IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Where the feck is Govan ?

ICT sponsored by George ?

Have you a source for that mate Aye me on Twitter ha ha ha And did you have a source/link desperation now I'd take any striker No just read he was released. That's all. Seriously doubt he'd be in our budget if the rumours re his wages last year when at County are even half true! You would not Adam and Eve who is rumoured to be offering to fund some of this ?

Rangers have now signed the five Newcastle lads on loan so, I wonder what that means for Clark ? I thought that you were too young to recall the Dave Clark five.

What is / was the contingency plan ?

Jordan Slew is in discussion and given the circumstances there is some leeway both fer him and for us.

Have you a source for that mate Mate and local journo Dave Seddon - asked his permission.

Now I am not taking the pishh - Jordan Slew in talks.

Yesssssssssss James Dean from Chorley

Have faith we have a contingency plan - all at TCS is calm and confident.

Apparently Darren Fletcher has been spotted in the Innes Bar.

But can we not pull in a loan at any time ?

Oh dear - if that was the first choice things do not look promising. GAWD to we need a stroke of good fortune.

Shure there is a contingency plan for all eventualities

Rocky1 - are you one of the very few who never considered weeks and weeks ago that there was a distinct possibility / probability that McKay would be subject to bids in this specific window as he was out of contract at the end of the season ? Do you think that the management should have considered contingency plans to put in place should the possibility become an eventuality ? What about looking at possible loan deals involving players who would be suitable to play in the role in the system occupied by McKay ? I am hopeful however that this error can be sorted and that our season continues to move forward in a positive vein.

Of course Yogi is not alone but he is the figurehead who has to shoulder the responsibility. We did not need a public statement. We should have been preparing a contingency plan behind doors and implementing in the event of any need. Sitting patiently on the sidelines is not an effective response. When did constructive criticism ever do any harm ? Mistakes appear to have been made but without any suggestion that they have. Knee jerk reactions can sometimes avoid knee joint dislocations. This faux-pas could be mended and could be looked at as a blip in retrospect. My concern is that it could cause a derailment of a potentially joyous journey. I note that very few have joined in the debate. I shall conclude at this juncture and look forward to a repaired and positive response when I journey to Partick next week.

Intelligent and honest contributor.

Oh...should have read a bit further, it was there already! Personalise it now as usual - LOL - The reference was to co-dependents not to happy clappers. At least Yogi shows emotion.

Why bother? Any disagreement will clearly be met with "I was waiting for the happy clappers" type response. LOL - another lame response. SP evidently disagrees and I can see where he is coming from. I just can't understand why some people appear to feel that he is beyond criticism. He is human and makes mistakes and he can't hide it like previous examples of narcissist and mercenary. I am sure that he is hurting.

SP - I have backed him to the hilt and really liked him. I am sure that he is hurting and the interview clearly shows that. I know that I will continue admire his honesty and committment and of course I will support him from here on in. But to use one of your words I am angered and frustrated that he has chosen such a CRUCIAL time of this very promising season to make his first big faux-pas. Let's hope that this week will herald an arrival and it is on to Partick in pursuit of another Cup Final.

Oh and - LOL - was I wrong about Butcher ? - and - LOL - who were the ones to try and bitterly defend him till the end ? And now I come up with my first real complaint about Yogi - justified and clearly presented IMHO and - well with a more subdued defence really.

I was awaiting that -LOL. He is nowhere near a narcissist. He is as straight as a die and that is why he can't fabricate well. It just frustrates me that mistakes, misjudgements or boo boos have been made which are evident and many become mega defensive. The fact that such a juvenile response is uttered shows the lack of any intelligent debate.

There has and always will be a lack of available resources at ICT. That has hampered every manager in the past and probably the future so that is that. He is usually a very honest and straight talking individual and says it as it is. I have significant admiration of that. But this was an uneasy interview. The length of it only served to highlight the falseness. If anything that is one thing that Butcher excelled in. And my frustration is that it did not happen quickly. It may have ended up unexpectedly but good managers make plans in the event of a potential problem. WE did not. There should have been a fairly structured contingency plan in place. And come on SP - you do not need to be an expert in body language to see how unusually uncomfortable Yogi was during the interview. As I have alluded to before he is high up in my admiration but he and others have clearly been too lax in this specific booboo. Let's all hope that it is an unusual and unfortunate blip and that we can still salvage what was looking like an excellent season. But adhering to the squad that we have, shuffling and not finding some kind of direct replacement fer Billy will not suffice.

He is infectious but watch again. There was a distinct lack of conviction in what he said. He stammers quite a lot and that is not the norm - that is the diction of somebody who is not really believing what he is saying. Wjgan only made an approach 2-3 dyas ago - ah feckin ha - ? not expected ? And he totally waffles about replacing Billy. "We are looking to get one two in" but we aint got a clue who ? Of course we will support and get together but "keeping clean sheets" and "giving another 5% each" is feckin nonsense. And then he stammers more and Auldie does not push. Great closure with the "All Together Now" - but at the end of the day WE FECKED UP and we need a break and a bit of luck with a replacement. "I am intrigued" is BULLSHITT it is more a case of "WE FECKED UP". And in conclusion I hope Yogi / WE get a lucky break.
