Good post. When I read that he said this though, I thought it was pretty accurate. I defy anyone to read negative into this wee gem... “If you want to improve your team, you have to look at what is lacking and sort it out."

Pretty sure it was 4-1, possibly 3-1. Comfortable win anyway.

Suicide Blonde on Virgin just now. Sorry but that is a great track. He got hung up about a wannabe posh English tart but you can't blame him. Aussies inhabit a country the size of Europe, with a population of only 3 times Scotland, so there's bound to be "acceptance" issues.

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM... why don't you go back to kkk? No. You're right. I agree. There are more than two sides to schizophrenia, neither of which are treatable with drugs.

Formation will depend on what style JC will prefer next year.

Neale Cooper: "Aye. I mean Fergie showed me a picture of Stielike before the final and I didn't think 'world class player', which he was. I thought, 'he looks like Basil Fawlty'." For those with Gnat attention spans, you really don't want to miss this little gem.

Lee Wilkie was prone to howlers at Dumpdee, as much as Zander was before this season, and that was before his horrific injury. Damaged goods I fear.

His thighs could choke a whale. He's one strong bastard. Not slight at all.

I assure you that my intrigue is now as dead as John Lennon.

Go on. You have my intrigue. Spit it oot, min...

Do you think it is? I don't see it. The couple of posts in particular by Orlando and kelt, seem to me to be articulate expressions of opinion. I've learned something from a number of the posts above, although my original post was asking another question entirely. You might have an aversion to debate, but I don't think the calibre of posters in here would allow it to degenerate into the pisch that punctuates other sites. Instead of dwelling in the negative, and making zero worthwhile contribution yourself, just skip this thread, and let it die it's natural death. It's not that difficult is it? You do have the power of decision making? If you struggle to read posts of over 20 words, find yourself a suitable forum.

If only the distinction was a clear demarcation. Unfortunately the ambition of the board, the investment of funds being made available to the "football side of the business" dictate how far the team can go. This is where the two are inevitably intertwined.

At the start of next season, if you offered any right minded and ambitious manager the following, I think they would all take it: - "How about getting to every final, and having a fixture congestion as a result"? What else can they say? "Well actually, lets get knocked out of this one so it doesn't happen". Get fucking on with it.

Can't argue with your points, but similarly, I've heard shite being spoken about how much money Milne has put in to the club, without seeing the evidence. He paid significantly less for his shares per share than he asked us to pay, raising millions for him to fucking squander.

Spot on too. Where's the DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM sayers? The ones that have their heads in the sand, or have the monopoly on positive thinking?

Was she was dead when she made the porno? Link please...

Marvellous stuff. Never heard that albatross reference before. Like it, and agree with his point.

Aye but kebabs in his culture is meat and drink to him. Feared the worst when I opened this thread, as so many others on other forums have written him off, without ever having seen him play more than half a dozen times. He was immensely strong in the 1-1 v. Celtic, and totally dominated the younger Sno. Slow Sno. His Madrid performance, on the telly anyway, was fantastic. He's been fit and available for more games than he's been picked however, and should have been included more just to give some of JC's favourites a kick up the arse and a week on the bench. Thats what good managers do.

Ian D ran the club with zero debt, ever. The building of the RDS put us in the red for the first time, to the tune of £2m. The debt that SM guarantees is the one he built.

1. Can't agree with yourself? Hmmm. Swore you wrote the club was in decline today. Oh you did. 2. I agree with you here, Fat shaft, in that CA was a good steady ship-keeper. Can not see Tango and Miller taking us forward though. 3. No. After Porterfield, the club was playing magnificent football and but for Smiffy's asurd team selection at Ibrox, when it really mattered, deserved to win the league. 4. Agree that Ian was not cut out for it, but Milne starves this club of ambition, and has been openly hostile to shareholders, and employed Miller as a stooge. He took this club into debt and it escalated pretty quickly under him, whilst his own personal net worth accelerated skywards. So if you said the club was in decline this morning, you're now saying we're on the up under Calderwood. You could be right. I don't agree, but time will tell.

To be fair to LS, he is adept in throwing in spanners to test the water. Fat man believes that Milne is going to give us a bunch of cash when he retires.

A couple of staunch Milne supporters have just said that the club has been in decline ever since Anderson died. I can't argue with that. Just wondering why they, and others, feel that AFC plc is in decline?

I think everyone would have seen my Pulp Fitba from January by now, wherein my reasons are contained. Just wondered how vociferous defenders of our wonderful Milne can say the club is in decline, when staunchly defending the man in charge whenever anyone dares to question his motives and his record. My opinions have been exhaustively documented and I've dealt with the abuse from the ostriches many times. Knock yersel oot. It's not too difficult is it?

You say we're in decline but do not offer any reasons for the decline? EDIT: Sorry TF. Thought it was one of the two who had asked - LondonS or Fat Shaft.

Not wearing underpants is a deviation. This was just a minor deviation. One sentence answer would do it.
