I wouldna imagine anyone at the club would be happy looking on watching the fitba product at the moment but we are where we are and need to get to the end of the season and THEN have thorough review of where we are going. Not convinced sacking the manager is the answer and probably lines me for some bile from everyone’s least favourite Cove troll who seems to be taking a break from wishing people dead. Maybe everyone knows who he is now .

I’m led to believe the club and directors are more than aware of who this person is, they have a long history of posting with false names and a similar theme of nasty personal attacks against club directors, volunteers, and perhaps worst of all our own fans who were assaulted at Airdrie through absolutely nae fault of their own. It’s not gone unnoticed for the best part of 4 years now. It generally is ignored for what it is. The collective Cove Rangers family who get pleasure and enjoyment from watching 22 loons kick a fitba aboot for 90 minutes can only urge the individual to seek professional help for what clearly is a very unhealthy obsession with our manager, his family and anyone else connected to the running of the club.

Here here! If it isn’t wishing injuries on a young player who moved his family up to Aberdeen to further his career it’s wishing death on other human beings or crude personal insults. How lovely. It’s the same individual who was on Facebook and they seemed to have found a new home on here. I’m told the club is aware of who it is and like we should do, chooses to ignore it for the trash it is. Have an opinion sure, but when it’s about wishing harm on others it kinda takes it to a different level.

Can there be anything more toxic than wishing continued injury on a young player (Josh Kerr) as you did in a previous post? Ive no real beef with your criticism of the board as the club can be a bit insular at times and it does all feel it’s an oil industry jolly, but it’s the exact same at other local clubs so you need to get over that It seems deeply personal and unhealthy.

Some fairly personal criticism of the board and sponsors etc from a few individuals who know very little about what’s really going on at the club or know the individuals they are talking about. Most Cove fans who travel home and away are aware that most of the directors are there for the love of the club and have been since the HL days. Clubs with a small fan base and a collection of volunteers to run the stadium will form a clique! It’s just natural but it seems to wind up a few individuals. It’s also not a crime to sponsor several clubs at different levels as those who remember Bon Accord Glass will know. As some of the more rational fans have pointed out, securing full time players who are at a level of the part time ones we have been fortunate to attract or who have been here since the HL is simply not possible. It could be 3-4 seasons before the whole hybrid to full time beds in but the ambition of Championship football is there and that can only be sustained at a FT level. That won’t be acceptable to the trolls mind you. Players winding down their careers have come to Cove but it’s never been on ‘big money’ most already had settled on a career out of football. Personally speaking the football product hasn’t been consistent this season and the reliance on one player who is head and shoulders above anyone else is telling when that individual is injured. He will be extremely difficult to replace and I suspect the progress is probably one position in the league lower than it could be or wanted to be at this stage, but everyone knew Falkirk were strong with some very talented younger players who will go onto top level football. Third place and a decent chance of the playoffs at this stage in the grander scheme of things is acceptable. I don’t defend them blindly, I seriously questioned the sacking of Jim McIntyre and the development of younger players under the current manager but the way some of our ‘fans’ go on they really need to start following another club! Shouting for a new manager every 5 minutes or abusing club officials isn’t going to bring stability to a club who needs to consolidate its position, grow the fanbase and become less reliant on directors.

I know. Silly me

Were you there tonight? If you are a fan we can actually do without you.

That’s offensive.
