Electric Blues

At current prices, that's somewhere just under £4.5 million. Optimistic, but a good opening point for negotiations 😆

Indeed. There was no actual intent there, granted, but he's still managed to get his boot up to a height that Bruce Lee could only dream of.

What the actual **** is that lineup?

Based on the actual games played in each season, he actually averaged more than 1 in 3. Ah, the old "fifteen easy points there for the taking after the split" theory. Let's just hope we're not sixteen points adrift by then 😉

If he can get 3 points with that line up, he can ping me six numbers for tonight's lottery.

That may be the worst marking I've ever seen. Well, since last week, anyway.

You know his name's actually Blaney, right? Not so good for sitcom-related puns I'll grant you, but it is what it is

I don't doubt you for a second on this point, but it's also understandable if us old duffers - not being party to it - are unaware of it happening. Also, I think it's entirely fair to comment on the match day experience on a match thread.

Sheer poetry. Have you ever considered a career writing for Mills & Boon?

No surprise, but still a shame. He really looked the part in his first couple of games but then - for whatever reason - it all went to shit. I hope things work out for him.

Andy Cameron, wasn't it?

If you're this Colin Atherton, then your 'Well credentials are in no doubt - although the same can't necessarily be said about your managerial judgement

What walloper voted for SOD?

Surely only one winner, toxicity notwithstanding.

Lose by 2 and we're bottom. No pressure, eh?

You beat me to the Simo punch, but like you say that ship has probably sailed now.

Might as well get a hypnotist in too...

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

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 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?

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.

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.
