  1. Bus confirmed. Leaving Village Inn, EK at 10:00am with an additional pick-up at Munns 11:00am. £25 per head. Same route on return. Contact: 07760165168 to book your seat.
  2. We’re looking at organising return bus travel from East Kilbride to Dingwall, leaving the Village Inn at approx 11:00am and returning after the game. Prices still to be confirmed. To register your interest, drop me a PM or text me on: 07760165168. Cheers.
  3. You can still make it there and back by rail. 11:13 to Kilmarnock with a quick change arrives in Ayr at 12:30 17:25 Ayr - Central change at Kilmarnock.
  4. Ultimately, I feel it’s the correct decision but like most of us, I’m stunned at the timing of the announcement. Rumours circulating that he had been talking to Motherwell behind the club’s back seem difficult to believe for a number of reasons, but I suppose we’ll find out more in the coming days. I’m genuinely sorry it didn’t work out for McCall, but as history has shown, he’s a stable, mid-table manager at best. In the meantime, I think Doolan is the ideal man to take control on an interim basis. He is universally respected by our fans and he’ll know our squad inside out. Hopefully the positivity from Ibrox can be carried onto Somerset and Doolan can be given the backing he so richly deserves.
  5. This game is the last thing we need. There is a real possibility that the full-time result will be spelled out in brackets.
  6. The implosion from the Morton fans on their forum, p&b and on Twitter has made an already sweet victory so much better. Get it right up them.
  7. The thought of giving McCall another transfer window is soul destroying. Mid-table Championship is his ceiling and that’s fine if you’re Ayr Utd or Morton. Losing to Queens Park three times in one season is absolutely mortifying and completely unacceptable.
  8. Pyrotechnics are part of the match day atmosphere for most well-supported clubs in Scotland and throughout Europe. Only in Scotland is it dismissed as ‘neddery’. The young team at Firhill are trying their best to catch up with teams like St Mirren, St Johnstone, and even Dunfermline - all of whom are miles ahead of us in the fan scene. With the amount of greetin-faced old men and snobs in our support, I don’t envy them. Some of the punters on this thread would be better off at the rugby.
  9. Lettuce hope that Low is gone before ‘Bunter’.
  10. McCall is finished. He’s just repeating the same mistakes from his first tenure as manager. As is often the case with his teams, they promise so much before the arse dramatically falls out of it. It is actually staggering how unfit and badly organised we are all over the pitch. Defenders who look as if they’ve just met each other for the first time. Depressingly, I doubt we’re in a strong financial position to replace McCall and his two assistances, and let’s be honest, you wouldn’t trust the chair and our board to pick even a vaguely competent replacement.
  11. I think some of our fans forget what it’s like to be a young fan following your team away from home.
  12. I know that and I supported his decision at the time, as did most of our fans.
  13. If we don’t make the play-offs, which is becoming increasingly likely, you could certainly present a case for bumping McCall at the end of the season. Had we a competent chairman in place such as David Beattie, I would probably trust him to find a suitable replacement. The prospect of Low and Britton being tasked with finding a replacement doesn’t bare thinking about and if the discontent surrounding our finances proves to be true, we may need McCall’s experience to guide us through the storm. He’s a decent enough manager for mid-table stability but evidence suggests that’s his ceiling. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll need to worry about going for promotion anytime soon. The club is going nowhere under the guidance of the 3BCs.
