Hankey

We've got folk making excuses why we are refusing to play him in the first team, because hes too young or its too much, whilst he gets lumps kicked out of him playing 90 minutes in the reserves.

Yet, some idiots are preaching the excuse that the boy is being "protected" ffs.

We were running on fumes after beating two crap teams and a glorious loss. Back to reality.

This tournament might be our best chance of winning something this year and I'd hope and expect we take it seriously from the off.

They were actually 14/5 with Marathon Bet at the start of the week.

As poor as we are, I definitely think we can win this, although I wouldn't read much into it barring a resounding margin. Falkirk are pretty poor anyway but are in the process of trying to get their team to gel as well. A loss would be very concerning as I think Falkirk are a stick on for the bottom half.

Just heard Jagzone. Cammy Bell talks better than Archie ffs. No cliches or excuses, just honest. Deep down he must be concerned as **** about what hes signed up for.

Agreed. Archie was quick enough to go to Dundee Utd when he and the rest seen the ship sinking under Collins.

Archie has actually managed to find a worse player than Devine, and on a 2 year deal! Also that bench, what a disgrace!

Time to go. Now No doubt we will learn from it however, as we do every ******* week.

Just had a first hand report, sounds like exactly as I pictured. Roughie and the board were chuckling away, people asking shite like if Roughie needs a new sidekick ffs! Total love in. Archie talking like we are going to get promoted and all is well, harping on with the same tired cliches about "how we need to be tougher". Club official directing the questioning. Absolutely sleepwalking into trouble this season.

People said in the Premiership if we sacked Archie we'd end up with Duffy or Lennon or some shite like that when infact it's sticking with Archie that will lead us to getting that manager cause we'll be struggling in the Championship.

What was our achilles heel today?

Went full time after their last relegation.

Ayr are full-time now, thats the difference, No longer will they be mugs like part-time teams often are at this level.

Have a look on here, twitter, other forums, post Livingston game and throughout the summer, people have been resoundingly behind Archibald, despite the mince we've endured for over a year. Never have I seen a team with such consistently poor form have a manager who has received such a groundswell of support. If there was enough of a strong feeling from the support to get rid of Archibald, he'd be gone by now, but hes been allowed to continue on as a result, and we are seeing the end product, a rag tag squad well beaten at home to a newly promoted club.

They are happy to let him continue despite continuous poor results for over a year followed by relegation. Archie would have been hunted anywhere else. Hamilton Accies fans have wanted Martin Canning out the door for less whilst working with less.

We are utter rubbish. The worst thing is, the fans are going to allow this to continue to go on. They are as much blame as allowing Archie to build another spineless team of weans on loan deals and diddies from the pits of English football.

Hopefully a money spinning tie in the Irn Bru Cup tomorrow will make the difference.

Archie is unsackable and can do as he likes. The majority of the fanbase have made that abundantly clear.

You would think the management had inherited someone elses team the way they harp on about the squad letting him down. The team is a mental reflection of him. Soft.

Spittal and Storey can leave. Two absolute losers.

He has to go now. Outsmarted by a team with a fraction of our budget.

Cerny, Elliott, Penrice, McCarthy, Lawless, Erskine, Doolan. The rest, cheerio, enioy Hereford.

He and most of the squad have to go ASAP. Shitebags to a core. Total rebuild required.
