There's articles saying he was on tens of thousands a week in the old I-League in India. These articles are very wrong. He made a decent living for sure but nowhere near what people think.

Walsh definitely benefits from being homegrown at Celtic, that helped him play in Europe a bunch, but yeah, Motherwell is far closer to his level. I'd call him an underachiever, frankly. It was clear even though he wouldn't run the length of himself that he was an excellent player, but he chose not to apply himself and ended up with a far shorter and less lucrative career than he'd otherwise have managed.

Ross MacIver is playing and occasionally scoring in the top flight, which I didn't see coming. I'm not going to call Jack Iredale an overachiever because he looks the part at his high level, but it's bizarre how he didn't make the A-League breakthrough in Australia, came to Morton and ended up papped out on loan to the seaside leagues, before showing what he could do.

After the St. Johnstone debacle my minimum "acceptable" was 5 points from the next 3 games, with 7 as achievable too. Can't be losing at Ross County and if we're avoiding a relegation scrap then Arbroath at home is your three points.

Not a chance Tidser could hack it at a full time club. Kelty was fine, low expectations, decent squad. Any team with meaningful stakes or fans that don't blink one eye at a time just put too much pressure on him. Nice enough guy but never a pro manager.

Call me old fashioned but hospitality should be for gentlemen.

What's the sketch with Hart? If Dougie doesn't think he can improve on Corr, why's he here?

I am saddened beyond words by what's happening, the decline of his managerial stock. I respect Dougie so much but he's being so so stubborn we're seriously having to think about letting him go. If I was in charge I'd be sitting him down after this and saying, look, it's not working right now - what's the actual plan? Can you execute it in the next three games and get six points? If not we'd need to part ways. I honestly feel a little sick even typing that because he's been so good for us, but that's the stage we're at.

Is anyone able in about 50 words to pick the strongest 11 from our bloated Squad and explain how they are supposed to play? Previous Imrie squads have had an identity about them and a simple remit to press and play aggressively and use a mobile but strong forward to buy time in the final third. Now we have a shipping container full of crap wingers, two guys towing caravans, defenders being asked to play it out from the back when they can barely trap a football, and most tragically of all Wilson, whose legs have totally gone. I'm not sure what the best way forward is but I'm more worried that Dougie doesn't either. And I'll also say that while we definitely have been screwed by the officials this season, if it wasn't for Storer our league position would look quite different. And when the keeper is a nailed-on POTY that is always a bad sign.

That too but he thought he was fouled, picked up the ball, and of course conceded a penalty because the whistle hadn't gone because he wasn't fouled. Storer saved it because obviously that's what he does but we conceded right away after that. Mistakes in play are just part of the game but failing to play to the whistle in such dramatic fashion is really just a basic failure to do your job and you don't deserve to get paid for it.

I don't think I'm overreacting - Delaney needs to be fined or suspended for that.

Storer is POTY already.

This is normally when I say I'd have taken a draw at kick off but I don't even think that's true. We have a large and not exactly bargain basement squad this season and we're on the back foot so often.

To be perfectly honest I wanted a pound of flesh due to the transfer fuck-up and it still leaves a sour taste that the culprits basically 'got away with it'. However, if I swallow my pride a little, Bonar is correct that endless in-fighting is just a waste. As long as he's holding people to account going forward and ensuring I can live with that.

JET plays 7 (seven) minutes as AFC Totton SWORD Weston-Super-Mare 3-1 in the National League South. Level found.
