Well that's the season just started and already I have feelings of despondency. When I heard about Russell Martin's style of football (the possession based patient build up from the back) I knew, I f*cking knew that it would alienate me and a lot of fans and what I have seen in the two Champion League legs I haven't changed my mind. It is shite, total shite and the only reason we got through into the next qualifying round was that Panathinaikois' finishing was terrible. Our performances in both home and away ties was the stuff of nightmares. So onto Motherwell at Fir Par and another weak, cowardly worse than amateurish performance. Keiron Dowell must be one of the worst players to put on the strip in the last couple of seasons and was on loan at Birmingham last season yet Martin rates him ? Give me bloody peace....Dowell is garbage and we have too many passengers instead of guys wanting to fight for the jersey. The only reason I believe Tavernier is still here is to get his testimonial at the ed of his 10th season. Yes he has been a great asset for us but his time was really up at least a season ago when he should have been punted. We have a right back on loan Aarons who Martin plays at leftback, to accommodate Tavernier, and an 'inverted' leftback at that...f*cking inverted....what the f*ck is that ? Never heard so much pish in my life. Unbelievable....one game in and you just know we're going to do eff all this season. Totally pissed off! Russell Martin can take his shite style of footbll and f*ck off into the sunset anytime he wants!

A good win last night but yes the football will be pretty turgid and one paced .

Another manager obsessed with possession stats !

With the new owners coming in not so long ago everyone seemed to be on a high but, and I talk only about me, from what I've seen they will have to do a lot a better if they have any ambition to win silverware this season. The home game on Saturday will be very telling!

they have been absolute garbage mate. Martin's style/system of football is absolute crap. I totally reject it and detest it! Most of our players have shirked their responsibilities so far especially domestically. He continues to include Dowell....I truly despair. He has signed defenders who really haven't strengthened our defence, midfielders, wingers but bloody goal scoring centre forward which we are crying out for. Our central defenders passed the ball more than our midfield in the Dundee game. Possession is only useful if their is an end product but we rarely find it! Can we beat Alloa in the league cup on Saturday ? Hmmm!
