Always good when someone wants a manager in and doesn’t know what their actual name is.

You happy to stick with Glass?

[winchester83]

Bulldoze Cormack Park and return to Seaton

[Torry Tosser]

Just a thought,maybe it's not all doon to Glass,is his assistant Broon maybe having too much input in selection and team talk and tactics....Just wondered.

What the fuck are you on about? Are you actually that much of a window licker or just on the wind up? No cunt wanted a PE teacher from America so what a stupid point.

Really really thick.

Ah right, so you only wanted change if it meant winning every week? I see.

Grow up min.  You know damn well this was not the intention. 

I'll accept that there was a risk, but the point is we've taken the risk, it hasn't worked, so we try and fix it. We don't just sit back allow everything to go to ratshit. 

Right so at least we are getting somewhere now. There was every possibility this season could be horrendous no matter who we put in charge, there was no guarantee things were going to be any better than under McInnes as for all his faults we were  consistent. I distinctly recall posters on here saying they wouldn’t mind a difficult season or two if it meant we would end up a better side. That’s been swiftly forgotten now we’ve not won in 8.
 

I was willing to let glass have at least this season and build his own team etc but it’s looking like we can’t afford to do that now.

[El Pacino]

Matter of time before he turns on the “group of players” he keeps referring too. What a complete and utter pile of shit. I said when Ross left Sunderland we should move heaven and earth to bring him in. No let’s bring in my pal Glass.

Am I fuck. You on the other hand are trolling me and trying to make up arguments

Do you think a team should have more backbone than lose two goals in about 7 minutes after going down to ten men against a team who have been in poor form?

Yes.

We went down to 10 men, so immediately should have narrowed the game and closed the spaces. Their equaliser came as a result of us being too expansive and allowing them space to play into. I'd also need to see who should have followed their scorer in as he was left to run.

So yes, we collapsed when we went to 10 and didn't tighten up the ranks enough as we should have done

[Dr_Manhattan]

We've been utter shite from almost the second Considine got injured. Since then, Glass hasn't had a clue how to set up at the back, chopping and changing every other week. I don't think he has any idea what our best defensive set up is, and to be fair neither do I. Lots of square pegs in round holes.

Our best defensive lineup is: -

Ramsay Bates McCrorie MacKenzie

I think everyone is happy enough with Ramsay and McKenzie as the full backs. Bates does seem to need a few more games to get up to speed (Slow to get out for their first and manhandled for their third). McCrorie is our best CH.

I'd be happy with that being the starting defence most weeks

I wanted him to have at least a season to get things the way he wants them but it looks like we can’t afford to do that now, or at least if the upcoming run of fixtures play out as expected.

Truth is we are not an attractive prospect for any decent manager. Unless the board are prepared to pay big money, which they clearly don’t want to.

Game changed because of Collum.

Two howlers from Lewis though

Nope. 

deserved second yellow for a shite ineffective glass signing that incidentally should have scored when put clean through. 

re 2nd booking he was too slow and was rightfully sent off for standing on the guy’s ankle/foot. 
 

yes re Lewis. He’s turned to shite as well and that main goal was awful to watch. He came flapping out like a big fairy

Well I wasn't one of the posters who said I'd endure a difficult season or two. But even then I would have endured IF the manager was competent and was actually building something, but Glass isn't. 

From your last paragraph are you in agreement that Glass is not the man?

Ross was appointed in 2019 wasn’t he? Don’t think you can blame Cormack for not bringing him in when he wasn’t even at our club.

 

Bam

[Shinniesta]

Glass needs to go but it's who we bring in to replace him. I can't see Alex Neil coming he's said he has no interest in coming back to manage in Scotland at the moment. The problem is Glass is turning into Ian Cathro mark 2 he looks utterly clueless.

I'd even take Lennon for the rest of this season if it means Glass gets to fuck that's how bad things are.

I accept the second booking, it was a soft yellow. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Jenks did for the first and the boy Fraser just conned a poor ref by squealing like a pig being slaughtered

This I disagree with. With the money we paid McInnes, we should have been more than capable of sourcing a competent and experienced man for the job. 

Regardless of whether Glass fails, McInnes's time was up and I suspect even he knew this deep down. Ending his reign is not the issue, the failure to replace him with the best possible replacement is. We have Cormack's man instead.

We're still paying McInnes....

Keep this guy any longer and it will be relegation come may 2022.

McCrorie is never a CH. Centre halfs don't let the ball bounce in the box as often as he does.

Gallagher is either unfit or just pish. McKenzie hasn't kicked on as well as I thought he might. Bates may come good, but he was fucking awful today.

[Reed or deed]

You lads should get an organised protest outside the stadium on matchday. Get t-shirts printed outlining your dissatisfaction and stuff

Screw that. That would be much worse.

Lennon has not had any success outwith being at Celtic when they were spending more than everyone else.

Yes, we've got a tough month coming up, but I'm not ready to call for the manager yet.

I can see a much better style of play than the last 6 months we had with McInnes.

My main concern is scoring from open play. We're not creative enough. The majority of our goals are coming from set plays

Difference of opinion then.

My perception is that he wins more balls in the air, makes more tackles and makes more blocks than either of Gallagher or Bates

Lennon did a lot better at Hibs than Glass is doing at Aberdeen. I'm not saying I want him I'm saying if the option was him until the end of the season I'd take that over keeping Glass.

The so called style of play is getting us beat every week and losing to the likes of Raith Rovers. 8 games without a win and no game against the Sevco, Celtic or Hibs in that run. It's absolutely horrendous form. And the squad is massively unbalanced Glass has to take some responsibility for that.

Lennon? Stop it. Horrendous manager. Compare the jobs that lennon and the current hibs manager have done with them.

He's a stick-on to do half-time punditry for the Huns game.

He's certainly lightning quick in comparison to either of them (and by default, to both Consi and Devlin too, although they do have an excuse of both being in intensive care atm)

Doc Manhattan is correct though. McCrorie does let the ball bounce too often. 

On balance, I trust both sevco's and Portsmouth's opinions on him. And those were that he isn't a good enough central defender to be anything other than an emergency option.

True re first one. 
 

also true to say if on a booking don’t lunge in and stand on an opposing player’s ankle. Stupid stupid play from a shite signing.
