  1. Very very happy.  I would also like to quietly point to some posters who couldn’t wait to see the back of him last summer.

    when he plays well, he plays very well.  And having a happy bunch of players - which we clearly have just now - makes everyone play well. 

    Happy days.  It’s taken a while, but feels like Ruggy could even shift his steeple to a slightly more priapic position now…

    Where did the ultras sit last time we were away at Stirling? Was going to buy tickets but I don't want any hassle and ideally would like to sit where I've picked. Leave me alone - I'm auld and crabbit 🤣

    They stood behind the goal at the north end of the ground, left as you look at the goal.  But the stand was pretty full and certainly by the time I got there it was “sit anywhere”

    ETA - you miserable git

  3. I hope it’s not the Cove game - it’s the only home game I won’t be able to make this season!

    Although it annoyed me slightly not to get my usual seats (I know I know), it was really good to see the KM7 full for a Tuesday night game.  Really wasn’t expecting that and maybe we’re starting to convert some of the big game hunters into regulars.

    Point of my post is that there is no need to have a squad this size at this level no matter what team it is.

    The sale of 4 of our top youth players has funded this and all we needed was a core of experience and bringing youth through to learn from them…not 2 whole teams.

    It is reminiscent of what John Lambie used to do years ago completely neglecting the youth which is what we are all about.

    If Rankin was the Manager years ago, the likes of the 2 James,Brian Easton,Lewis Ferguson, Greg Docherty etc would never have got a chance.

     

     

    It’s a fair point and I hadn’t realised you had that size of squad.  That’s mental anywhere other than the Premier.

    I reckon there will be at least one change as John hinted in the post match interview.

    The backline picks itself unless there is injuries from Saturday, I'd keep Hogarth in goals as I'm not a fan of swapping on a regular basis unless they are costing us games.

    Tait for Henderson seems a likely one, Ross and/or Agyeman I'd guess only other options.

    Montrose can be quite physical, so Agyeman might be a thought.

    It was a fair battle on Saturday both physically and mentally that I reckon we will have a couple of changes. 

    Miller looked out on his feet about half way through the second half, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Ross starts.

    Very different players in a very different system and style of play.

    Latapy was one of those guys with great skill but let's be honest he was hardly a grafter and would slow it down, wouldn't fit with this team or style as he was what people would call a luxury player. 

    In a thread of wild opinions, this is just…

    Latapy is now 55 and I’d still put him in our starting XI, let alone at his peak.

    I know we're supposed to be all professional and 'take nothing for granted' but this league is over. We can start planning for a Championship season next year.

    We are excellent champions. We'll done to the management team and the board. I thought last summer it was massively risky keeping McGlynn but it's proved to be a masterstroke. 

     

     

    Nope. 

  8. On reflection probably a more comfortable win than it felt at the time, Accies didn’t have too many chances.

    With a bit of more clinical finishing (I’m looking at you Brad Spencer) and a referee that knows the laws of the game (two handed push on the edge of the box is allowed these days, apparently), we would have been out of sight.

    I WIll ill be going out of duty rather than faith tomorrow. I can see that from one point of view, the expected turnout from us is poor and as fans you should never give up until its officially over. However, It would be unfair of anyone to judge any fellow accies fan not attending tomorrow for the various reasons highlighted above.

    To have any chance tomorrow, we will need to see the grit and fight that we have looked for in vain so often this season. I have applauded much of what the new owner has been trying to do this season, but the comments regarding our fans this week was misguided at best, particularly due to the aforementioned track record the club has for slagging of its supporters. Of course the board should protect their manager, but they must also recognise what he and the players can do to appease and encourage the support. There may not be many of us but we are bloody loyal considering what it's like to follow a club like ours. (As I'm sure fans of a lot of "scotlands "we diddy clubs"will agree

    As YOH highlighted, its those who have organised busses that have been most affected by fans choosing not to attend. Maybe it would be a good idea for someone from the club could reach out to these buses and build some bridges? 

    God that all sounds so familiar.  It’ll pass, but don’t stop going to home games - lack of gate receipts won’t help.

    Five buses still going and many folk like myself wait till the day to see if PATG is an option.

    Sadly Zengin’s comments against the fans the other day have put folk off.

    I had booked a seat on one of the buses  for a guy coming down from Aberdeen,but due to the aforementioned,he is not coming down and that is one example of many.

    The real issue here again is folk are angry at a Board/Manager having a go at fans and are saying Foxtrot Oscar as this has been going on for 15+ years and despite a new Football Club Owner, they have reverted to type.

    The same thing happened just before The Airdrie games last season under the old Board.

    I don’t think there is a Football Club in Scotland which has consistently had Club Officials disparaging supporters so often and all the add ones: no highlights of games, a joke of a Club Shop,Club Officials arguing or laughing at fans  etc etc.

    I’ll be there expecting a performance after the last 2 disastrous months.

    Whether that is good enough time will tell but there is a feeling of “Meet The New Board,same as the old Board” in that they revert to type and blame supporters for their failings.

     

     

    That’s a statement not a question.
