Richard Brittain is an example - just not a great one.

I dreamed about Hartley becoming our gaffer...2 days later permission is granted to speak to him...its destiny - Team Hartley

Another morning and hopefully we are another morning closer to Team Hartley...

Team Hartley! I dreamt about it lol

Honestly thinking that you are on the wind-up now! Totally disagree that Watkins has no skill. He is willing to take the ball in tight situations from throws, especially in the first half and worked some good positions. Needs to get his final ball away earlier however as lost the chance to cross on a few occasions. Don't forget however that he is still getting used to this level of football and sometimes it takes a few games to adjust and get it right. Darren Thomson has a better cross... Only one Darren Thomson

I heard yesterday that he was at the game. Yet we also heard yesterday he was out of the running...I just dont know anymore Alot of hearsay to be honest. Hopefully everything will be settled by tomorrow evening. (Wishful thinking) Your right...wishful thinking. Still remaining as Team Hartley here... Same here but if someone of Craig Levein's calibre came calling I think the club would opt for him. All hearsay again but if he is available aye fair enough.

Watkins really seems to have divided opinion following yesterday. His workrate his 2nd to none and he did a lot of effective work tracking back but he possesses almost no skill and im yet to see him convincingly beat a man on the wing.

DD has it spot on. Hibs have blown a fortune in the last season on time wasters like James Collins and have nothing to show for it. Terry and Mo will be doing the same thing they did here. Free bes and loanees. Only difference is they wont have to settle for the 3rd or 4th option on the list. They will more than likely get their prime targets. I really dont fear then coming after our players. Hibs paid through the nose just to get the Managerial Dream team they wanted. I will be surprised if any money will be left to spend (unless they have a clear out). As said the players havent lost faith and they certainly havent lost their bottle. The last performances, Hibs with the circumstances and St Johnstone being a boagey team pay dividence to that. We are on the brink of making more history in our near 20 year existance. We as fans can all sense and I think so can the players.

Great goal from Billy. Lovely bit of skill by Viva Tremarco and Billy did well to adjust himself to put it in. Saints looked dangerous on the break but seemed to run out of ideas really quickly, especially in the 2nd half. Dont remember Deano needing to do much. Foran and the back four put in another solid shift as well as Billy running himself raged. Defensively we coped well. This is a result we threw away in the last minute last season, whereas this season we have held out, sign of progress - especially given that its been 2 and a half years since our last win over Saint Johnstone. This no manager thing seems to be working well but no doubt we will be finding out soon enough... Only negative of the day i have is Marley Watkins - what is he supposed to be doing? Works hard enough but just dosent offer enough going forward for me, time will tell i suppose.

Would prefer Hartley over Shiels but if its him and Nicholl Id give them my full support...still convinced Hartley is the better choice though Not like we dont have the cash.

Offering nothing more than Bookie odds that weve seen already.

I dont want Robbo back but I will stand up for him here. He lost some of his jobs due to situations outwith his control. He was the first of Mad Vlads victims, County brought him in under false pretences and left him with no option but to resign and he got caught in the middle of a boardroom dispute as Derry got rid of him so they could bring Stephen Kenny back as their manager. I will admit he bombed East Fife and Livi though. As said I dont want him back but just think it should be noted that he hasnt been a disaster everywhere he has gone since he left. Suffered more from bad luck.

No one is going and no has any reason to go. Tobys future may be in question now depending on how the new manager rates him.

Been out of his depth for too long. Glad he is gone. Regardless of why.

Do you remember the dream? I'll buy back the Micra and we can hit Concord Rangers this weekend.

Having researched Paul Hartley's stats I'd be really happy to see us take a punt on him. Didnt realise Alloa were 3rd division when he took over. With the cup looming we need a winner in the dugout. With 2 promotions to his 2 and a half year career as a manager, as well as his side flying high in the 1st Division (screw off, Im not saying Championship) he would bring a winning mentality into the dressing room as well as an eagerness to succeed and prove himself at the highest level. Amongst all the names that are flying about he is the one that is standing out for me now.
