  1. The excuse of our budget this season is a poor one. Playing squad costing 120K with a management team of 30k. Above a few others and competitive with most. Money for transfer fees was also made available in Jan. We blew 5k on players from EOS playing two leagues below us. The failure to attract experienced players and not recognising the Harvey term was sliding out of control soon enough has cost us our league status.
  2. Next year the losses will wipe out the rainy day fund. The following season we’ll have a budget of about 60k for a squad and management team. Yes we’ll still be around but in the bottom half of the Lowland League with no ambition other than to survive.
  3. Bunch of heartless, gutless b*****ds. Great support today that never turned on the players yet apart from Jack Cook and Lewy Barr bolted down the tunnel at the end. A few turned on Barr and he then challenged somebody to fight. A sad sight. We were getting pushed off the ball, out fought, out played and lacked bottle and quality. Ross Brown the only player looking comfortable on the ball had little option when trying to pick out a forward pass. Healy won his aerial battles but the closest player in black and gold was in a different third of the pitch. The last 35 years has been great fun but it’s over for us now. No point demanding mass resignations, let this lot carry the baby and see what happens when the money runs out. We’ll be fifth best if we are lucky in the Lowland League.
  4. Exactly BM. Let's get everybody up for this, it's all about the football. Haven't a clue what our best 11 is but whoever takes to the pitch will get loud support. Even Toto is coming out of retirement. Everywhere we go......................................
  5. I couldn’t give a monkeys if they’ve got Mystic Meg or Mitch Megg. This is about us performing over two legs, giving it our all, having the belief we can win this tie and retain our league status. The league season is over, needs to be erased and concentrate on a cup final played over two legs. Come on Berwick, you can do this.
  6. Looks like we are going to finish the season where it started, ravaged by boardroom politics. A new investor has brought in the new manager, the supporters organisations should sell him their shares and give him complete control. At least we would know who is in charge. Hopefully the latest circus acts doesn't effect the new coaching team or players.
  7. Deal is for next 3 games only. Obviously will be reviewed after second leg. Im another that thinks EK will turn around their first leg deficit sparking a ticket frenzy for K-Park. Saturdays result irrelevant, all about getting the team ready to peak at 100% the following week. At our best there will be little in the two legs whoever we play, we must hit top standards and not what we have been achieving over the last month in particular. A boring 4-4-2, with fight, commitment and organisation and we have a chance. That’s all we can ask for after a horrendous season.
  8. Almost everyone on here pushed for change. The board have delivered change and rolled the dice. Good luck to all, give it everything you’ve got.
  9. I’ll settle for you breaking your awful run on Saturday if this means we break ours in the two play off matches.
  10. Add into the mix his senior is someone of 67 years of age that hasn’t managed since 2003. Hope it works, but fear the worst.
  11. Astounded. Colin Hallett must only be 5/4 for the next manager with these clowns in charge. Welcome back Yano, give it your best bud.
  12. I really don’t care what people think of me, I invested and I signed over as a guarantor to the bank for any debt which was 150k at the time. I put my money where my mouth was and gave up 25 hours per week to help run the club. If it went tits up we were personally responsible. On my induction as a director we were 150k in debt when I left it was around 80k and we’d won a league title and been beaten on goal difference in another. I’ll never turn my back totally on the club I love. I recently as two weeks ago had an investor who was willing to put 50k into the club but that offer was knocked back by the major shareholder. That bid isn’t over and tonight that party has just agreed some sponsorship for the playoffs. This time next year it will be worth £50. I’m hurting badly but can’t help speak my mind, if that upsets a few people so be it. I wasn’t perfect, made loads of mistakes and won’t hide from any of the past.
  13. My final BRFC post ever, I’m done. Supporters direct have a lot to answer for, they gave false belief to people with no money and no idea on how to run a football club. 15 years ago I said this was madness, today proved my point. f**k the lot of you.
  14. Just looked it up, it was 85/86 season 4-4. What a game.
  15. Crickey, A Berwick v Pars game got me hooked on the club all those years ago. Think we were 3-0 and lost 3-4, possibly 86/87ish.
  16. It’s 6 without a goal now mate. Last time we scored it was dark at 5pm. (19thMarch). Nothing to worry about, we need to stick together and train hard.
  17. Well done Albion Rovers, you deserved everything you have achieved in the last two months. Vince we’ll meet up on route to Kelty.
  18. We’ll be there, everyone I speaking to not going to home games but picking away games.
  19. Haha, I was in the ducket not the boardroom and FYI it wasn’t a director that told but me but somebody that knew. Nobody is sticking the knife in, just wanting common sense to prevail.
  20. He was there today, spoke to him a few times. Says he’s done his stint and couldn’t be tempted back.
  21. If you are a member of the supporters club or trust I encourage you to write in expressing your anger at the direction the club is heading. It is time our voices are heard and we are not dictated to.
  22. The board is split 4-2 on keeping Harvey so our chance in the playoffs is NONE. GET OUT OF OUR CLUB, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB, YOU CLUELESS B******, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
  23. Another day has passed us by without any movement at the club. They are taking the absolute piss now.
  24. Differences are in the past Doug. This is a critical period for the club we all love. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel for Johnny as I do like him but 100% agree about the need to change the management team. Its sad it’s got to this point, I was in the sponsors lounge for the cup-tie against East Fife. We went 2-0 down but got back to 2-1 and nearly earned a replay. Everything was so positive despite the defeat, there was a real buzz around the club, I honestly thought the only way was up from that stage. Couldn’t have been more wrong.
