Guest Nairn Saint Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Don't know about John Brown being a bigot, but he looks the sort ... he spun round and asked what level of football I played... QUOTE] Brown's level was about knee height! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I just like the way he's going about things, I'm giving him my 100% backing. Go on Deckers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotpages Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 It's glass half-full or half-empty though. I prefer to look at it as we've only lost two out of our nineteen competitive matches. Aye, well that's why Saints are in trouble - acceptance of draws. If you wanted to take it further a team could have gone undefeated all last season with 36 draws, 36 points. Airdrie went down with 40 points Ross County with 37. Draws are pish, winning is what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Aye, well that's why Saints are in trouble - acceptance of draws. If you wanted to take it further a team could have gone undefeated all last season with 36 draws, 36 points. Airdrie went down with 40 points Ross County with 37. Draws are pish, winning is what it's all about. Of course we've had too many draws and DMcI may have had to re-assess his initial observation that we're only a few players short but when we draw games and our three losses have all been by one goal, it does show we aren't all that far away from turning things around. There would be a far bigger concern if we were losing games by two or three goals, like all the sides below us in the league are. People are bemoaning the fact the bond between the players and fans seems to have evaporated but even last season the real passion emanated from just two players, the club captain and the midfield talisman. Hamilton didn't make many changes over the summer but they got their rock at the back (McLaughlin) back from injury and Alex Neil too has been injury-free and back to form. I genuinely believe if we'd had James and Hardie for the whole season, a lot of those draws would have been turned into wins. That's not excusing the poor win record but when we have everyone available, as we hopefully will next month, added to a few astute signings from the manager, we'll pick up. It'll be too late for this season barring a miracle but he's talking about getting the guys he wants to retain signed up now so hopefully we won't have the same situation as last summer, where we were hampered by not knowing what division we were going to be in. If Dundee and Accies level peg it until April, I'd suggest the loser will suffer like we've done this season as both sides will lose players if they fail to get promoted and in Dundee's case, their budget will be cut. Long posts are a bugger, so I won't write any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUZZ Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 an interesting look back at when derek was appointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 It could have been worse so lets give the guy a chance Be it on Geoffs head.I just hope to god Del gets a good start because if 5 or 6 games down the line we aint doing the business he,s gonna start getting slaughtered.We know there are a few out there who will get stuck into him after 1 or 2 games if we're pish, but I believe that the majority of fans whilst not exactly salivating at the appointment will give the new gaffer there full backing.First line up will be intresting??? SO good luck Derek, good luck Geoff and and lets hope they take us to Infinity ....And Beyond Come on you Saints.... What I said back then....

Dave H Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 well lets see if he is indeed a first division manager now. Terrible start to the season, failure to secure a left back is also highly worrying. team confidence must be rock bottom after 4 league games, i dont think he knows his best team as yet so will be character building for a manager to say the least to get some positive results. I remember laughing at Dunfermline last season with their not so impressive start. (Kenny was given to December) I guess we are now the team being laughed at now, and the finger points at mciness. Only he can turn it around, however it is only natural to doubt whether he has the talent too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I think the players need to take responsibility as well though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I think the players need to take responsibility as well though!! of course they do, but it is the manager who is ultimately responsible, thats why he has that position and wage. manager also picks the team, or so i am led to believe.

soccer saints Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 It must be soul destroying for a manager ... any manager... to watch a side he has assembled play as poorly as Saints have done since the season began. I'd like to think Derek is hurting ... and the players are hurting enough to want to put things right as quickly as possible . They should be fired up - really fired up to make amends for this awful performance and I definitely expect to see a huge improvement in attitude and desire as well as performance in the next few matches........ The next 4 or 5 games are now absolutely crucial as far as promotion is concerned so lets get behind the manager and the team and hope they can come back out in our next game with all guns blazing !
