Did Robson and sheerin not get a crack previously and do terribly? Can that and also the " knows the Scottish game patter" Neil lennon knew the Scottish game, McCoist knows it inside out. Didn't help either as a manager. Big Ange and Gerrard hadn't set foot in the country. Introduced new ideas and both got good results. Let's be honest, most dons fans would have chosen Goodwin over Ange at the time We need to look for a winner that plays football. I don't even care if they're not a top league guy. Let's spread our net properly instead of taking in the next punter that believes the old firm can never be touched. That punter usually being chosen from a West coast media's list of their unemployed pals. Let's look around Europe, Scandinavia etc and take a punt on someone up and coming. It can't go worse than the last pair of safe hands.

We seem to be wasting money hand over fist with recruitment too. We have more right wingers than the tory party and barely 2 centre half's

I'm amazed we haven't had a statement from the club yet. Even with the best will in the world Goodwins position is now untenable and he has to go.

If there's nobody available or worth employing at the time then an interim manager is handy til there is. An opportunity for Robson to maybe surprise us meantime??

At this stage I would be at peace with Robson as an interim.

He didn't hang around last time though I suppose glass was far more on the brink going into the Motherwell game. The club will have been caught on the hop and not expecting to be under such pressure to sack the manager so quickly. The bookies list of candidates is incredibly depressing but it's a shit time to be hiring. In fact there's probably no solution to this that isn't shit.

That's what she said...

Hopefully those Lazio scouts missed the game and still want to give us a couple of Bob for bojan. On that topic. Totally ineffective but I was more concerned that Duk seemed to give up. Nobody wanted to grab the game and change it. ( Johnny maybe gets pass marks ) This was a diddy team to all effects and our guys should've been desperate to grab a few goals. Looked more like we expected it to happen without actually making it happen. Coulson had another shocker and Stewart's distribution was questionable. As mentioned above mcrorie tried to lead the charger but lacks the ability once he gets there. The whole mentality has to change going forward. We need a winner in there. There's a distinct lack of leadership and the players need someone to give that direction. I don't think shinnie is a big enough presence for that either. In fact McKenzie for me is it only player that personifies that born winner. Were screaming out for a Scott brown type. Ironically the first thing Jim removed.

Scales style of play is two steps forward and turn and take two backwards. Last night wasn't by any means the first time I have noticed this but by fuck I lost count the number of times he did it

Just saying

I thought Goodwin was the correct appointment, I was wrong. I cant remember if it was the hibs game earlier in the season, or the huns game, I thought "He hasn't got the tactical ability. We're better to get rid sooner than later". Stewart, Scales and Lewis at 0-1 down passing it about amongst each other under no pressure before hoofing it aimlessly up field either out of play or to a Darvel players feet. McCrorie is like the big lad of limited ability at youth level, who gets annoyed, thinks he's better than he is, so just charges at people with the ball before firing it at 100 mph at one of his team mates from 3 yards, then gives out because they couldn't control it. Zero movement from the front 5. For the umpteenth time, I've seen Goodwin chatting with Samson (a GK coach) during the game, clearly bereft of ideas. Bringing on Cal Roberts who hasn't played since August(?) to win us a game??? 3 and a half minutes Darvel held that in the corner before we got it out and Stewart passed it straight to a Darvel player.

They were 33/1, because quite a few people had it on. Goodwin stood for most of the match with his arms folded, shouting very little, with no idea how to change things. Miovski & Besuijen subs was a "go on and see what you can do" as opposed to any sort of tactic change or plan. Once again, with it going against him, he didn't know how to turn the tide. I expect he'll be sacked on Tuesday once he speaks with Cormack (Cormack was at the game but the two never spoke at full-time). For me the next appointment has to be outwith Scotland, on account no-one in it inspires me. Lambert, Lennon, Tam Courts - no chance. Martindale & Davidson just another Goodwin. Steve Clarke surely not interested until after Euro 2024. Agne Postecoglou probably not interested (although may as well see what Celtic's price is...). Interested in maybe Danny Cowley. Stick has fallen since Portsmouth but still an interesting pick. I was at the Edinburgh derby on Sunday as a neutral. Watching Hearts, I still say they're a bang average side but they're effective, have bundles of confidence and belief, and their support was rocking for 90 minutes. They're tearing away in third again and will probably have guaranteed European football until Christmas again unless there's an almighty upset in the Cup. It's a sad day when you're jealous of Hearts. Hibs and Aberdeen though. Sacked somewhat stable managers who were underachieving in McInnes & Ross, tried something different with Glass & Maloney that didn't work out, and their current managers will be lucky to last to the fixture between the two teams at the weekend.

See you in 45 minutes.

All the names on the list and those mentioned (Mackay and Coyle) can get in the bin. Fuck that. Would find it incredibly hard to get behind the club if any of those mongrels were appointed.
