Ever get the feeling Derek pays too much attention to what people are saying on social media? That's a few times recently he has had a wee dig.

If he can't take what idiots say on Facebook or certain football forums with a pinch of salt then maybe he is as thick as you've been telling us.

I don't know...if he has been on social media a lot, and has had a look in on here the criticism is pretty relentless, quite nasty and personal at times. I'd use the word 'human' rather than 'thick' if it did irk him. If the folk that regularly make those comments want him out I'd suggest going and saying it to his face, just in case he hasn't had a look in...you know...make sure he gets the message. Probably what I would do if I felt that strongly about getting him out of the club.

I can see that the criticism in some areas is justified, just not the manner it's delivered...but it's a free country so people are within their rights to be as c***ish as they like behind a keyboard as long as they're not making threats. Not in my nature to be like that but each to their own.

I do actually agree a change in manager could well move us on, I just can't see Milne ever being able to select one. Case in point, though it's early days...Paul Heckingbottom. Lennon did a good job with Hibs and he's deemed good enough to go back to Celtic so if the guy keeps Hibs going in the way they've started under him there's a potential manager right there who could improve us. Milne wouldn't have the judgement to make a decent left field appointment. He'd probably just get in Tommy Wright or Gary Holt.

That's my point. I don't do facebook or anything like that but I sometimes get sent the team news with all the comments after it. It's all full of idiots trying to be funny and having a pop for no reason.

So I would probably class him as thick to if he pays any attention to it.

Fair enough, I've never really linked intelligence to emotional responses, more a case of character. But I would agree that it's not an intelligent thing to even read what's being said, if you are someone who takes it to heart...and especially ro react to it with barbed comments in the media. I wouldn't agree he's exactly 'right' about Cosgrove yet either, I always saw potential there and he's done well but we are outside the European places and facing a difficult semi so if I was him, I'd wait until the end of the season before making any bullish statements designed to 'get it up' the doubters. Better yet, just don't say anything and ignore it.
