Won't argue much about it, never been impressed by the current side we have. Scrapped past absolute diddy teams in the Challenge Cup, and on course for a relegation battle in the league. Most Livi fans impressed with our start to the season, but I'm far from impressed. Bloody rubbish.

Totally agree don't believe our manager knows much about modern day football. All is signing are tall or beasts he as yet to sign a footballer. We have no creativity and he makes same changes every game regardless of scoreline or who is playing bad  Three forwards for 3 forwards ! We have a backline with a midfielder playing right back and 2 CH who cant pass more than 10 yards. Talbot is less than average with his football ability really wish the manger would change it and we are missing big Declan hope hes back soon

IN RESPONSE TO EDWARD SNOWDON (Nice Name): The only two things I agree with is yes we are shaky at the back and we don't have enough creativity! However by all accounts last night we were denied at least two penalties at 1 nil down, their keeper produced a view great saves and the final scoreline of 4-0 was very harsh.

Until the second goal went in I thought we were well in the game so, I think 4-0 is a bit harsh on us,” McGlynn commented. “I thought we gave a good account of ourselves in the first half where we had one or two opportunities and their goalkeeper has had a couple of good saves. It was quite an open game with chances at either end.

“But it became very difficult after they got their second goal when Aberdeen showed their qualities. They’re very sharp and everyone knows they are a good side. The positive we can take is our performance in the first hour, although we got punished later on in the game. But we’ll take it on the chin and dust ourselves down as we’ve got a big game against Hearts on Sunday.”

Glen then must have thought he had netted his first goal since his move from Ross County in the summer when his piercing left-footed drive was bound for the far corner, but Brown was again Aberdeen’s saviour as he got down to turn the ball wide of the target.

IMO we haven't performed to standard in only two games, Dumbarton away and Raith at home, two games out of eleven so let's not get all doom and gloom we've had hard fixtures to start (mostly away) and more to come!

You talk about the manager's signings and that he doesn't know much about modern day football - Think your talking oot yer arse tbh:

Hippo - Super Sub & Cult Hero
Gallagher - Solid CB & Great Signing
White - Top Goalscorer in the Championship
Glen - Few MOTM performances
David Robertson - Brings Experience to the team
McKenna - Lively winger from the Juniors

Ogelby - Been Injured
Donaldson - Been Injured

I think time will tell with this young side and the fixtures are very tough for the next few weeks, just maybe we can spring an upset if we get behind the team!!

Don't think I've read as much nonsense in a long time.

I think we will be lucky to get 1 point draw with Falkirk from these fixtures that will put us on 8 points and probably in the relagation play off spot. Maybe I went over the top but sorry I don't think that is good enough considering we are fulltime and which should leave at least 3 teams below us. Why are we a diddy team expecting to finish mid table we are playing in the Championship and should at least be challenging for a top four playoff spot

think getting to a semi final of a cup is a good start to a season.

We've lost to the worst Hibs team in living memory, who are getting roundly humped off everyone else, and lost to Raif and Dumbarton. We've only beaten 2 part-time sides at home. SF of the Challenge Cup looks alright paper but we've only played 3 matches against 2 diddy clubs and Hearts under 12s. Couldn't even beat the diddy teams after 90 mins. Raped by Aberdeen just there in the week.

Average/slightly poor start to the season, IMO. Especially in the league.

I would say "I haven't read so much nonsense in a long time" but you do contain some facts this time so its marginally more sensible than your last effort.

As I mentioned a moment ago I expect Hibs to finish higher than us, that said they only beat us by virtue of a bizarre goal that DJ should have been on his line to simply catch but wasn't. We have lost narrowly to both Raith & Dumbarton which are results that will happen in football regardless of how good you are.

Aberdeen won 4-0 in the end; so what? Celtic beat Hearts 3-0, does that mean Hearts have had a crap start to the season? They are only top of the Scottish second tier, could only draw with PT Dumbarton & were thrashed out of sight when they fielded a weakened side (including a player who then scored a hat trick in his next game) against Livi & earlier in the season could only beat the worst Hibs team in living memory 2-1.

Smithy wrote:BB has got it spot on about the 4 nil score line, we are out of the league cup whether it was 1 or 4 .

However we have some on here shouting we need to be challenging for a top four slot, well in normal circumstances I agree, but this year with the big three in our league then that only leaves one available place being fourth spot so this year for us to be in the top seven ,which in other years would mean a top four slot,and in a cup final would be acceptable.

I see no reason that we can't finish in the top seven and be in a cup final so I'm going to enjoy all the big games encourage the players and see where we end up. We may even surprise ourselves if we can just get realistic expectations.

We are the team with the championships top scorer at present and yet people are saying they wish they had McNulty back. We really need to get a grip and back the players we have , live in the present not the past.

McGlynn has steadied the ship of that there is no doubt, I had a look at the Aberdeen fans forum and one quote was .....Livi were no mugs....... So why can't our own support start believing this too, because we are a decent team with the limited budget that we have.
