ANEWHOPE Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Would Maybury be the likely successor? What about James McDonaugh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieBairn Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I would definitely keep Craigen, in fact first name on the team sheet. Get him in the hole behind the strikers. Best shot in the team bar none. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieBairn Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Proved his worth in the last 2 games but he needs to continue it. In the last two fixtures he has been encouraged to come inside and interchange with McKee. They have a good understanding so I'd be inclined to keep both as our central midfield partnership next season. Craigen isn't a right mid/winger and is wasted out there. We need to find a decent RB and RM during the summer and asap before every other club snaps them while Houston is still fannying about! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I suppose that the only consolation of last night's capitulation is that we won't have to play in the Premiership next season! Fucking horrible league where shitfest 0-0 draws away to the likes of Motherwell or Kilmarnock would be seen as good results. I won't miss the abuse that we take at Ibrox (in particular) or Parkhead either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reeks of no getting invited to a party "Aye I didni want to go anyway, that Brenda is an arsehole along wi her dug." The Premiership is exactly where we should want to be. Higher standard of football with bigger and better atmospheres. I've been following the side for 24 years and have never experienced the 'abuse' at Parkhead or Ibrox and I'd much rather battling for draws against Motherwell/Kilmarnock rather than away to Dumbarton/Brechin next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Great to welcome you all back after you were looking like heading to the top division for an hour last night. Disappointed to be losing our proper derby so we can take some solace in retaining the Fauxkirk Derby instead.Looking forward to heading to your patch a couple of times next season where we can avenge our poorest performances of last season. I hope your pricing remains the same as reluctantly have to praise your board on that. We can also resume hostilities and take care of unfinished business at East End. A fixture that is already a must in next year's calendar. Admit it, you didn't fancy the top division anyway?Hope Hamilton drop as well as we have similar unfinished business with them.See you next season and "keep dancing". x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be aiming to get to the Premier as we obviously should be looking to win every game that we contest. I'm looking for some crumb of comfort to make up for my disappointment last night and the reality is that, had we been promoted, we'd have probably struggled to compete next season. On the whole, I haven't particularly enjoyed the football that I've seen in the Premier as it usually does turn into a shitfest and I think that would be even more likely with Houstie's cautionary approach. I'm honestly amazed that you haven't seen any abuse, at Ibrox in particular, and I don't just mean from the 'fans'! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly cannot think of a single time when I went to Ibrox and did not get abuse..whether that's from supporters or stewards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 New 1 year deal for Kerr agreed apparently Hope this isn't true. Lot of time for Mark Kerr and some of the criticism he has been singled out for this season has been a tad harsh, but we've got to be looking to the future. A younger, more dynamic midfield that can actually last 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Agree with Trump. Kerr was very good in spells over both legs but his time is up I feel. Baird is going to get another contract isn't he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
