Dunning, I don't think he is hiding behind excuses. He actually said that he would take responsibility in the post match interview but if you look at the three set pieces, first one is poor organisation, agreed. Second is someone not getting close to Aitken and Ballantyne caught under it. Third is Longridge having no idea where Jamieson is and then a shocker of an attempt to mark his man by makeshift centre back Wilson. Leaders within the team posted missing. Longridge in particular as you have pointed out yourself. Also there is our first choice striker missing athe target with great chande at 0-0 and then a poor penalty at 1-0. Aside from Inverness game, it was as bad as anything served up prior to Imrie coming in. Unfortunately Murray doesn't have Brian McLean, Alan Lithgow Oisin McEntee or Lewis Strapp to call upon. Not even a Michael Ledger. And definitely no Goze Ugwu, Gavin Reilly or Robbie Muirhead. We are definitely favourites for 10th if there are no new players.

Murray in post match does accept responsibility on coaching and management. But I am glad he is calling out a squad put together by the previous manager, calling out the leadership within the group, given that the experienced players, all but two are former team mates of the previous manager. A manager who signed the current squad and deemed Longridge to be our defensive leader. In a back line including a player who has no experience of senior football, two fullbacks, one of whom many supporters questioned last season, and Dylan Corr. With a forward facing group including someone who had the former manager as his best man, an injury prone striker who we currently are hanging out hat on who was a former team mate and also Michael OHalloran. That's before getting to the sand dancing wide players. It was pretty obvious given the evidence available, what Stennys threat would be. And we can talk about organisation all we want. But watching those highlights, the defending and desire to fkn stop someone heading a first or second ball was non existent And that issue lies at the feet of the players on the pitch. Murray call out the lack of leadership. Imrie rarely called out the supposed leaders in this squad. It tended to be Garrity, King, Wilson, Moffat. All players he gave contracts to this season incidentally. But aye. Let's blame Murray and hound him out.

Bloody marvellous article Russell. Am actually going to make sure my boy reads this. Itallics for desparately and agonising are the cherry on top of the cake!!! ? ?????

Brilliant read as usual Russell!!

Did he not play for them before?

I was just listening to that. Don't normally listen to that podcast. Is a bit of a beamer when someone as shite as Kevin Kyle is ripping into players. Langfield, Broadfoot, Craigen, I heard as well then turned off...

The money sloshing around the lowland and Highland leagues means we are entering a period when the team that finish bottom are likely to get relegated. The fact that Edinburgh City and Cove are the top two whilst Brechin have dropped like a stone, Albion Rovers have spent the last couple of seasons in the same position and Stenhousemuir seem to be on a downward spiral.

Apparently the boundaries have been redrawn for Highland and lowland leagues so brechin would go into the lowland league. That makes no sense to me to be honest.

Didn't know that. He did well.

Jamie McCormick and Thomas Orr playing for BSC against Hibs. Ex Broomhill Amateur and Greenock Juniors player Ross McMillan captains them

He was most comfortable in a back 3 which he appears to be playing in today. Dunno if it shows you the depth of celtic squad but bearing in mind Findlay couldn't get anywhere near celtics first team and Welsh is, surprises me to say the least.

Really?! From where did you here this, mate?

Absolutely. Listening to commentary, I thought the pen was pretty clear cut and actually the ref had a better angle than the camera. Yet Billy Dodds made a suggestion it was a bit soft, then the commentator(liammacleod?) lept on that to say no pen and then kept the controversial pen thing going. Then the Muirhead cardle incident. It was as blatant as could be! If cardle isn't retro done then it is all a pile of pish.

Didn't think it was dodgy. Guy appears to have a wee grab at forrest. Billy Dodds talks nonsense.

😂😂😂😂
