Boom That was beautiful

That must be a baw hair

Mio - I’m with you big time on this one. first of all - he should shut his mouth and have nothing to say about any Motherwell players value - he’s a player not our ceo . Know your place type thing . If referencing other clubs players being with 6.5m etc , it would have been so much easier to say - this is a 22 year old international player here at FP who’s the leagues top scorer . Now if others are worth 6M then be interesting to see how much clubs would pay for the top scorer . in all honesty it’s passed the time Halliday moved to his next role , either as a pundit or go play at Patrick or similar . I know he means well but I don’t really see him as promoting us, more himself and being dragged into the media OF that so many others have lived off for donkeys years

of course we don't - certainly not in the Scottish medias view We should simply pi55 our pants with happiness and glee just for one of our players to be considered by the mighty Glasgow (Insert either of Old Firm here)

Yes I believe the rule is 6 at any given time and no more than 2 from other SPL clubs

The sad truth is the OF are the centre of the media’s world in Scotland . It’s all they talk about as it lines their pockets . I rather hope we keep him - at least until summer

That for me was pretty poor , a team who did just enough and no more to win . I appreciate it’s the cup against a stuffy team etc etc but that’s not how we’ve gone about our business this season . glad to be through , just not a great amount to shout about for those paying hard earned cash .

I agree - there was a chance a few mins ago and he didn’t even follow up on the 2nd ball when keeper made a mess of things . His time is more than up

Short answer no think bbc have all the rights - other than live games on premier sport

It certainly signals how important the league is. If we push ahead and win then once again the manager proves his clout.

I was chatting to some of the Celtic lads, their vieq is he's been at Park Head long enough, played more than 40 games and didn't cement himself as a starter. They want to look forward and don't feel he's the solution given he's been tried and tested. Perfect - bring him back to FP , sign him perm in summer. Captain Welsh for MFC please.

and normally you tell jokes but not this time .

Its a bit of a sh&t show at Park Head ( poor them ) Not only a replacement of manager but a replacement of the guy that made a chops of signing Nancy and a total mess of summer recruitment was binned. Suspect that they had a bunch of players lined up and they've had to cancel all of the above and almost start again to recruit. I can see why as a club they had to act by a certain date and recall players. I think there being pretty fair to outline that he could well come back to us by end of Window. Panic stations and Welsh gets caught in the crossfire.,

Although sad to see him return Lots of positives re Welsh . We’ve benefited from having someone better than we’d normally afford and he improved our teams results . He’s also improved his personal stock and suspect a serious contender to get game time at park head . if a bigger club was to give another loanee of similar quality for rest of the season that would be fine by me

Really happy to get something from today. think it was @mio who said he had the fear going into this , i had same feeling . It’s very hard to adjust to expecting not to lose when we haven’t lost many games . Hibs I thought played decent stuff and looked dangerous , first part of the game they really dominated but we slowly and surely came into it . The commentators made a decent point that we at times try to find the perfect goal, I tend to agree , we could be a bit more direct and like we all know need more cutting edge in final 3rd TW took his goal brilliantly , proving to be a great asset . Overall a very decent point .

said is far better wide than central . id rather have slattery central , said on right and take off sparrow

Same issue here I’m afraid AllyMax

No your spot on. I think he handles the press really well though. My take on his comments was 'if there's any interest in a player or staff it's internal' and the last people he said anything to was the press. He did follow it up by saying he's just here and enjoying it. Overall he plays with a straight bat but neither confirmed or denied.

Lois Moult is returning oops - that’s even more tedious 😀 I’d be happy for a few loanees from engurland - but not more like osong

The chances of Celtic going for any other SPL manager at any point in time are remote - Tony Mowbray is the only one I can think of and that was after 100+ successful games with Hibs, add to that 4+ years of being a Celtic player. Aberdeen would be the more likely club to want JBA but even at that I think they'll want someone with a more proven record. I do think JBA is likely to leave at the end of the season, there's plenty of English clubs who'll take notice and given his professional record of not sticking anywhere too long I do think he'll move on, but for now we get to enjoy what he and the club have created.

Thought we were excellent today . Potential banana skin after winning the other day . we’re a much better team without AP and Hendry thought there could have been a lot more cards for the dirty tactics - ref let them off very lightly - can accept advantage but why not book them

lots of options - Just unlocked their defence time and time again. Everyone was class today.

The lad has potential. Sensible decision though as it would too much time to get him up to speed, by the time he was fully match fit the season would be over. Wouldn't be surprised if Osong also goes back. He's not had enough game time to warrant him staying on.

I thought around now. Last update I found was end of October , recovery going well and he was back in training following the quad injury. The issue could be lack of game time, loading etc to get him match fit could be tricky.

Key signing really needs to be a striker. Defensively I think we're OK if we're holding on to Welsh. Also reminding myself that McGhee should be available in January. Be interesting to see if AP leaves in this window. Balmer, Halliday the obvious ones to leave. As much as would like to move on some of the crocks can't see Robinson, Stuparvic, Nicholson going anywhere.
