  1. Have done that for over 12 years now, great way of getting your season ticket
  2. Great news about Yeats on loan for the full season. That was the signing a lot of us were hoping for. This looking good at the moment and a lot of optimism about. Well done to all for the work done so far.
  3. That is another great signing, hopefully he has retained his form from his last spell here. Great news.
  4. Utter rubbish yesterday again showing that our manager is really not up to this level. He had the chance to change it at half time but failed to do so. Playing with 1 striker at home is another issue. Not bring the subs on when there was an outside chance, albeit slim, that we could have turned it round is unacceptable. Plenty has been said about Marshall and Wilson but obviously he is deaf. He must also be blind as well if he thinks Tapping and Crighton are fit for this team. Both are disasters waiting to happen as again was proved yesterday. At the first goal Tapping is out where they are taking their throw in and later almost gifts a third to them. Crighton is Mr Calamity and is shown up week after week as inept. The news that Euan OReilly was not registered for the game is disgraceful and should never have been allowed to happen. We really are being shown for what we are - an amateur hour outfit.
  5. Getting back to the stage from earlier this season where I am not looking forward to the games. There are clear issues in the team which have not been, and probably will not, be addressed. Much has been said above so I will not repeat. Jury very much out on Swift - board will not commit to change now.
  6. Two points thrown away. Thought the obvious choice was to move Corbett over and bring on Coll. Perhaps he thought the injury looked bad and wanted to give Tapping game time but in any case his mistake was costly. Also felt that an on-form striker would have buried at least one of the chances Orr missed. Skipper had a couple of good chances before he scored as well. At the moment if you take Wedderburn and O'Reilly out of our team we will struggle badly. Still having mixed feelings about Swift.
  7. Was looking forward to this after missing Airdrie game but forced into 2 days isolation. Hopefully we can get back on track. Lack of firepower upfront is a worry.
  8. First half Annan did not have a shot on goal for first 30 minutes. Crighton and Jamieson were outstanding and have formed a great partnership. O'Reilly will not be with us for long on current form - a genuinely exciting player when he is running at defenders. Great save by Wilson - one I would have liked to have seen close up but was certainly vital. As stated by others Orr is currently not up to the task. Do not know what his issue was with Swinglehurst but it looked like only a matter of time before he would lose it completely and be sent off. We need a replacement for him as Thomson hobbled past the stand yesterday and looks a long way off. In the past I have been very critical of Swift but fair do's to the man as he has turned it round and we now look a reasonable outfit.
  9. Enjoyable game last night with both sides trying to play entertaining football. Everything about the game has already been mentioned but got to give Nat Wedderburn and Euan O'Reilly a big shout out. Looking forward to Saturday.
  10. Ryan Marshall out with Covid - I believe its the first thing he has caught all season! Buzz not fit either, wonder if they will still put him on the bench.
  11. Much needed result but still questions about his team selection. Was Thomson injured early in the second half? The stats look good however according to BBC 15 shots to their 2. Just need to keep this going next week. Still not confident about the man but we will wait and see.
  12. This game is huge for Swift and co, fail to win and the Board must act and get rid of him, 9 games played so far with 1 win and 3 draws and only 8 goals scored tells its own story. How he can start with Orr, who has been a major let down, and leave Thomson on the bench is beyond me. Would not surprise me to hear that there has been issues and Thomson will leave in January, if this is not the case then Swift must say why he prefers an ineffectual player to someone who has a bit of skill and talent. Agree with FF that Forbes, Hughes and Orr have had their day and have shown little to nothing so far and must make way which will probably mean Swift will have them in the starting line up. Given the talk and promises we were given when we appointed Swift I can only say we have been well and truly conned. High Intensity football with the full-backs bombing up the park - only in his dreams, the standard of some of the signings and his inability to see that certain players are rank rotten is there for all to see. Defeat on Saturday and he must go, if the Board fail to act then they must tell us about their ambitions of playing in the Lowland League next year.
  13. When we did Arlington we had to stop and wait for a funeral to pass. Full ceremonial occasion for the deceased with horses, guards and gun carriage. Poignant moment.
  14. Got to wonder if a Meet the fans night might clear the air a bit with Swift or would he take the likely barracking to heart? He could certainly tell us why Orr is preferable to Thomson, what he thinks he is getting from Forbes and why he stuck by Marshall. He could also explain what happened to the high tempo football he promised. Then again if he loses to Cowdenbeath he could just call a taxi.
  15. Thanks for that, so no Thomson in the starting line up. Wonder what goes through his head when choosing the team. Orr now to score a hat trick!
  16. Another early goal conceded, great stuff. Can somebody please post our team, BBC not showing the line ups.
  17. Giving it a miss, opted for a week at sea rather than watch Swift extoll a team that is clearly struggling. A win would be great but let’s be realistic and wait and see what team is chosen this week. If Thomson does not start then question need to be asked
  18. FF sums it up well. We all bought into Swift when he was appointed even when he emptied the squad keeping only 3 including 2 recovering from illness/injury. He has brought in 18 or 19 players and still does not have a clue what his starting 11 is. Players constantly played out of position. He stuck by a goalkeeper, for whatever reason. who was clearly a liability and was costing us on a weekly basis. Yet to see the high intensity football we were promised. Yet to see us put a team under concerted pressure for any length of time. Saturday was a classic with the usual, players being played out of position, unknown game plan and our best player dropped for whatever reason. This should have been broached in the after match interview. Sick of hearing the same after match pish as outlined by FF. Swift is now sick of losing - try sitting in the stand watching the club you love being flushed down the toilet. At half time on Saturday, as the team was coming off the park someone shout at Swift that this was pish. Cue one of his staff look up at the stand and shake his head. If they do not know that it is crap, or we are not allowed to comment, then that is part of the problem. Personally I would punt him now. You have had your chance and shown that you are unsuited at this level. Get someone in now who has a decent chance to assess the squad over the next 9 or 10 games before the transfer window opens.
  19. Another Saturday, an another attempt at a different team selection and another defeat. If he cannot get a settled team it shows either how much shite he has brought to the club or that he is totally incompetent at this level. This really cannot go on much longer. With the exception of Kelty I do not think there is much to pick and choose between the rest of the league but we are doing our best to be in the lowland league next year. Surely at home we should be going with 2 upfront and having a real go at teams. I really hope that Thomson was carrying an injury today or else there is no excuse for him not starting. Tapping and Jamieson looked a reasonable pairing, O'Reilly had their defence on toast and that was about it. We have brought a boy in on loan from Kilmarnock - what on earth for if he is not going to play him. If he is not shown the door this week then anything other than a win against Forfar and that should be it. Pity because he seems a decent chap but decency is not going to keep us in the league.
  20. Looked back to about page 200 on this forum to compare comments made then and now - interesting.
  21. Seriously think he will sacrifice Corbett for Crichton unless he goes three at the back - has he tried that formation so far? As Neilly says Orr has been a major disappointment so far. I thought with Orr and Thomson we would have had a lethal front two but Orr has still to produce the goods and we have no decent replacement. Time has to be running out for Swift to get it right, we cannot afford to finish this quarter with only 1 win and retain the manager.
  22. According to the stats we had 1 shot on target and no corners. That is serious shite.
  23. Don't care how we did it but that is the monkey of our back. Onwards and upwards.
