Captaincy always seems like a really weird thing to get worked up about to me. Unless you're ITK or whatever about the internal dynamics and relationships at the club it's an entirely pointless discussion.

Too wee

Is this contingent on the season being called two months early due to another global pandemic, literally hours before we were due to play the team immediately below us?

Some mate you are.

Three cup finalists to start with

Is Alexander married to Mrs Polworth too?

Nobody ever says Italy

I feel like I'm reading the lyrics to a Fall song.

Has he died?

When Lafferty is in the Scottish top flight he scores goals (mainly at Fir Park). That's basically the end of discussion for me, if he's affordable and keen it's a no brainer to get him in. We already have a young sellable asset upfront as well in Shields, it's not like we'd be filling every position with 34 year olds on one term deals.

Literal guesswork but I'd be surprised if it's not something like 1. Celtic 2. Rangers 3. Aberdeen 4. Hibs 5. Dundee United 6. Killie 7. St Johnstone 8. Motherwell 9. Ross County 10. St Mirren 11. Livingston 12. Hamilton

This one was decent

O'Donnell should have sprinted the length of the pitch to cup his ears to the empty South stand.

You'd have more luck deciphering the Zodiac Killer's letters than some of OTF's scoops

I missed the game and had no desire to watch the highlights based on reports but I'm looking forward to them solely for this now

Aye but I think don't think Accies going down means they'll be replaced with a mythical 1970s Airdrie

I wouldn't mind seeing Chapman get another chance

Still not buying that people would rather go to Rugby Park or Paisley on New Year's Day than Accies.

On our end maybe- even then probably only then folk of a certain generation- I don't think Hearts fans give a fuck about us particularly. It's nice to feel a bit of requited hatred at Accies.

Nah I agree with you. I know it's not a "real derby" etc but folk are lying to themselves if they don't feel a bit more needle and sense of occasion at New Douglas Park than they do away to Killie or Ross County.

St Johnstone have just won two major trophies seven years apart while maintaining most of the core of the squad throughout and a good few players playing in both finals. I don't think football nowadays is necessarily as short termist as people are making out.

This is true but he's a vastly superior player to Kenny McLean for me.

Tbh all I'm really desperate to see from the rest of this season is Killie going down and St Mirren missing out on top 6.

If this happens I'm getting permabanned from Pie and Bovril before the end of the day.

Yeah I understand folk not wanting to get ahead of themselves but I'm amazed there's debate over the job he's done so far. Both results and performance wise he's massively exceeded reasonable expectations for me. He's probably got a few genuine reasons to be aggrieved about decisions against us or other weird bits of misfortune otherwise we could potentially have been preparing for a shootout for Top Six in a couple of weeks.
