Is ownership of the facility going to be fully in the hands of the club or are we purely going to own the pavilion?

Have the club confirmed that the seats in the PoD won't be replaced in time? I thought the European games were the whole point of replacing them? I am not an ST holder but attend regularly and sit in the PoD so was hoping to sit there as usual. Just went on to buy two tickets and seems like that isn't possible as only a few sporadic seats are available in the Cooper. Tried to call the club five or six times over last few days with no answer. I presume we are going to have to open part of the South Stand?

Real flatness after this. It seems that every year the Glasgow pair are either playing mince or knocked out we screw it up against a beatable side. Some business is needed in January if we are going to make the most of the strengths we have seen so far this season. Regardless of anyone's thoughts on the style of play, Robinson has sent his team out and done the job. He done it for us and to be fair hats off to him as hes done the job here. Finishing is the core issue. In the box we just seemed to lack confidence to have a real go. Can't grudge St Mirren their win. As much as I dont have a high opinion of them I hope they go on and win the thing. On another note I was surprised to see what looked like a higher attendance for St Mirren. Their end looked a bit fuller than ours. No rows of empty seats down the front. Much can be made of the Hampden spectacle but I think a match like that played in a smaller venue would be a fan better day out.

I think in matters of scale, 5 million or whatever for a club of Hibs size wouldn't be the same financial jackpot it would be for Motherwell. I suspect Hibs financially these days don't really have to worry and the question for them really needs to be why the heck they don't do better given their set up and resources. Same with the Jambos. I will be honest I do not support the Old Firm in Europe, I detest the pair of them. They are both an absolute embarrassment to Scotland when they start their pish so the sooner they are out the better. On the other hand I would quite happily see everyone else do well. Europe is just an incing on the cake when you achieve a bit of success domestically however I do welcome the conference league and am looking it at the route Scottish teams need to take. All of the Scottish teams eyeing up Europe are more than capable of entering that group stage. I would fancy our chances. The Motherwell team who battled to the final qualifying round under Craig Broon I would have fancied to get over the line into the Conference group stages.

Money needs to be directed towards a replacement of the PoD stand if we are to remain at Fir Park sustainably moving forward. That said I don't think the whole lot should be blown on that, a portion should be kept aside and the remainder on club facilities. If the PoD stand wasn't a tinderbox I would 100% be saying invest the whack on a new training campus.

All round this has been a shocking first half

Been talking about this today. There is a general spineless feeling which I dont think has been at the club since back in the Malpas era.

Okay at least this rules Frail out of getting the gig full time.

I'm starting to wonder about this guy. The club in general just feels flat. I know Burrows had his critics but under him you could see the club moving. The media effort was top notch, the club was appearing more professional, and absolute media meltdowns like this were avoided. Given Caldwell's handling of this I dont think he will have a great deal of currency in the bank if he screws up the recruitment over the next few weeks.

I think the accusations of abuse are being taken out of context. It isn't nice I get that but I think its just the next phase in the wee tantrum hes been having over the last few weeks. If his family were attending games then they would have been in earshot of the wide ranging feedback he was receiving from the paying customers. Rightly or wrongly no manager is immune to stick from the stands, and from our main stand in particular. The reality is if I was a manager I don't think I'd have my close family in the stand but that's just my outlook. The abuse isn't any more than any other manager in a rough patch has recieved. Take Stevie Robinson who was being labelled an imposter at the end (he was anything but). I've never disliked Kettlewell, I wish him the best, but he was never the man to take the club forward in my view. Time to dust down and move on. Stephen Frail is not the one to do that.

100% we seen that early on, we got a grip of it in the first half as we saw. Low possession but controlling things to an extent but the second half is just so disheartening. Sadly a story we have all read before I guess. Not sitting here raging, more thinking about what could've been had we been a bit more adventurous in the second half. Whatever the gaffer has said at half time hadn't produced the goods.

Second half was shocking. When Sevco scored it was one of the most woeful performances I've seen. Just seemed there was absolutely no get up and go to try and wrestle it. With six minutes added time I hoped that would've recharged but absolutely nothing.

Whilst by no means a bad thing, I am not really sure it is an overly significant milestone to be honest.

After a positive opening spell we just folded. Defensively poor throughout. Feel for Miller, on another day he would've scored those.

Absolutely terrific goal followed up by utterly incompetent defending.
