We are in a lose lose situation I think. Sack Dodds at great expense and bring in a new manager,also at possibly greater expense. Any new manager would want a clear out I think and bring in his on backroom staff and new players. We are stuck with what we have unfortunately and will be relying on a big turn around in form to avoid disaster. Having said there are far too many at the top table that don't appear to be earning their wage. This needs looking at as a cost saving measure and then, perhaps, we may have funds to negotiate a change of management. Not going to happen though unfortunately.

I'm not up to speed of the technical aspects of the site. I'm sure Scotty will be along soon to bale us both out. He's five hours behind us by the way so probably still snoring away in bed

Whoops! Not sure how that's happened. It doesn't seem possible to correct it but I'll have a ward with the gaffer as he's cleverer than me.

Thanks for flagging this up gents. Kind of escaped the radar. All good now I see.

NPL Review for Game 06 Worrying times abound in ICT land. Still no clean sheet since the friendly against that goal machine from Nairn. robbo1985 got maximum points in the Correct Score section. No points were awarded in the First Scorer section. Scotty got the Crowd Section bonus – just 1 under. Scotty hangs on to top spot in the table.

Or Friday evenings in Partick

No I can't

Watched all 3 episodes so far. A really good insight into CalMac. I didn't realise some crews stay aboard for two weeks. I'd defo need sea legs for that job. Great program.

I've got Ayr so he's smashed it

Hope I can catch up on that via the iPlayer later this evening.

What are you going to do about it? Good question and one that is difficult to answer. I don't think boycotting advertisers/sponsors bushiness will make one jot of difference to the goings on on the pitch, dressing room and board. I've not bought a shirt for a number of years apart some leisure gear. My attendance has dwindled over the past few years. After winning the cup in 2015 and the break up of the team it left me feeling deflated and apathetic. It's a 700+ miles round trip for me to get to an away game and close to 1000 for a home game. For me to do that now it really does need a serious wake up call concerning events on the field.Yes, my home games coincided with a weekend away but a poor game would put a dampener on it so I (we) don't bother so much these days. I only went to two games last season (both glory hunting trips to Hampden). I had plans to go to a couple of others but these were scuppered by the fixtures being changed to satisfy TV. I haven't bought a newspaper for many years so the boycotting of those was in place about 20 years ago. Only paper I sometimes get now is the Metro but that's usually in the Winter months as it's good for lighting my woodburner. As mentioned about in this thread, we do have a voice via the ST. The more that join this the louder the voice will be. Those that haven't renewed season tickets or purchased merchandise could join the ST instead. It's only a fiver, which in some parts of this ruined country, is less than the a price of a pint - and it lasts a year (longer than some managers...except BD). To answer the question though, the only constructive thing I've done about is, I (We) have joined the ST.

Gringo Ayr Utd @ 1.85 shite odds but if Dodds can't get us at least a point here, I can.

Welcome newbies. Stick around for the rest of the season and suffer like the rest of us..well...until you run out of 'money' that is. Enjoy the pain.
