    Strawman got a reaction from blueheaven in Time for Levein to go   
    Craig Levein has a strange interview style,  I think most of them are done very tongue in cheek and I think he thinks hes quite funny.
    He clearly likes both of these players and in his head, him taking the piss out of them like that by claiming they are in the huff with him is supposed to show that.
    Once the quote is written down though it just looks strange. 
    The problem is when your in a position like we are, fans want him to be serious, theres a time for managers trying to be funny but when youve a team struggling to score a goal, it just doesnt work.

    Just look at who put the majority of it together.
    A lesson to learn moving forward is to ensure a manager has the charisma required to assess the personality of potential signings.

    Strawman got a reaction from blueheaven in Aberdeen V St.Johnstone - Wednesday 26th February   
    I haven’t said he did anything “deliberately”, he clearly likes Sidibeh, why would he try to hurt the lad.
    Doesn’t change the fact that he’s brand new to full time football, it was obvious he was tired, the management made the decision to leave him on when we had 3 substitutes still we could have still used. 
     
    I m not suggesting any deliberate intent, I think it was a poor decision and it played a part in the player collapsing. 
     
    Your correct though, that is speculation on my part, there could be any number of other reasons why it happened.

    Why was Keltjens dropped yesterday? Why was Gallacher at right wing-back? Why are we even persisting with a wing-back system in the first place when we don't have any wing-backs in our squad? Why are inferior players being picked ahead of Sprangler and May? Why did we waste our precious budget on signing an unneeded player like Connor Smith? Why do we keep signing strikers for a system that seems entirely designed to keep the ball away from them? Why does Max keep being brought onto the pitch in situations he's completely unequipped to make any impact in? Why did we send Kane and Brown out on loan when they'd probably have had roles to play in the team right now? Why have we put a Highland League manager in charge of training? Why did we give Levein a three-year contract when he'd done nothing to earn it? Why have we made three absolutely rotten managerial appointments on the trot? Why couldn't we have just asked Tommy Wright to stay so that everything would have been OK and none of this f**king nightmare would have happened?
    Absolutely sick of the whole lot of them and I've never, ever felt more disillusioned with this half-arsed mess of a club than I do right now. I can only pray that the prospective new owners were watching very closely and that their first point of business will be to replace Levein and Kirk as an urgent priority.

    You'll probably have to use the ticket office.
    Assume the system only accepts 1 ticket being added, so despite the U12 one being free, itll be rejected as its seen as 2 tickets being added rather than 1.

    So was this question the last asked in what was submitted ?
    In which case a genuine mistake , surely if it was in the middle of other questions then it’s been edited to exclude.

    I’m actually suprised the club hasn’t said anything about this ( unless they have and I’ve missed it )
    The incident at Dunfermline a couple weeks ago, Dunfermline made a statement within 24 hours.
    In this case , people have been hurt, ok the lad “ joking “ didn’t throw the bottles but has to accept a big part in it. Surely can have no complaints if a ban or worse comes his way.

    Perhaps this is a stupid question but who is "our" and "we" referring to here?
    Very confusing wording on the official site as it talks about convincing the club to do something, but it seems to be the club itself that has written it. If the club wants to do it, why don't they just do it?

    This makes no sense to me, leaves us with no home games over the festive period and 4 away games in a row.
    I already thought the holiday fixtures were poor but now no home game at all.
    Maybe I’m wrong but do we not get better crowds at these games, people that live elsewhere coming home for Xmas etc

    If that’s the case and Geoff phoned him on Tuesday, what was the point of the “he came to see young Max “ story when clearly he didn’t, he came because Geoff phoned him the night before.
    I agree, think he could be a good appointment but had two years plus of managers talking bollocks.

    It’s not impossible but getting up the pyramid in Scottish football is hard no matter how much money you spend.
    Even getting into the Lowland Leagues is hard, never mind promoted from it.
    Take Jeanfield Swifts as an example, I think a team that could easily hold their own in the Lowland league, to get there though, winning the East of Scotland Premier League isn’t enough, they then have to play off against the league winners of the West of Scotland League and South of Scotland League. There is only one team relegated from the Lowland league.
    Say they do that, then winning the Lowland league isn’t enough, they than have to play off against the winners of the Highland league and win that before the team that finishes bottom of 3rd Div still gets a chance to save themselves.
    There needs to be more promotion / relegation to allow the best teams to rise.
