A few changes to the team I'd want us to stick out this week. - Kinnear - - Cuddihy - Hamilton - Howie - Lyon - - Leitch - Ballantyne - Grant - Scullion - - Young - Allan - I've obviously set the above out as a 442 but ideally you'd want Leitch and Scullion to play higher and Young and Allan to play off of each other with one coming short. It really is time to get Rennie out the team. He's so ineffective and imho McCall has persisted with him for too long. He just mopes about, barely engaging with the game and the excuse of 'well he's normally good for a goal' is well gone. Connor Young showed more in his brief cameo against Stenny than Rennie showed the full rest of the game and I feel like Young and Allan would really suit playing together. I'd also be temped to pull Howie out of the team and replace him with Sula after his insane, goal-conceding, two-point-dropping antics last weekend. I also really like Logan Dunachie and would be more than happy with him replacing Cuddihy at right back.

No shit As far as I can remember he was an Associate Director dealing with the commercial side of things very briefly. I don't know too much about it but I can't imagine being an associate director of the club in 2020 would be a fun or fruitful undertaking. He moved on to bigger and better things with Stenhousemuir and clearly knows how to market a club well, something that Clyde clearly didn't take advantage of. He now has several years more experience and someone like Ian could and should be trusted fully with that aspect of the club.

Very happy with the Maitland announcement. Both on and off the park, with the exception of the promotion season (although they certainly tried their hardest to ruin that one with the Fitzpatrick situation), the last decade-and-a-bit have been a real shambles for Clyde. I know the board are volunteers, but jeezo it's been incredibly taxing. Mistake after mistake, idiotic decision after idiotic decision. There's no other way to put it, we've become utterly pathetic. However, the past few months have indicated that with real, competent leadership in place we can maybe begin to re-establish a bit of pride in the club. There's obviously no way of knowing, but if we somehow manage to survive this season I think having Allan at the helm gives us a real platform to build on. If we stay up and McCall leaves, I'd trust him to put a solid management team in place. Even in the increasingly likely scenario that we are relegated into the Lowland League, whilst it will be the biggest low point in the clubs entire history and the deserved culmination of a period of dire mismanagement, at least we have someone I feel confident in to spearhead the club going forward. ALSO it seems that Ian Fitzpatrick is standing down from his role as CMO at Stenhousemuir. I'd imagine he'd be wanting to take a wee break but we should be bursting to get Ian involved with the club - he's done a really terrific job at Stenny and one look at their social media/marketing output from his team in the past few years coupled with the fact he's a Clyde fan should be reason enough to pull out all the stops.

A - The yellow one isn't nearly as bad as folk are saying. Calm down. I don't want it though, because it's a Cumbernauld Colts jersey. B - The blue option is just this season's puma trainingwear worn by most Puma teams. They were selling Clyde versions in the store but the players never wore them. The black version is nice, not sure why we don't just use that. To be honest, Puma teamwear options are normally crap.

Honestly, who cares about Jimmy Choo. Mute him, mute his burners, mute any account you suspect may be a burner. He's literally just some silly auld dweeb who's starved of attention irl. BAMO, Block And Move On, as Limmy would say.

FTFY

A referee is a nerd whether they're on the park or sitting in an office I agree with both of you, down with VAR etc. It's much better that the mistake is made by the nerd on the park as opposed to being a comedy of errors by many nerds. 'Say 'nerd' again' Nerd

Yeah honestly I think he's a very good player, and had he been played consistently in his more natural position I'd imagine we'd probably have seen a very different Alex King. However, not to be.

He's very much playing like a guy that has no skin in the game. To be honest, it's hard to blame him. He's needlessly being played out of position. No matter how badly he plays at left back, he keeps getting turned out there despite the fact that a) we could probably do with his delivery higher up the park and b) we have a perfectly serviceable speciality left back on the bench

Are you ok?

It’s a red card every day of the week. He’s jumped in, both feet off the ground, studs up, head height, not really near the ball. I’m not sure why anyone would think that it isn’t a sending off, especially folk that seen it happen in real time.

Same - from the outside, he's quite literally a caricature of the most unlikable guy you can possibly think of. A man in his mid-40's that dresses like a 13 year old, is terminally online, and seems to have no discernible talent other than having the financial means to surround himself with people who have the required skills. He's not a 'bad guy' or that, just incredibly irritating. He looks like he lives off Elf Bars and Prime. He's basically a Scottish Lower League version of Wayne Lineker. Like someone read a book called 'What will rub most people up the wrong way' and built him in a lab. I also have to caveat this with the fact that I've met him several times and played against his Colville Park team and he's been brand new. Genuinely sound as f**k. He obviously knows the way he presents himself gets a reaction and annoys folk and he leans into it. I cannot imagine why he'd want to take a job in the leagues. I said this when he was being touted (clearly by himself) for the Clyde job. He'd get found out rapid. EK's method this season has been extraordinary. I read somewhere that they've used almost 40 players. That can almost be excused if injuries have meant that he's had to dig in to the youth academy, but with every injury it seems like they've just went out and bought someone else. You just can't do that at a team like Clyde, or any team in the SPFL for that matter. EK's season has basically played out like a joke, like some kind of hyper-Darvel. With all that in mind, I'd absolutely love to see EK go up this season (although PLEASE not at the expense of Clyde ffs). It'd be like some kind of social experiment. I'm absolutely dying to see what MK does when he simply doesn't have unlimited resources.

Amazingly, 'BullyWeeClydeFc' has downvoted all of my recent posts on here in the last hour. Spectacularly petty in the most cringeworthy way, you simply must tip your hat.

My team for the weekend would be: - Kinnear - - Cuddihy - Hamilton - Howie - McGinn - - Grant - Ballantyne - - Leitch - Rennie - King - - Allan - For me, Cuddihy is a better right back than he is a centre midfielder, and he's a better right back than Ross Lyon. Although Lyon has been fine of late, I still think he's one of our weakest points. Howie is a better player than Sula, he's been shaky but so has Sula. Leitch at 10 is an option, but I wouldn't want to pull Rennie out the team. Happy to be proven wrong! I don't think bringing Lyon or Sula in makes the team too much worse. Whatever happens, this is the most important game of the season and we simply have to win.

Enjoyed the 'Some of the staff haven't conducted themselves well' bit. Wonder who he could possibly have been referencing?!
