Jamie_M Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The board's programme notes for tonight's game. Looks like Gus gets the next 2 games regardless. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Douglas Rae taking far too long to sack Allan Moore then finally caving when the Cowshed started chanting about the board rather than the manager, we'll see how well that holds up if further defeats see the atmosphere turn.

BishopBrennan Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yeah, my take on those programme notes was that Gus is going to be in charge for the foreseeable future, regardless of the next two results, which is worrying to say the least. Remember when we anticipated a bit of positive momentum after the fan takeover? You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbru Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The fact its taken the SLO to suggest a Q&A is frustrating as well as it being 'board' notes. I'd like a bit of leadership,transparency and accountability from club. It might be a minor point but I'm sure when Chris Ross was announced his role was to work under the direction and leadership of the board. This article is now talking about his leadership, vision and ideas. Is there a bit of blame shifting going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't disagree, just highlighting that they specifically mentioned the next 2 games, for anyone that expects action after Tiffoney and Graham run riot tonight. They have no plans to act and admit their negligent error (nor anyone actually take accountability for said error). Confidence in the board eroding to nothing.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 We're all disappointed in being ninth, there are fine margins at work (and of course these only affect poor wee Morton, nobody else), so everyone shut up while Gus gets more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Why are we kicking off at 7.30? Prefer that time (was always that growing up) but seems out of sync with usual kick off times (and the rest of tonight's fixtures). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONofmemories Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 1 (one) fine margin maybe (arbroath game). I can't think of any more that you could really argue we were robbed/severely unlucky. We've just been absolutely fucking abysmal. Just now, Jamie_M said: Why are we kicking off at 7.30? Prefer that time (was always that growing up) but seems out of sync with usual kick off times (and the rest of tonight's fixtures). Suggestion that it's to allow Thistle fans to get an earlier train instead of hanging about til late on. Could be wrong TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The 7.30 kick offs were always much better for the train back towards Glasgow. I think there are even fewer at the moment. Makes sense from that point of view. On the programme notes, I actually sort of read it the other way. If we get hammered tonight then what momentum is there to build upon? Even worse if we fail to win on Saturday. Going into a tough November with no momentum would signal the moment to accept that we cannot continue with the same management team. So while they're still speaking optimistically, even by their own admission the alternative is unthinkable. If Gus fails to build momentum this week, then their logic really should be that he has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaunTon Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Reading the notes gives the impression that we've hit a little bump in the road which has been a little disappointing. It's been a bit difficult and a tad frustrating but we hope to see some progress as everyone is working hard. Talk about grossly misunderstanding the nature of our problems and the total inability of our management team to affect any positive change. The fact that the manager has nothing to offer apart from more of the same, the fact that our forwards couldn't score in a barrel of fannies, the fact that our midfielders are dominated whoever we play and our defence can only be relied on to cough up comedy goals on a regular basis, doesn't merit any sort of comment. When did the board decide that having basic expectations of competence from management to playing staff is a luxury reserved for other clubs.

They do great food and have a fine selection of wine. I'd thoroughly recommend the lobster thermidor. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
