I saw thon first lad at the fitba last night. Actually held the door open for him as I was leaving the chunty and he was going in. Would have belted it off his coupon if he'd suggested Lennon to me. I'd rather have yogi. At least it'd be funny.

McGhee won't be interested.

Was friends with him on Facebook. The man was a gent and I had some great chats with him about his playing career. He told me that Jinky Johnstone was the best player he ever played against. I think he only missed One or Two games through injury in a time when football was a bit more "agricultural". R.I.P Ally.

The board got in an inexperienced manager for our heaviest scheduled season this century and didn't get anyone with experience above him, all after the two previous inexperienced guys failed in similar circumstances. It's entirely their fault. If Robson had succeeded, it would have been pure luck. Obviously, you can always pick up a bad manager, or one who just doesn't fit for whatever reason, but you have to mitigate that in any way possible. Suffice to say, it's clear that there's nobody at the club capable of holding a manager to account and so any good appointment we might make will be down to luck.

This sounds like a story released to the P&J by a Mr Warnock, from England. It fucking better be.

If it’s Warnock I will be staying away until he is gone. Dinosaur whose teams usually play route one football and had a couple of top flight stints in England where his team were relegated. Surely to fuck we have better options.

P&J reckon they've already sounded out Warnock. Would be a disaster I think.

Can’t we just hire donstalk as next manager? We’ll clearly do a great job and have all the answers. Rico as spokesman though, we’ll need a fall guy.

I'm not ready to say goodbye to Duk yet and I refuse to sanction this transfer.

Mmm, so was Duk really ill last night ? Reports circulating today that he could be off to Spain Leganes (currently top of La Liga 2) attempting to sign him pre deadline Source: Sky Sports Anything that nets us over £1m after Benfica cut and I say take the money

That was so bad I couldn't even be arsed commenting when I got in. Terrible stuff. Despite our poor result at Tynecastle, we had a great first half, with the makings of a team and setup that could play in this type of fixture. It was something we could have built on. He decides that he can't trust MacDonald in a back four (maybe with reason, but you have to risk it in my opinion), so moves to a back three, with the centre half at right wing back and the right wing back at centre half. The formation (3-4-1-2) last night worked really well against the Huns here when they cheated to get a draw, but he genuinely doesn't see the differences between the fixtures and the teams we're playing against. His changes come late, and then he crams them into the space of twenty minutes, as always, so that all the subs get is five minutes to settle before changing shape and having to settle again. They never get the chance to show what they can do. McInnes would do the same too, it was frustrating, but the game was usually won by the time he did it. Clarkson had just started to play again with the move further forward, some of his link up play against hearts was excellent, so he gets shunted back and Barron gets dropped. He was clearly knackered when he came off, and Shinnie again had to cover 8 marathons in a single game. I can only assume Barron won't be here tomorrow, it's inexplicable otherwise. Injuries were an issue at the back in fairness. Jensen and MacDonald are a terrible pairing as they're both ponderous and miss the opportunity for the quick pass. Roos was really, really bad - the worst I've seen him - he just looked off the whole night, really panicked and drained of any remaining confidence. Looked to me like he was at fault for the goal, but difficult to tell from the RDL. Otherwise, nobody played exceptionally bad, we were just terrible as a team. It's a terrible place to be trying to bring through young guys like Duncan and Milne, it does them no favours. It's horrible to watch Robson go through such a slow and painful managerial death, being allowed to drown with seemingly no assistance from anyone at the club. If the strategy is to develop young managers, then 0/3 is a fucking awful statistic. It's brutal for Robson, as it was Glass and a lesser extent Goodwin. There is only one way this is going, and everyone can see it.
