East Fife, Draw @3.60 please

Brewster - Cant fault his first stint in charge but this was mostly due to his influence on the field that gained us much needed points. His true managerial skills were shown at Utd and we should never have taken him back. I wholeheartedly think he done the damage before butcher came in. As people above have said, he gave vertually no respect to the more experienced and infulential players, and had too much emphasis around fitness. Butcher - Excellent when he came in and is starting to get tactics right despite a run of bad results IMO. Unfortunate in not keeping us up, but to draw with Celtic and beat Rangers is sensational whoever you are. Doing well with a depleted squad and i think made the right choice bringing back golly! The Team - Always knew we'd have fewer players after relegation and am more than happy with who we have. We do however need a stronger back four. Tactics - Not much wrong with them at the strat of the game, but what happens at half time? jeez! The Fans -Expect too much but understandable when fed lines from the club. we all need to be behind the lads and not shout abusive chants (such as imrie on saturday) and should also not criticise those who do in fact turn up and chant week in week out. Everyone should buy an old clacker from that toy shop in eastgate - only ?2.50 The Board - Who are they and what do they do... I think perhaps it's sleepy, dopey, bashful and doc and they never whistle, because they never work. The Future -Glad to see Darren and staff working to bring the fans what they want off the park, but i think this christmas period will determine our season. If we get 9 out of 9 in these coming 3 games, then we'll be back in it. anything less and i doubt we'll be in the SPL next season - and to be honest, is that really a bad thing?

2768 usual crowd this season has been around 3000/3100, so considering the terrible weather, we cant really grumble

two of us at least will be making noise tomorrow... my old man and i have just bought wooden rattlers to go with a hooter and slide-whistle!!! Could be fun at goal kicks.

sods should have signed me up when they had the chance - they'd have had more than 2 wins in the last 2 decades! lol :004:

5er says Mahonio starts a brand new thread titles 'butcher must go' (or words to that effect) :P

annan draw @3.50 please

Scored Dinamo's second today with a decent header after a brilliant counter attack in a 2-0 win. Not the sort of guy to look out for former players, but Marius is one i try to keep tabs on. Decent bloke, decent player.

Before any players leave we should be thinking about potential replacements. anyone for a bobby mann return :(

Every week it's the same thing. And by the same thing I of course mean a 'fan/supporter' who's annoyed and angry at the result who feels compelled to call for the manager's head. What sort of confidence/positivity is that going to generate, hey? There may well be folk at the club reading such comments and thinking 'here we go again'!!! every time we lose it's a call for the manager's head. Admittedly, I was calling for Brewster's sacking towards the latter end of his tenure, but my reasons were justified because we were on our worse EVER run of form under ANY manager we'd had before. IMHO the damage was done before Butcher came in, but lets not go there! Butcher hasn't even had a full season yet for goodness sake.... And did you really expect us to go straight back up anyway after loosing the likes of Morais, Black, Kerr and many others?! Why not put things into perspective before running your mouth... here's a few examples: We have won just twice in all competitions at Firhill against Partick - including a penatly shoot out earlier this season! We are in arguably the toughest league in Scotland competing with evenly-matched sides - evident when you look at the top 6 sides points tallies! We sit just 5 points off top spot coming into christmas (would you be unhappy with that come Feb/March - I dont think so) We have the best goal-scoring rate in the league to date We made it to the final of a national league cup competition, and were unfortunate not to win it And finally, so someone else pointed out, we are in no position financially to go sacking anyone, so no matter how much you deteste the management team or our teams performances, they are here for the forseeable - no amount of throwing toys out the pram is going to change that! We have a difficult sequence of games coming up and I for one intend to follow our team with support and encouragement!!!

hey - less of the 'Old' Unless of course you're refering to my old man - therefore, carry on.!!!!

seemingly of all the times we've played Partick on their turf, we've only had 2 wins... one of which was on penaties in the cup this year - i'm therefore not surprised about the scoreline so far.

would this be the same dragonforce that appears on guitar hero? :D Not convinced I like much of their other stuff so debating weather it'll be worth seeing them or not...

I, like CD, was not just gutted yesterday but well and truely p****d off. A couple of bad decisions cost us the game before Butcher had chance to react with substitutions, but I wll save this side of things for the appropriate thread. One thing that was fantastic was the craic and banter of old. Sat at the Tulloch Institute, I was back in the old days sat next to Central Belter, chatting with a certain Coia, and remembering days gone by where Mooncat and KingBeastie would cheerlead at any opertunity. The match itself, i agree, would have been a blinder for any neutral and ourselves and Dee can be proud knowing that this 'diddy' cup produced fome outstanding entertainment.

Indeed mate, happy birthday!
