Aye. And the whores, the rogues, and the comic singers will be next.... (In reverse order, naturally.)

Sad to see the old professions die out.

No. I too was a fan but now @Uilleam has got me thinking. And worried. Think he's dead right about the group stages in Europe.

It seems I stand alone in my admiration for Martin...

Don't think cow pie is on the menu at Auchenhowie!

Should that not be 'Mk II'? Honestly, the standards in this country...

.....and will recruit some hard, ugly, cu nts, who can run all day. (Controlling a ball, etc. not an optional extra, mind.)

Always liked Ole...

Your pace, clearly, is the result of your years as a bookie's runner. Glad to hear you have retained it.

Martin is a vegan soy boy. We need a desperate Dan type who can consume whole cows.

Can't see Dessers playing at speed I'm as quick as him

So, what would Mr Russell Martin actually bring to the table? As far as I can see, he is a candidate who is comfortable with a DoF model, and will be 'happy' coaching and selecting the First XI. He has a plan A, which he refuses to change, even when errant passes, and aggressive pressing by the opposition, means loss of goals, and his teams tend to ship shiploads of them. His dogmatic stance cost him his job at So'ton, and contributed massively to that Club's relegation. Rejecting tactical pragmatism, in any and all circumstances, he seemed not to care that staying in the EPL would mean significant income for the Club that he managed. Wow! On the plus side, it is suggested to me that he likes to play fast, attacking, 'expansive' football. I suspect that it would have to be blindingly fast, and accurate, with players able to beat a man, or draw the defence; otherwise it would founder on the low block employed by most SPL teams, and degenerate into slower paced trundleball, with the inevitable horseshoe shape, and crosses, chips, and passes trying to find an attacker among 9, even 10, opponents in the box, plus goalkeeper. Scoring shots from outside the compact, congested, penalty area would be as rare as hen's teeth. Does any of this sound familiar? Putting the philosophical, style over substance, Martin in charge of a team in the Group Stages of the CL, would risk ritual slaughter. I stand to be corrected, as always, of course. One thing that nags: is Martin the type of coach to develop players? Is he the kind of coach you would put i/c of a........feeder Club?

Not even tims are as bad as that. What would have happened if PSG had lost? I hope all the middle class Scotch hand wringers who get themselves into a frenzy if a Rangers supporter drops a crisp bag are taking notice.

It may have had five goals but this was a dire advertisement for the top game in Europe at times I got so bored I thought I was watching Rangers

Oh, that's a stretch. He 'gets it', right enough.

If David Healy gets the Dundee job and makes a success of it, he might be a future option for us. Bluenose.

If the new owners employ Martin any excitement and positivity from Friday instantly disappears. Warburton Mk11 is not what we need.

And signing a few players. Couple CB’s top priority

Whoever it's going to be we need him in position asap

Not a lot I'm just a poor old pensioner with a cat and two dogs to feed

How much did you through away compo?

Another nail in the coffin of football, with a horrible club, with horrible fans, winning the big one.
