To come to that conclusion after such a short space of time is ridiculous to be honest. The guy needs to be given at least until Christmas to put his own stamp on the squad.

McCall has posted his email after the St Mirren game last night;

It's worth remembering that a players balance can be easily knocked when he's turning like that for the ball. I'm not saying that Canning brought Sutton down, but I don't think Sutton "conned" anyone, which is what Reid was stating.

Nah, he'll most likely just bin the abusive ones, if he even reads them at all. If it was me I'd just bin all the replies after we got cuffed 6-0. I hope he keeps sending them out. They make for interesting reading, and we certainly aren't going to get anything of that detail in the rags at the weekend, are we?

Aye, Reid's complaining was just sour grapes I think, and not only does he not think it was a penalty, he also accuses Sutton of diving;

A win on Wednesday will see us taking nine points from our last possible twelve, which isn't too bad at all. Something from this game would be nice, as I don't see us getting much change out of our game with Celtic next weekend.

Not so much an achievement as a sign that a lot of people don't actually know what the fuck they're on about.

Abuse it by doing what? Sending him an abusive email?

Aye, you can't fault him there. He's doing his best to interact with the fans , which is a nice touch.

If we have any kind of aspirations of making the top six we really should be winning games against the likes of Hamilton, so I'll go for a comfortable 2-0 win, with Jeffers hopefully getting on the scoresheet again. If he can nab a goal in this game or the following against St Mirren he could kick start a wee bit of a run for himself.

One goal doesn't make him a great striker, but he's certainly done himself no harm, and can hopefully add another one or two in the games against Accies and St Mirren.

That's an excellent point there. I know that I'd certainly prefer a visit to somewhere other than the Old Firm four times a season.

So what would you have the club do? Sack McCall and Black after just over a month in the job?

I can understand the pessimism regarding the appointment of McCall and the signing of Jeffers, as I was one of the vocal ones when Jeffers name came up as a possible target, but now that he's actually at the club he has my 100% support. I would love nothing better than to read my posts in this thread at the end of this season and laugh at myself. However, it appears to me that you seem to be hellbent on knocking everything that MCall does. I'm not sure why that's the case, as it makes absolutely no sense and doesn't do anyone any good at all. Why not just get behind the manager and the team?

Malpas was assistant to Butcher for a period before taking over as manager, so he would have known the squad by the time he got the job. Apart from that, he was given over a year in the job before leaving. McCall should be given until the end of next season to prove his worth, which will allow for some moves in the summer window.

I did get a laugh from a Celtic-supporting mate's status on Facebook;

Look, if we fail to take at least four points from our games away to Aberdeen, and at home to Hamilton & St Mirren over the next fortnight then I may agree that we are in a desperate position. If we get a point from the Aberdeen game (doubtful, I know), and manage to win against Hamilton or St Mirren we should be okay as far as the supposed relegation fight goes.

Right, fuck the Rangers! Bring on the 'Dons, and the chance to get one over on the two auld codgers that walked out on us! What's the predictions here? Are we on a downward slide that will only be added to by a thumping at Aberdeen? Or will we get some measure of revenge on our former management team? Do we give Jeffers a start in this game? Or play him from the bench again? Onwards & upwards etc!

It's not optimism, it's reality. Regardless of us losing 1-0 or 6-0 today, we lost out on 3 points at Ibrox. It's hardly going to see us in a relegation battle.

Get a grip, man. It's 3 points lost, regardless of us losing 6-0 or 1-0.

I bumped this thread because I'm spending tonight sitting in with some beers, and I fancied a laugh at some of the responses we'll undoubtedly see!

I think I'll bump my thread on McCall, just for a laugh
