Right, the penultimate game of the season, and for me it's one of our most important of the season. We're one point behind St Johnstone with two games to go, so a win here would mean that where we finish this season is entirely in our own hands. By the same token Livingston are playing Dundee at home, and a win for them could bring them to within a point of us, so if we lose at the weekend we could potentially be playing Livi on the last day of the season trying to avoid finishing 9th. Apart from the fact that finishing 9th would be a piss-poor finish for a club who were challenging for the top six until the death, it would mean a financial difference of £120,000. I know a lot of fans say they don't give a fuck about the money, and reckon these games are meaningless, but as a club who regularly have punters outside the ground with buckets for Well Society fund collections we're simply not in the position to dismiss the £60,000 of a difference between finishing 7th and 8th, never mind the additional 60 grand drop in finishing 9th. As an example, £120,000 is the equivalent of over £2,000 a week over a year. That's a couple of wages, or some extra dough to extend contracts or whatever. We need that fucking money. The players had better be up for this game. Anything less is unacceptable in my opinion.

The white Matchwinner away kits were crackers. This one in particular...

To be slightly fairer to the players and credit them with some objectivity, the coverage of Scottish football would massively favour Old firm players as you’ll only see Turnbull in a game against a team with 20 times our resources.

I’m not sure exactly how the voting works, but other than being involved in 3-4 games v Motherwell, players are going to base their opinion on televised games, given that all Rangers and Celtic’s away games are televised that’s going to give them much more exposure... Turnbull has probably only really started getting wider recognition over the last few weeks, which was perhaps after the votes were made. I thought Lewis Ferguson might’ve pipped him as he has had a bit more exposure over the season and had a strong start. Maybe Kent won some votes for punching Scott Brown....

I know you expect team mates to stick together, but any time guys like Hartley, Tanner, Cadden etc. are on the commentary, they all rate him. Hartley in particular always said he was great player to have in front of you. He might not be our best ever, but I'm never quite sure where the hate comes from.

I do feel sorry for McHugh, takes a lot of stick but his commitment can't be faulted. Never shirks a tackle or a header and when you consider the serious injuries he's had that speaks volumes for him.

I actually think he would suit our system now.
