As I said, for me it was just the latest in a long line of pish from the manager. Never said I was happy just making the point it really wouldn’t have mattered who went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Mills in midfield went as well as we'd have expected. I'd never have even thought of it as a possibility if it hadn't been drip fed on here all week, like we've seen with similar changes in team selection over the last 3 months or so. It's not the most important thing but it is incredibly tiresome to read every single week. We had a midfielder on loan for half a season and he got sent back down the road barely used. We signed some big goon of a centre back from Hull on loan and he's used in midfield despite looking like he'd not played there in his life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Maybe. I'm honestly thinking McIntyre, Yogi, AJ, Rice.... None of them make this much of a c**t of it. Eta meant to quote FK1bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted if he keeps Dunfermline up he'll likely stay there Even if he does, and I'm not convinced he will, you lot are welcome to him. He's a fraud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking about specifically Rice but we need experience to win/get out this league. Why after Miller and McCracken, then Sheerin are we STILL going down the inexperienced route? We need a manager who can get every single ounce from his team. It’s sheer incompetence from the highest level. There is no Gary Deans to blame tonight. Sadly every crap decision by Deans (of which there are many) doesn’t disappear out the door along with him. It’s with us for years and years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them do. If Dunfermline go down Yogi gets sacked and as much as I wouldn't have taken him back at any point in the last decade I'd take take him purely to get players showing a bit of desire because that means as much as ability at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deans appointed Holt. Holt appointed Sheerin. Between them they scattered two and three year contracts like confetti tying the club to honour those contracts in one way or the other. God knows what other commitment Deans and his pals signed up to. I guess the truth won’t really come out until the next AGM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennie has signed 6 players (including Griffiths on a fortune) and got Dowds back after he was rehabbed by Dick Campbell. He also chose to put McKay on the park, Mills in midfield and his only midfield signing Jacobs on the bench. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing players from a league above is a much repeated phrase that sadly means “signing players jettisoned by clubs in the league above because they aren’t good enough or have injuries and who are now trying to find their true level (which might be L1, L2 or lower, but definitely not the Championship.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right but im already get frustrated by it being the first thing that comes out with each board statement. Yes, whatever implications come from the last board have to be dealt with but it seems to be the first line of defence every time now and that won't wash for very long. As a club we need to work with the hand we're dealt and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this point Sheerin was “maybe we can’t get any better” whereas MR is talking about the last game of the season as being a play off match. Wow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Liam Craig for player/manager? Interesting that he was in the stand today (or is that just because his wife is here?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
