His drought at Burnley was pretty severe. Didn't manage a single goal for them.

Who was it standing behind him (I didn't really pay attention when I was watching the highlights)? He looked off and, I guess, could have been flagged as the ball was hit.

Was watching the game on Alba and the commentary was almost drowned out by the Tannoy. On the plus side, I know the numbers for the draw.

You sound like one of those Remain people that voted to Leave...

Scoring more than one goal has always been my preferred tactical approach.

Going way off topic with the Ins & Outs, but the club has to be self-sustaining. It doesn't matter if it's the Well Society or Fred Moneybags that owns it. If you think fan ownership is unsustainable, who's left sustain it? You can give away all the tickets you like, but there needs to be a team to watch. One thing seems pretty sure. If the Society hadn't been around to lend money to the club in the past few seasons we could all have been going to Fir Park for our weekly groceries.

Growing up in Hamilton, the Accies derby was always more important. Play a team 3 or 4 times a season, however, and it stops becoming such a big deal. As for Airdrie, I'm amazed at how people easily accept them as the real deal after they were liquidated and came back only via the Clydebank / Airdrie Utd route. That's the kind of thinking that let NewRangers convince the media they are OldRangers.

Campbell will be used when he's ready. According to Craigan the players in the U20s aren't as ready to step up as some fans think they are, and I trust his judgement. I'd expect Campbell to be getting games this year too, but we're not exactly swamped with midfielders right now.

I'm guessing his role was created in anticipation of the Well Society taking over the club and engaging as many fans as possible to participate.

The most cringeworthy title I have heard, and seems to be becoming more popular, is "Client Success Manager".

I've been watching this mob so long now, every game is a "would be nice if we won, but won't let it spoil my weekend" game.

Our record against "poor Hamilton sides" over the years isn't exactly stellar. Hopefully we will score more than once.

Vigur's goal against Aberdeen was OK.

I think McLeish has proved time and time again he is a decent coach, but terrible talent spotter. He tweaked wee Tommy's team's tactics and had them playing well, but then failed miserably when it was time to rebuild his own. The reason he got an easy ride from the media is because he was quite articulate and capable of dealing with them. That, plus his success as a player meant the average "how do you feel?" journo thought he was a genius.

McCloy left the club before I started going to games. It was his leaving that paved the way for McCrae. So I only remember him at Rangers. We got Bobby Watson and Brian Heron in exchange, so not a bad deal for us. Sproat was certainly entertaining and good keeper, but not the best I have seen. I remember one snowy day at Muirton where he had a mini snowball fight with fans while the play was at the other end.

Same as against Dundee. We can't score.

Even with investors who wiped out their bank loans and gave them a good deal on their debt, United ended up skint and relegated. I'm much happier with our current model.

Or with a new manager.

He certainly had all the skills to be a winger, including a terrific delivery of a cross. Very cultured left foot in an era when defenders were often cloggers.

That too! Did he not end up in goals in his first game for us?

And let the "Always come back to haunt us" confirmation bias begin....

Keith McCrae for one. Andy Goram was probably a better keeper overall than Randolph, but not when he played for us. None of that takes away from how brilliant Randolph was for us.

Keith McCrae for one.

The biggest problem in recent times was our policy to never pay transfer fees. Most of the good players from lower leagues were being sold rather than freed.

For me, there was Joe Wark then everybody else. It's difficult to explain to anyone who didn't see him play just how good he was. Perfect timing in the tackle, crunching but fair, great game reading skills,precision curled passes up the left touchline time after time, picked up his first yellow card after about 15 years in the game. And to cap it all, used to entertain with his ball juggling skills if there was a stoppage in play. Tom Boyd started off in the middle of defence playing a sweeper type role, but really grew into the left back role when he became a little stronger and faster. Another one who had great game reading skills. Then there was Derek Murray whose main skill seemed to be standing 3 yards too far off his man and never quite being in the right place.
