No mugs just thugs as usual they will try and kick us off the park.

A win on Saturday would be massive for the teams confidence 3 points could see us up to 3rd depending on other results.

Great draw, some SPFL officials will be looking for another job tomorrow though as its not went to plan 🤣

The media are beginning to notice our lack of an effective no 9, with the quote below from the BBC "A more clinical striker would have put this game to bed as Apostolos Stamatelopoulos spurned several chances," "Spurned several chances" i really hope that's not his tag line for the season.

Spot on with that but as that wont happen till the January transfer window it will be more of the same. I'd love to be proved wrong with Stamatelopoulos but hes showing no signs of that happening.

Correct i didn't see the game, but as we won 1 - 0 and Stamatelopoulos was not named as the scorer i probably guessed correctly that he huffed and puffed but contributed feck all as usual. How many games can we keep saying its OK he nearly scored, or he is looking good better, before we realise that the fundamental issue is that he is not that good and not up to the standard required for the premiership.

I guess Stamatelopoulos had his usual nearly but not quite game today then, when is JBA going to realise that he's brutal and ineffective.

Our recent great play has to bear its rewards at some point so hopefully we get a repeat of the 1st 62 mins of the Hearts game, but not the ending and we book ourselves another day out at Hampden. I'm going for a win for the Mighty Well a semi final at Hampden and edging Thelin closer to the exit door at Pittodrie. ( no alcohol was consumed in making this post).

All the fans need to know is a player is injured, and not available for selection, with additional updates when they are back training and/ or fit to play. How would you feel about your GP giving constant updates on any injury or illness you had, the same applies to football clubs. So no need for any additional communications.

I Suspect every club in the country has the same issue Dave but nobody evers hears about it. Football is a contact sport so players will pick up injuries whether during a game or training or even playing with their kids on their days off, and the teams with the smaller squads will be impacted the most,. So for me there is nothing to see here, no conspiracy, dodgy training methods etc its the result of engaging in a contact sport.

If that's the case they should not be professional footballers, asking a well trained and fit player to play 90 mins of football once or twice a week is not asking a lot.

It did take a slight deflection but not much, with the arm away from the body though it was always going to be given, especially as the ball was on target.

The Celtic penalty was a stonewaller to be fair, arm away from the body, ball heading for goal deflected away, an easy one for VAR

I was switching between the Burnley v Liverpool game and the Killie game the difference in the pitches was shocking, how the SFA / SPFL allow it to be used for top level games is a disgrace.

We've also lost 7 goals in 5 games, which is not good, all the great play we’ve had and yet we are dropping valuable points every week.

Nice play and do How many chances will Stamatelopoulos get with JBA, he is feckin brutal, no positional sense, always on the back foot, and generally looks out of his depth in most games. If we still had the likes of Moult, KVV or Bair up top, we would be top 2 at least

78% possession for us so far according to livescore, but nothing to show for it as yet

How JBA wants Ward to play is not the issue here. The problem is Ward's continuing inability to meet one of the fundamental requirements of being a goal keeper, ie catching the ball, how many points does he cost us before he gets benched.

I see the club have announced that Bobby Graham has passed away aged 81, another club legend gone.

Stamatelopoulos is not scoring more goals, his positional play is still suspect, so in what way has he improved?

I'm not sure that's correct as I understand it a loan player can be recalled anytime the parent club deems it necessary, plus Wilson is already our player so we are not adding a player so no need to wait for a transfer window. It really depends on the fine print in the loan agreement and what both clubs have agreed on.

We have previous for starting with 4 draws, the most by any team in Scottish league history @terrace_podcast 3 teams - Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Rangers - have 4 draws from 4 games to begin this league season. That has only happened another 4 times in the 135-year history of the Scottish top-flight: Third Lanark (1962/63) Motherwell (1975/76) Aberdeen (1988/89) Motherwell (1995/96)

They have lost a lot of their better players from last season and Steven Pressley is their manager, he played a 5-4-1 formation on Sunday against Dundee unt and still shipped 2 goals, we will beat them.

That's because the POD has been my viewpoint of choice for the last 40 years, but if the other 3 stands are just as bad then the club has a seriously issue with whoever does its cleaning.
