So hang on -
Martindale was the brains behind the operation yet things only picked up when he took over. How did that happen? If he was the man in charge anyway then why were they not getting these results before? He made an instant impact when he took over, why the change?
They played horrendous football at the start of the season and now play a much different style to previously. Why the sudden change if he was already in charge?
Martindale was only in a less prominent role because he wouldn’t have passed the fit and proper test - something which Livingston themselves decide and have passed him for. Why did they not do it previously rather than trying to hide him in the shadows?
Doesn’t really add up, especially when Sylar clearly has plenty contacts at the club who say otherwise..Last edited by calumhibee1; 26-01-2021 at 02:20 PM.

Martindale is a fantastic example of how you can turn your life around if given a second opportunity. Righting after wrong is never a bad idea. As for his style of football, I would see past the hoofball jibes and see it as he is getting a team of players to consistently punch above their level. I would have that kind of manager at Easter Road every season.

It shouldn’t even be a discussion. There is no point in prison if someone like him, who is a model for rehabilitation since coming out, doesn’t get a clean slate. The SFA have for once done the right thing.
it seems to be the done thing to dislike every team that isn’t Hibs; but personally I quite like Livvy, despite that misery in 2004 (our fault for letting Stuart Lovell leave). To recover from where they were from ten years ago to where they are now is something to admire. And it sounds like they are trying to be more expansive in their style of play.

Glad he has been deemed fit to continue. As to his style of football it looks at least as good as ours with a squad full of much cheaper to employ players. One of managers main jobs is to get the sum of the parts greater than its individual parts. For me Martindale, at least in his short time as manager, is doing a much better job than our boss currently is. If the rumours are to be believed that he has been pulling the strings for a while then he also has done a very good job over a decent period of time. If Ross leaves or is sacked at the end of the season then I would consider Martindale as a strong candidate.

Nice to see him do well and, if recent form is not just a flash in the pan, maybe a genuine football coaching gem has been unearthed?!?

Someone is a bit touchy. Dunno why you keep mentioning Pepe. Bit of a strange obsession with him.
Again, I'll go with quotes from the chairman, not your mate.

Not an obsession - I just recall posters I have odd encounters with - it's almost like you had an alert set up to notify you everytime someone mentioned Pepe at one point. Constantly trying to convince everyone on here he was a decent player and deriding anyone with an opinion to the contrary because they hadn't watched him enough - it seemed a relevant counterpoint to you attempting to sum up Livi's entire performance history based on Sunday.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Does anyone know why Kenny Miller left? Must have been something as he was not there very long.

Guy should be a role model for those who want to turn their life around. It can be done. He made a mistake. He learned from it and knuckled down.

I think you're being a bit naive to think he made a daft mistake. It wasn't a rush off blood one off error of judgement he made. I'm all for rehabilitation but as someone said where do you draw the line?. He was living the life of crime and lived a very good life from it for quite a while
