Ye Olde Hamiltonian

The issue isn’t so much as being second, but being so far adrift. Falkirk would still be top, but the gap would not be anywhere as big. Rankin’s home record in particular in this League is reason enough for his P45 whatever happens tomorrow.

Apparently Zengin’s men aka John Brown etc have been working at the club for over a month now, but no official confirmation of the sale of the Stadium Company. Disgraceful that McGowan et al will walk away with a seven figure sum paid for by Hull City’s owners… if true of course.

I sat in the Main Stand when we beat you guys 2-0 not so long ago and the fans were very restrained, maybe even resigned to what they were watching. If that was the Accies home crowd,those there would have been going bonkers and I say that as I remember our fans going bonkers when the Old Firm scored against us at home with the then Managers Canning then Rice getting pelters.

Boy isn’t an Accies fan as he stated himself. As bright as that Branch guy some of the Bairns. Would be funny though if our worst Manager in 25 years gets us out of this League first time asking.

There are interviews from yesterday on Accies Facebook page; as for ‘match highlights’, we couldn’t do them in the top League, so no chance in The Seaside Leagues.

Accies as usual should have been ahead first half with QOS coming into it second half, although their shooting was akin to not hitting a cow’s posterior with a banjo. Hastie on again as a Sub, hits the bar,plays well and then we have a sending off and game fizzles out. Queens players were geeing each other up and their desire made up for the lack of quality, so they deserved at least a point. Contrast that to Accies: guy near me shouts at the team and Tumilty to show a bit of urgency at 0-0 to be met with a glaring stare from Tumilty. Couple of minutes later Tumilty blasts the ball as hard as he can into Section A where the guy was sitting/standing. The aforementioned sums up the contrasting attitude of both teams: QOS with limited, hard working guys doing their best to get out of their predicament, while our primadonnas with their toys out the pram at justified criticism. The majority of this squad and Management can get in the bin as far as most Accies fans are concerned.

I’d take him at Accies as he knows how to use his resources wisely unlike our scatter-gun current Manager.

Yep, go on holidays together and best buddies.

This guy is a great friend of mine: an Accies supporter who moved from Hamilton to Carlisle; his boy Harry plays for Queens Under 18’s and he sponsors Annan as well as having a long-standing Hospitality Box at Carlisle. He is ambitious in both his business and in football, although I would have liked him coming on the Board at Accies.

Heard earlier from a friend of one of the Board that Hull City putting up the money for buying The Stadium and in return they get first refusal on any players/ youngsters we sell on. Also talk of a pre season tournament to mark the 150th Anniversary with Accies,Hull City and 2 foreign teams.

How has big Joel been getting on? Quite a few Accies punters roasted him,but they also roasted Dylan Tait and Joe McGlynn…if only there was a link to all three eh? I don’t think he is as bad as some of our fans made him out to be and would do a job for plenty League 1/2 teams.

I’ve heard a Company called Halls? are putting up cash for buying The Stadium. Some of Serif’s men already working at The Stadium. However,there are quite a few whispers doing the rounds McGowan still has control of The Spice of Life Stand which is hard to believe tbh. Apparently that was why Stirling fans were not located behind the goal. All Chinese whispers of course.

I never buy anything from “The Catering” at Accies as it has been rank for the last 2 seasons. One thing I would like to see change under Serif is an improvement here and it has been mentioned at Fans Forums. There are plenty of great local businesses who would do the job including Pieman from Wishaw Juniors who has just stepped down from there and he offered his services to Accies in the past, but they preferred to use companies from outwith the area-like the current mob. The fact he is an Accies fan as well and would keep prices reasonable makes this a no-brainer.

With the stuff I am hearing off the park about Investors behind the scenes I highly doubt that. However,keep this Manager and we will be here another 1-2 years even with investment. The question is when does loyalty become blind loyalty as we are witnessing at the moment. Eventually they will realise they are backing the wrong horse and if he was sacked as he should have been when losing 5-0 at Cappielow, we wouldn’t even be in this League.

That tinpot club beat you in a Play Off I remember to consign you to a decade in the lower divisions while we were winning at Ibrox(x2),Parkhead,beating Hibs,Hearts, and Dundee United all considerably bigger clubs than you.
