Thing is from what I have heard from a mate who is an agent Thelin had no part in discussions for players. Everything was carried out with DOF and head of recruitment. Not having coach in place in this system should not prevent recruitment occurring.

From his statement after the Leeds game yesterday think it was pretty much inevitable that this was coming.

If we are following the process Pfannenstiel will already have a list of coaches that can come in and mean minimum disruption to the supposed system we are implementing so this should be a relatively quick process. Only delays will be if the preferred candidate is currently employed and his current club do not want to let him go.

Cameroon book their place in quarters against Morocco following 2-1 win over South Africa. Entertaining game with Cameroon almost chucking away a 2-0 lead at the end.

Morocco pushed all the way by Tanzania before a goal keeping error (sound familiar) handed Morocco a 1-0 win.

That player has been injured since November so wonder if that is why it’s gone quiet.

Meant to say player is allegedly Luke Graham at Dundee.

Suggestion is Spurs have interest from English teams and chance of game time. Heard a yesterday we are in for a centre back but up against English team.

Being reported Dorrington is away back to Spurs.

Yeah would agree on Keskinen one of our better players in last few games. Gyamfi looks like he has no idea how to play left back/left wing back. Constantly out of position against Hibs. Definitely looks like a project player rather than a first team ready. I think we need a left back in who is ready to play now.

If someone just looks at stats 6 goals in 23 matches for a winger might be enough to get a team needing goals to bid.

Trump now talking about running Venezuela on an interim basis and “helping” open up their vast oil fields. Guaranteed these rights are handed out to Trumps friends in the U.S. by whichever puppet he instals. Wonder when Maduro gets Epsteined. At least we know what Trump was getting from Putin for selling out Ukraine.

Senegal 3-1 winners over Sudan in early game. Mali beat Tunisia on penalties in second game. Mali down to 10 from half way through the first half. Tunisia looked liked they had won it in last minute of normal time only for Mali to be awarded a soft penalty (a recurring theme in AFCON this year) in 6th minute of injury time to make it 1-1 and take it to extra time. No goals in extra time and on to penalties which Mali managed to win 3-2 by missing less.

Almeda and Mowbray were both in place for summer window. They should also be in firing line.

That was awful beaten by a piss poor Falkirk team. We were lacking all over the field. So many players miles off it. Some playing poorly but others because they are nowhere near the required standard. Switching to 4 at the back didn’t produce the results we were all hoping. Thelin chucking some of players under bus does make me think it’s a question of time before he walks or is fired. One thing I would say is the recruitment team should be sharing the blame for this with Thelin. They have brought in a number of players over the summer who are clearly not good enough and if/when Thelin goes they should go with him.

Fucking freezing in the Capital but no snow. Falkirk supposed to be similar.

I suspect blinlemon is referring to the fact there have been regular protests outside a hotel in Falkirk by concerned locals/racist cunts for a number of months now. Seem to be a particularly vile bunch from the photos on line although from the number of Hun tops in the photographs I doubt many of these knuckle dragging fucknuggets will be at game on Saturday.

I thought Armstrong has been poor last couple of games and having Marshall back would allow us to maybe rest him but think you might be right that it is unlikely we will go with two 19 year olds in midfield. I am not sure Kjartensson fits being in a two in midfield as he lacks pace. As has been discussed already looks to me like he might be more suited to a deep lying role in front of a back 4.

24 hours and no signings. Can we panic yet. Joking aside thought we might have at least recalled Marshall from Arbroath at start of window.

And didn’t get one as finished 0-0. Enjoyable watch though.

Sunderland giving as good as they get against Manchester City. End to end game. All that’s missing is a goal.
