Belfast Owl 2

At least his name would be spelt correctly

And I think the friendlies so far indicate we will Where are you?

How do you know we aren't?

Jesus... These games are a good way to build up fitness and try out things. These sides will give it a go and wont be easy. Seems a sensible approach and maybe we can get stronger opposition for next friendly.

You will find plenty

Ian Josh The Owl theres two posters who do

Biggs was an Allen mouthpiece so is getting no respect from me.

Right seems to be a few of us in Northern Ireland. Need to maybe get a meet up for a tv game next year. Was the only Owl watching the derby games in Laverys this season!

I used to be on that site but makes Matchday on here seem positive.

I can verify this.

The ones who lose their rag if we are losing after 20 minutes and start angry threads. Makes any comeback even better

They managed in different circumstances so can be hard to judge. But Irivine was arrogant and stubborn and was genuinely awful. Had nothing about him. Turner just wasn’t cut out for management.

Yeah but still didn't do a very good job did they? I'm confident Irvine, Turner or Yorath wouldn't have got us into play offs with that money. It seems just because Carlos had money promotion should have been guarenteed. He gave us a great first season and last season we nearly got over the line. This hid some problems and we suffered from them. He made mistakes and he became too stubborn and negative. But worst ever? Not having it.

I remember going into an absolute rage when we lost 3-0 to Tranmere under Megson. Was out watching Champions League and didn't speak for ages. Proper huff

Irvine and Turner were were way worse. The whole transfer business needs some perspective- I'm not convinced all the signings were his choice, And relative to the division other teams have spent more. Plus the amount he spent keeps getting inflated. It will be £60 million soon. I agree the team lacked fitness and his overuse of some players was wrong. And the playoffs last year were awful. So I'm saying he had to go in the end but far from the worse. Thats all I'll say as I've no chance of changing your mind in any way
