    Simple example. Listen to the St. Mirren prematch on their channel (where I paid to watch) and the first 15 minutes of commentary. It was absolutely clear that everyone in and around the club was/is pumped up for the battle. They talk of taking players out, going for it with meaning, pumped work rate etc etc.

    On the zone we have a couple of nice chirpy chappies who are just kinda floating through the prematch and really show no emotion during the match. Impartiality is for independent broadcasters.

    A big difference between us and every other team in the league (including St. Mirren until but a few weeks ago) is that they would be delirious at being in our position right now, but because of our status as a club and our associated expectations, we are the opposite, because we need to be in the top flight to maintain our status in the football pecking order, as well as business considerations. Motivation for the other clubs to achieve almost comes naturally, but for us, there is no real achievement in getting back upstairs, because that is where we should be. There is a lot of self inflicted pressure to succeed at United (promotion) as an expectation, rather than as an achievement.

    I have zero confidence in the manager

    i seen him parade around the touchline at Brechin pointing at fresh air whilst being unable to coach a team to beat a team who hasn't won this season

    If you want to win the league , you have to win that game.

    He's Mixu -with a different accent. He's pathetic.
