow down to his pace. shouldn't be that way. he should look to move on to a league where he can still play before he does his reputation more damage. always go out ahead is what i believe.
06 Aug 2024 21:04:55
Oh look at that. maybe, just mayb.
31 Aug 2024 16:19:02
This just doesn't seem to be landing with some people re Hagi.
It's not just his wages, his previous club is due upwards of 1mil if he reaches the threshold.
30 Aug 2024 16:02:19
Good post laudruphagi.
24 Aug 2024 11:52:47
RFC what's the point in that question to John? Get a grip man.
Club were damned for not sharing enough info now they're damned for sharing too much about the transfer policy.

For those who want Hagi played. If he played 1 very good game but he was playing for another club, would you want us to pay £1.4 million to sign him and 38k per week wages based on the above?
Also, if his 2nd name wasn't Hagi would he even be playing outside Romania?
08 Sep 2024 16:49:27
GVB you're throwing unfounded statements out there.
Show me the data that says Butcher and Gough were faster than Propper.
Otherwise your statement is nonsense.
08 Sep 2024 12:55:38
GVB - disagree re Propper
Richard Gough
Terry Butcher
Davie Weir
John Brown to name but a few
No pace
Bad defenders.
06 Sep 2024 08:15:37
Gary - good post.
01 Sep 2024 13:25:03
King - yes let's get rid of PC then clear the pkayers out and begin the cycle again!
Grow up.
Did you think this re-build would take 4 games?
