  1. Don’t read anything different in there that hasn’t already been reported ....
  2. Pretty naff comment, even for you....Any chance you and Yodo can transfer onto a “Love Island” forum permanently and leave this one to supporters ....just asking
  3. Just managed to face Highlights, we had so many chances in the first half....Campbell and Polworth need to get shooting lessons from Turnbull on how to hit target.....hopefully he’s still got that in his locker
  4. Think you’re adding two and two and making five Do you honestly think players are bothered if their manager has been lifted on a day out . They are playing for win bonuses, their next move , maybe even professional pride. Admittedly it’s not coming together at minute. On the whole Robbo has done a good job, if we end up sixth at end of season , then we can judge them all but let’s give them a chance to dig themselves out of it From my perspective Polworth and Campbell are shadows of the players they were earlier in season and Long can’t get himself a long enough run in the team for one reason or another.
  5. Going to contradict myself a bit here, Posted this before I saw highlights , although was at game. It did look a booking from stand.After viewing second booking on highlights, was it really that bad? Maybe could say don’t go in for those tackles when on a booking but if he’s not tackling he’s going to be accused of not trying.Long does come across as a bit Petulant at times , so that doesn’t help . Also the fact it was in front of Hamilton dug out. Stupid first booking though.
  6. I didn’t know we were charging £30 for some fixtures...take it it’s Old firm , who else? Thats excesssive imo. If people are taking families , it’s hard to justify, don’t know what they charge for kids? i went yesterday but it wasnt enjoyable, would have helped if we kept 11 players on pitch....Maybe Chris Long needs to think about the punters spending their money in the freezing cold , before throwing toys out of the pram Sonetimes have sympathy for players getting sent off for two hard tackles etc but looked like he couldn’t wait to get off. £25 to watch football on a plastic pitch isn’t on.
  7. Hopefully a good bit . That’s a terrible kick off time especially for anybody travelling , especially Aberdeen or Kilmarnock, imagine it will take the atmosphere out of Fir Park that night Personally I had tickets for a concert that night , in general though Saturday nights are not great for live football.
  8. Need to see it again , but no way did it look like a Gillespie error....thought he had another great game
  9. Saw most of the 90 minutes , I thought Oxford looked a tidy team....surprised they are “division 3”
  10. It’s been a great season so far but don’t think you will see a goal conceded like yesterday in any league in Scotland this weekend , even amateur football. Jake Carrol looked like he was doing what ATS used to do and switching off at back post, but the ball should never have bounced in first place Scott wouldn’t have made any difference to that defensive set up . The ironic part is , if they’d defended that throw in better , they might even have sneaked a draw...mostly down to Gillespie.
  11. Could argue every forum needs a yodo , a bit limited but can do the spadework but you couldn’t have a forum full of yodos or you’re in relegation bother
  12. So apart from winning it, what did you want them to for?
  13. Very unfair assessment of Ross....few StMirren fans I know really rate him....His Sunderland record wasn’t too bad , he might have still got them up
  14. According to the piece on the radio on Saturday when he came in , the club were 2 weeks away from administration. i wasn’t aware of that , although I hear people saying now it was fairly common knowledge. If that is the case we do owe Les a great deal of gratitude and he has offered very generous repayment terms, as well as matching the contributions with his own money I felt when he was talking on the radio on Saturday that he wanted everyone to know that he had played a major part in the whole thing , which can’t be denied.
  15. Gordon Strachan?? Wouldnt be happy with that .Its all about him and him trying to be funny or awkward at press conferences ......failed at Scotland despite getting two bites at the cherry .....give it someone who has something to prove , it’s all hypothetical at the minute anyway.
  16. Football has changed so much....I haven’t seen Sportscne yet but I thought it was a great attempt at a tackle ....don’t know how else he was supposed to try and tackle given the circumstances, just got to take these breaks
  17. Dare say they’ve come on a bit but they got put out of Europe by a part time Welsh outfit, arguably the worst Scottish European result ever, so we shouldn’t be fearful.
  18. I only watched the highlights but 3 of the 4 goals were down to terrible defending ....Sunday league standard. There have been Scotland teams with poorer players but defensively we are awful.We are in danger of making good players e.g Marshall, Fraser, McGinn, MacGregor, Christie look average because they’re not being played to their strengths i cant see big Dec being bullied as the two central defenders were last night
  19. No Scottish team can match the attacking prowess of Welsh part timers Conners Quay
  20. No, but he did mention social media and how if uninformed people put something in “print”, people then believe it to be true....fair point actually. He also mentioned how hoof ball had got them to 2 cup finals and you can only play with the players you have. He came across really well . Will be a big loss when he does go
  21. Going on last few internationals if defenders like Cooper and O’Donnell are “international level “ then it’s not a great leap to give Gallagher a chance
  22. Refereeing isn’t easy but having viewed highlights....how can the ref see that as a pen? There’s nothing in it. Was going to say that if it had been given v old firm , there be an uproar , but then you see the two pens Celtic never got v Hibs ....Refs don’t do themselves any favours with some bizarre decisions. I don’t think any of the above decisions/non decisions were particularly difficult
  23. Hard to find too many positives after last night but Gallagher and Polworth will be good signings....have to agree with majority re Seedorf, he doesn’t look like he has a trick to get by a player.....maybe just pace.... Am sure Gillespie will come good, if not we have a pretty good back up Cant see too many more positives based on last night ......
  24. From the statement there doesn’t appear to be an explanation why our game is priced at “premium “ rate....never seen a good game there yet....
