Just a pack of vile vultures. Continually stirring the sh!tpot to sell their rags. Absolutely no shame.

I disagree.

They don't try to chase out every manager after short periods.

They only chase out managers who aren't part of their wee insular football community.

They protect the 'good guys', guys like Jackie McNamara and Ritchie Foran, regardless of how utterly incompetent they are. Yet they target guys who aren't within the clique if they get one or two bad results.

Our media is a shambles overall, not least the sports media in Scotland. It's why I don't buy a paper anymore as they offer nothing in terms of decent analysis.

You only have to look south of the border to realize how ridiculous the expectations and behaviour up here is

Bob Bradley might disagree.

Hounded from the moment he took the job....because he was American.

Stop talking pi$h !

your trying to compare a manager who has done nothing to one that has done everything barring international success. EMBARASSING.

So far there is no defending Pedro, the same problems are showing now as they were last season with different players. Lack of structure when attacking. Players are either not following instructions or are not being given them. That much is clear from the games I have been at. All the the two forwards do is go up and play against the two centre halfs, the two wide players go up and play right on the fullbacks. Neither of them move the defence about, create angles, look to go in behind, a complete lack of attacking structure, the same that was showing last season.

Ill still go, I will still support the team. But for anyone who knows anything about coaching or any tactical nouse knows the team are severely lacking. I thought that 2nd would be ours this season and things would improve but there is no evidence of this sadly.

Which to add Ivan actually makes my point. The behaviour towards Pedro is nothing short of a disgrace 👍

It's just desperate. I had a brief exchange with Tito (I think) and every single bit of it online is clickbait. Matters not a jot on the content it's only about annoying people with sensationalist headlines and that only.

Whilst I don't think Pedro is the right man for the job, the criticism from the media since he's arrived has been well out of line.

All because we had the audacity to appoint a foreign manager rather than their wee pal McInnes, Wright or McCleish.

They are absolute skumbags the lot of them. Wouldn't pash on them if they were on fire.

"Chopping and changing the manager every season won't bring either stability or results. It will do the exact opposite."

Appointing the right manager is the only way to move forward or bring stability

You're the one talking p!sh.

3 games on with 9 new players. Give it a rest ffs. Would you like to be judged in your job after a short spcace of time ?

The guy needs the fans support. Not people fookin scrutinizing every detail. The form and tactics come with time as the players get to know each other's games and the managers wishes

Thought you were saying that down south they give managers time, that they're more pragmatic, they hounded Bradley.

And by the way, you're bang on with my comparison. That was the point.

If a top manager can go to manager and have a sh!t season when the expectations are massive then why should a guy like Pedro not also be afforded time. We've been in the dumps for years.

We have no right to set the bar so high so soon with the new manager.

You're not a fan 👍

Its not the players performances that Im am looking at and criticising its the structure of his team, the way he sets them out to attack. The structure of his teams is shocking this has not been noticed over the last 3 games but over the last 6 months !

Nothing wrong with 4-4-2. Suits us perfectly. 👍

163 days
17 games.

won 9
Lost 5
Drawn 3

He does need time to acclimatize but there are already murmurings from Bears to ditch him, he needs wins or they murmurings will get louder and louder.

I love how it's just 3 games for Pedro.

Were last season's embarrassing results and the games against Progres which turned out to be the most embarrassing result in Scottish footballing history all a dream?

More than entitled to still back any manager but try not to polish a big pile of diarrhoea.

That's always going to happen and I'm sure he'll have been well warned, plus I'm also sure he'll have a thick enough skin to deal with it.
