| 21. Author: PARadise Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 17:23 In fairness the "usual suspects" are absolutely hopeless and have had a lot of time to prove otherwise. I don`t like the bullying but there are lots of very valid criticisms. Clean slate squad next season I think it needs a total revamp for the fans but some of the players to kick start their careers again Reply |
| 22. Author: RossF Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 18:05 You’re correct wee eck, managers will see a lot of ability in training but unfortunately some players cannot replicate their form in training to the pitch. Take Archie Stevens for example. He showed in the early stages that he definitely has ability but just lacked a final ball. Recently he has been extremely poor and I noticed he wasn’t even in the squad on Saturday. There is evidence based on his game time that he could turn into a decent player but perhaps doesn’t fit into Lennon’s system. Completely agree with you there. It extremely unfair to judge Lennon with the current squad. We have nothing upfront, especially with Kane and McCann’s injury troubles. In my eyes he is the best manager we’ve had at the club since Calderwood and I hope he can bring back exciting times. Reply |
| 23. Author: shellypar Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 18:11 The issue i see is some threads are not about a player, could be about anything, yet some players are somehow brought into these conversations and then singled out, which i find weird tbh COYP Reply |
| 24. Author: Malcolm Canmore Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 18:34 “Repeatedly accusing someone of being bad at their job is abusive IMO.” That is especially the case when the accusers could not do the job themselves and have no particular critical ability. Unfortunately, social media simply encourages the anonymous clowns to post what they want and to become ever more vitriolic with each post. The bravery of being out of range. My dog eats meat Reply |
| 25. Author: CrossPar Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 19:11 You don`t need to be a watchmaker to tell the time. Reply |
| 26. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 19:35 CrossPar, Wed 23 Apr 19:11 You do, however, need to know more than how to tell the time to be able to tell a watchmaker how to do his job Reply |
| 27. Author: CrossPar Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 19:49 red-star-par, Wed 23 Apr 19:35 That will be the string of watchmakers that have been sacked over the last few years for not doing their job very well. Reply |
| 28. Author: Alter Ego Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 19:55 It’s a football forum😅 Jesus Christ now you can’t say players in games were brutal and didn’t play well? This is what is wrong with society now…if you don’t do well at something and are wrong your still praised as you tried and well done… Wanyama is overweight and looks like a tellytubby McCann has 1 good game in 6/7 matches and can’t read getting back to defend. Big Bene a great captain but his legs have gone since his injury Joe Chalmers is not a left back and can ping a pass but can’t tackle in midfield The team we have right now is brutal and needs totally revamped for us to be even competitive next season or spend £££ to win the league… Fek me there is a lot of players in that team who simply have not tried hard enough in games and should be disappointed in themselves as we might not have been where we are now! Mon the Pars! Reply |
| 29. Author: Wotsit Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 20:45 Nobody`s saying you can`t do it Alter Ego. You fire in. But folk will judge you for it and might even tell you why, as is [b]their[/b] right. Personally, I think it`s strangely disproportionate behaviour for a grown adult to spout abuse at folk because they think they are bad at their job in entertainment. Maybe giving your opinion in public about a stranger`s work performance would be understandible if they were a doctor or a politician who had wrecked your life, but I don`t think Joe Chalmers has crashed the economy or botched any brain surgery. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 30. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 21:20 It`s probably the worst time of year for professional footballers. We are fighting to stay up, players are at tge end of their contracts with no clarity where they will be next season. Part of the game I suppose but difficult if you have family and financial commitments. G Wardrope Reply |
| 31. Author: JTH123 Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 22:00 Thats a very good point. Try to play to your potential to impress a new manager in the hope of getting a new contract but you could get injured and have no way of earning in a few weeks time. Reply |
| 32. Author: summeragent Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 08:11 We have had a string of bad and indifferent managers. It’s really difficult to see who is genuinely a good player when they are played out of position or the manager uses tactics that just don’t work. Otoo took some slack yet he is a genuinely gifted player imo. Lewis McCann still has something about him and I would be interested to see how he develops with NL. Reply |
| 33. Author: thebear Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 00:18 Problem was when we won l1, we were still not good, fortunately the rest were worse. We won matches but on the whole only just. It`s the same group of players that we have now. Reply |
| 34. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 06:32 thebear, Fri 25 Apr 00:18 And we won it with what was according to the manager championship standard players. Some of which are still struggling in the championship. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 35. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 09:04 We all know the mistake we made was giving 2 year deals to players we got us relegated the season before all because they looked good in League One. McPake should’ve been backed by the Germans and they players should’ve been thanked for getting us back up and let go. The same mistakes won’t be made this summer. Reply |
| 36. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 09:18 Ahoy!Ahoy!, Fri 25 Apr 09:04 I always wondered if the Germans had the finances they boasted and maybe that`s what led them to sell. If you think about it they used government grants for a few portacabins around an astro and little to no investment in the first team squad. Although it`s a breath of fresh air having bord investing using his own cash. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 37. Author: GG Riva Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 10:01 cammypar 1995, Fri 25 Apr 09:18 The consortium consisted of 11 millionaires and a billionaire, Cammy, so they weren`t short of a € or two, but they obviously weren`t that keen to chuck too much of it at the Pars. 🙁  Not your average Sunday League player.

| 38. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 10:27 Another strange theory about the previous regime was that they delegated the big decisions to the CEO and the financial losses were down to him. I hardly think they achieved their millionaire status by handing their cheque books over to paid employees. The problem was they were unable or unwilling to communicate their vision to the fans.

| 39. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 10:33 I would think that in making assessments of players, NL will be open minded. There are obviously lessons to be learned from this season, but I wouldn`t attribute the poor season to individual players. It`s far more complex than that. If you assess players on this season, it fails to recognise the potential in players and how you believe they can develop. You have to separate the two. It`s a team game at the end of the day so you need a group of players who become more than the sum of their parts. In football I think it`s important to look more on the positive side. Negativity can become a self-fulfilling prophecy in sport, I.e. you can defeat yourself before you step on the park. Positive mental attitude is very important. G Wardrope Reply |
| 40. Author: Never10yairds Date: Fri 25th Apr 2025. 12:24 I always thought the Germans plans were fundamentally flawed from the start. Too much blue sky thinking that ignored some of the harsh realities of Scottish football. The only way to achieve their ambition of making us self sustaining through nurturing and selling young talent was to invest in establishing us as an SPL side first. Spoke to people in football at the time. The hottest young prospects in Scottish football do not sign for championship or league one sides, they want to be in the youth set up of an SPL team. Additionally it is hard to get value for players you are selling as a championship or L1 side. If they’ve played well in the SPL you can command a much better transfer fee. Consider Edward’s, had he played a good season in the SPL, you could probably have got 10x the transfer fee. Post Edited (Fri 25 Apr 12:27) Reply |
