I think most of us are in the same boat, not knowing what to feel or how to
react.
In the circumstances, I've gone for the simpler view - they are, and always
will be my team, so ups and downs are all part of the agony and occasional
ecstacy that it is to be associated with the (once) Mighty Whites!
I know Brian's name will be chanted today and I'm with that sentiment. I'm
hugely against his sacking despite recent results. You can't appoint a guy,
hamstring him with no funds, and then sack him. He was one of the most decent
managers that we've had in the last 10 years, and he really seemed to
understand the culture, history and expectation of the club and supporters. I
can't recall an interview with him when he didn't mention the wonderful fans.
So Arrivederci Brian, good luck to all today, and Captain Ross, rouse that team
of ours today, use whatever motivation you can from the mess of the last 24
hours, and go and get us 3 points!!
