Surely only one winner, toxicity notwithstanding.

Win by 2 and we are table toppers.
Lose by 2 and we're bottom.
No pressure, eh?

Was Simo Valakari not interested before GA got the gig? Doubt he would touch us with a bargepole now. His team (KuPS) top of their league, scoring goals for fun and just got through their qualifier. Wonder if he could tempt his son to join us but apparently he was liked with AC Milan last year.
You beat me to the Simo punch, but like you say that ship has probably sailed now.

its 11 for me.
St Mirren, plus ten others, equals eleven.
I'm off now to prove Goldbach's conjecture...

That was the one I was thinking of too. Did Jim O'Rourke score four of our goals?
Just the three. (I'd like to say I remembered that, but I had to look it up.)
Motherwell: O'Rourke 51, 61, 65, Pettigrew 71, Davidson 74 Kilmarnock: Fallis 5, 13, Maxwell 67, Smith 68

I was at that game too. From memory, if Killie didn't win their game by 5 (I think) then a draw would have been enough for Hearts and when the half-time scores were announced, Killie were already 5 up.
I was there too. Willie Irvine had scored in the first half, and when the half-time scores were announced (I think it was QOTS Killie were playing?) the Hearts fans couldn't get at us so they started fighting each other. We went back up the road in a bus with no windows - happy, happy days!

One that well and truly stuck in my mind from my early years at Fir Park was the 1976 game against Kilmarnock where the lead changed hands several times before ending up 5-4 in our favour. Why can't that happen every week?

Awful. Far too much claret and not enough Amber.
At least our ‘Jester’ kit of 96-98 gave us an equal measure of both our home colours.
Easily our worst home kit in years.
And yet the shirt on your chosen avatar is approximately 95% claret.

All hopes now pinned on an injury time winner for Ross County - preferably a Watt OG.

you would think st johnstone will really have st mirren in there sights now.
St Johnstone are on a decent run just now, with the (supposedly) easier post-split fixtures to come, and even if they don't overhaul St Mirren you'd still fancy them to beat Arbroath, or ICT, or whoever. If St Mirren fall into 11th, though, I wouldn't bet any of my own money on them staying up.

...or the winners of the Peterhead / Dundee game.
I'd be happy with Raith Rovers.

Easily Donnelly’s best game by a mile since he came back.
Maybe that's why Alexander kept playing him, when all us armchair critics were screaming that he was shite, because if he can get back to his old self he's a huge asset. Same with Ojala and his apparent disappearing pace, I hope.
On which note, I've seen glaciers that moved faster than Tom Aldred, but like Ojala he had the nous to usually be in the right place at the right time to start with.

I'll stick to SOL, warts and all thanks.
Aye. Horses for courses, though there are pros & cons to both.
On topic, sadly, I can't see beyond an easy Celtic win by 3 or 4, at which point they'll hopefully stop trying.
-
FFS, no wonder the übermenschen on Pie & Bovril look down disdainfully on "SOL" sometimes.

That's what I said before the game on Tuesday
Still, fingers crossed, eh?

Dundee Utd behind to St Mirren

Tie the fee to their finishing position. They are 7 th now. For each place above that they pay 80k cash at end of season. With a 100k minimum to be paid up front. Should they finish 2 places higher they owe us 60k. Should they end up 7th or lower. We keep the 100k and they don’t owe anything.
It's as much about how many places we might fall, as how many places Utd might rise. It would almost be worth plummeting from 4th to 10th if it meant they had to pay us £800k, doubled up to £1.6M to compensate us for missing out on a brief European adventure.
Luckily, that particular risky-but-tempting option will never actually be on the table, because knowing our luck we'd overshoot 10th and end up relegated while trying to cash in

I'd be delighted with a Tony Watt hat trick in a 3-1 victory while negotiations with Dundee Utd were still ongoing, with each goal adding another £100k to our price for his early exit.

you probably go out at weekends burning down 5G phonemasts as well.
What, and risk falling off the edge of the flat Earth in the dark? Not a chance.
On a (much) more serious note, 'Well 3-1 Livi. I feel Bevis's name may be on one of our 3.

Just watched Celtic pumping untd was 3-0 but in reality should have been at least 6, which would have moved us up to 4th
It would only have been brief anyway, until they pumped us by 6 or 7 next weekend. I can't see them being so profligate two weeks running, especially against whatever our fourth choice defence turns out to be,

It's arguable whether the "after" picture is an improvement on the "before", but the weather certainly hasn't got any better.
Can't help you with the Maddock question, though, sorry.

I don't remember ever being so genuinely torn between two players, with 7 or 8 others running both a close third. My heart says Woolery, but my head has gone for Tony Watt (again) not just for the classiest of match-winning goals, but for his non-stop effort and work rate. Here he is in the 89th minute, nutmegging for fun, splashing about in puddles, and outwitting three defenders to win a throw and retain possession.
-
It's actually strangely heartening to see that Tony Watt hasn't registered a single vote this week, despite playing his heart out and engaging in some weapons grade shit-housing when required. How good must everyone else have been?
