That's the guy!
Hang on, I've just seen our match preview. No Sean Crighton tomorrow. Oh Jesus. So we're going into this game with one natural centre-half? 18-year-old Gallagher Lennon, who has looked out of his depth since signing. Or with Mark Durnan, who hasn't played since October having to play for a full 90 minutes.
Praying Durnan is something close to being match ready. If he is, then I'd start him and Newbury together. And Blair Malcolm at left-back. If he's not? Well I've no idea really. Lennon and Newbury? Two centre-halves with a combined aged of 36 would be a giggle.
Get Healy a pair of platform Predators and we're sorted.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse I see that tomorrow 's ref is Scott Lambie.
Thank f*** I'm painting LWL's garden fence.

Presuming everyone from Forfar down are vulnerable, who do people want to finish bottom/go down?
I like away days to Elgin/Forfar/Stranraer so hope they stay up.
At this moment, Clyde offer very little. No home, no community value. Nothing against the fans but they'd be my first choice. Followed by Bonnyrigg. Junior ground, Junior pitch, Junior manager, Junior tactics.
The other way to look at is that lesser clubs than Clyde would have buckled long before now given their struggles since leaving Shawfield.
How about we agree that we'd like NO clubs to go this season rather than risk yet another pop-up outfit enter the league ?

Losing Brett Long was potentially the turning point for Dumbo. Hogarth may become a decent keeper but he is getting exposed pretty much every week at the moment.
Brett Long's injury hardly helped but Durnan's was equally damaging. Not just in losing the players but it highlighted the lack of cover we had at goalkeeper and in central defence.
Much is made of Farrell's recruitment success and whilst there have been notable individual signings like Ryan Wallace, Mikey Ruth, Finlay Gray and Carlo he has pretty much failed to produce a consistent and successful unit. And having a queue of signed midfielders this season with no central defensive and striking cover was hardly a balanced squad.
One thing's for sure; apart from the usual financial aspects, recruitment for next season is going to be a whole lot harder, and especially if Stevie Farrell remains in place.

Naw, just naw. I'll be painting a garden fence, no matter what the homeowner says.

The owners will run it into the ground regardless if the 400 Sons fans show up or not, they have starved the football side of the club of any progression for over a decade and are happy to let this particularly shit combo of MacKay and Farrell grind down the rest of it. I would back anyone withholding their money as a protest but I absolutely agree it's a hard thing to convince people of. I'm up for anything though, totally agree we can't continue sitting back saying nothing we can do.
Spot-on Moonster, and if anything the process of withholding money has already begun naturally as crowds have dropped to utter rock bottom. As I stated, people must make their own choices but those crowds and public interest are directly related to the on-field performances of the team and the general decline of the club and I defy anyone to claim otherwise.
It's not an act of God. It's an abject failure of ownership and craven local management in which mediocrity has become ingrained, and left unchecked it will take the club into the Lowland League. Why should we continue to subsidise it ?

Better to protest than not. A standpoint of inaction means he/they is/are free to continue doing as they please.
The hedgehog thinks it's doing the right thing by standing still in the road when a car comes.
The only protest which will register is a financial one. The club is utterly skint and Cognitive is the banker of last resort - neither will welcome a drop-off in income.
Having long assumed that Stevie Farrell is effectively Director of Football - I can think of no other club which would not have acted on his record even before last night's latest shitshow - I'm seriously considering not renewing my season ticket as a protest against the supporters being gaslighted, but each to their own.

I caught some recent footage of Biden last night. Is it just me or does he look as if he's aged ten years in the last month ?

Yeah, that was ritual humiliation. A complete embarrassment.
Defending that had to be seen to be believed and huge chances passed up at the other end. Not one of the players gets pass marks, every single one of them was abominable.
I said it a few weeks ago, there are a clutch of players in this team who look like they really struggle with football at League 2 level and every so often that gets exposed brutally. A better manager might be able to extract a tune from those lads but I guess that question is hypothetical, as Farrell is here to stay until the Rock melts with the sun.And on Farrell, obviously not helped by a defensive capitulation, but this clown honestly doesn’t help himself. Throwing on a clearly unfit Kalvin Orsi when we’re 4-0 down. Then allowing him to limp around for a further 10-15 mins clutching his leg….what the f**k? In the end I think Orsi just strolled off himself. Keeping the likes of Ruth and Newbury on for the full 90 in a match that was long gone? That’s genuinely terrible management of the football team.
It's like watching your dog die and it could be about to get worse.
In the last two seasons Stevie Farrell has managed to build fairly decent squads and the team has got off to good starts in the league. For all sorts of reasons I doubt that's likely to happen a third time, with obvious consequences - I wonder if anyone on the Board is even considering this possibility
But that is of course assuming that we fail to gain promotion this season.

I reckon we'd struggle to give Sheffield United a game right now.

He can and he will. It would take too long to explain.

Until now I have not called for a change of Manager. That has changed tonight.
Well take it from one who knows that you are highly unlikely to see it. Sincere apologies, but it's a shitshow.

1-0 own goal Ryan Blair. Maybe best not to watch.
The stream is also weirdly jerky. Appreciate if anyone reading could pass this on.
Thanks....I'm in and it's probably as well I missed my favourite player's OG.

Either that or we move nearer to being a 'club in crisis'. Or is that too negative ?
