Boom!
“Surprise - Not a surprise” as one of the dudes on entertainment in Kos said.
I'm not surprised - I think they were only a couple of points better off than us since the start of 2022 they were very fortunate to qualify for Europe.
Losing to an Irish side was always likely to be the final straw.
Can't see past Callum Davidson next. I think he would have been sacked last season if it wasn't for his cup double the season before
Agreed. Tomorrow is a test for me - we really need to win this one as I can only see St Johnstone battling relegation this year.Quote:

Robinson or Davidson next
Tomorrow is massive. Livi away sandwiched in between hearts and huns at home so we need to get 3 points on the board tomorrow.
I think St Johnstone will be boosted by Drey Wright finding some confidence & consistency and Jamie Murphy hardly missing a game through injury. You just know that those two and Melker Hallberg will have blinders tomorrow!Quote:

Nothing against Davidson, he's a likable guy.
Hope we shorten his odds dramatically tomorrow with a good pumping of the Saints.
Think Johnson might be under severe pressure by September if things start bad. Think Davidson may prove doubters wrong at st.j.
Let us hope that neilson is next a lot of hearts fans have never forgiven him for hibs winning the scottish cup
He's been given a new contract today.Quote:

I have to say, i haven't heard anything from LJ that convinces me has a structured plan. Early days but he still needs to do a bit of a selling job to the fans in my opinion.Quote:

Many more performances like this and he will get himself the sack. What a dire, lacklustre, insipid display - in a derby that is supposed to mean something. Hearts have absolutely coasted this game.Quote:

Embarrassing folk saying Johnson. Did nobody see the absolute **** show he took over? Instant success or you're out it seems.
i'm willing to give LJ a few more games
:)
Only thing Boyle’s goal changes is my mood for the day. That midfield is not good enough and if Johnson doesn’t see it, he won’t last long.Quote:

There’s no doubt we are a long way off from firing on all cylinders. Boyle’s late equaliser will ensure that the performance won’t be as deeply scrutinised as it would have been done in defeat. Similar to last week at Perth pretty much - the late winner masking what wasn’t a great showing.
As the team gels and the manager finds his preferred starting 11 then I’m sure we will see improvement. We’ve picked up 4 points in two games, an away win against a team we have struggled against and an Edinburgh derby, despite not being by at our best.
There will be a feel good factor within the squad and fans after that last gasp equaliser and the foundations are there to have a good season. Looking forward to seeing it hopefully start to click in the coming weeks.
At least give the manager a chance, but yes the midfield does need improving. I thought Henderson was poor today which surprised me as he has been one of our best players. We need a few games to gell then we can start asking questions
Steven Hammell appointed at Motherwell.
Wasn't too long ago that he ended up being the final straw for Collins, who resigned after Petrie wouldn't sanction a transfer for him after we took in millions from Murphy and Motherwell signed him instead.
Goodwin or Neilson
Neilson after a series of humpings in the UEFA ConferenceQuote:

Surprising you think that. His interviews after he was announced were very in depth about his plan.Quote:

As for a ‘selling job’ - bang on. I mean he’s hardly had anything to say for himself since he arrived so don’t think he cares what the fans think.
Or something like that…
Back in the real world I’m thinking Goodwin might be under pressure very quickly if he goes on a mini run of one or two poor results but reckon Robinson will be the first to get his jotters.
Jack Ross needs to get their league season going quickly. This could be a cricket score and honeymoon period well and truly over.
Tonight is horrendous.thats 4-0Quote:

Steven Thompson first question at half time, is the tie to over.
Then ten minutes later saying it’s embarrassing for United
What one is it?
Can’t stand the bbc - used to like mikey Stewart but going off him now, he clearly has an issue with hibs since we told Ross to do one.
Bbc overall, jambo - sevco love in
UTD have enjoyed relative defensive stability over the past couple of years back in the SPL with an organised 5 man defence. Despite being toothless upfront and weak in midfield the 5 man defence kept them reasonably competitive. Jack Ross arrives, defence goes to a back 4 and it all starts to unravel - we are well shot of this tactical genius no doubt about it.
That's Filipino logic. If you had not come to this country, I would not have driven into your car. Average IQ 15 points below the UK and learning deprivation. That's the Philippines not the Sportsound pundits.Quote:

His last spell was gain promotion back to the top flight and then have a good season and finish 3rd.
The next season the fans starting to turn against him, lost a 2-0 lead and then the reply to us and then eventually was sacked.
A bad run in Europe, mixed in with a few defeats in the league before the return league game at tynie.
A long wait till January 2023 though.
The 2-0 lead loss and money spinning replay was during their first season back in the top flight, the fans were turning on him before they’d even finished third. The biggest challenge he’ll face is managing 2 games per week. For the next 11 weeks they’ll be playing 20 games (assuming they progress in the LC) compared to our 10. That’s a lot of games and even the bigger teams with large squads struggle with the Thursday - Sunday schedule.Quote:

Apparently Tony Watt called Jack Ross ‘ASOS Ancelotti’ after the game yesterday which tickled me a great deal
I’m sure it’s probably a piss take but would be funny if he actually did :greengrinQuote:
