West of Scotland

If anyone wants to be against McCall as manager this is the best time to start (before he's even announced). Eventually - eventually - you will be proved correct and you can tell everyone you told them so, and demand, Big Col style, apologies from everyone.

That's a rollercoaster of a post.

Really? Because he stopped the score against Abroath getting ridiculous.

The goals are even more painful to watch on a second viewing. I'm actually embarrassed for some of the players.

Can y'all stop giving this idiot the oxygen of attention?

Yes, don't cloud rumours and speculation with opinions!

Reminded me of getting hounded four-nil at home by Clyde in 2007. Brady, Strachan, McConalogue ... I wonder how many of that team would improve this one ...

Was he driving as fast as he could away from Maryhill?

A new low point in a long history of low points. And still half an hour to go.

How easily some people show their true colours. It's funny how those who throw around terms like "snowflake" so quickly take offence themselves, and find themselves just having to reply to every single imagined slight against them, and unfortunately for them, exposing their own fragility in doing so. There's nothing scarier than the agenda against men, is there lads? Have at it, Reply Guys.

Cutting edge insights there Auld Jag. You could replace Chic Young on the radio.

Yes, I think we can all agree we have to get the right replacement. You'd have to be somewhat perverse to want the wrong person.

The King of Spain reaching Lambie-like levels of stints in the Firhill dugout.

Seeing as a lot of the grown-ups around here still refer to him as "Ratmanara" I doubt many would agree with you.

I feel a palpable sense of relief.

2006. Thirteen years since the terracing was pointlessly destroyed and left in the utter state it's in today.

Ah, the puns have arrived. *takes thread outside and shoots it through the head*

How long does it take for the SFA to make a decision on this? Do they have to roll a six first?

Angry Jam Tarts trying to storm Tynecastle after the match. Who's up for a mob after the Dunfermline game?

In that sense we also punted Kris Doolan out the door, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend the rest of the day slapping my own face for being a f**kwit.

I think most who were in attendance at the various meet the manager nights will agree that Caldwell comes across very well and clearly set out his intentions for his team and the season. Unfortunately for everyone, nothing of what he said has actually been shown on the pitch. Fittest team in the league my backside. Recycling the ball from the back and taking it into the final third my left eye. Low was clearly taken in by the spiel. I don't know if it's true that Gerry was against it, as I recall being mentioned here, but in any case Caldwell should never have been given the contract he was, if it is what other people here have described it as, especially considering we had to spend a year paying off Archibald and Patterson. Why would you potentially repeat and multiply that mistake, if you'd done the slightest bit of due diligence on Caldwell's past history? I'd bet Goodwin wouldn't have demanded a two-year rolling contract or a year's notice or whatever to come in, and f**k knows we'd be better stewarded by him. We'd be better stewarded by almost anyone at the moment. As others have said Caldwell seems to be trying to force the team to play in a way that just doesn't suit them. If they were just left alone they'd improve immediately. F**k it, just have Bannigan pick the team for the rest of the season. Couldn't do any worse.

Dick Campbell seems like a decent bloke too, but he drove away hundreds of people who never seemed to return.

Thing is I'm not sure if I heard much anti-Caldwell noise from the Thistle fans there last night. There was booing at the end of each half, but no "Caldwell get to f**ks". Perhaps there was and it didn't come across on TV, though we heard plenty of singing. Are the people who were there not as fed up with him as we are?

He been sacked yet?
