Exactly, but some genius gave him a contract and made him vice-captain.

Seconded.

So it was more of the back 5 and with players playing out of position. Classic Kettlewell. What an idiot.

Can you get relegated from the Scottish Cup? 😉

For those at the game, what formation did we start with? From the comments, it’s seems that the first half was okay, but that the second half was a bit of mess as we tried and failed to protect the lead.

His post-match pressers are likely to be spicy.

What happens when someone is promoted above their ability and given a blank cheque for several transfer windows? This is what happens. A massive and aimless squad who can barely muster more than 30% possession most games. We’re going nowhere under Kettlewell, except down the table and decreasing our bank balance.

As a fan owned club, he really needs to do better.

Two of them are already onto me, but that’s nothing new. We’ll all revisit this thread at 5pm tomorrow.

Kettlewell’s interviews this week make it clear that it’ll be more of the same from him. To change it up would suggest that he’s listened to the fans who he clearly indicated he has zero respect for, so that isn’t happening. And with that, there’s no way I am going tomorrow, and it seems I’m not alone in that choice.

Yep, he fully missed the mark on that one, and it appears to have created a him vs the fans scenario.

I've no idea what Kettlewell's signing policy and approach is other than to amass quantity over quality at the same time as pleading poverty regarding the budget.

As a season ticket holder and someone who attends many away games, I know exactly what I see and hear most weeks. Can you say the same from the Channel Islands? If not, don't assume what you don't know.

A good start would be to stop signing injury prone players.

This massive squad will quickly eat into the Bair money. It’s not sustainable and can’t happen again next season.

Luke Armstrong joins on loan. Can anyone recall the last time we had a 30-man (not including players out on loan) first team squad?

Amber and Yellow weather warnings in place for wind, snow and ice tomorrow in Perth and surrounding areas. Given that the Central Belt has pretty much shut down today because of a Red weather warning, I wonder what the state of play will be tomorrow morning.

Perhaps he’s been taking Limmy’s advice.

He can quite clearly be heard regularly shouting at officials as well as seen remonstrating with them. This can be heard and seen from the stands and on TV. He’s certainly not been carded several times for telling the officials they looked pretty in their kit.

Butland flapped the ball into his own net again under pressure from Man Utd tonight. The goal rightly stood, unlike the time he did it against us, as the officials in this game aren’t useless SFA twats.

Bailey Rice is about to get 45 mins at Old Trafford. Fair play to Baldemort for bringing him on in such a big game.

I said before that Kettlewell had reached his tipping point with us, and he’s only just gone and lit the torch paper on his departing fireworks. Winning on Saturday would obviously be great, particularly given recent events, but history tells me it will only delay the inevitable.

You’ve echoed my above opinion on his tone here. The man doth protest too much, methinks. Tick-tock.

We definitely need to sign another first team goalkeeper now following recent events. However, if Kettlewell was better at managing his first team keepers, such as giving them both minutes across all competitions (eg. Hegyi this season) or dropping one when underperforming (eg. Kelly last season and Ox this season), you could imagine a scenario where Hegyi may have been more involved and would still be here.

We should not be surprised when he starts with 5 at the back and 2 midfielders against St Johnstone again this weekend.
