    Agree, that Staunton satisfied our '' home player" . Any ideas why the likes of Hudson, Devine, Hawkes et al were not in the match day squad?

    There's no grass on Hamilton's pitch , hopefully his knees won't give in.

    I suppose then with Staunton a home grown, the injuries you refer to and the midfield options on the bench, we had little choice with Boateng, Peters, Hawkes and Gunner our only other options? Sykes I suppose in net but huge risk when you have experience in ben Wilson..
    (PS . I may have missed other home grown players but can't think of anymore!)

    I think Gunner is out on loan. Collins also said he wanted a more attacking bench playing at home. I personally think playing two holding midfielders at VP is stupid Colville coming on changed the game and even seemed to get Wright playing

    People talking about how the way fans are going on you'd think Killa was a ballon d'or winner or whatever.. just as with the Hendrie situation - spectacularly missing the point - not relevant how good he is (although I do believe he's one of our best centre backs) its how we've treated him we don't like.

    Players fall out with clubs and clubs fall out with players all the time. Whilst I am deeply unhappy with the way this club disrespects it’s own players, financially on paper this may make sense in the short term. ‘If’ we used the money freed to bring in a Reece Burke then overall it would be a good decision. But there are n’t many Reece Burke’s knocking about. If our team continues to fall apart, saving money and going younger just might prove to be another stupid decision. I hear Killa is a good professional and a leader in the dressing room. Good job we have loads of them! If O’Connor or McGowan suffer a long term injury thankfully we still have plenty of cover?? Still, as long as Edin wins his personal battles and shows everyone who is the boss we should all be happy.

    Is there much of much in Hamilton and Motherwell? ;) If I remember it is one of those three sided stadiums, with the lowest gates in the SPL.

    Yes Hamilton is a 3 sided stadium with a maximum capacity of around 6,000. It's a while since I was there but both Lanarkshire towns became depressing places after Ravenscraig steelworks closed.
    On his days off Killa could find decent golf courses nearby and if Stuart hasn't sold his house Strathaven isn't too far away.

    O'Connor and MgGowan don't look like dross.

    Model pro yes but he was only POTY because the rest of the squad were sh*te.

    Correction @Ricc@Ricc we weren’t a club who shafted ppl. I am so damn angry reading that Killa has been shipped out in the most unseemly manner. We were told he is a true professional by Collins, no problem, and before a week is out he is on his way.

    I want these owners out!!’ I have not said this before, but I do not want to be associated with those who do not respect our heritage, or our principle’s of how to treat ppl.

    absolutely. i want them out. they are destroying my enthusiasm for the club. I've never felt so... I dunno, detached from the club in this manner before. I actively don't particularly want to go and watch us anymore, I hate what we've become under Edin. this isn't Bradford City and we need to do something.

    he's undoubtedly our 3rd best centre back - if not second at least, I'm not convinced McGowan is better than him. he should have played for us this season, instead he hasn't even been on the bench.
    a model pro, experienced, excellent for the dressing room, and 100% committed and will chuck himself in front of everything for the cause.

    not only are we not playing him, we're completely freezing him out and shipping him off. it's disgusting

    and why? because he went to McCall's leaving do. travesty.

    This bang on sums up exactly how I feel. I haven’t been yet this season for various reasons and I’m not motivated to go when I can, unless it’s to join a protest aimed at getting the owners to do one

    It's hard to disagree with any of that Ricc but with the situation being as it is at the moment and it's not going to change he's best out of here. At the moment he may not be good for the dressing room and I doubt he's 100% committed with him being frozen out. For him he needs to move ASAP.

    It obviously has something to do with being in the McCall crew or contractual, neither situations will change.

    Perfect response. As a player 'meh' but in terms of the rotting stature of OUR club under current management it is another example of concern.

    From recent pics on twitter, Billy Clarke still lives in Menston and commutes to Charlton.
