do you think we would be any better if noble was our coach personaly i think we would hes done a great job for them. both teams got promoted together weve just stayed the same but theyve improved a lot this year we should not be getting hammered by them! i would like to know tho how they can afford all the new players and 3 decent coaches that they have!

So glad I didnt go to the game, really wanted to go but funds were abit tight. When I saw the teamsheet I thought great, Adamson and Ratchford both need game time. Fwiw I dont blame Mcrae and would not blame him at all, it simply comes down to the players cba listening to him, they know hes too soft to bollok any of them. I think we do need a new coach, doesnt need to be a master tacticion, just someone who is a good motivator like Karl Harrison was

I wasn't expecting us to win, but I was certainly expecting the team to show a little bit of interest and enthusiasm, rather than seemingly accepting that the game is over after only twenty minutes.

Apart from that, just getting the basics right would be a start. Like tackling. One up, one down, wrap the ball up. The amount of offloads Crusaders managed yesterday beggared belief.

Oh aye, a few of us were sat right by Simms and McRae. I must admit, my respect for Simms has gone up after yesterday, he looked like he gave a sh*t and generally acted in that way. McRae? Nothing. Just the occasional drop of the head before scribbling notes. And as for not knowing what went wrong... Sorry, but with pretty much an identical viewpoint of the game as him, I could tell him exactly where we went wrong.

Meh. I'm beyond getting wound up about it now. There's clearly no point.

Do coaches of other clubs throw themselves around the dugout, or do they just sit there making notes too?

John Kear plays the piano.

Funnily enough, I have noticed other coaches actually getting a little animated and showing even a slight reaction to what happens on the pitch, rather than sitting there looking bored and disinterested.
