  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I can see Accies now going on a decent winning run as there is no real pressure now we can’t even really fcuk up getting into the Play Offs. However,once the pressure is on Rankin will revert to type as will some of these players.
  4. Don’t even think there is a Match thread such is the way it is now. Good result, but the way the Board will look at it is that he is now unsackable. The damage was done from December to end of February, so no dancing in the streets of Hamilton West here.
  5. As I was saying on Sunday. The fact certain people will make money out of this sale sums up everything that has been wrong with our club for many years. However,unless it also involves getting rid of “ Hawdit & Dawdit” from the dugout, it will be a glass half-empty measure as people are sick of this Charlatan in the Dugout with plenty Season Book holders not even attending the last few home games which sums up the frustration.
  6. Well bellend, we sold nearly 1,000 Season Tickets and that was with folk moaning about the prices and with no option to split the payments. If you read my posts on here, you will see why the Accies home support can vary wildly and it is all to do with the contentious relationship between The Club and Fans. We have had decades of Owners castigating supporters and that leads to the aforementioned along with long losing runs. Crowd versus Cove just after New Year was 1400+, so by the reckoning here, there were 750 Cove fans in the away end.
  7. I was in the Main Stand for the recent game against my team and everyone was tut-tutting in the toilet at the lack of soap…there wasn’t any. As for Accies, obviously the aim would be to get back to the top flight since we have had 2 spells there in the last 16 years. However, that is more difficult now I feel with bigger clubs getting their act together, plus the fact we lost over 50% of our fanbase during the Canning years and many of these people still haven’t returned. Whatever League we are in, we need to reconnect with locals and try to get more kids and lapsed fans into the fold. We also need to keep the Youth system going as there is nothing the Accies support like more than seeing kids come through the system and either become first team regulars or move up the ladder. That is one of my biggest bugbears with John Rankin as he was a highly rated Youth Coach at Hearts and has completely abandoned the Youth at Accies refusing to give many of them a deserved chance.
  8. Never even checked the score as that is how I feel at the moment and I feel sorry for those who once again were let down. Listening to his Post Match Interview and I thought for a second it was Canning/Rice talking after an away game at the Old Firm and not a team in this League fighting for survival. He should have had his jotters after that 5-0 defeat at Cappielow last season as it was plainly obvious then he was clueless. One point from 12 is surely meeting The Club Supremo’s KPI’s.
  9. Feck this; pile of ironing to do and Dogs Behaving Badly on the TV.
  10. I give you QOS decline and raise you Accies. Three years ago we were playing Rangers off the park and now we would struggle to beat Berwick Rangers. The decline of both clubs and the halving of both supports is due to bad decisions made in the Boardroom at both QOS/Accies.
  11. Hearing there is a Meeting today which may prove pivotal to the long term future of the club. Basically Zengin is putting his cards on the table with an offer to buy out The Stadium Company. Hence why McGowan was floating around the place on Saturday, although he was heard to say he wishes Serif well going forward… make of that what you will.
  12. He brought duds on before him last week at Falkirk, eventually bringing him on in the 88th minute which sums Rankrotten Rankin up to a tee.
  13. That’s not what I was referring to. The laughable part is a full-time squad of 31 players with 1 home win in last 6; dropped points against 4 part-time clubs in that run and 12 points dropped at home against part-timers made even worse with the part-time sides looking fitter. PS, results and performances would take an immediate upturn due to players knowing their position,players needing dropped being dropped and a settled team. We watch this pish; we have a bigger squad now than in the Premier 3 years ago.
  14. Yep,O’Hara as I have said all season would be a good back up and not the main man. Three years ago he wouldn’t have got on our bench but we are where we are. Well done Alloa,it is getting laughable now.
