Canning has been a loyal servant and has always acted with dignity and respect despite severe provocation, however I wouldn't be upset any more with a change (although a new manager isn't a silver bullet). To say Canning is doing a great job would be absurd but to disregard what he's achieved in keeping us in the division for 3 years is equally absurd.


I don't know you personally but by reading your previous posts you have always appeared to me to be pro-Canning person so to see that even you wouldn't be upset with a change just shows how bad it must be. Billy Reid did a great job for us but ultimately had to go due to the dross being played , I think we are at that stage now.

Martin has done well to keep us up with next to no budget but time to move one.

Yummy Fur - not quoting you for reasons of brevity only - I didn't despair at all after reading your post, I genuinely welcome a debate and a post which backs up its point of view rather than those which suggest they will but never actually do is very much welcomed.

As it happens, I agree with most of what you said and don't take pleasure in wanting Canning out, but it seems the best option currently. Saturday was very concerning, not just because of the scoreline, but with the overall performance, substitutions, discipline and tactics being way, way off what is acceptable. If he turns it round and addresses the obvious issues, many of which you mention, then that would be great, but I won't be holding my breath.
On the outskirts of nowhere, on the ring road to somewhere, on the verge of indecision, I'll always take the roundabout way.

Fully discussed all this on way home on Saturday and we agreed that this course of action is the only sensible way ahead. Having driven passed Les Gray on the way up, we can only hope that, on HIS drive home, he had the same thoughts. How long the BOM are prepared to keep MC in a job in which he is clearly underperforming, is anyone's guess now. Lucky, Lucky guy.

Whilst already raised on another thread, the megaphone voiced 'supporter' telling one of our young players to "F*** of back to Norwich, you f****** useless *******" was the last straw. That, plus the experience of how the game itself played out, had the effect of losing another two 'away' supporters. We will remain supportive with our home season tickets.

Hang on until after the St Mirren game Porcupine. We will need all the support we can muster for this one. :cry:

Don't worry, we DID decide to go to Paisley away game, alrthough, other than possibly Livvy, the rest are binned as matters stand.

Why don't we meet up at the St Mirren ticket office?? I will be the one wearing a black top hat, white spats, and i'll have a red carnation in my buttonhole :lol:
