Ah yes, the laughing emojis.

The last vestige of the man who can't think of a response and is trying to save face.

Nonsense, that's not how it's used generally and anyway I've been watching Scottish premier highlights and Tommy Wright is St Johnstone's manager so problem solved.

Tommy must decide, St.Johnstone or Darlo. He cannot do both, particularly if there is hard Brexit and SNP gain independence. :lol:

I agree that you shouldn't call Tommy that bad name. I called him a berk once but I was out of order - thick too but I wouldn't now. I've changed my mind about him a number of times but I couldn't call him fickle because he's stuck at it when no-one else would. Results will tell for him but I think it's right he's made it to the end of the season and the good will you can find for him and the team that shows through on some of the threads is very impressive. Let's hope he can conjure up that mysterious stuff on show against Kidder and Chorley for Saturday and take a back seat at half-time. Two cheers for Tommy.

Yes I still think Tommy can be in charge next season and his reported demise is too premature.

It’s a good question, as our league placing are getting worse each season. From 5th to 12th to ?th.

Let’s re-sign Styche.
Getting rid of the twat on the touch line needs to be a priority.
Then we could try and get Styche back.
re-sign Styche? what with? brass buttons?

unless you're happy we line up with a 2-2-1 formation with Styche filling in at both full backs, midfield and leading the line on his own.

he was sold to balance the books no?

Yes he was sold to balance the books, however a new budget is available in the summer, how much of that is available to spend I don't know. Not saying we could afford Styche or someone of his level but we need to try to bring someone in to lead the line.

Be great to find a Mark Beck type again, although some moaned about him at the time.

Personal abuse of TW is out of order, he's done his best in a very difficult situation. Perhaps the people who are calling him the name are the real idiots.
Totally agree.Bang out of order.

Yes couldn't believe a select few moaned about him. Thought he was a lower league striker who had plenty of attributes and a few goals in him. He even closed defenders down (teamplayer) as far as I remember. Was gutted when he left but understood the reasons.

Problem for Beck was he made us so one dimensional. When teams sussed out how to negate the long ball for him, he didn't have much else to offer. He wasn't as mobile as an Armstrong or a Purewal, and he also suffered from not having anyone who seemed able to effectively play off his strengths. Neither Cartman or Hardy ever really enjoyed playing alongside a big man, wasn't and isn't their game. Consequently, even when Beck won a header, the ball ended up with the opposition, and it made him look the culprit. Whilst Gray had always been a long ball merchant to a degree, it usually utilised the channels, and Dowson, Armstrong and Purewal were ideal for this. They could also create something for themselves - Beck couldn't. He wasn't able to do anyone for pace, didn't really have much trickery about him. He was very good at what he did, a real threat from set-pieces, but like Denton, looked awful when game didn't suit him.

I know a few Harrogate fans and they are mouning about Beck and playing hoof ball

FCUM bringing four players from their Under 21s with three likely to start, they say. The club has also binned off three players after last Saturday's terrible defeat.
