Blaming the manager is always the knee jerk reaction but some of the players need a kicking 100 percent agree. Some OTT shouts for McCall to go, imo. I'm as pissed off as everyone else about that today but I don't think that's a good idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a very poor result today confirming we are clearly on a bad run and unless there is a big turn in fortunes a top 4 place is now in serious doubt! I think what this result shows is that we are dependent on too few players, Tiffoney, Graham and Foster would certainly have made a difference today. So another season in the Championship beckons. Smith must go as will Hendrie and McAllister. Jakubiac and Mayo will return to Dundee and Rangers respectively. I think we will be fortunate to hold onto Tiffoney while Graham has a limited shelf life. So big changes next season regardless of what happens from this point to the end of the season.

Agree. I can only imagine how the players feel to see the North Stand streaming out. Support folks' right to make their feelings known but FFS can we not do that and still support the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 My only laugh today was late on when I heard the familiar cry of "McCall, FFS Change It!". This after replacing a midfielder with a centreback, going to three at the back, replacing a centre forward with a left back and finally moving another left back up to centre forward. Can criticise McCall with plenty today but about the only thing he was not guilty of was changing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 It’s abundantly clear without Tiffoney and a fully fit Graham we have nothing to offer in attack. Unless they return quickly we will miss out on a playoff spot. That assumes the comical defending of today isn’t repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 This was one of the most embarrassing days in all the many years I have been going to games at Firhill. Hamilton didn't have to be particularly capable but they had a game plan and determination and won easily. The powderpuff header late on by Docherty from about 20 yards out that bounced gently into the keeper's arms was our only effort on target - I joined in the ironic cheers. I had real concerns when I saw the line-up but I wasn't expecting the catastrophic error from Sneddon or Mayo having a shocker. Akinola's confidence seems to have been shattered since his sending off...Smith and Crawford were again anonymous...Turner lightweight...Docherty poor. However, even worse than the limitations of the players and the recruitment and tactics of the management is the quite deplorable state of the playing surface. It looked like they were playing with a trick weighted football that bounced at strange angles. The attritional games on the mudheap did not make for quality football but I feared that when the pitch dried out it would be bare and rutted and even worse for games as a spectacle. The players can't enjoy playing on that surface and I don't really want to watch games like we saw today. We can't be far away from an official censure for having a pitch which isn't fit for purpose. The Club owe us an explanation...this may cost us the chance of promotion although that might be a blessing as we are nowhere near the standard required for the top League.

Although our recent performances have not been the best we have managed to grind out results, so yes i hope today is a one off. Imo people calling for McCall to be sacked is over the top, we are 4th and in with a chance of a play off place. Also saying we won the league by default last season is also over the top. It is not our fault Falkirk imploded and we did have to be better than a number of other teams to win the title as we were 6th at one point. Today was very disappointing but we will not go down, the worst place i think we will finish is 5th. Lets see how next season starts before any calls for sacking the manager.

There are four guys behind me in the JHS who spend every game effing and blinding and shouting at individual players that they are shite. Today they did some very ironic cheers when Sneddon came out and took a cross well. A couple of fans around them called them out about it, which was good to see.

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Despite that performance, the biggest embarrassment is the pitch. It’s beyond awful. Makes every bounce a lottery. Why would anyone pay good money to watch a game on that? Never thought I’d see the day I’d be calling for an artificial pitch, but here we are.

Thistle88 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Be lucky to make the play offs now, I remember when McCall came he said the balance in the squad was off and that was the first thing he wanted to fix. I feel like there’s still no balance to it be honest. We’ve got Banzo, Docherty, Smith, Turner, Crawford. All central midfield players. We’ve got Tiffoney, Murray, and McAllister (who hasn’t kicked a ball) As wingers. Then up front Graham, Jakubiak and Allegra. Why do wee need Smith, Turner and Crawford? He’s playing 4-4-2 most games, I feel like he should have accounted for that. Anyway I suspect there’s been a shortage of cash this season and I can accept that because of what happend to us, and I never expected us to challenge for promotion this season I was hoping we would sneak the play offs at the start of the season. But at the same time we got ourselves in a decent position during January and all we brought in was 3 players on loan. Surely you want to improve the squad at that point and go for it?? Confidence is low but I hope we sneak a play off place And Tiffoney is fit, we will be lucky to have him next season. One last thing, Cammy Smitth is trash. One last last thing McCall definitely having a dig at the people above him in that interview about the pitch, it’s been a terrible decision but yet again McCall Hamilton came to hoof the ball long because that’s the way you have to play at Firhill? Maybe we should be adapting to it since it’s our home park ! Edited March 19, 2022 by Thistle88 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand being sarcastic when our keeper collects a corner is just ******* stupid in my opinion! I just don’t see any good reason for it other than being a ***** !
