  1. I'm not convinced. I have lost count of the number of players I have seen collapse to the ground clutching their face when their opponent has caught them on the shoulder. The incident I saw at the weekend, the ref saw it was no foul and let the opponent take the ball away, but no action was taking against the faker.
  2. I'm not seeing anything from the teams below us right now that makes me think they'll be overhauling us. Livi and St MIrren are no great shakes either, and we have a chance to put some pressure on St Johnstone and keep them in the mix. As long as we don't pull our usual trick of injuring a few key players during international break it looks like we'll be enter this critical stage with our strongest squad of the season. The biggest thing for us will be the belief we've picked up over the past few games. We've picked up 10 points in our last 5 games. The three teams below us have picked up 7 points in total in their last 15 games combined, including just 1 win. 10 points from our remaining games shouldn't be too big of an ask.
  3. I'm certainly happier watching our top 2 and 3 league finishes, Euro games (however good and bad), cup runs and overall entertainment over the last 20 years than I would have been watching Accies. Bottom of the Championship and years on a plastic pitch? Just naw.
  4. I have never seen it happen in a men's game in England. It's rare they even pick up a booking despite feigning injury happening in almost every game I watch, including twice today.
  5. You're looking at the wrong VAR image. The one they used has just been released:
  6. That would be a good point if we'd never beaten the Old Firm.
  7. Record intact. Take your pick...
  8. I've checked my watch 5 times now. Must be nearly full time.
  9. To be fair, that's his main talent.
  10. That's one good way to avoid watching Ranger's first 2 goals.
  11. Not too shabby. Also famous for being the last time Billy Davis cracked a smile.
  12. Andrew Driver and later, I think, Islam Feruz when they thought he'd be the next big thing.
  13. That's the one that annoys me most too. A simple "born in the country or one parent born in the country" should be the limit.
  14. That's the one. Glad I'm not going completely senile. I still remember the move and the header from my vantage point in the terracing, but didn't remember if The Rile crossed it or scored it.
  15. I don't think Kettlewell is married to 3-5-2, but I suspect it will be his favoured formation for a few games while it's picking up points for us on the road to guaranteed safety. Efford, McKinstry, Danzaki etc. will be some of the "layers" he talks about adding.
  16. His hands must have been too cold from the Falkirk weather to feel the OF balls from the freezer.
  17. I won't argue with that. I do still have a memory of Reilly doing something unusually good, so he may have hit the cross that Walker scored from.
  18. It was definitely at Fir Park and looking at the usual sites, seems like it was the game on 8th Feb 1986 where we won 1 - 0. But none of the sites list our scorer. Or I could just be a rambling old man. I definitely wouldn't rule that out.
  19. I've seen us beat Rangers when John Reilly was in the team. I might be misremembering, but I think he scored the only goal of the game. (If he didn't score it then it was his assist).
  20. Not sure it was bad advice as much as he really wanted to play for them. I thought the originally touted move to Norwich would have been much better for him, especially as they were in the EPL at the time and had a manager that would likely have played him in the first team. He still has time on his side, but he needs to find a team where he is a regular starter.
  21. Polworth too - although he was hooked for the second half.
  22. He stood on the touchline and dugout so often I assumed he was an unplayed sub.
  23. I don't know why it made me laugh hearing that Chris Wilder took over at Watford exactly 17 minutes after they sacked Bilic, but I found it funny after reading all the media stuff about making his pitch to Burrows for the Aberdeen job.
  24. I suppose, technically, the VAR official didn't say it was red card - he only suggested the ref take another look. The implication, of course, is that he did think it should be a red. I suppose if a team has additional video footage not used by VAR then an appeal might make sense, but I agree that it's highly unlikely any panel is going to overturn a decision made by 2 officials.
  25. It's going to happen. I'm not convinced, however, it's going to happen in this one. I'm expecting a narrow defeat, would be delighted with a draw.
