We really should've strengthened from a position of reasonable strength as Yogi asked for after the cup win instead the core of the squad bolted on freebies Yogi was left with buttons to replace them probs said a few choice things to the board and things went downhill for him! Hindsight would've been better giving him a few bob to sign Storey and the boy Motherwell got can't mind his name would've still been an SPL side we were well established till Foran came in mad how a few crazy decisions can set a club back possibly years
-
Crazy stuff my man I like Robbo but would've kept him on a rolling contract in my eyes he's not done enough to merit a lengthy contract surely his remit was win promotion or the league not once had he even came close was a crazy decision appointing him in the first place at that time we needed a manager who knew the league knew the players who was available somebody with contacts for loanees not Robbos fault just a lazy appointment by the board can't blame him for taking a cushty lengthy contract

No gonna lie I'm chuffed with that point actually thought we'd loose the day Alloa are on form wer defo struggling hopefully kick on stay in the play off spots ! Team to look out for the Pars good squad plenty goals there

Both previous board and this 1 have made some crazy decisions not taking compo for Yogi if as said the relationship had broken down then sacking him while still paying his wage taking an untried broken down player a proper cheap option then sticking with him when he'd clearly lost the dressing room insanity! Then the new board taking on a manager who tho I think he's decent enough hadn't managed at any level in a decade wouldn't have had any contacts for players info on who was available and didn't even apply was another strange decision resulting in us spending most of the season fighting relegation when really with a manager who knew the scene we'd have been surely winning the title
-
They've sold quite a few players for decent fees Naismith and Liam Lindsay pulled in near another million! They even managed a fee for Alex Cooper 1 of the worst players to ever wear our jersey would've targeted Alice Cooper!
-
Never thought I'd see the day when they'd be a far bigger club than us but they're miles ahead on and off the pitch now!
-
We could always try playing Storey in shock horror his true position! The strikers get slated and tbf are in the main gash but Robbos tactics i.e. Long ball must be a part of it as well long gone are the days of silky Barca type possession footy under the messiah that was Yogi mind u lot of posters on here at the time we're dying for more direct play so they can't moan
-
That's a good point my man the club used to rent several houses dunno if they still do right enough
-
Haha not the best example tbf just think Falkirk have assembled a half decent squad specially at that level doubt they'll be paying big wages
-
The part that says we are skint what I mean is wev not spent our meagre budget wisely Toddy and White had bad records when they arrived in front of goal why think it'd change that 2 wages could've been used wiser same as Carson Mchattie Trafford none of whom are even remotely decent
-
Loads of players who'd score at this level went for no money what u think wer paying players in bottletops or clubs like Morton and Falkirk are paying ransoms gotta shop smart at this level
-
Comparing White to Billy mackays like comparing a tractor to a Ferrari only similaritys both can move it's no debate Mackays a class above! Proven goal scorer at a far higher level
-
Could we not play them right back ? Right back to where we got them from
-
The thought of Toddy in defence is insane he's terrible in his proper position so hate to see him in 1 he's not used to! I played cb before maybe Robbo give me a holler he seriously if he has contacts use them now get a couple of players in on loan CB and a striker without lead feet!
-
If we were offered a bag of pic and mix for that pair should've grabbed it! We haven't developed any players since Christie and Polly either so not a good record when u look at likes of Hamilton and Livi on that front
-
Some of the comments on here are class I wouldn't take McKay or Berra ffs they're miles better than anybody in our squad wev no hope of getting them ! These posters need to stay of the Acid
-
Can't say yogis team didn't work for him that's madness best times ever for us punches well above there weight for years
-
We can match anybody just nobody to convert the chances consistently our downfall for years no cutting edge doesn't matter how much of the ball u get if u can't put it in the onion basket my man
-
The defence is still solid enough a bigger blow is having blank firing forwards seen Tony Watts looking for a club be a good signing put himself in the shop window he'll end up in the championship no doubts with 1 of our play of rivals
-
Up tops a position Robbos never been able to fill the signing of Sutherland doesn't fill me with joy either no had a decent striker since McKay under Foran ! Rest of the teams as good as any in the league just toothless upfront he signs players who's records are already atrocious and thinks they'll bang them in where's his contacts even players like Zak Rudden or Brian Graham would be a huge improvement on who wev got and Sutherland
-
Was it big Js dad or Gregor in disguise? Whites an enigma hard to say if he'd be good in a team with better wingers defo not cut out as a lone striker the way Robbo plays usually tho like OCG says he usually puts a shift in
-
Apparently Foran had the bullying approach as well must be something both boards have looked for in managers surely if McCart was getting bullied the likes of White and Traff were getting slaughtered be rude not 2! People are offended by anything these days tho so would take the rumours with a pinch of salt they're grown men no nursery school pupils
