Walter Smith used to instigate situations like that to show which players would fight for the team. The only manager McIness respects more than Fergie.

It's not 4d chess, it's just what McIness has been brought up to do. But your examples which didn't happen are good too Scott.

Hekens

He’s regularly spoke about both Smith & Ferguson’s influence on him. I’m sure that he spoke to Smith before knocking back the Rangers job too.

It’s exactly what both of them would do, so he’s doing what he’s seen done before to instil the same mentality within his team.

Look at what he said after the Cheltic game picking on one of their “inexperienced coaches” and has O’Neill kicking off to protect Fotheringham, who then phoned Del to apologise.

More power to him doing this.

I'll leave you two to derive deeper meaning into him brushing past someone.

Makes me laugh though.

Just utterly shites himself at any traditional tough venue despite being top of the league.

Continuing to play guys like Steinwender when Altena is clearly far better.

Too many combative industrial midfielders rather than actual ball players who’ll make us tick.

So sickening, done brilliant to get us here but his over-cautious nature has fucked us.

McEntee was a horrendous sub tonight, he offers nothing and didn’t even break up the play like he’s meant to, got rinsed every time.

Many times did he blindly hook the ball in the channels, he's a fucking shite football player, if he's not filling in at right back doing the basics then I don't want to see him on the pitch.

Sad thing is you ken he was told to just keep it simple and hook the ball down the line Fat Cunt

For all Magnusson's limitations, he gets about the park and does a great job making up numbers as a second striker by the time crosses arrive. Oisin doesn't have that and it stymied alot of how we play.

2 weeks to get them ready.
The big wait, the 8pm kickoff.
The absolute embarrassment.

Disgusting.

It wil all be brushed over tomorrow, though.
Bad day at the office.

I don't think he's got anything else in his locker. What even is he? Looks like a centre half that's not good enough to play there.

I’ve seen big Oisin have a couple of decent games in CM but he isn’t the answer of course.

In a 3 with Beni playing his fitba for him. You can’t win titles with a player playing centre mid that can’t play fitba.

The question is if we got some JBA type would he have had us further ahead?

Maybe you swap the OF wins for winning the ‘easy’ games such as Killie and St Mirren.

At the end of the day you can’t criticise him but the stupid points he has dropped are frustrating as fuck.

Hard to criticise Del as he’s largely the reason we are where we are.

I will though Smug He’s just overly conservative in games that don’t call for it. Killie should be shiteing it off us no the other way about. Feels like he’s being defending a metaphorical 1-0 lead in regards to our league position for too long and I feel it will bite us in the end.

He's rightly had plenty of praise for the positives - he's clearly a great man manager and has done a good job of keeping everyone happy in a huge squad, including a few who seem in the past to have been bad apples. For the most part we've shown good team spirit and risen to the big games.

The big negative is that he's far too cautious in games where we should be looking to impose ourselves on the opposition. There's no world in which Celtic or Rangers go to Killie aiming primarily to keep it tight at the back or go to St Mirren looking to nullify them. He's going into a title challenge with the mindset of a mid-table side's manager.

Finally brought myself to watch his post match interview.  Fat Cunt
I know he's got to put a face on to a degree, but fuck me, I'd be a bit more pissed off. 
All about putting an arm around the players, they need our support, and a wee hot water bottle. 
Have we not been here before with the likes of St Mirren? what happened to learning from your mistakes. 
What happened to manning the fuck up. 
Not enough leaders to win the league imo. 
Mamby pamby pish merchants.
