Budinaukis. Anyone old enough to remember us having a dodgy keeper with the same name? The no2 keeper to Bryn Halliwell? But as dodgy as Stranraer's current offering. Cost us a game against the dark side at Firhill on 02/01/2002.
Edited to say that Alan Maitland was our manager then.
Remember budinaukis playing a blinder against us for partick in a midweek game we won 2-1. Carrots hit a beauty of a cross over and think big Mark McLaughlin headed a stormer to beat him with about 10 mins to go
We signed Budinaukis the next season and was pleased we did but think he got injured early on and never really did anything for us
Again if remember correctly he was in goal for Brechin when we beat them 6-1 the last game of the season where we nearly got promoted to premier league if we had only avoided defeat to ICT the week before

Do keep up
Apologies
But personally have better things to do with my time than keep up to date with who other teams appoint as manager as really doesn’t bother me
Though would have been funny if it had been JD.

The Bonnyrigg situation is weird. The squad can’t be altered and on their park you can only really play hoofball, so it’s not like a new lad would come in and radically change tactics so I’m really not sure what another manager would get out of that group this late in the day. I get that the club will be desperate, but now probably isn’t the time to be changing manager. Maybe it’ll work, hopefully it won’t.
Their board obviously felt they had nothing to lose by making the change and probably agree as I was more that sure we would catch them after watching them last week.
Watching them last week I dont think they will pick up 4 points the rest of the season but that may now change.
They are probably hoping they get the new manager bounce and win a game or two which is what they need to do.
Sometimes it is just hearing a new voice and having someone come in and give other players a chance who were previously out of the picture that can make a difference.
As you say, it may work but hopefully wont.
Fingers crossed they have Jim Duffy on their radar of appointments.
What an irony that would be if he was. Jim Duffy managing a team that ultimately consigned us to the play offs.

Reading is cool.
Thats why probably got a B at English at school rather than an A like did for everything else.

Certainly. The past six months have shown us beyond all doubt that we've been having the pish ripped out of us as a support/group of owners for the past few seasons.
It's funny how that when the panic really starts to set in and it looked like we were destined to be relegated into Lowland League oblivion, we're able to source Maitland, money, a great management team and assemble a playing squad arguably up there with the best in League 2. Imagine that proactivity was there when we were promoted to League 1, instead of getting by merely on hoping there were two teams worse than us until our luck finally ran out. Obviously there's more to it, and the situation is not as simple to navigate as I've just laid it out to be but generally, the optics are absolutely shocking.
Hopefully we can stay up and this season is the kick up the arse the club needs going forward because there are going to be no end to the ambitious clubs champing at the bit to replace the deadwood such as us in the professional leagues.
ANYWAY I digress. Two draws and one narrow defeat against the Spartans this season when our form was objectively much poorer than it is now has me feeling fairly hopeful for Saturday, although it will be a difficult game. I'd like to see Howie drop back into defence - he was in midfield last week presumably to win high balls that drop in midfield but the game mostly passed him by. If he had been with us a wee bit longer, I wouldnt mind him in there to give a bit more protection to the defence. Sula hasn't done much wrong though so I wouldn't be averse to Howie starting on the bench. Again, I'd like to see Alex King move out of left back and start on the right of the attacking midfield three with Leitch or Kabia on the other side but McCall will have King at left back. The team I'd like to see is:
- Kinnear -
- Lyon - Hamilton - Howie - McGinn -
- Grant - Ballantyne -
- King - Rennie - Kabia -
- Allan -
Would be interesting to know if the investment post January was just using the unused budget from the start or whether some other 3rd parties monies have been added.
You say you would like to have an attacking midfield 3 including Leitch then dont even pick him.
Anyway I always prefer 3 at the back and would go with the following
- Kinnear -
- Sula - Hamilton - Howie -
-Cuddihy (if fit) - -McGinn
- Ballantyne -
- King - Rennie - Kabia -
- Allan -

Surviving in league 2 is just not good enough for Clyde FC.
Dont know where you get that statement from.
The club has been in the doldrums for decades. Probably most of the time that I have been following them for 40+ years.
With the exception of a few seasons (Early 80s with Pat Nevin and Danny Masterton, 1/2 season under Dazzling Dez Walker in 86/87??? were we seemed to score 5 every other week, Maitlands Juniors, Graham Roberts All Stars, couple of season under Kernaghan, L2 promotion v Annan) we have struggled towards the bottom of whatever league we have been in.
Facing facts. We are a club without our own ground and an aging and dwindling hardcore support of maybe 400-500.
There are plenty of other teams that could claim they are bigger than us. (a lot of them in leagues currently below us).

If we can’t make up 3 points in 7 games on Bonnyrigg after watching them last week we frankly deserve to be relegated as they were hopeless and showed why they are currently in freefall
If we don’t get any injuries/suspensions over the remaining 7 games fairly confident we will end ahead of at least one of Bonnyrigg or Stranraer (assuming that we of course beat Stranraer in our game against them)

Again, genuine bad feeling at the game yesterday (similar to the game a few weeks ago at Stranraer)
I was standing behind the the Bonnyrigg dugout and one of their guys wanted to meet up for a fight afterwards after I told him his team was going down after going 2-1 up.

I think this was Clyde's biggest away win since the 6-1 win at Brockville on the soaking wet night of 05 March 2002. Good stuff but this must be maintained to have even a chance of staying in the league for next season.
Good to see the team back in white shirts and black shorts. Dressing this season's team in red jerseys because that's what the great teams of the mid 1950s wore was just daft in my opinion. I assume it was last year's home kit dug out of the laundry, with no #99 for Allan, forcing him to wear Ross Cunningham's old #10 jersey.
Yeah remember that night and your right it was absolutely pouring it down
Thought it was 6-0 but take your word for it
Hat tricks for both Carrigan and Hinds

For everyone that stayed away after Tuesdays result and performance plz stay away the rest of the season you jinksies
We played on the break and basically everything came off - through combination of great finishing, bit of luck (2nd goal any other game would have hit the post and bounced into goalies hands) and poor defending
When Martin Rennie scores a screamer ( I was right behind it and knew it was in as soon as he hit it) you know it going to be your day
Top performances from Allan and Sula (know he can be a bit of a bombscare at times but played really well today)

Absolutely. Win on Tuesday and it’s down to 5 points between us and Forfar with even games. 5 points is much more palatable and this squad is certainly capable of overturning it. As per usual, lose and we’re goosed.
Still think it’s absolutely wild that there are people doomsaying, acting like they’re Descartes or something. Clyde being relegated is the most obvious outcome considering we’ve only won three games this season. However, this squad is looking much better now. All is definitely not lost.
I’d quite like to hear McCall’s reasoning for bringing on Cameron yesterday. It’s really sticking in my craw. I can (almost) understand King at left back for his distribution, but as soon as Kabia is down, you need to be bringing on McGinn and pushing King up. Failing that, Leitch for Kabia in a straight swap. Leslie was on the bench too. An absolutely bizarre decision to bring Cameron on and it immediately made our left side fragile. With any luck, McCall will have seen enough and we won’t see Cameron again. If Kabia and Howie are out, I think my line-up for Tuesday would be:
- Kinnear -
- Cuddihy - Hamilton - P. Grant - McGinn -
- Ballantyne - R. Grant -
- Scullion - Leitch - King -
- Rennie -
Also agree with comments on Cameron. He is easily in my top 5 worst clyde player in 40 years

Pretty much agree with that line up. But would switch dunachie for p grant (if he is free from suspension) and have young up front for scullion as we need to be on the front foot with two up front

Firstly, thought the ref was very poor today. He handed out loads of bookings , to both sides, when there wasn’t any need
As other have said. Don’t know why McGinn wasn’t brought on and King pushed 1 forward. Playing Cameron is akin to playing with 10 players. Don’t know what any of his Clyde managers see in him. He must be a star in training as he is absolutely woeful in game time and haven’t seen him offer anything in any game he has played.
Surprising how different fans see things as thought we were holding onto things and playing too deep for large parts of the game
However glad for the 3 points and the clean sheet (when did we last get one of them)
Let’s get another 3 points on Tuesday and make things interesting

2. You see this all the time, but I did think it was a risky move by Fleming considering he was already on a booking. Took his goal well though.
3. I'll come back to this.
4. I thought Cameron had (understandably) squared up to someone for point 5, so then the Stranraer player's teammates stepped in.
*Some Stranraer fans, just like I'm sure you could say some Clyde fans. Scott Agnew was likely unaware of what had happened outside the ground when he was doing his interview.
Back to Bullyweeno's point 3, the Stranraer players were rounding on Clyde players after some blatant, cynical fouls. Agnew will rightly have been proud of them sticking up for each other, as would you if your team's players had done the same.
The biggest melee came after Lyon swiped at someone and advantage was played, only for Ballantyne to immediately take out the next guy. Ballantyne, Hamilton and Stranraer's Grant were quite rightly booked, but the ref forgot to get Lyon too. His red card was an easy call, he was last man with two Stranraer players breaking.
You conveniently overlooked the most serious two points
Clyde fans on 2 separate occasions being attacked
Whats your comments on them?
Personally doesn’t bother me what antics your players get up to. Just raising them as was part of an overall bad atmosphere today.

It all just adds up if he wants to act in the manner he does with fans you need to be getting it right on the pitch as when it isn't its a bad look not coming over. Did he come over today?
No, as said only four players (mainly Ray Grant being the leader) came over to the fans at end

What a circus our club is!
Basically was bad feeling all day
They only opened one turnstile and both sets of fans had to go through which was asking for trouble
1. One old Clyde fan with stick got whacked in the face when he went in the ground
2. Stranraer players all (except the keeper) coming right up to the Clyde fans and goading them after scoring the first
3. The Stranraer players rounded on a couple of clyde players after late tackles
4. At final whistle Stranraer players fighting with Euan Cameron
5. At full time whistle Stranraer player jesting to Clyde fans that they were going down
6. Then the stramash outside the ground with opposite fans fighting, swinging golf clubs and get tasered
All in all was just a bad taste in todays game that have seen the likes of before

Yeah it true, guy in a big white van got golf club out and started swinging it at clyde fans

Unluckily for the guy swinging the golf club he got tasered by the police

Surely at Dumbarton game there will be some unsavoury scenes again if we are on the losing side.
Wasn't at the game today was there any players who came over at the end to thank the travelling fans?
Yeah led by Ray Grant, Howie, Hamilton and bizarrely Euan Cameron came over to the support at the end of game
Couldnt clearly hear what Ray Grant said but think was along the lines - it is our fault ie the players than we are in this position and that they are responsible for that
Perhaps anyone else can clarify?

What's this I'm hearing about some scrapping at the end of the game?
It all kicked off
Clyde fans getting attacked with golf clubs
Stranraer fans getting tasered by police
Know that we are frustrated and not helped by Stranraer players goading fans after first goal
But it is only a game of footy

We have 8 points to make up - so we need to win at the very least 3 more games than Stranraer do in the final 14 games of the season to finish 9th. I think that's fairly doable with the squad we currently have. We absolutely have to beat Stranraer on Saturday though. If not, it's curtains. If we *do* win on Saturday, it's down to 5 points to make up in 13 games which to me is more than doable imho.
Providing we get the win on Saturday, I won't be counting us out. The current squad is (on paper, technically) the most talented group of players we've had at the club in years.
At the end of the day we have to play Stranraer twice. Beat them in both and that it down to 2 points which I expect we would make up. Only slight problem is....................................we have to beat them in both games. Nothing less will do.
Thought as a back up we also still have Elgin and Forfar to play twice. Again if beat either of them in both games and brings each of them back to within 3 points. Again if do that then think would make up 3 points on both of them.
Suppose what I am saying is that we have to beat either Stranraer, Elgin and Forfar both home and away in the 2 games we have to play each of them.
If you look at even up to EF who are 10 points ahead but we have a game in hand over them. Win the game in hand then thats then back to 7.
We have eight games to play against Stranraer, Elgin, Forfar, East fife and Bonnyrigg. We really need to be looking to win 6 of these and we will be back in it.
However caveat is that we havent won a game away from home since QotS in the first game of LAST season.
Other point is that positions 2 to 4 are between 9 and 15 points ahead of Bonnyrigg in fifth, so how much will they be putting in games if play off position secure.
We both play Stenny and Dumbarton in 4th and 3rd last games of the season. Stenny might have the league won by then and Dumbarton might be safe in playoff place.
Yeah, know clutching at straws but it not all over yet.

Apart from his baggage which has already done our reputation enough damage you’re talking about a guy who is almost 35 and hasn’t played a game of football in 2 years. I get that he is still the poster boy for simpletons but it’s time to move on surely.

I have zero doubt he would still score at least 10 goals before end of season if signed today
He is playing with Glasgow United
Had scored 19 goals at the end December.
Top scorer in that league (think the next best was on 13)

Bottom line - win next week v East Fife and Stranraer fail to win then we go into the final game v Elgin with matters in our own hands.
Would have taken that on 10 February at 5.15pm when driving away from Stair Park.
Though knowing us we will get beat next week and Stranraer will draw at Forfar to go into the final game 2 points behind them
Then in final weekend will again get beat and Stranraer also get beat to finish up 10th, 2 points behind Stranraer, with a playoff game v EK.
