    As the punchline to the old Dubya joke goes: "Mr President, I believe it's pronounced "keesh"". You can find anything in a quiche

    Boardroom and dressing-room versions please!

    From the subject line, I wasn't sure whether someone was looking for scouts to work for the manager, or for scouts to help find a new manager. It was only when I clicked on the link that the penny dropped! Presumably the game has a special function only for ICT - completely random "lucky dip" team selection.

    You'd have to get the old ones out first. Vote of no confidence? On specific individuals or on the board as a whole? Do the directors have to offer themselves for re-election on a regular basis? You surely also have to have the replacements properly proposed and seconded, a proper agenda including all votes, etc etc.

    Are Motherwell still on the park? Dundee, you can score three goals in as many minutes...

    All this talk about "the losses incurred by relegation". What losses? Can anyone say what they are, and then quantify them? If the club is relegated then there will be less money coming in next season than this season, and, one hopes, less going out. But losses? Less or no TV money isn't a loss - it's less or no TV money. Less or no prize money isn't a loss - it's less or no prize money. The club will have a smaller turnover. It may make a loss - though there is the parachute payment to take into account. But relegation is a fact of life for a football club, and I think you'd be hard pressed to point to a particular loss - an actual loss, not a shrinkage in revenue - and say "that is directly as a result of relegation".

    A different song from Rod Stewart's, and the video isn't creepy either. A lament, appropriately.

    Classic! Which part of this - "Posted May 20, 2016" - did you not understand?
  11. snorbens_caleyman
    That's too easy, Charles. And we need a repeat now!

    It's not that bad! We can let Hamilton get a point
  13. snorbens_caleyman
    The threat, yes, but by my reckoning we can't go down today, even if we lose. If Hamilton and Motherwell draw, then we could catch either/both. If one wins, then we could catch the loser.

    No Vigurs That's put the kibosh on jagster's team selection!

    There can only be one...

    Could someone check if Ewen Mackenzie is still available? Couldn't do any worse, and he should have more experience under his belt now. Although I see he wanted RF as assistant... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-36387520

    The next match is in Dingwall at 19:45 on Friday 28th. That's why it mentions "away fans".
  18. snorbens_caleyman
    And I see from the highlights that one of them made a half-hearted claim for the goal, and the three nearest did not claim at all. Which should have meant something to the ref.

    The guy next to me in the Gents at the end of the Cup Final put it "perfictly": "Whatever happens now, we are in the history books forever!".

    That wouldn't make the statement bollox, though. There is nothing in it which says that they are NOT examining the situation. As I've already said, they can't come out with a credible "full confidence" statement, and they also (I hope) wouldn't say "we are considering the manager's future". But I would expect that they are investigating their options, possibly with a discussion on the agenda for the board meeting this week, which would more or less fit in with the Sun's timetable.
  21. snorbens_caleyman
    Indeed - that occurred to me when reading all the demands for Foran to go now. There are 6 games left. How many games would a new manager - unfamiliar with the squad - require to work out the best team and system? Cue someone to start shouting "Charlie Christie now!!"
  22. snorbens_caleyman
    And exactly what do you expect the board to say? They can either come out with the "full confidence in the manager and team" guff, and get laughed at. Or they can acknowledge that there are problems with the manager and the team, and thus pull out the last few threads of the rug from underneath them. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
  23. snorbens_caleyman
    Not if they get sent off in the tunnel! I said this the other day, and nobody reacted. So I'll say it again. If our players are as good as some folks here make out, why haven't THEY done something to sort themselves out? Experienced pros, playing at the top level in the country, should be able to see where the problems are, and then try to address them. I agree that the manager and coaching staff should take a lot of the stick, but the players themselves are not blameless.
  24. snorbens_caleyman
    So why don't our captain and senior players do something about that? Either by talking with the manager - and I do mean "with" and not "to" - or even making their own adjustments on the field of play when they can see what the problems are. Maybe I am being incredibly naive. Or maybe they have already done these things - I am not close to the club and I don't see many matches. But to blame absolutely everything on the manager seems a bit much, when we still supposedly have "players who are better than our current position would suggest". Presumably they can think for themselves - although I accept that whether they are allowed to is a different matter.

    You will get very tired of seeing this picture.
