Mon the Clyde! They never make it easy, do they? Not convinced by this squad (aside from 3 or 4) or McCall but I do trust Maitland so let's see what happens next season. Can't wait to see EK get absolutely pumped off Stranny.
Roll on next season....

Going to this hopefully to witness Clyde finish bottom
Salivating more over Clyde finishing bottom than your own team just winning a game of footy? Weirdo.

Any particular boozers in Elgin which are walkable to/from the stadium anyone would recommend? Might need a few to steady the nerves pre-match.

1-0 going on 4 or 5. Another reminder we should be nowhere near the bottom of the league with this squad. Same again next week please!

The frustrating thing is that since McCall came in, there are at least 4/5 games where Clyde should have won or got at least a point and shouldn’t be relying on these 2 games…
Shoulda woulda coulda...bottom line is we've mostly been absolutely awful the entire season. We do now have a squad of players who are more than capable of beating any team in this league but as we have so often seen, their lack of urgency and fight is usually the defining factor when we drop points.
No more hiding or finger pointing. Time to just get the job done.

Are you the mystery benefactor? @Johnny Worm

Maybe yellow is the mystery benefactor's favourite colour and was one of the stipulations for continuation of funds? That and Thomson remaining as Chairman of course. Let's not forget that belter...

What is so difficult about a white home top and either red, black or combination of the two for the away? At least they got the home kit sorted for next year but they seem determined to eff up what should be a relatively simple operation. Keep the outlandish shit for the 3rd strip if/when there is one.
I know there are more pressing matters at the moment like our league status and very existence but anything to distract us from that is vey much welcome at the moment!

Away options were in the programme yesterday. The yellow one is horrific.
Are those the only two options? Both absolutely awful. The blue one looks like a goalkeeper top and the yellow...well, least said the better.

Been quick to avoid a repeat of the carry on with the home strip for next year.
The Allan Maitland effect in full swing - nice. I see we're also going to be invited to vote on the away strip soon. I think brown might be appropriate given it's the colour my underwear has almost turned on more Saturdays than I care to remember of late.

I can just imagine McCall's pre-match team talk next Saturday...
"Right lads, *yawn*, erm...who we playing again? Oh aye... that's right. Well, good luck, and mind we're running out of games so don't lose. Where are we in the league again?"
Inspiring.

It does sadly......he'll get the blame if we finish 10th and the Board will be delighted at the deflection.
I don't think he will get the blame which is partly why he seems so blasé about it all. In fairness, I don't think he is the main problem right now anyway.
If our players are waiting for McCall to get them going that's on them as much as anyone else. Don't they have any professional integrity or just natural will to win? How did they become professional footballers in the first place to apparently just go through the motions when staring relegation in the face? It's frustrating and baffling in equal measure.

I'm never a fan of his interview style, but this one really stuck in my craw. He just comes across like he's running down his contract and waiting to move on at the end of the season and whatever happens to Clyde happens.
I don't think he gives a damn whether we stay up or not. If we do go down, he can play the "sinking ship" card and say Duffy had already killed the club by the time he arrived. Everything about his demeanor suggests he thinks we should be grateful he's even bothering with us.

What are the players carrying knocks being protected from in the last game of the season?
Two weeks in Magaluf?

Based on what exactly. If you can't find a team mate under no pressure whatsoever and continue to lose goals from corners I fail to see where the optimism comes from.
The fact that we have beaten both teams before during this season, the 6-1 against Stenhousemuir...there are definitely a few actual footballers in the squad who are more than capable of winning these final two games. Will they turn up and prove it? Well, that remains to be seen...hence my "blind optimism".

Nice to see McCall yawning away at the start of the post match interview. Maybe this relaxed attitude from the gaffer would explain why half our team seem half asleep during games.
Also encouraging to see he might have actually finally looked at the league table although he thought there was a two point gap between us and Stranraer and had to be corrected. Encouraging signs!

You could be right, however Stranraer haven't won any of their last 7, so seems unlikely they will win their last 2.
However I have no confidence that we will avoid bottom spot, for me we had to win today.
I agree that Stranraer are very unlikely to win both their remaining games. If we assume that to be the case then today wasn't a must win. In all honesty, of the three remaining fixtures I thought the Stenny game was the least likely of the three for us to pick up points. They're league winners for a reason.
Probably just blind hope more than anything but I still believe this team are capable of winning the remaining two games which should be enough given our shared theory on Stranraer.

Although we don't necessarily need to win next week if Stranraer get spanked I just can't see us getting anything out of the Elgin game so in that sense, yes...it's a must win for me. The first of the season!

I just want this season over. Not finding much fun at the football right now.
Right now? I haven't found much fun at the football for about 3 years and even then it was mostly fleeting. It's a minor miracle we have any fans left.

Not a complete disaster thanks mainly to Dumbarton not losing but heaps the pressure onto next week where a win really is a must.
I feel like we've been saying this for the entire season.

You could argue that given the money at his disposal and, by his own admission, an assistant in Scally whose knowledge of the players and game at this level was 2nd to none (by McCall's admission he did around 80% of the work) that it wasn't really about McCall at all.
Maybe we should be offering Scally the job? The cynic in me says that McCall's apology in that final interview is less honesty and more a great bit of PR to try an' secure a lucrative job offer for next season. If the Mystery Benefactor is still kicking about and willing to invest, McCall could probably expect to get a salary closer to that of a full time Championship manager rather than a L2 jobber. He ain't daft.
