Who the Hells DD

You have to consider what would DD offer and be able to provide to the club and team to warrant offering a new (extension) contract. I agree you should use facts in any assessment, but it’s not the sole category as facts like statistics (or results if you like), tend to hide key facets like performance, capability to change the team during a game, competence and ability to communicate/ inspire the fans. On all of the above categories, in my opinion by attending all the home matches DD fails to get close to ‘maybe OK at this’, and should not be considered for retaining. SG and the board may wish to retain a scapegoat and cover for another season or two to deflect the criticism away from their inept own performance, but that’s not vision, it’s incompetence! I would argue the point that if the ICT powers have the desire and (importantly) the Will to move forward, (irrespective of any luck that stays with the team), it is important that a new manager and direction for the team is selected. If not for that luck (cup twist and results), part time could have been a distinct possibility going forward. You could make an equally good argument to ditch SG and most of the board, but turkeys and Xmas …….. I might as well throw it in, if it’s not already apparent, I will not be renewing and season ticket with DD in the dugout! Couldn’t sit through another season like the one we have just been through to date!

Accies beat Raith Rovers 1-0 in the final and had a man sent off after 55 minutes. Tumilty scored in the first half. Well done to them.
