    Crawley next season then after we've fallen through all the conference leagues we'll probably end up going through the Scottish leagues but, hey ho....

    They're all keen to wade in with cryptic tweets.

    It's time for one of them to come out and block the lid off this rancid fecking operation

    A full scale exclusive from one of the McCall circle would be like an early xmas present.

    How about the set of *&nts that stole a wage whilst not liking the person paying them a good wage donate the money they didn't earn to the Burns unit instead of spouting cryptic £hit stirring messages on Twitter and other forms of social media.

    Don't give a flying feck if they did or didn't like what was going on, they were getting paid to do a job, not act like a bunch of ^ckwits robbing a wage from the club.

    They got Stuart sacked by doing what they did, for some reason he seemed happy with that, and for some reason a lot seem quite happy and are lauding them as some form of god's for treating the club like &hit.

    If the good guys hadn't done what they had done then we had a great chance of finishing in the play offs, it's not hard to understand.

    Good guys my left &6acker.

    I think the owners will be very pleased that we are playing Scunthorpe on the last fixture before Christmas always the worst attended week of the season

    Can't argue against that with regards the players who threw the towel in at Yeovil, all I will say is it would have just prolong the inevitable, Edin was not happy with a guy who was having more sucsess than him and didn't like the fact he could never gain the respect Stuart McCall had at Valley Parade.
    So if things hadn't panned out as they had (bearing in mind it was Edin that started the rot) you can believe that or not but it will come out in time,
    So we go on as you say and gain a top 6 place, then the lottery of a play off and maybe even another final, we win or lose do you believe Edin would not have sacked Stuart if we'd got promoted, and even if we had been beaten in the final that could not give him any reason to sack McCall, Stuart knew he was a dead man walking no matter what he did last season at Bradford City he was never going to earn another contract and like it or not that was down to the egoistic junior partner that is called Edin Rahic.

    The point I'm making is people are treating "The good guys" like they are Bleeding Claret and Amber, they %cked us over it's that simple, I don't disagree about Stuart, the worse thing Edin did, with hindsight is employ him in the first place, both were on a hiding to nothing.

    It's about time our supporters turned on the players that stole a wage, Edin has and still is making mistakes and I'm not defending him, I'm just fecked off reading about these "good guys".

    I've agreed with you with regards the said players, it was not the right the way to make their point, they let us fans down but more so their friend and gaffer Stuart McCall, it was not a good time around the Yeovil game, no excuse but I do believe the truth will come out and maybe we can understand why they did what they did, but yes I'm with you it ultimately cost us, now whether we could have kept that sort of points return up is another thing we weren't playing well but still getting results.

    Herein lies the problem though, we weren't playing well even before they downed tools, but got the results so really on reflection we were poor from November, probably late October, it could be argued there was no hidden agenda (no idea if there was or wasn't) and Stuart was sacked for 3 months of poor form which was escalated by the downed tool times in January.

    Either way the players were proved not to be good enough, trying or not, so we've got rid, don't see a problem with that.
