sadj Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 10 hours ago, Hackney Hearts said: Europe fair enough - but trophies? You're going to be very disappointed most seasons! I saw my first in 1998, having been 1 year old for our previous silverware success. We've been relatively spoilt with 2 more in the past 22 years. It's not a disaster to make semis or finals, especially if we come up just short against Celtic (you brought up relative wage bills!). There are plenty of things I've enjoyed in the last six years, not just individual results but some sustained periods, and I don't think it's sugar coating it to take satisfaction from the style in which we smashed the Championship so soon after admin, no matter the state of Hibs and Rangers. If we pull off a shock on 20 Dec, I hope you won't say the cup win doesn't count because Celtic's form has been shaky this season... Yes, there have been real lows, we know what they are (although even Cathro thrashed Rangers!), and last season was truly awful (thank God for the natural order Easter Road fixtures), I mean inexplicably bad, in that I believe we had the players to scrape mid-table. I suppose it's worth remembering that if we'd played with a goalkeeper we'd have been well clear of bottom place when hostilities ceased... I do feel your pain though. It's easy to ignore any past positives when the lows are so crushing and seemingly avoidable. We simply shouldn't have found ourselves in this position. My only point originally was that it hadn't been 100% regression since 2014. We just need to get back to some sustained highs - hopefully it won't be too long. Just gave me a vision of playing Fifa and running the length of the pitch then it glitching and losing the ball as they shoot into an empty net... 09 maybe 🤔 So true unfortunately. Weve been spoiled with keepers over the year but the last 18months have been horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve won the cup 3 times in 25 years. First 2 times were with very good sides who weren’t so far away from being champions. The third time wasn’t as good a side on paper but won the cup on pure team spirit. We should win a cup now and then, but only when quite a few factors fall together in the same tournament.

OTT Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Someone mentioned her as a potential replacement for Doncaster. I'd absolutely agree. We need a serious change of direction/culture at the SPFL/SFA, having someone like Dempster, who despite coming from the west coast has built up experience at clubs outside of Glasgow could offer up a perspective in the SPFL hierarchy of how the other 10 clubs live. She's easily qualified considering Doncasters experience was exclusively at Norwich whilst they weren't a premier league club. Plus parting ways with Doncaster could provide an opportunity to re-evaluate his grossly enormous salary and cut it down to being more in line with the money involved in Scottish football. Its obvious Dempster is well thought of in football circles despite what fans have said. I'd be very inclined to get behind her appointment tbh. As others have suggested though, this is maybe not a football/career decision and perhaps due to family issues. Perhaps once those are resolved it might be a time to look at it again.
