If you've read my posts since the LL started I've always stated we've found oor level at aboot 4th to mid table . Disappointing aye but least we've had and are having a go since the start! I thought that's what the pyramid is about. 8th this season if my stats are correct has been oor WORST season so far so aye top 5 is defo doable. I'm willing to bet you top dollar we won't be fighting relegation with your lot though. You should be concerned aboot the calibre of teams that's maybes wanting in the LL without criticising others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different proposition to the past regarding competing at the top end of the table. What would supporters be happy with from the team and what do the committee expect from the team? Wasn't Mark Adams doing a decent job at BSC before they were rotten to him? I'm sure the majority of Marks LL team came from his u20s side. Whether he could be arsed with the commute is another question though but certainly has LL experience?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Seems a bit harsh dispensing with his services just now considering he hasn't even had one full season in charge in his own right. Maybe the old guy with the voice like a foghorn has more clout at the club than the manager has ! I doubt he'll be short of offers and I'd like to see him and his experience back in the game soon.

A former grade one fifa referee once told me aboot the dogs abuse he used to take from a certain person at Ferguson Park every time but he said 9 times oot of 10 the man with the clout yous are referring to was right with his outbursts.

Token Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Fair enough Magoo, I was just of the opinion he should be judged on his own merits e.g given a full season at least and not be judged with the mess he inherited after Hislop left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does own merits mean you are committed to the job? Fair enough if you are working but at this level I think a manager needs to be there every week. Talking of every week I wouldn't mind knowing how many players WW used last season because there were new faces trialing nearly every week. Some decent players have left the club over the last 2 seasons? Somehow I don't think it's all about big bad Peter behind the scenes and I'm sure we'll never find oot because what goes on within any club should stay within any club and not aired especially on a public forum.

Nae disrespect to the lad but every time I watched them he just stood there erse against the perimeter fence wi arms folded as if he could nae be arsed. Just nae motivation imo.

Token Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Look, you guys are obviously closer to the club than me and I'm not here to antagonise anyone. I am just saying that although it's hardly earth shattering news, I feel it is a wee bit harsh binning him without giving him a chance to prove himself over the next season in sole charge. Best of luck for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the position we were probably in at the time yes you'd most likely be looking at a top 4 finish but to be 13th on the last day of the season was grim reading. You can't blame a committee for that bizarre slump in form..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
