Big Stall

While i dont think he was ever going to hit last seasons heights, i think he would do much better here or St Mirren than at Kilmarnock. Simply down to fitness & competition for places in the starting 11. Kilmarnock have a wealth of talent & big kev has to force his way in. If he signed for us he wouldnt have that issue & could play his way to fitness & form. Probably similar in Paisley as well. He does not have that luxury at Rugby Park this season.

Why not? We are by all accounts the third lowest wage budget in the country & Bair was never brought in as an assumed starting 11 man but rather a squad player to work on. And he is young. He will have done well in terms of bonuses but i wouldnt be surprised if he is one of our lower earners (in terms of basic) Saying that, i have no idea what a lower earner at MFC will be on.

Steelboy talking about usual online roasters - presumably with a straight face, is top bantz. What we all need to set us up for the day. Anyone got a blow torch? Think Steelboy has lost his

Given that wee (john boyle or Nevin i think) were trotting out the 'fir park micro-climate' excuse. I dont think we can be too critical of Dundee bringing out their own crazy statements

Steelboy moaning like fuck about this or anything is the biggest shock ever......

Dundee (A) 1 pts Hibs (H) 1 pt Ross County (A) 1 pt Livingston (H) 3 pts Aberdeen (A) 1 pt St Johnstone (H) 3pts Hibs (A) 0 pts 10 points for me....... (leaving us on 43 - possibly ambitious given how bad we have been all season. Would bite your hand off for that right now

Andy Halliday and Davey Cooper in the same sentence top bantz 🤣🤣🤣

He was today

Gent for me, easy decision

I think he has a bit about him, but not today. That was a very poor showing

Take the point but that was a horrific shambles today. St Mirrens goal was on us. Halliday was brutal, and neither spittal or vale turned up. The passing all round was shocking. My lad is only 6& him and his mill utd team mates are putting better balls to feet than what i witnessed today. St Mirren, despite their lofty position were no better than us. Infact, i dare say if we had put some passes together we would walk through them quite easily. They are a strong workman like side but cant cope with crisp passing & a bit of guile. Gent - standout performer!

When can we say owe naw he's pish?

That youtube compilation is encouraging by the number of goals he is picking up by getting himself running into the centre as balls get flashed across. Something big Theo hasnt yet learned to do

Heard that earlier. Shockarooni its not in news papers, refs bulletins or twitter. A bit like the league cup semi, the boy greetin about his broken nose. Same happened to moult but he just got on with it & scored the winner

Gent wasnt at the races on Sunday, his worst showing for a while. Saying that, he is one of our better players so got to imagine he is struggling with an injury. Vale must be same boat. Maybe recovering and being wary of the Livy 'carpet' playing into team selection.

Vale for me. Very impressed with his showing

As for the game. Started excellent, celtic grew into the game last 20mins of 1st half but not causing us much bother. 2nd half sitting back with our dodgy defence & keeper was just inviting disaster. We did cope pretty well with the onslaught but putting a new defence on so late screwed the dynamic. I thought Vale was superb & was everywhere. In contrast, Shaw was brutal & looked as though he had no clue where he should be playing. I actually would have brought bear back a bit & left a fresh shaw on the half way line to hit them on the break. A massive kick in the baws but we are definatley a better team now than a few months ago. Three points midweek & try not to make a cunt of it at ibrox then we can hopefully kick on

^didnt think he was that bad today. Plenty times he waved play on when celtic players went down, on another day we would have been pulled up. Whoever the VAR operafor was tho could be questioned - looking for a red card at the free kick seemed way OTT

Hearts were not as good early in the season as they are now so we will ger beat...... Celtic are worse now than earlier in the season when we drew with them at their own place so we will get beat. Clear as day 🤣

So the 'logic' you use one week, isnt valid the next week. All good. 🫡

So celtic have beaten us by one goal on the last two home games then? And couldnt beat us on their own patch last time either. Glad you have cleared that up. 👍 We do have something going for us..... you noted we were up against a different Hearts team at the weekend compared with the one we beat earlier in the season. This one full of confidence. I assume we are therefore up against a different celtic team compared to the one that was cantering clear at the summit of the table.....

Despite them being massive favourites, and whatever MJC says, there is no reason we cant fight our way to at least a draw. It will be tough, but they are at a low ebb. Confidence is shot & they will be hurting. Would like to see us take the game to them & get right in their faces from the off. They are not the fluid attacking unit they were last season. Sadly our defence and keeper are a shambles. Keep the ball in their half as much as we can. Dont sit back & invite them onto us

I agree that we need better. If we can afford to get better players and keep them as squad men back ups i wouldnt be averse to that. Saying that, i expect both to be pretty high earners within our squad so for the money we are probably paying them, we need first team starters

I actually thought Kettlewells interview was a better watch today. It was a change from the norm & you could see he was visibly angry at the mistakes. Noted that he/the club protect the players rather than throwing them under the bus. I got the feeling he was going to let fly in the dressing room and hopefully boot some arses. That is certainly what the defence and the keeper are needing.

If you want job security, you dont become a football manager! A contract is there for a reason, it protects the manager for when he does poorly & gets the sack...... it also protects the club for when the manager does well and bigger opportunities come sniffing. There is absolutley nothing wrong with shaking the guys hand at the end of his contract, saying thanks for the service but we are going to try something new
