Zonal marking - basically permission for everyone to abdicate any responsibility

Ah think you’re right Mike - the stripes were down the centre

It’s not Hearts is it? - might be my ageing brain but seem to remember them having a strip like that at one time. Thought that might be Donald Park in pic

I’m not sure he can with what he has at his disposal - at point where be happy to scrape enough points to stay out of trouble and give him summer window. Somehow need to identify underlying issue over last 4 seasons where we collapse at first sign of adversity

That was a great read Mark - JN is one of the few journalists I would go out of my way to read these days

That would be fitting

Feels like a few too many been around now when multiple managers have failed

Guess one for the manager to decide how committed the individual will be knowing that they are leaving

Not all in our control but I would rather those leaving in summer were moved on in January

Far too many automatic choices irrespective of form atm

Happier and simpler days

That’s the club I was thinking of - my old man was a member and I sneaked in as a guest

He was remarkable - totally lethal on the Saturday then I would see him in local social club during the week playing snooker having a fag and a pint - absolute legend

Yesterday wasn’t great by any means but feels like Jimmy already a bit of a victim of his own early success. Probably be next August before we see anything near the team he would like. Has improved quite a few but maybe too many are just impact players - teams also now seeing how best to nullify us

It’s mind boggling how wound up they get given they win every fecking thing going - and I’ve had mates of my age who are Celtic fans saying the same - they wouldn’t even have watched their team while Rangers were doing 9 in a row

He was one of the first Dons players I remember watching - a proper tough guy

He’s perfected the art of nailing someone then staying by their side looking concerned whilst they get treatment. Happens way too often to be a coincidence

They are unreal if anyone dares to not lie down to them - would never cope if they didn’t win everything - remember state of them when Lennon lost 10 in a row

We have asked a lot of two relatively inexperienced defenders to play together every game - I’m sure that if one at a time played along with a bit of experience beside them, it would really help their development. Fingers crossed that this will be addressed next month

He’s a vile individual

What a performance that was - wiped the floor with them

Aye their response was - yer in Glasgow deal with it

Same for me at Parkhead - last time I went to Ibrox to see us play them was in 85 when they went down to 9 men and its was carnage

The “suits” just love punching down

Likewise Andy - maybe an age thing tho my wife watches it so who knows 😂

Hopefully very little 😂

I know Killie are ripping theirs up but not sure if that’s because they have to. I think there was a move to make it banned from top league but last I heard a number of teams had appealed this ruling so not sure where we are with it

I foolishly thought they would just drop down the leagues 😬 if they went back to grass I wouldn’t mind so much but then again most championship teams are on Astro

Very true

What a snide wee article from a snide wee journalist
