THECABBAGE Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Don't know who they will go for? I'm sure I find out today once I get on the blower. I would expect Rab to step in for next couple of weeks as he's always around and been in the dug-out the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowboy77 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Total change needed wee Rab has had his shot and failed so it needs a new approach but the players should take a long hard look at themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THECABBAGE Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yes you might be right. Billy made a load of mistakes as well. When he came 13 points when he leaves 20 points. Whitefield and Meikle already been out for a couple of weeks and both will probably no be back this season. Hall & peter the centre half also missed the weekends game. Don't know if they are long term or not. Hong Kong Phooey if Rab has got the job to the end of season hope the players help him get the results. Mon the Gow...

Hong Kong Phooey Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We badly need results and hopefully the team will respond better to Rab. We have went from a promotion contender to a relagation contender. Big difference with who would come to us with what league we are playing next season.

Hong Kong Phooey Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Stuart Hall was at a wedding and should be back tonight. Peter got a bad cut on his forehead at the game on Wednesday. Wants to play tonight but probably need stitches covered up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee bubba Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Perhaps you should have kept Gerry Bonham, he seems to be doing a great job at Gartcairn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THECABBAGE Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yes Gerry was good guy but at the end of the day hindsight is a great thing. If only I knew the lottery numbers before hand same thing. I would agree if Gerry gets them promoted he's done a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc57 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Current Lanark United John Brogan for me as cannot see him staying at Lanark next season Would be a great appointment as he knows the junior game inside out Or, maybe, Lanark won't want him to stay with them as he has played his part in us being where we are. Knowing the game is one thing, getting the team to play is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm10 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The Gow have been a joke since start of season ,both Rab and Billy have tried there best this year but ultimately like most teams in bad situations it comes down to the players who haven't performed at all this year. I think the club need a huge clear out. Billy had a hard time since he arrived with injurys ,players leaving etc but the main problem was the players not showing heart and I witnessed it again on Saturday at St. Ants where they looked to throw the towel in, I hope Billy recovers from his this and keeps managing as hes a great coach (so I've heard).this year in general has been a let down really considering the squad are as talented as the rest of the promotion chasers ,however there clearly missing something. Hope they get the result they need tonight ,mon the Gow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get the result they need tonight ,mon the Gow No I would not say the Gow were a joke from start of the season? Rab made mistakes and so did Billy. As I stated before when Billy came in the Gow had 13 points. Yes they lost players when Billy got the job because some players wanted Rabs assistant to get the job. That’s been discussed to death on a different thread on here. I would also agree the Gow have been unlucky with injuries especially just now, that’s part and parcel of football. Where I feel Billy made a massive mistake in taking the job was he didn't know the junior football scene well enough. He has been unable to bring players in with junior experience. He’s tried to play players that are too young and not ready. The other players he’s brought in throughout his time have struggled big time apart from one centre half. What I have heard they do say he’s a good coach although it’s a results business and everyone will have their own opinion. Yes the players do need to look at themselves as well, although it’s slightly unfair on them if the manager has not been able to replace players that’s left the club or even close. I do wish Billy all the best and I’m sure he will do well. Mon the Gow!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
