Enough is enough. Time for McCall and his equally clueless assistants to go.

Don't agree, but with Dundee + Greenock next, minimum 4 points or we are probably out of it completely.
Okay - so less than 4 points from those two games and then you’ll change your mind about keeping him as manager?

McCall out.

Have the Ayr fans and players dried their eyes yet?
Moaned at every decision like wee whiny girls.
Beat team won. Onwards and upwards.

Anything less than 3 points and McCall and his 2 assistants must be sacked.

Apologies and a bit off topic, but I'm thinking of going down to this.
How easy is it to park/drive to Firhill? Been before but went on the train, but need to get back to Dundee for around 7-8pm!
Plenty on street parking near the ground on Garscube Road. Don’t park in any of the industrial estates unless you want your car tanned. 10 mins from the M8 so you should easily be back in Dundee for that time.

Tomorrow night’s game may be the most important before the split.
I agree. And I don’t think the players are mentally strong enough to carry the pressure that brings. Home win and effectively the end of the campaign.

Hard to argue with this. What is the worst crime here is how unfit and unprepared we are compared to part time teams. We have all day every day to identify an effective system and get it drilled into a first team. All day to work of fitness, stamina, skills, such as passing to their own team. Practice hitting a target even. The players can be seen driving into training anything between back of 9 and are all gone come 12. I'm not starting rumours but I've never seen McCall arrive or leave training. I'm not in the area every single day but have seen the car park emptying at 12 and have seen both assistants. Just wondering if our manager ever takes training. I might be and probably am naive to such things but what does a manager do at this level if the coaching team do the training.
From the style of play you can see that it is Archibald that is in charge at training. It’s the same unadventurous side to side slow cautious rubbish that was played post top 6. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had a role in recruitment as well, as most recent signings are truly awful.
McCall, Archibald and Scally need sacking today to try and salvage the season.0 -

I'm getting closer and closer to the McCall out camp with every passing week.
He's now had more games than Caldwell and he has taken us several steps backwards from what was already a shambolic position.
My only fear about punting him would be the likelihood of either Archie or Gerry taking over til the end of the season or them giving it to Graham and Foster in the interim.
Archie would be punted with McCall. You can see from the shape and tactics the influence that Archibald has - side to side, overly cautious, backwards play, fill the squad with players who are past their prime or just talentless, plus blind loyalty to players such as Bannigan who are clearly beyond their best days.

McCall and his halfwit assistants should be sacked tonight. No question. The team has gone backwards since they arrived and he has assembled a squad of absolute donkeys.

F*** off McCall.

One would have hoped that the management team would have spent the last 3 months on tactics and a game plan that didn’t produce the turgid rot that we had served up in the first 10 games.
But no. Same again. No pace, no creativity, no oomph up front and a leaky defence. And the new geriatric signings won’t help.
McCall and the two dumplings beside him in the dugout must be creaming themselves safe in the knowledge that they won’t be sacked since the club is so skint.

Excellent. Signed a defender. When everyone, except McCall apparently, can see we desperately need someone who can score goals.
Good work, Ian.

Close down the lower leagues cos that’s where the risk of infections lies?
what teams have all had to self isolate or had outbreaks?
Sellick, St Mirren, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock.
All premier league teams.
So the wee diddy teams have been sacrificed for the transgressions of the “elite”.

One of the WAT experts has cracked it - we’re shit because we’ve had to rebuild the squad. Not because we’ve got shit players or a shit management team.

I’d be upset if it was a good player that we’re now deprived of for the next couple of days. It’s only Rudden. No great loss.

Another blank up front. McCall really has built a squad of utter mince. And it’s not a new problem - he’s had a long time to deal with it. Loser.

So if I’m reading the Fan Ownership piece in the Evening Times correctly, the fans Foundation gets a seat at the board table but the current board and Ms Low stay on?
Excellent. Really can’t see why some fans have an objection to it.........

McCall and Archibald know that they’re in the job till the end of the season regardless of what happens, as we’ve no money to pay them off. Questionable if we have money to sign strikers in January. Not that I would trust McCall with any new signings as he’s built another duff squad devoid of pace and goal scorers. The fan ownership piece should just be quietly dropped as it will be the end of the club if it happened.

We were unbelievably wasteful today. A Thistle penalty (which was never a penalty in the first place) was once again saved, no surprises there and the rebound was which a total sitter, was blasted over the bar.
We missed countless other chances, Dumbarton offered very little all game so it is a good point for them. Cove Rangers and Airdrie both lost today, even though we have went above Airdrie we could have drawn level with Cove. Thankfully the January window is only just over three weeks away, some signings certainly needed.
Two points dropped, no two ways about it.
I wouldn’t trust McCall and his trusty assistants to sign anyone decent - they’ve built a complete dud of a squad.

Absolute shower of shite. But hey, Jackie’s chosen few will bring us fan ownership and all will be well again.

if McCall goes then it's 100% a stick on that Archibald will be back in the dugout for the rest of the season with Scally (unless he goes too in which case SP will be back) as his assistant. Not much point, plus it might be a non starter if paying him off would be too expensive right now. Pretty much just need to count on him sorting this shitshow out. Dropping certain out-of-form players would be a start.
The 3 of them need to go imo. Whilst I appreciate it will cost a pretty penny, we cannot afford to go down and at this moment in time, we’re bang on relegation form.

And that’s a perfect example of why the club is where it is today. Being satisfied with a goalless draw against Cove ffs. Or not kicking off because they beat us. Loser attitude in the boardroom, chief exec office, dugout and changing room. And now it seems on the terraces as well.

Regardless of the timing, it’s the right decision. The last couple of league games have been dreadful.
Looking forward to having a management team who just don’t ship in Old Firm youngsters on loan every window and give contracts to duffers like Smith and Mullen.
