    Maybe you should stick to posting your opinions and not conforming? What does being cosy with Strachan have to do with anything?

    You've clearly set your stall out as being pro-WGS and you aren't going to change your mind. As I already said the garden was rosey in the middle of the season, and this is the end, where it * matters. Theres no trophy for having a 13 game winning streak or extra points because we were 7 clear a few months ago.

    We should never have been in the position we were this afternoon because we should of strengthened in January. If there was money available then it's Strachans fault. If there wasnt money available you have to ask why, making it the boards fault.

    People can call me "anti-WGS" all they want - I am. He is nothing more than a spineless yes man. His sniggering and joking around today in that interview made me sick.

    No there isn't, I read every one of them. When we were 7 points clear our squad was good enough to win the Champions League.

    I am happy enough, when we win 4 in a row so will you be.

    what in the * are you talking about. MON's team was not a long ball one. it was direct. all this * about passing gets up my backside. it's awful to watch.

    the passing game is great to watch when it is done properly, not the way we * fail with it.

    I've not set any stalls out I call things as I see them so please don't try and label me.

    His choice of captain is poor, his continual decision to play kickers in midfield when we play Rangers or Dundee United * me off and removing your best centre half to play him in midfield is stupid.

    Are those the opinions of someone blinded by his decision to stick his pro or anti Strachan opinion to the mast?

    how are we fickle. i haven't been happy for a long time. 3 seasons now to be honest.

    you'll always get it after a match. it gives fans a chance to vent their feelings. after a poor result we're at our most annoyed.

    It's the same old story from people like you.

    If you complain when we're up - we're ungrateful.
    If you complain when we're down - "why didn't you complain before?"

    In other words - emotional and psychological tactics so no-one complains at all. You would do well on the board mate.

    The fact is - many people haven't been happy at all for a long time and many people HAVE said it over the course of not just this season, but last season too.

    You've just chosen to ignore it.

    No they aren't, but I still dont understand why your refusing to criticise today. Who, in your opinion, is to blame for the failure this season? (assuming Dundee United dont cause an upset, which I dont believe they will)

    rangers are more deserving of it than us. we should be in a lot stronger position. rangers are * and look like winning the league. for them that's great.

    84 points is an absolute disgrace in my opinion.

    MON played long ball, he always had as many big men in the team as he could. Where was the flair player in his team. Remember that he chose to put Lubo on the bench most of the time. I'd rather watch players like Aiden, Sean and Naka than the power of Thommo, Stan and Didier.

    I like the passing game. Maybe i'm a purist but i don't need to see the ball humped goalwards all the time. I'd rather watch us probe and test a team with our passing. We always have a chance while we have the ball. But your right, an awful lot of us don't like taking time over crafting chances.

    People like me? :87:

    Have an opinion based on fact and not a knee-* reaction to a poor result then come back to me. In the meantime do not try and label me when you don't have a clue who I am.

    I criticise with a clear head and not when I'm * off about a poor result. I do that intentionally.

    If we don't win the league then it's our own fault and THEN I'll start threads slating all and sundry.

    i will be delighted to win the league. if we do i'll enjoy it and not post negatively for a few days, but i'll certainly be criticising again after that.

    go through my past posts, you'll see that i have been unhappy for a long time.

    "Financial prosper" means nothing to me as it has nothing to do with investment in the team.

    "Relative success" is nothing to do with how good we are, or how good we should be - it has everything to do with looking at the Huns and making sure we are slightly better than they are.

    The only fickle people here are people like you - you've had the wool pulled over your eyes but other people think we should be a whole lot better.

    And this has nothing to do with "one bad result" - it's every bad result coming to a head.

    I think i know my own opinion better than you, Loads of people on here havnt been happy for the last ouple of years, theres always threads on the boards/wgs signings thats nothing new, your just in denial because you've constantly backed the board and strachan and you cant admit that they let you and everyone else down

    There's nothing wrong with being upset about the product we're being served. I doubt you'll find many disagreeing with the fact we deserve better.

    To slate the scouting network when we draw with Hibs because it takes the league down to the last day isn't really productive though is it?
