Apart from one or two I don’t think anyone has been in trigger happy mode. We all wanted Harvey to succeed to bring some success on the pitch. The early signs were really good but in the end it hasn’t worked.

Nice words. I hope you enjoy your day in Berwick and you have every right to celebrate a brilliant recovery. Last Saturday’s results will reduce the numbers of the home support IMO. I’m thinking of taking in EK v Cove unless something changes at Shielfield this week.

Just looking back at previous Berwick managers since I started following the club in the early 80s. Only two were poached from us to manage at a higher level, Jim Jeffries and Tom Hendrie. John Coughlin left and later took up the Stenhousemuir job. Shows what a mammoth task it is to try and find a succesful manager for Berwick. Looking at what is available and his previous record at the club, John Coughlin appears to be a good fit right now. Yogi isn't interested for people that put his name forward.

I’ve seen relations of three players calling the manager since Saturday, suggests players have little confidence in him. Now departed youth coaches liking posts calling for the manager to go. What more evidence is required to make the change? It hasn’t worked for JH at Berwick, that’s football, he probably knows he made too many changes to the squad but there has to come a point when people with power admit to this and call it a day.

I wasn’t having a go at the kid at all. Like I said I like him. Best wishes for the future, I hope Cedwyn finds a club where he can prove his talent.

Yes but nether said he had a bad attitude just they had spoken to him about it. It could have been constructive criticism for all I know.

I have said what I was told directly. FYI this is what I sent to the incoming manager Cedwyn Scott (Striker) On loan from Dundee. Quick, takes up good positions and knows where the net is. Like him.

FFS man. read what I said. The previous manager spoke to him about his attitude. The current manager spoke to him about his attitude. He wanted to leave and the current manager offered to drive him back. He returned to Dundee so please move on. He hasn’t played much since joining Forfar was all I was saying.

Would plug the holes in our defence?

Some statistics. Gretna matched not included due to very weak opponents. Maybe now is a good time to change. Last two managers results on games 3 and 4. Havent got exact date for John Coughlin, Colin Cameron or Ian Little but would be happy for someone to add their stats. Will be interesting to see results.

There is so so much to write about. It’s too painful to transfer my thoughts into writing. i touched on it two weeks ago but a director doing post match interviews doesn’t work. George says this week, Johnny we now have to look forward to next week. That’s the last thing we want to hear. I spoke to a director after the 7-1 humping at Hampden, quote “Managers have been sacked for less” I spoke to two directors a few weeks ago that agreed a change was required but nothing has happened. Who is pulling the strings and making decisions at board level? This is costing us now but can’t imagine to think about the future, one thing is a certain that future won’t last long. One final suggestion. Why don’t the board hire someone to go and find a shortlist of two or three candidates who would take on the role for the playoffs. The board would be entrusted to interview and appoint but clearly they don’t have the contacts to get to that stage.

Anybody got a contact for this guy, I can’t take anymore.

To start a season with Ally Adams as our No1 and end it with a worse goalkeeper is a skill in its own. John Bell is a major asset as a director of Berwick Rangers but what has become clear over the last few weeks is he certainly isn’t the right person to be our next chairman. Were fucked good and proper. Spare me the get behind us lark, PLEASE. The support have made their feelings known, it is them that own the club, why is nobody on the board listening? Anyway it’s too late now, the club has become worthless and should be cheap for any new owner wishing to takeover. BERWICK RANGERS RIP

What a lovely thought. We are looking at a bonfire bonanza against Civil Service Strollers and Vale Of Leithen.

They wanted nothing to do with an appeal . In the end after persuasion they sent a supporting statement for Clyde. Through a good friend I sent them advice from a lawyer that also helped Clyde. It wasn’t to be.

100% mate, sad to see the guys already punished under these silly rules.

If you want to get your own back lads, just ask the SPFL to look at betting accounts of Peterhead players.

One final point then I’m off. Berwick Rangers FC is now a fan owned club. I would say about 80% of the supporters at Saturday’s match was wanting change, so why aren’t the fans views being considered. People in the boardroom campaigned hard for this and when they’ve got into power, totally ignored their own.

3 months wages on termination. Wouldn’t cost anymore than 2k for whole coaching staff.

A talk in with disgruntled fans is being organised for Wednesday. I’m out of town and even if I was here I wouldn’t be attending. This reeks of the board not having a clue on how to move forward. As Berwick Mad asks, who is running the club now? I’ve been very supportive of the board and helped where possible but they are going to carry responsibility for this head on car crash. GET YOUR HEADS TOGETHER AND SORT THIS, IT WONT SORT ITSELF THEY WAY THINGS ARE. Harveys family calling lifelong fans for being negative was the final straw for me after that interview. Im starting to get really annoyed.

There was a very interesting thread on twitter last night that has now been deleted. Craig Hume (Surprise, Surprise) supported his brother-in-law and manager and thanked him for taking him from the bottom of the juniors to the SPFL. Some very interesting replies that called him out for being a “grass” and players leaving because of him. We could stand for that if he was any good but he is awful and some of the reason we are in this mess as too many have made the move from the bottom of the juniors into one SPFL team.

We need someone to organise this team of players with a game plan to win enough points to finish ninth. Today, organised yes, effort good, game plan not sure. Albion Rovers signed three strikers that carry an attacking threat, play 4-4-2, press high and get the ball into their front men at the first opportunity. Fairly basic but has worked for them. There is no point sacking Johnny without having a replacement lined up, the board at least have to look at other options, make calls, see what’s available to them and make a decision, stick or twist.

The board will be panicking as the only contact number they have between them is John Coughlin and right now I’d take that. You can’t advertise a job at this stage and the club don’t network too well. There is no contact with agents to even know who is available. It all points to a lack of leadership and knowledge about the product, football.

I feel like I’ve had several, probably look like it too.

Includes Gretna/East Fife, Scottish Cup. Even after a defeat to East Fife I was really excited for the rest of the season. From that starting X1 we’ve only lost four. Chris Hamilton, Paul Willis, Gary Phillips and John Neil.
