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.

I will say though, a season where we end up in a league with Accies, Airdrie, St Mirren, Morton and Partick would be fucking incredible.

I've never seen us outside the top flight but here's my two cents anyway. It feels like there's not really much in-between. In the best case scenario we go down, scud the rest of the league, get some decent away days and come straight back up and it's like we've never been away. Would I occasionally take that over another season of bottom 6 humdrum? Absolutely. The alternative is an absolute hellscape though. Losing any remotely promising players to the likes of Killie or St Johnstone, getting pumped out the cups by the same teams and spending a decade at least in the Championship/League One? Get that to absolute fuck.

St Johnstone- 1-1 D St Mirren- 2-0 W Hibs - 2-0 L Livingston- 1-1 D Killie 1-0 L

Aye Rangers have got an absolute bargain with Hastie so they have

Would be very funny if we won 4-0

Got their money's worth this year at least.

Who?

As ridiculous as it sounds if we signed Greg Stewart and Hibs sold Nisbet we'd probably have the 3rd best strikeforce in the country. I don't think we'll sign Greg Stewart though.

This United team are fucking gash and if we fail to beat them in 3 attempts we deserve relegated immediately.

HERE'S TO YOU

I like Cummings but I'm not really sure there's much evidence he's any better than Cole, Long or Watt.

True. Nobody who doesn't know the league either. I think in an ideal world this website would just have us signing people from Aberdeen and Hibs?

just to check, we now shouldn't be signing anyone from; - anything below the Championship in England - anything below the top flight in Scotland - teams 3 places above above us in the Premiership table?

Jordan White's mum was my my high school head teacher so I never really took to him to begin with.

JORDAN WHITE

2-1 Motherwell

I've called him a good player for our level and didn't mention transfer fees anywhere in the post but aye, go off. I don't think there's any shame in being a decent Scottish Premiership player/ potentially Championship or League One down south. He's just patently not at the level of guys like Brown/Armstrong/McGinn/Turnbull who were tearing it up every week for smaller sides and were clearly going on to much better things.
