Same as last season - beat the 'big' teams, struggle against the ones we're meant to be beating. Need to get our act together 

Meant to be beating?

You're in the third tier.  Same as us.

You're not meant to be beating anybody.

To meet our goals for the season, yes we are meant to be beating the likes of dumbo, phead forfar. 

Timely reminder that it is 11 seasons since Clyde last ended a season above Dumbarton. 

That year we won the Third Division and you boys were relegated from the First Division.

I'm not sure where this thing of Clyde being a far bigger or more successful club has came from. Sons and Clyde are two similar sized teams who have kicked about at very different levels for the best part of a decade. Neither club "should" or "is expected" to beat the other. Certainly not at this stage in the season anyway.

You're tiny minute club are happy enough hanging onto the hope of survival in league one, whilst a car more superior club in Clyde have aims to progress and move forward.

Credit where it’s due, I’m genuinely not sure whether you’re at the wind-up or not.

We aren't bigger than the majority of clubs in this league. Maybe with the exception of Peterhead, Cove & Montrose.

During my lifetime we punched above our weight at the top end of the championship for years until Bomber Brown appeared. The next 10-12 years we completely underperformed and were lucky there wasnt a pyramid setup in place or our derby would be Cumbernauld Colts. That was until Danny came in and now we are in a league that matches our stature, IMO.

This is the sort of post that gives our support the reputation of being full of roasters. Hard to argue with on the basis of this website anyway.
