Big Col Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I was wondering which Archibald cheerleader would be the first to roll out the "we can concentrate on the league" excuse. Totally misses the point. We lost to a League 1 team today and again played poorly. With players assembled by the current manager. Take off the blinkers and look at what's bleedingly obvious.

TartanC4 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Archie said in his assessment..." They had greater desire and looked like they wanted it more so we can’t complain about losing this one.” Surely it is down to him to get the players up for it and make them show desire.

Have you seen our ability to play anywhere apart from Firhill? We are rubbish and the product for the fans is frankly awful. Fans will be voting with their feet if this continues.

P-R Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Turgid, dull & uninspiring stuff - one shot on target all game. Might be the diddy diddy cup but people paid good money and made the effort to go out and see that. Wish the team could have done likewise.

Hankey Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 We had as many players aged 30 or over starting as we did under 20. Hardly that young a team, and in any event it was the current worst team in the league below, for ****'s sake! A bunch of part time diddies.

Get a reality check, we played a few young guys today. It’s not the end of the world (as we know it) We have lots of guys lacking math practice (and still to come back from injury too). Surely we need to stay in cups, especially diddy ones so we can get those guys game time? As for the youngsters comment - I strongly suspect the average age of the outfield players that finished the game so poorly was higher than probably any other game this season? Don’t let the facts get in the way of your consistent lack of objectivity though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westertonjagfan Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 If Morton had someone like Doolan, they would be challenging for the league title. Why? Because when we last played them they were organised, fit, fighting for every ball, fast, accurate. All they are missing is someone effective in the final third. We are currently the opposite of all of that, with the best striker in the league. So why aren't we organised and motivated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a reality check, we played a few young guys today. It’s not the end of the world (as we know it) Sorry Sandy, the reality check for the last 18 months is Alan Archibald has done his time , over the last season and a bit he’s only taken us one way and that’s on a downward spiral . We’ve got relegated from the Premier League from a position of strength after we reached the top 6 and the downward trend is continuing with today’s defeat . We should have better players than East Fife currently bottom of the third tier in Scottish football even if we played our reserve team as we are a full time team and at the very least should be fitter. The board are culpable as well for letting this scenario happen and taking the easy option and letting Archie continue when a fresh outlook was needed around the Club to instil enthusiasm and excitement back into the Club and the Fans .

JAGSMAN1968 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Just have to say though, I thought the abuse hurled at Archie at the final whistle was appaling, really horrible - I thought we jags fans were above all that. Why bother coming if you're just going to use such language? really not on - especially when so many youngsters there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 It's plain and simple. Archie has not worked since April 2017. The evidence is there. Get him to ****. Sorry Archie - today was the straw that broke it for me. Losing to East Fife is unacceptable under any circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
