  1. We don't have the ability to be miles better. Without the sending off we would have been relegated tonight. I suspect Annan will need to be reduced to nine men for us to stand a chance. The save from Mullen was incredible. I was right in line with the cracking shot and watched it swerve and dip. Parry would've still been adjusting his feet as the ball hit the net. Commiserations to East Fife. Good footballing team that played football in a manner Dinosaur Duffy's teams never do.
  2. It could be worse. They could be pining for Barrowfield Park.
  3. What happens if the board is cleared out and there are no one ready to step in? What's the reason I believe there's no one waiting to step up? The fact no one has stepped up. The fact the board have stated on numerous occasions they are open to interested parties. If I recall correctly, did they not also state they'd even be prepared to consider changes to the ownership model if it facilitated investment. I've no idea why Homesbook are ending their sponsorship. Do you know? For all we know it may be more to due with the company's balancing it's own books than displeasure with the board/club. I'm not an apologist for the board. They've made many mistakes and they lack many things but I don't see any alternative at the moment. Someone has to run the club. Unfortunately we have the best of a non existent bunch doing it.
  4. We can complain again and again but there's no one waiting to take over. I've asked many times what the alternative is to the current board is. I've never seen a reply that answers the question other than vague statements about getting investment or making better decisions. There's no rich benefactor desperate to spaff their wealth against the wall. Nor are there talented specialised volunteers with expertise in marketing, financial ingenuity or a huge black book of contacts having their emails ignored by the current board. It's shit but that's the truth.
  5. We're in exactly the correct league position as we deserve. It's incredible there is actually a team below us in the league. I'll be astounded if we don't have one of the lowest points total of any team not automatically relegated from League One. All the teams above us have beaten us. We've won four (4) games out of thirty five (35). For what it's worth, I see a couple of reasons we won't get through the playoffs. The playing squad for example. Another, the manager. Other than those, we should be fine.
  6. Disappointed to lose the game today to an injury time goal. I thought we were excellent defensively. Dunfermline hardly had a shot on target out with their goals. And credit where credit is due. I've been very critical of Docherty recently. I thought he was impressive today.
  7. I like your optimism but I just don't see where is coming from. This squad may be capable of scraping 0-0 or the odd 1-1 but winning two ties, I'm not so sure. Hopefully I'm wrong
  8. Personally, Roberts for poty by a distance. In my opinion he's been heads and shoulders above any other Clyde player.
  9. Hopefully we release the footage of Edinburgh's goal yesterday. Was it really a "good" goal or were we all correct in thinking it was offside.
  10. We should look back to when Edinburgh City etc were heralded as replacing the "dead wood" teams like East Stirlingshire or Berwick Rangers. I can never remember these so called dead wood teams bringing so few supporters as Edinburgh did yesterday. We should note Edinburgh must be in their highest league position in their existence and still only bring almost single figure away support. If I recall correctly they didn't bring much more to Broadwood for the play offs.
  11. Someone needs to explain to Jim Duffy it's three times as many points for a win as it is for a draw.
  12. When can we talk about Kyle Doherty? I see a player that can't hold the ball up, can't beat a man, doesn't win high balls and doesn't get into threatening positions. Admittedly he is provided with little of any quality from his team mates He's signed for next season too Time for Martin Rennie to play through the middle?
  13. I've just had a look at the table for the owners' MotM points for the season so far. Three of the top four no longer play for Clyde. Rico Quitongo has more points after two appearances than Euan Cameron after eighteen.
  14. I wonder how the supporters who looked to Open Goal Broomhill as an example of a well run aspirational club playing at Broadwood are feeling tonight. I wonder where they'll be in a years time?
  15. Any word on Rennie's injury? His knee looked pretty swollen when he came off on Saturday.
  16. Personally, I can't recall ever shouting abuse at a Clyde player. I've felt like it many times but it's not in my nature to do so. In saying that, I've booed many Clyde teams of the park. Does abuse make Clyde players function better? Absolutely not. Does getting their frustrations out make the supporter feel a wee bit better? Probably. Is it realistic to expect as football crowd to applaud politely when we score or shout, "Hard luck Scully" when we score an own goal? No It's a football crowd. Not tennis at Wimbledon. I enjoy football partially because of the adrenaline filled tension. It's like pantomime for angry adults. That's the reality of football crowds. If players relatives get upset by comments from fans they shouldn't go to the match. Alternatively they should have encouraged their child to join a swimming, athletics or horse riding club.
  17. If you're a relative of a footballer, particularly a poor one, and you cannot suffer hearing insults aimed at your beloved maybe you should just stay at home. Supporters pay an entry fee to express their feelings, good or bad. Relatives of players probably get complimentary tickets. Hence, they should sit down, brace themselves and shut their entitled mouths.
  18. I make it one win in fifteen for Jim Duffy since her took over. There's no way the board can justify giving him an extension into next season.
  19. I'm absolutely looking forward to Saturday's game. Christ! We actually have a chance of winning a football match.
  20. We've had two experienced managers this season and we've not won a league match since August. I doubt whether having Stephen Swift as assistant manager will make our performances any worse. Perhaps we may even improve with his input. If we go down it's certainly not caused by Swift being our assistant.
  21. Had he been a scapegoat or has he just been poor? Criticism of Parry pales in comparison with the criticisms of Lyons, Thicot and Cameron. The simple fact is all have been pretty awful this season.
  22. Just read the chairman's message. Which one of you has upset him?
