Come home Holt. KTID

Heard he sacked Holt in the build up to the goal too, special powers given to him by the board for the game. Good day all round

Oh Christ maybe you’re right. I thought the Patrons (mid sized part of the 3 legged stool approach) swallowed up B4L. If that’s wrong then aye no problem at all with asking the money be spent on a specific position

I think Sergeant has a point. It was maybe fine when the group wasn’t part of the board, for them to rustle up some money for the January transfer window and ask for it to be spent on 1 striker etc etc. But now that they’re a key part of the board I’m not sure they should be dictating what money gets spent where by the football side of the club? Very dodgy imo.

Direct quote from Rennie in FH. Given Sheerin’s contacts included Aberdeen, Aberdeen and Aberdeen, I’m hoping we see an immediate improvement on that front

Weren't their "optimistic" figures for "freedom day" til now absolutely wildly wrong? Soemthing crazy like 3x or more the deaths than what we actually had was their most optimistic? Sadly don't have the figures but why would we ever listen to their modelling ever again.

Aye that’s the one. Just looked it up, we went 13 november - 29 December with zero games. That’s why everyone crying over a couple of weeks of postponed games does my head in.

Well said imo. Matter of fact, there’s about to be absolutely loads of games called off for the next maybe 3–4 weeks. Whether the authorities can survive the moon howlers screaming “call ra leagues offff!” despite infinite time to rearrange (I remember when falkirk didn’t play for a literal month and a half because of snow about a decade ago) is another question.

East Fife fans, chances of PATG being announced tomorrow? Seems strange to have to buy online when we won't come close to selling out

There’s next to zero point in a new manager if it’s the same people recommending players that it was in the Summer. Holt and the head scout (is that Corzo?) will be those people in January. Let’s see what they manage

Excellent vaccine uptake means we’ll hopefully see a lot fewer deaths, and fewer hospitalizations, despite high cases. That has always been the end game for Covid and let’s hope that materializes with this variant. If we do see shutting down of things on any sort of similar scale as last year, loads will lose hope with vaccine drive. Many my age already feel very meh about getting the booster, given we all did our part a few months ago and now almost daily noises are we won’t be allowed in pubs again without boosters, despite not even having had the fecking chance to get one yet. Shutting football down would basically commit to shutting it down for years and decades to come, every winter. Covid is going nowhere, and there will be probably yearly variants. Vaccine uptake will never be higher, so imo it would be a very odd decision.

“What the f**k have I done?”

Would find it hard to ever go back if it happened.

Presume that means players won’t have trained this week and probably won’t til Thursday.....relegation battle by 5pm Saturday

I think Sturgeon making fairly clear that, if she had it her way, she'd have SHUT DOWN an entire business. Something that gives a huge number of people social interaction, company, joy, as well as employment, despite 90% of population + having 2 doses of an effective vaccine, all vulnerable given a THIRD dose, 2 years after Covid was first in the country.....if anything, I've seen an under reaction at her words today.

So Holt’s rap sheet includes *only* signing perma crock Williamson, flattered to deceive McCann, one of the worst CBs in my lifetime McKay, *re-signing* Ben Hall, utterly ineffectual Mcguffie, no goals Wilson, list probably goes on, including signing no other striker as they all turned him down......and he’s used that as a reason as to why he need stay?

Yikes.

Love the fact that they're so scared sh1tless of the variant, and how transmissible it is, that they think closing some non essential offices and potential extending of some vax passports will stop it, whilst clubs, pubs, restuarants, etc etc etc are still open. Really are led by utter utter clowns.

It's the biggest confirmation so far that Omicron isn't a serious threat (in terms of overwhelming the NHS), and it's pure politics. Ramping up the fear by *announcing* that ONE person has died with Omicron, whilst there's literally been hundreds of Covid deaths per day for months and months is quite....something. As a fairly rational and moderate person it makes me closer to toying with fucking conspiracy theories than I have ever been in my life!

Finally got a chance to listen to the Rennie podcast. I think it’s clear he’s happy working “under” someone - he talks extensively about how it’s important to have a club structure wherein a style of play is to be worked towards, and players are identified and profiled with that style in mind. Now, given the new people on the board are fans, you’d hope they’d know the person he’s working under simply cannot be Holt. The level of player he thinks is acceptable would have us in mid table league 2 within the next year or 2. What’s interesting me is who the board have in mind to replace Holt. Another important appointment

I’m not really having that. It’s a job for players. Should be allowed to do what the rest of us do. My problem with it is the utterly embarrassing mentality that says a large, cross border night out after 2 shameful, shameful performances is acceptable. Who are the leaders in that dressing room

8 days ago this lot beat us 6-0. Surely we can’t go lower

That’d be a good thing for us. At least the next game postponed and hopefully some new recruits in before Alloa away!

Honestly shadwell who’s taken over your account? Spoken nothing but decent sense for weeks

Anyone who thinks we have a squad to compete for the title need only look at Cove’s midfield and attack today. We are miles off it. Could be 4 or 5 today
