    Saw the managerial news on Twitter, although what caught my eye was somebody having a dig at the club for closing down it's community work in Cumbernauld, kids football etc.

    Seemed to a bit harsh since the Cumbernauld chapter is now closed and the club move on. 

    Leaving that aside, the question i'd liked answered was, did the move 20 miles away lose much of the Cumbernauld based Clyde fans?

    The community foundation is nothing to do with the club either so the guy was already barking up the wrong tree by having a wee cry at Clyde FC. 

    From what I've seen so far this season most of the regulars from Broadwood have been at NDP.

    What makes Clyde fans think they'll be in a position to appoint another manager with Lennon on the books? Surely if there's money there for that then binning Lennon and his team is the first thing to do. From my uneducated outside view it looks like you'll be going with Moore until such time as you can afford to punt Lennon/he finds another job. 

    That's my understanding of things too. On gardening leave until we can either agree a pay off or avoid it if he gets a gig elsewhere.

    Can anyone confirm if they have finally managed to get the Scottish Cup right? Been wrong for years with teams who shouldn't be in it etc in there. Anyone able to get a screen grab of the first seasons prelim and first rounds?

    What about Stuart Kettlewell as a shout for manager. A former player and did reasonably well in his stint as gaffer at Ross County.

    To be honest it needs a fresh pair of eyes and at this point I’m not sure it could get much worse.

    Joined Motherwell recently as 20s manager after Hammell getting promoted to first team manager

  5. Wasn't there today but it's getting harder and harder to defend Lennon. Even if Allan was knackered surely he can get through another 7 mins instead of bringing him off for a midfielder to stick a defender up front? He's completely losing the plot.

    Natural full backs are poor but they're hardly going to improve watching midfielders play there from the sidelines. Maybe (although probably not) the likes of Rodden would've started getting better with a run of games in a settled line up.

    Another bit of advice, prepare yourself for the scar, that was when the gravity and permanence of our decision really hit home. Once the fur is back its not so bad!

    Appreciate this bit of advice in particular, although I still burst into tears when they brought him through and I seen it, at least I went in expecting it to be gruesome.

    Bruce got back home yesterday after his op, he was the bravest little soldier through the whole process and the vet even said that when he woke up he just rolled over wanting his belly rubbed which gave me a little bit of laughter through the distress. Since getting home, he has been milking all the attention from the household and neighbours even if his Mum Meg (she stays with us aswell) is getting a bit annoyed over it :lol: He had some difficulty last night eating his scrambled eggs as he kept hitting his bowl with the cone so I had to spoon feed most of it to him which went okay apart from the wee bits he wasn't catching in his mouth properly that spilt down his cone which was murder to get back out. As you say, the adjustment is probably tougher for me than it is him - I struggle a bit with the fact the leg just isn't there anymore after 7 years of him on 4 and I was panicking how I'd get him out for a pee this morning (more so incase the stitches/wound got disturbed in some way) but he managed fine.

    Don't think twice about amputation. It'll be an adjustment period for you more than the pooch. Archie had his back right leg off due to cancer and honestly he's happier with the leg away rather than the pain and discomfort he had before. He only really misses it when he wants to scratch his ear. On the plus side he dosent need to lift the leg to pish anymore! He was able to come home less than 24 hours after the op too.

    I do realise it's slightly different for you, but had we not made that decision Archie wouldn't be here today.

    The rehab won't be as difficult as you think it is imo. It's a case of keeping his weight down. Also its keeping your dog back, slow and short walks and no playing for a couple months. This won't be as difficult as he'll be on pain killers (guessing gabapentin) which makes them a bit drowsy anyway. What made Archies rehab so much harder for him was the chemo on top.

    Don't get me wrong, I totally toiled with the guilt and I felt he wasn't going to be happy etc but it couldn't be further from reality.

    The vets we had in Edinburgh (we were referred to the Hospital for Small Animals at the Dick Vet School) summed it up in one line - Dogs are born with three legs and a spare.

    Thanks for the words mate. I was in bits over it this morning but as the day's went on I realise it's the best thing for Bruce. Just a very sobering thing to be told at the time and the thing that got me the most was when he went for a pish he lifted his back leg and just buckled due the imbalance before just continuing without lifting any of his back legs. Booked in for his op tomorrow morning. He's been the bravest little soldier ever since it happened so have no doubt he'll be as happy as he's ever been once he gets back home after it. Glad to hear Archie's happy too after what sounds like an awful time of things. 

     

  8. Has anyone here went through any experiences of their dog getting a leg amputated? One of mine broke his leg yesterday morning and veterinary advice has boiled down to this or several thousands for specialist treatment of which might not even heal it properly and/or give him problems down the line. 

    I know and have been advised a dog can still be very active and healthy with a missing limb (particularly as it's one of the front ones) but just feels so extreme. Wish I could take his pain off him :(
