Doesn't help that Shinnie is now sprinting 20 yards past the striker to chase a lost cause. Needs nipped in the bud.

Started off very well, cowardly centre halves now resorting to punts or safe balls instead of anything brave. Took 40 mins for McGrath to pick up the lwb. Cutting us open before that.

Well he is concomitant with the national team.

I'd like to believe Angela White is dishing out blowjobs in the RDS lower concourse pre-match.

Wouldn't be against it.

Still crazy to think Leicester won the league because his son racially abused a Thai hooker on camera.

McInnes v Brown were pretty boring games.

I remember it well. The forums were disappointed. It couldn't have been more of a 'meh' type appointment for me than it was. 24 months later I'd have let him have a go on my wife, guided him in and lit his cigarette for him afterwards.

Let's be honest, we're in a similar situation to where we were when McInnes took over and that's the type of appointment we will make. We're past the point where we are an attractive proposition for any manager who's on the way up. The time to appointment an 'exciting' type was when Glass or Goodwin were being replaced. We're needing someone to come in and do what Derek did in the first couple of years but not be so focused on signing English lower league players.

Exactly.

Folk are saying we are at the "hope he takes it" stage.

Yeah, he waffled a heap of shite. Will be 'engaging' non-stop if we were to go on a winning streak though. No laughing at the back, please.

TBF to the maniacs, I see their point. Both are very active on social media when it's going well. It wouldn't bother me if they never post but can't really have it both ways.

Done well to speak for 15 minutes and say nothing at all.

Rumour is a few have turned us down.

Sounds like Neil has no interest.

Jumping in late, but when Turnbull was at Motherwell and Ferguson at Aberdeen, who did you think would go on to be the better player at this stage? Turnbull to Celtic was the wrong decision, IMO. Said as much at the time.

I'm not claiming to be ITK I just pass on what I get told to some on here.

I don't disagree. FWIW I was told O'Neill. The next day there was the text message going around (and posted on this site) regarding what is going on. Most of what I've said comes from that message and putting 2+2 together. All I was ever told from my 'source' was that we wanted O'Neill now and compensation was the stumbling block. If it's O'Neill then it's a mighty coincidence if it's how it plays out how a message from a couple of weeks ago predicted.

Why does it have to make sense? Haven't you seen us botching several managerial appointments over the past few years

Compensation, allegedly.

Thanks for showing you've more comprehension skills than old Vincent. I didn't say N.I want him off the wage bill. I'm stating they may want him off and are happy for him to leave while they get some amount of compensation. If he chooses to leave for Aberdeen then they likely wouldn't need to make up any difference.

He really should be dragging himself all over the country to see the players he wants to select.

You could play Devil's advocate and look at it the other day. Northern Ireland aren't getting the same results as the current crop of talent aren't there and could look to hire someone for a fraction of that salary.
