"Saturday's defeat ... it is just one game." I'm glad I wasn't one of those who made the trip to the streets of Raith to see that 'one game'. Keep digging, Bunter, you have almost equalled the Bunnet's record of post-defeat gaffes. Unfortunately the Bomsbcare IS available tonight, though Berwick Rovers have four key players out, so they should only manage to beat us by the odd goal or two.

Changing the manager IS possibly, even probably the solution; it's not affordable at present. But I wholeheartedly agree with, and have been propounding, your broader analysis. £16 to watch this crap? Kiiniburgh and Hodge? Do me a favour. These guys are living the dream: after (is it) three years Paton still cant use his left foott etc. etc. Three free kicks on Saturday - schoolboys would have done better. Somebody made the point last season £21 to watch Motherwell vs St Mirren in a dreary hovel; £25 to watch Falkirk put 11 men behind the ball in a Cup Tie against the left cheek of the old firm ar*e - and scrape the birdshit off the seat before you sit down, if you please. The real driver of the present spiral of decline is the appaling quality and the exorbitant cost - we only notice it more than most because, well do I really need to state the obvious ...

Would have been delighted to see Dundee 'snap him up', always assuming they were actually interested in him. I think what I'm saying is, if he is so good why are we, er, watching such p1sh?

Pedigree? Am I missing something?

Just watch this horror movie: first of all the hihglights on PTFC didnt work so had to go to RRTV for it - that set the tone. This is a must watch for all Jags fans: the defending throughout is a sickening shambles, third goal an absolute shocker (quite apart from the Bombscare), fourth goal, even worse; could easily have been 6 on the day. We had three free kicks: one straight at the wall (from 'set piece specialist' Flanagan) ditto rebound; one straight into the keeper's hands; third straight out the park without touching another players. Individual errors my ar*e, bunch of duds.

"Look we've tried 4-4-2 and it isn't working; we'll go 4-3-3; okay 5-3-2 lads; a'right then 4-2-1-2-1, well how about 5-2-3 ..." Mike Basset England Manager. Personally I think 4-6-3 4-5-5-5 is the only realistic solution: it's Station Cabs ... taxi for McCall!

Fkin' hell, I was at THAT game - still have the programme somewhere!

The frankly alarming thing on this and related threads the almost complete unanimity that Bunter is a p1sh manager who talks turkey and who should be sandalled. The only point of disagreement is WHEN he should go, i.e. varying degrees of fiscal caution shown over whether we can sack him because of the compen issue (his, not ours). Wish the box-headed Tayside h*ns would take taken him to fcuk – and said so at the time. The crunch will come when (not if) we are anchored at the foot of the league and the board are faced with dwindling attendances and start to haemorrhage money. Same p1sh performances against lowly opposition; same bottling it at crunch games; same inability to motivate even half (ok, quarter) decent players; same gibberish from the dugout. Bunter = The New Messiah Bunnet.

Interestingly a fan (of Arsenal actually, who DIDN'T come one the Villa website to rub their noses in it) posted: "Once again, People in the boardroom are getting to involved in the sporting affairs of the club. These chairmen and board members know nothing about football and running good clubs into the ground with their wheeling and dealing." Various genuine fans of other clubs, who also weren't into nose rubbing, made similar comments. Sound familiar?

Three figures: Berwick Rovers through on penalties; Bunter blames the fans and says "We played them off the park, but just couldn't score. What tonight may have taught us is that we might need to adopt a system that first and foremost helps us to score goals. If that is what we need to do then I’ll not hide away from doing that. That’s my job after all. I think.” Wednesday the Board announces further cut in the playing budget due to falling attendances.

Well that and the small matter of four goals. Are you Bunter's agent?

A gubbing by Dundee on Saturday (and let's face it, not even the happiest of clappers believes it'll be anything else), followed by a few other p1sh results - i.e., ditto at Morton and the JH will be empty for the rest of the season. We are probably two defeats away from the situation with the Bunnet where the Board had to take action as the fans stayed away in droves. Personally, I won't be paying to watch the likes of Bombscare and Backwards, high balls punted up to midgets, shite substitutions, and piss poor tactics outwitted by every other manager in the league. "We need a system that first and foremost makes us difficult to beat" Bunter's increasing distance from reality is franly alarming: a) why were we not already playing such a system, or is this an admission that he knew were easy to beat and did nothing about it? b ) the implication is that we were engrossed in playing such startlingly flamboyant football that we forgot how to defend propoerly - if we were, I missed it. McCall is veering dangerously close to the bunker mentality of his predecessor - he'll be calling us keyboard warriors next (Chapter 11: Bunnet Book Of Excuses - Slagging Off The Twats Who Pay You To Live The Dream). Fcuking sick listening to it.

"We didnt play badly, we just made individual errors" (Chapter 9, Section 4 of the Bunnet Book of Post-Humiliation Excuses). Thank fcuk we didn't play badly as well.

Seems with hindsight I wasn't anywhere near pessimistic enough, since I only predicted a 2-0 defeat with the Bombscare red-carded, and they managed four - getting one from the Bomscare as a bonus along with the sending off. I think our only hope now is some help from the Holy Trinity - or even just one of them.

Quod Erat Duplex Demonstrandum!

A normal day at Firhill under the useless c-nts we have seen managing the club recently.

Quod Erat Demonstrandum!

Aye but they didnae have Buhntyr!

I'd go further than and predict that the happy clappers will be out in force to point out that the year St J won the league, they were pumped 4-0 by us at Firhill early in the season.

AJ, as far as I'm concerned McCall is incapable of learning, as I think today's scoreline is going to show. We really are now officially back to the worst days of The Bunnet. But actually - as some of us have been trying to say but were drowned out by the sound of happy clapping - how could it be any different with the same collection of fuds (including Bunter) who disgraced the jersey last season?

J---us f---- ch----: "46 mins: A Raith corner quickly followed by a second. Grant Murray gets his head to the second and is only an inch or so off target."

"This was like a home game to Raith": how the fcuk can Bunter not see that Kinninurgh is a nightmare. Interestingly Tade hasn't got on the scoresheet yet.

If Grant Murray scores, I will officially resign.

Conversely I'd say it should be a short one, relegated by Christmas.

Wish I'd put my money on it. Wonder what the excuse will be this week: "That was like a home game to Raith Rovers". Is that Station Cabs? Taxi for Mr McCall please ...
