Piracy

It turned out bad for the PTG minibus I go to the games in today. The minibus broke down on the motorway outside Ayr somewhere. They were all blootered and we had the privilege of a video diary from the motorway 😂, biggest issue was they were running out of beer. A bit later I get a phone call, some of the guys were in Stirling after hailing a taxi from the motorway, all the way to the Wallace Bar, with no way arranged to get hame from there to the toun 😂😂😂 Away days, braw laugh

Life should be

We'll I have to agree. Its a shame we didn't just hadnt got this right, not to be. End of the day Grant is just another Tom Forsyth, Jocky Scott, Davie Hay etc, we roll on.

Punch his pus mate, jist dae it

We'll that's not clever either way

I'm out.

Boycott, yeah f*ck it

Aye, times up Granty boy. Time to walk, and keep walking to wherever.

It looks poor on the telly for sure.

Being fair, we should be level. It's that defence.

It might come to that. I'm not really keen on that this early, but being honest right now we're relegation candidates.

Its our defence ffs. Make things far too easy for them. They're skinning us.

Sad news indeed. RIP

You'll show up pal, because you give a f*ck.

That there's been unrest in the dressing room. Not all the players are behind the Manager. That's it really. Given the Arbroath match, Partick match, the rumours being punted about, in my mind there's something in it. This just doesn't feel right.

Yeah, rumours are coming to the fore now. Not without substance. This is turning into a f*ck-fest

I'm going to make a prediction and stick my neck out here, Grant will go after this game against Ayr. I don't think he can get the players to play for him. I think he's lost them altogether. Rumours are rumours and I'm uncomfortable in saying such things, but I can't help believing there's something behind these rumours. I think he's got to go and soon. Had enough of this pi*h, this club deserves better.

One leaving the Old Inn and PTG minibus that I know of. Both have spare seats

Free, as in wouldn't cost us anything? And we're paying Peter Grant!!, get Hopkin in now 😂

Great to see a bit of Keyser optimism. I was predicting a 6-0 from you. Keep up the good work m8.

Maybe it's easier for older supporters to (of which I'm one) react a wee bit more rational in difficult times....... actually that's not true 😂, not in my case anyway, specifically after a bad defeat. But I do think there are loads of sensible supporters among our supporter profile. Obviously social media is only a barometer for a small element. It has been said that maybe younger supporters can only draw from Mastertons era where we were getting to cup finals etc, and older supporters can remember 800 at home to Brechin. All relevant in our history and it shows how up and down its been for us over the decades. To quote a well known Pars supporter "fitbaw fans are erse holes", on the whole I can't fault that logic 🙄

F*ck it, I'm going 2-2 draw.

I can't make the game so I'll pick it up on the radio or Twitter feed. We've got the players to win games. I'm not too concerned by them regarding their abilities as players and potentially as a team. It's all about Peter Grant now and what he does to recover this abysmal situation. Thing is he knows that, the players also know this, but is there enough there to make it happen? We can forgive getting beat if we're trying, if they're showing we're improving, it gives people hope. If I were Peter Grant I'd be utterly determined to prove people wrong, has he got the mettle and ability to cope? ....we'll see.

I renewed my season ticket for the first time in a few year (4 I think) to put money into the club after the club struggling with no income due to the pandemic etc. Fresh start for all, fans getting back into games, the fresh initiatives being available to the board through the new appointments. However, the decision to appoint Grant wasn't an inspired choice imo, but I chose to support it. It's proving to have been poor decision and a gamble too far. Stevie Crawford was a gamble, the Chairman knew that, it didn't work out. I suppose any managerial appointment is a gamble, but the odds are better for some managers than others based on their experience, and dare I say it... CV's. We really can't afford to gamble given our circumstance. There's a time and situation for out the box thinking and 'brave' managerial appointments but during a period of uncertainty for society (and the game in general) wasn't the time. I'm not an inherently negative person. I'm usually passionate, optimistic and sometimes my responses are purely reactive, which isn't great after a game, but I soon regain a sense of perspective. However this situation with Grant just isn't sitting right with me regardless of what my rational side is saying. I think he's lost the dressing room, I don't think he's a leader of men, a manager needs to be that. I think he's a competent coach, but I don't think he's a competent manager and I think the Board have made a mistake. I have been a strong backer of Ross McArthur and I've fought in his corner many a time, and I will continue to do so if I feel he's right, but he (and others) have called this wrong. To not even have considered a portion of the over 80 applicants for the managerial position is truly baffling. In fact to come out and admit this to the fans has given those doubters a stick to beat them with. That all said it's early in the season. It's football and things can be turned round pretty quickly and moaning fuds like me will be ecstatic to have been proved wrong, and I truly hope I am. So over to you Granty boy. Start organising and inspiring your players. Stop berating them in public and manufacturing sh*te excuses post match. If you can't be measured in your public responses, then say nothing at all, that's judgement and wisdom for you but has Grant got this?, I'm not so sure.
