I'd say it was lazy journalism, but I don't think they even applied that much effort to link ex-Preston player with Preston job. Usually when the papers say "is linked" they mean a journo came up with the idea. I read the article, and there are literally zero sources or quotes about Alexander. At least the links to Callum Davidson have "reports have suggested" which at a minimum means someone else outside of the writer's imagination has said it too.

I'm certainly not dissing Dougie - and he will always be a cup winning legend who I enjoyed watching. He's just not in my elite top tier of players I've seen play in the past 50+ (fifty? - I'm getting old!) years at Fir Park.

If we're playing that game, I'll see you Alex Fisher, Mike Larnach and Jim Gillespie.

I'd have Bobby Graham in there ahead of Arnott. Class act that is too often overlooked thanks to Wullie P.

Dougie was a legend for obvious cup winning reasons, but I don't think he'd make it into the top 5 strikers I've enjoyed watching at Fir Park.

Parking the bus would be suicidal - especially give our issues with defensive injuries. Pressing high from the start, like we have done in our recent victories, is the best way to defend because as soon as you give their players space to play they will hurt you. Surprised if we pick up any points from this, but I think we'll make a game of it.

So you're saying we should have won?

Not too bad.

Proving once again how much easier it is to win a game when you do score.

Our commentary is in sync for me, but Lewis sounds like he is having to use his mobile phone after the initial technical difficulties.

Lewis has just found his soup cans and string.

Probably not a bad game for Cornelius to start as Hibs aren't as physical as some other sides we come up against.

Not sure about that, as I was 100% sure Sol would be out after GA claimed it was "just a bit of cramp"!

Their LLLWL league performance is definitely enough to give me the fear. On the other hand, if we start on the front foot like we did against Hearts and Dundee Utd, we could take a point or three here.

I'm doing the honours this week for the Utd game. Now you've all dried out, time to make your choice.

Although I should know better by now, I'm more surprised when people judge a new player (or write them off completely) after a couple of appearances. It's not like it's a secret that new players take time to get up to speed in a new team with new training methods, new team mates and new tactics.

Not sure he'd fancy Aberdeen or Paisley.

In previous posts I said that I liked big Bevis, but he was never more than decent cover as a right back. What I obviously meant is that he is a terrific right back that should keep playing there

Also, kudos to the groundstaff as many pitches wouldn't have been playable in that torrent.

Not quite a December game, but I expect a few more like this in store for the festive period. Gritty 3 points, with some odd flashes of decent football, but the conditions made it impossible to get any kind of traction (literally) in the game for long spells.

I can see at least one goal coming in the second half directly related to a mistake from the underfoot conditions. I just hope it's is that benefits.

Lucky the initial pass was blocked because it looked like offside. Immaculate finish.
