Certainly the first time I can recall seeing our fans demonstrating after a game and calling for the manager to get the bullet...........or did I just imagine all that?
He was very reluctant to sack Smith but I’m not sure if he would have put up with finishing bottom,getting knocked out of cups by lower league teams etc as much as Milne has.
