His last words were "that's some hit min" as he watched Matty Kennedy's free kick fly into the net last night.

No I don't think so. You see chairman sacking managers because they haven't lived up to unrealistic expectations. I don't think that's the case with McInnes, Glass or Goodwin who have all fallen below expectations. Rangers have recently binned a manager who got them to a European final and won the Scottish Cup six months previous. I wanted Goodwin to get the job and therefore I don't blame Cormack for appointing him. I also don't blame Cormack for the recruitment because he backed him financially in summer. The worrying thing is I don't think new players in January solves Goodwin's problems. Yes he might find better individuals than Stewart and Richardson, but he'll still make numerous tactical blunders, he'll still have no idea how to get the best out of McCrorie and Barron in particular. The lack of fight which he directed at the players is down to him - he got rid of the team's leaders. And how can you accuse the players of a lack of fight when you were praising them 10 days ago for time wasting at home v Celtic to try and get a point because you had no belief in them? He started with a bull in a China shop approach which binned Scott Brown, said the squad wasn't up to it when hoping they might still deliver top six & Europe, and publicly embarrassed Considine, Bates & Ramirez. He spent summer chasing wingers and ignoring the defence. And this season we've had games at home where we've looked good on the front foot but been helped massively by penalties and red cards. It's been papering over cracks stuff. On the road we've been found out. Taken to extra-time by Annan. Easily beaten at Easter Road. Hammered at Ibrox. Thumped at Tannadice. Defeats in Paisley and Livingston. And had we not been playing a Derek McInnes team who sat back on 2-0 we could have had another hiding at Rugby Park. The midfield constantly over run. A calamitous defence. Little service to the strikers. Subs that make no sense. It's not working, and January isn't going to fix it. I don't expect him to be sacked before Ross County, but Cormack now needs to begin thinking seriously of a replacement.

Brown had more good games than bad. In the first half of last season he was one of our better players. We should have played him in a deeper role - possibly even defence - but to label him an awful signing when he out performed most of his team-mates, was generally fit and available to play 90 minutes each week, and was a proper leader - I'm not sure what people really expected from him. Steve Davis at Rangers is a prime example. Still a very important part of the squad but they don't build the team around him and accept he's not going to play every week. We overused Brown. That was one of Glass' big errors, but he likely would have naturally played less this season anyway had he stayed. Actually, it's very normal. Ange Postecoglou for one had his entire coaching team forced upon him by Celtic. Your example is a bit extreme, but having someone at the club with an alternative view to Goodwin wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. We have a squad and staff put together by Goodwin who are all yes men.

Ah yes…. Spot the loony. No idea what I was thinking

Nice one Rico Just checked and it has been

You're right. We should probably try and get it switched to pittodrie

I want to keep my feelings short and sweet. I've probably fallen out of love with my team since Dave Cormack took over in 2019. We've spoken with a couple of people on the inside at club. One isn't there anymore and is glad they're away from Pittodrie now. This person does agree with me that under Jim Goodwin we're going nowhere. Understand a large chunk of our support were quite glad Derek McInnes and Tony Doc. got sacked. Yes stuff turned sour toward last year or so but for me personally think Derek and Tony's downward spiral started when Dave took over. Firmly believe their good work first six to seven years has been conveniently forgotten about because of last few months they were in job. My life from a personal point of view with the two lifelong disabilities we have is hard enough on a daily basis that the stress the club are giving me past three years is something I don't need. Watching football is suppose to be fun win, lose, draw. It stopped being that for me as soon as Dave Cormack took charge. The game is a different animal that when I first started following the club in 1989. And I don't think it is for the better either. Utterly fed up with the sport.

Talking pish there. Tait was almost 32 when he played with us on loan.
