Ha ha! Good yin. Mind you I could take issue with 'rid of a couple', I was thinking more 9 or 10 myself.

I take it you have never heard of 'Jarndyce -vs- Jarndyce'!

You're exaggerating a bit surely? They're not that good.

I would throw in Danny De Vita, One-Goal-A-Season-Mansell, Joker Jones, and Sumo Harkins as an incentive. Oh and Long John Austin with his wooden leg, too. Possibly with pop Robson as the parrot on his shoulder.

Couldnt have put it better myself.

I don't know where you get your optimism from.

I feel your pain mate. Frankly I thought that this was the sort of thing that only Jags fan would do!

Think the problem with Gordon is that he's rarely noticeable at all. Big disadvantage starting with 10 men. Mansell on now, so it looks like 'knock it up to the big lad'. Only 'the big lad' is a carthorse.

Sadly, I think thing is true, though I don't think even Bunter can improve the lump of wood that is Mansell. I'd keep Cole possibly.

I hope you're right. It frightens the shengus out of me that he really believes there is the making of a good squad in there.

Liked the two previous posts, not lot to argue about - quite the contrary. High spots: 'Bambi on Ice.; agree Palmer - must be wondering what he's done to upset Bunter if he cant get a game; De VIta summed up perfectly in first post, a 'never-has-been'; 'occasionally threatens to look decent before reverting '; Austin serving Fosters in Walkabout. What a shower of duds (mainly). I trust Bunter has the P45s written out already, just waiting to hand them out.

Nor is Ian McCall's, following your logic.

Yes, I was in the JLS and thought we were lucky to get the penalty. I felt most refs wouldn't have given it. It looked like the only way we would have scored hence, really, 3-1 flattered us.

Here’s one grumpy seething old man’s view: ‘We sucked the atmosphere right out of the crowd with poor play.’ And: ‘Sloppy ... playing balls that weren’t on ... just took the atmosphere out of Firhill.’ And again: 'Our fans are here and want to see it here and we haven’t given them it.’ Horrible old c--t; his name is Ian McCall. I reckon there should be a sign up saying: ‘Warning! Punters must not expect to be entertained.’

I knew it all along, there nohiing wrong with the players … it's the fans that are causing our poor performances.

3-1 flattered us. We started with eight men, count Gordon, Danny De Vito, and Robson missing in action. All of whom (plus a good few others) I hope will be missing come January. Bunter said 'everyone will get a chance'; I hope the aforementioned have had their last one. Not taking away anything from Arbroath's text book lesson in how to take 3 easy points at Firhill without really breaking sweat. No changes there, sadly, from the previous incumbent.

I hope the honeymoon between Bunter and that useless shower of sht1te is over; hopefully most of that shower will be cleared out in January and then start the rebuilding proper. I retract my earlier opinion about Goodwillie - if he had an ounce of sense or self-respect he wouldn't touch us with a bargepole.

Surprised, and slightly disappointed, at Zanatta being benched.

F-ck off, Niz. Stick with Lewis one-goal-a-season Mansell, then.

On an entirely different tack, we seem to still be struggling for strikers at present. Perhaps we could do worse than sign Goodwillie from our former tenants in January. Scored a decent amount with a team with mediocre result and sitting midtable. Think how much that would annoy the Bully Wee Clyde! They were spitting feathers a few weeks ago when they thought we were bookies' favourite to steal Lennon!!

Interesting responses, thanks. I still fail to see how if floodlights are ok for the Champions League, they might not be for Junior football! Still that's what I like about Junior football!!

To be fair, there hasn't been much criticism of him as a coach (quite the opposite); as a scout, the jury is out. He's brought in some appalling duds and crocks, but picked the odd decent one too. When it come to interpersonal skills, still a pound shop David Brent.

I was sure there was some 'official' reason for it, because I am equally sure that we once hosted a midweek evening cup game,as a neutral venue. Might have ben the Lok. The explanation I was given was that you could use floodlights in Cups but not in league games. There was a kind of grain of truth in that. As Coyote says it's not normally a problem for us though there was one very wet season not that long ago where we had a bit of a backlog.

Inverclyde bathed in an eternal heavenly glow?! We never use them for some strange reason.

Official site says we won 1-0. Would like to see Cole and Zanatta starting.
