Watched the goals. The Caley defending at everyone of them was shocking!
Can't even praise the team after a fine performance. To be fair our defending at their goal was shocking.

Nope. He is still very limited and by my count we have 13 wins from 39 league games in 2023. 5th place with the players at his disposal is simply not good enough.
More chance of Brussels Sprouts being eaten in this house than words.
Our very own Grinch.

Great victory. Things looking much better now....

I'll be even more pedantic and suggest that there may be no better group of players. I doubt our mangers ability to turn them into the best team.
They just beat the top of the league team, so presumably the manager played some part in that. We all know your view of the manager, even ironically after good wins. Its almost as if you don't enjoy our wins.....

Brilliant result. Onwards to our next game.

Regarding the Brian Graham response. I would say his reaction shows he does have pride and passion. If he was getting it tight I have no problem with players giving it back. As for the team in general we are floundering. I couldn't second quess where we might finish which says it all really....

Wow.....

Please don’t continue the canal embarrassment. Nobody gives a tupny fxck.
If you’re really Jags fans, demonstrate inside the ground with fervour within the law and encourage fellow protesters not to boycott.
Don't agree. Sometimes there is a time for protest and to suggest they are somehow not really jags fans is plainly wrong. That said I personally wouldn't like to see a boycott at the cup game. Big crowd so on this one protest loud n clear in the ground. Cameras will be there....

Good draw and will be a decent crowd I'd imagine. PMA

Talked about this for the past couple of weeks, Cardle must be taken out to give us a chance. And it certainly looked like Docherty went in studs a flying. If Cardle was old school, he would have just marked his card and stayed on the field and Docherty would have walked. If McCall had a plan to stop Cardle all well and good. Old school tells us when you go in yer man's off to the hospital with no chance of playing on as you have an early bath.
So if Cardle had stayed on we were likely to get beat? Find that a tad far fetched. I liked Cardle but Messi he is not.

The words I used were "adequate cover for those key players" as you yourself quoted. I didn't say of the same calibre, that would be plain stupid. Not even Man City or Real Madrid can do that, but withe the EXTRA £275k that was reportedly given to him last season to gain promotion (and presumably the target is still the same) we should at least have backup players who can hold the fort while those key players return. Instead we have Akinola, Hodson, McKinnon, Smith, Turner, Fitzpatrick, Weston and Mullen who are quite simply not good enough. Effectively we have been left with a squad of 13 which is no where near enough to cover for the inevitable players being out.
And don't get me started on the injury record since McCall came to town. I know that sportsmen are going to get injuries, that is going to happen when you push your body to the limit, but every season, McCall is moaning about "this is the worst injury crisis I can remember". Why does it keep happening ? What is being done to change it ?
Interestingly enough Inverness have an injury crisis too and equally their results are on the downward swing. Are we unluckier that most other teams I don't know, but I agree ultimately that's where we need to get the max out the squad. Next window is vital to get more quality in and jettison ( if we can ) the obvious failures.

Team looks stronger than of late. Hopefully enough to get us over the line today.

When the club did not have an outright owner the board would need to set the direction of travel. Now there is an organisation which owns the club, they should set a direction and the board would then do the day to day stuff to make it happen.
Super scary if the trust are setting the direction of travel in an absolute communications and strategic vacuum.

We're 7th in a piss poor league with one of the biggest budgets. We have 21 senior players last I looked. As usual with McCall when we see promising signs the nosebleed is just around the corner and we shit the bed. Yeah, hes not Dick Campbell levels of bad, great, how low does the bar have to be on our expectations? Is it always a case of aye but at least hes not.... We're off our fifth straight pumping and theres a laid back attitude about it. Hes underachieving and has a long long history of that, thats hardly news. Infact that more or less is his history as a manager. A couple of two bob titles with full-time teams in part-time leagues is about his lot.
And aye, you did. You saw outsiders with no connection to the club or the area and started scaremongering that they were here to asset strip us and run us into the ground, its hilarious that people like you are as much to blame for what has actually happened when you think about it. You didn't want "baddies" getting their hands on the club, but look at whats actually ******* happened. Low played you like a fiddle and you did her bidding and now we're stuck with her, at least until its gets even worse. Not only is it transpiring shes a shit owner, shes clearly not got the grapes to empty a failure of a manager.
I'm not sure if this is Alf Garnet or Rab C speaking, or a wonderful juxtaposition of both.

Doesn't matter that we are missing some key players. Any professional team should have the know how to shut up shop. I'd agree that it's time for a change.
-
Unacceptable. Looking like the beginning of the end.
-
We should win it of course. Last time I looked Kelty were 7th in the league below us.

Aye well whatever. You bury your head in the sand.
So you disagree lol. Let's hope the result is a favourable one on Tuesday. You might even break out with some positive comment ( though I doubt it ). I'll bet that's bringing you out in a cold sweat.....

I don’t think the penalty made a difference. We were outplayed by technically better and physically stronger players who were better organised and more motivated.
It made a big difference. We were well on top when we missed it. No one in the ground at that point would have forseen the capitulation of the second half. We will of course never know. Personally I think when tiffoney had to go off that had a very negative impact on the teams mentality. He's that important and of course that's not a good thing and shows we don't in fact have great depth to the squad as perhaps many of us thought we had. Ayr game is huge. Win it and we go top. Loose it and we will be on the slide. A draw would not be a disaster.

Never ever predict a thistle result. I was lulled at half time today so now I'm going to hold my counsel. Needless to say I'm hoping those who predict the worst are wrong. Please

McCall saying he wasn't even angry at the players. What a twat.
Maybe he didn't want to stray into contentious bullying territory?

We chucked it went second went in. Our lack of pace very apparent all over the park. Subs made no difference at all. A very bad day.
-
It's been a really good game. QP dangerous on break but we have been the better team. They have defended really well. Play the same way 2nd half and hopefully we will do. We shall see.

Incredibly disappointing result. Was a big chance to really shake up the top of the table. What next I don't know, but it's pretty obvious the managerial team won't be changed, especially for financial reasons. I still feel that this league will have plenty of twists and turns. We are capable of beating Dundee and Morton at home for sure.
