Good for you.

Totally agree! We looked more threatening when Formica, Goodwillie and Petrovic came on.

Givet and Samba was a good partnership, shame we don't have a better LB so Olsson can play further up field.

I don't think anyone else has given up hope either. It is very early days and there is much to play for.

However, those that understand football realised that our first three games were amongst the easier looking fixtures of the first 10 or so. Therefore, those that understand football, expected the club and players to be extremely well prepared for the start of the season, having had three months to get ready. However, those that do not understand football are in charge and for whatever reason we arrived so undercooked and underprepared at the start of the season in most areas that we now find ourselves playing catch-up and being further hindered when a bit of bad luck or poor play goes against us.

A wise old sage once said it is better to be lucky than good. Kean is neither.

Always puzzled me why people think its so great that players are young, isn't it better to have players in their prime?

^^^^^I appreciate some of our away games look easier and more attractive. But our away form has been so bad, for so long, that even the easier looking games will be very tough.

And worse of all following a bad start, these teams will be targeting and coming for us now expecting to win.

Mmmmm. Sums up how I feel also.

There was no booing near me at half-time on the BE. There were a few at the end, the usual suspects who boo everything all game.

We have an amazing, loyal and knowledgable crowd on the whole. A bit too quiet for my liking, but that may be the effect of modern stadia rather than our fans in particular. I miss the atmosphere of years gone by on the BE.

well all i know is we are allloyal and to the death rovers fans .. we will have worse days than today im sure of it, but the good times will come

The half time booing was directed at Lee Mason rather than at the players / Kean.

I think most fans would agree that the squad has undoubted talent, perhaps more so than in previous seasons. The question is whether Kean has the nous and ability to ensure that talent transmits into results. So far that clearly hasn't happened and I can understand why many fans want Kean out as his record since January is very poor. Because of the rebuilding that has happened over the summer I am prepared to give Kean more time to prove he has what it takes to get the best out of his side. Hopefully he and the team can turn things round quickly.

Why do women have periods?

Because they deserve them?


My wife asked me to give her 12 inches and make her bleed, I stuck it in 3 times and punched her in the nose!
