This is why we keep it a secret ballot. So you can all vote without fear of embarrassment. MOTM is a judgement free zone.

We've won 5, drawn 4, lost 4 this season. Which of those games are blips?

but you're going to make bold statements about how poor you think him and the rest of the team are and predict a terrible season?

I thought Alfred nailed it in his post match. Basically lost the plot, especially after the second goal, and abandoned the tactics in favour of desperate passes and hopeful long balls. That's when we miss an old head like a SOD or McGinn on the pitch to calm things down.

Mine are funny though,

Turns out we did need Ap Stam after all. Take your pick...

7 minutes in and we've already earned the right to play football.

That's a blast from the past. And a very appropriate nickname.

I'm not saying he was great, but to put things in perspective we have 8 forwards on our books right now. JT is the top scorer. AP scored more league goals than the other 7 have combined. If you want to throw Luca Ross's first team appearances in the mix, AP scored more league goals than the other 8 have combined. He also took a better penalty than JT.

Lennon Miller starts tonight against Inter Milan. That's good timing if he wants to remind the new Scotland boss he exists.

I don't that quite captures the welcoming and "safe place to fail" ethos that has helped create our current level of success.

We were a bit off it, but a self-inflicted 1 - 0 defeat at Ibrox at the end of an 11 games in 37 days run, wasn't that poor.

I agree with that, and there's a question or two worth asking. To your point, has the 1.5 million been adjusted for the rise in costs since 2011? Also, if we haven't met that target yet, why not wait until we do? Of course, given the time some of these projects take, and the process to approve, I don't have a problem planning ahead.

I imagine that's in part due to the better financial package in the newer Premiership structure. First of all there is a parachute payment if you are relegated, and secondly there is more money when you finish last. Livi's share of league prize money was just over 1.5 million when they were relegated. I'd also imagine our finances are more stable than they were in 2011. Not that I'd want to be relegated, but at least you are going down with more money in your pocket. If you stay there for 3 or 4 years, then that is a different story.

Not even that distant. Great grandson, apparently.

At the risk of tempting fate, I haven't seen anything to worry about in normal time when they had 11 on the park.

We have a winner! Not the most difficult question, but made me laugh when I read the quote.

See if you can guess which one of our ex-managers is quoted here. : -- "Ex Manager" knows he will be a real asset when he gets up to speed. He confirmed: “He can play anywhere across a front three and a 3-4-3, a 4-3-3, a 4-4-2 "He's quite versatile. He can play wing-back as well. He's played left wing-back at times. A real attacking option from one of the wing-backs. "He gives me numerous options" ---

Friends don't let friends do Twitter/X.

Not any more or less concerned about this game than the others. The hard truth in this league is if you're not at it, any team can take a point or three from you. If we are at it, I think we can win by a goal or three. Robbo, of course will be trying to kick us off the park.

He could have been at Fir Park if he wanted to, but chose the bright lights and glamour of Norfolk instead.

I'll be honest. I haven't had much time to read all the details, but that approach does make more sense, at least for the smaller clubs. I hope that is only to start discussion, however, or as others have said, it could end up a bit of a damp squib. We need to find a path for the youngsters to get meaningful competitive game time appropriate for their level.

A punt is just slang for a speculative investment that we hoped would make us money, but you knew that. The guy had just scored 17 goals in 25 games before he joined us, so it was a calculated risk if you want to split hairs on terminology. Eli Just was deemed no use to his parent club and pushed out to 2nd tier Austrian League loan obscurity. That was also a punt, but that one worked out.

I'd rather see incentives instead of punishment when it comes to developing youngsters, but I'm not sure what form they should take.

To be fair, I'd trust every national team selector above Scotland's.
