East Calder Lion

I don't like the way he says "us" when talking about getting back up. I won't be going to any games if he is still at the club next season.

I can't see how Martindale can be given the job of bringing any of these players through. He does not have to technical competence or the required emotional intelligence to do so. We are going to need someone who knows how to introduce young players into the team and develop them.

Wasn't as boring as I expected - ultimately not in a good way though.

Anyone bothered?

Obileye was never a centre back, came to us as a midfielder. Just another one on Martindale's brain farts to put him in defence. Wouldn't be surprised if Holt and Brandon have relegation clauses that could see them off as well during the summer leaving us with no Premiership or Championships level players. A double relegation is a distinct possibility.

I am currently abroad on holiday. I had some chap come up asking to take a photo of me for their dissertation! I left school at 15 so no idea what this dissertation shit is all about.

You are not going to get that with Clarke.

Fitzwater is definitely a big miss for us. We haven't got anywhere near replacing him in lots of ways.

I hope Montano is fit enough to start, could have him in instead of Nouble.

One of the most dis-heartening things about last night was seeing Anderson become increasingly frustrated with poor quality of service. As the midfield just disappeared into defence the gap between them and Anderson became too great for any coherent build up play involving him. Why was Sean Kelly taking free kicks into the box instead of being in the box himself? Bizarre.

Relegation and behind the scenes turmoil. Can see a few years in the wilderness on the horizon.

We have been shite in this half. Relegation a certainty now.

I admire your optimism.

All over now. Chance to visit one or two grounds I've not been to next season

That missed penalty might just be the lucky break that saves our season.

Was that the one where St.Mirren scored in the first minute or so and Robinson rounded off our scoring with an effort almost from the corner flag?

I wonder which ex-Livi player will knock us out.

Sore one.

Pity. For me Shinnie detracts from our mobility in midfield.

Not a bad first half for us. Hopefully Shinnie stays on the bench.

Interesting line up. If we can get MacKay and Brandon into advanced positions there might be something there for us tonight.

When a team of professional footballers go 90 minutes without managing to muster a single attempt at goal or even winning a corner such as our lot on Saturday then it really is all over.

So Martindale says he will still be manager on game 38 no matter what. I think he and Rice need to go now. Some people thinking there was something positive in last night's performance, I don't agree, particularly once you reflect on where Ross County are in the league and the run they have been on. Martindale has ruined Anderson, St.Kelly and Bradley, how much more damage will he do between now and the end of the season?

Hopefully this is Martindale's last game.
