As I said in the other thread the Peterhead board are extremley ambitious and that's why they sacked Stewarty - they are **** bent on getting into Div 1.

Why should we change what's serving us so well at the moment? We have all these posters on here praising the team (and rightly so) yet they want to try out all sorts of bizarre formations that should be kept for playing FM 2007 :015: 4 - 4 - 2 to start with - you know it makes sense. Then, if like against Falkirk we are struggling, then we can look to change :003:

Careful Kaiser, you might get labelled as a non believer or a boo boy with that kind of attitude...

Here is the form guide for the last 6 games. Lets be honest, if Strachan got it we could have no complaints. [attachment deleted by admin]

I think he raises a fair point about our sole tactic on Saturday which clearly wasn't working. One wonders why we persisted with it for so long...

Time to come clean - I am Barry Wilson!!!

Considering a key part of this rumour is that he is "out of contract in January" then I know what I think of this rumour.

I think so. I'll be out cruising down the Boulevard round that part of town tonight so I'll have a wee look and confirm. If I can't go that sounds like a good plan :003:

Nice piece in the P & J from Mr Wilson in which he raises two things that I have commented on recently. 1) While we are in a very good position we still aren't playing the kind of football we are capable of. 2) Our sole tactic on Saturday was "Thump to bayne" which was, essentially, ineffectual garbage. When we pass it we play so much better. *Wilson Interview*

Do you think if we can get the A9 upgraded to dual carriageway all the way he would want to stay?

That is the key comment from Thom(p)son - why did he appoint such an inexperienced manager in the first place? It's a shame we don't have the messages for the Sportnetwork forum any more. I think a fair few of us had said that CB wouldn't last a year.

It is sadly. I've known about this for a while now and only in the last few days did the rumours surface. Fact is the Peterhead board are perhaps more ambitious than the fans and after last season almost expect to push up to Div One as soon as possible. The poor start has led them to this decision. It's not one I think is the correct one as the Division is very tight but clearly they don't feel Stewart is the man to take them that bit further. Paterson and Cooper, potentially, is a very good set up to take them into Div 1.

Spot on. I know from my own experience that linesmen get pelters from the crowd yet as soon as they turn round and give a bit of lip back the fans are screaming murder and trying to get the guy banged up.

Was one of them Guy Kerr?

Up until the last couple of seasons Robson has easily bettered himself by moving. All well and good saying that he hasn't now that we are above them in the league but for a while we weren't so he is possibly the best candidate for bettering themselves after leaving the Highlands.

The Evening Express, which seems to now publish more Non Aberdeen stories online, also had the same article. *Evening Express*

He's been sacked. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/6096438.stm

Rumour is Levein to United, Brew to Dunfermline, Ancelloti to Raith.

A bit like Yogi saying last week he could see ICT coming back into the game and that there would only be one winner yet did nothing about it until the 90th minute when he made 2 substitutions :015:

Charlie Mann said on Sportsound yesterday it was an empty threat.

Brewsters entire United 'revolution' was going to be built around getting cetain players from ICT. He never got them and had no other options in the transfer market. So in a way Graeme Bennet and David Sutherland, by playing hard ball, are the ones who have gotten CB sacked :015:

Like Hairy Chibber I am also being lazy and C n P'ing **** road works near Stirling and the traffic in Glasgow caused my Megabus to be over an hour late with me arriving in Glasgow at just after 15:00. After a quick scarper to Central I got there to see a train on route to Paisley just about to leave. Pelted along to platform 13 to see it haul away. Had to wait another 10 - 15 minutes for the next one which was then late leaving by another 5 - 10 minutes. Got into Paisley about half past three and on the way to Love Street heard that Dargo had scored. Arrived 5 minutes before half time and got in for a tenner in the end thanks to a lovely, sympathetic woman who was hanging about the turnstyles :003: Because of that I can only comment on the 2nd half and St. Mirren basically shagged us utterly dominating posession and playing the ball out well. For a time they were matching us in the God awful long ball rubbish but soon started to get it down and get it wide to the impressive Lappin on the left and *insert name here* on the right. The number of crosses Mirren got into the box were phenominal and seemed to cause us no end of problems in defence. We looked very shaky trying to clear it away. Mirren deservedly drew level based on sheer posession and creation of goal scoring chances. I'd be interested to see the goal again, looked like Sutton had no ICT player near him when he headed towards goal. Reminded me of Dods goal for us against Hearts at Tynie a season or so ago. At our end Dargo had a good shot which might have sneaked in but Wilson got in the way and was offside anyway. A glorious Hart corner should have been buried by Bayne but he missed his header. We had another great chance which escapes me right now but at the end of the day a draw was the least Mirren deserved. As fo the size of our support, shocked that never came up earlier actually, I thought it was a good number as well bearing in mind most were faced with a 10 - 12 hour day trip to watch ICT today.

Dunan has to learn how to pass a ball - it's getting embarrasssing! Shame we can't combine the two of them... :evil07:

It really is bizarre. We are currently 4th despite playing poorly in most of the last few games! How do we do it? :015: As I've been saying recently, can you imagine what would happen when we click? :001:

At the start of the season I would have said yes but now - no chance. It seems that he is done and if he could have done a job he would have been playing for Yinited during their awful hilarious current run of form.
