There will be no shortage of rich idiots happy to throw some money at the Govan mob. They may not be as free spending as they used to be, but it won't take much to push them up towards the top of the table.

Admittedly, I'm a bit further away, but it looked OK to me too.

Err. Aye.

Listening to McGhee he seems to have the same opinion as the rest of us - that we stood too far off first half and let them play, but better in 2nd half when we pressed more. Still enjoying my beer and curry tonight while I watch the boxing, so not too disappointed.

If it's tight is the guidance not that the benefit is given to the attacking player?

After the start to the season, delighted we are safe in the top 6. Even a month ago I thought 7th or 8th would be a great success. Looking forward to watching the play-offs now!

Tepid.

I'll be delighted if we keep the 1 point.

You could also mention how the fans are about to own our club instead of some greedy Americans who borrowed money against the club's assets and use the income to pay themselves millions every year. Of course, then you could be accused of being jealous of them and all they have achieved...

We have brought in 2 youth players who established themselves as first team regulars, and guys like Thomas on the fringe. We have also recruited younger players like Kennedy (22), Moult (23) and Laing (23) with an expectation of selling them. If we can do that every season we will be in decent shape. From what McGhee said in his Manager of the Month interview, it certainly sounds like he wants us to still invest in small transfer fees to complement the youth programme.

So are you saying we didn't sign him on loan from a Championship team? Or just that he didn't play for Reading from 2009 - 2016? My point still stands. There are plenty of Jake Taylors in the lower half of the Championship just as there are EPL level players in the top half.

It's not about chasing. Each of the models you mentioned continue to be successful to a large degree. Of course there are ups and downs depending on the talent pool, internal politics etc. but it seems we are still too parochial in the way we address the grass roots. What makes that even more galling is that the UEFA coaching schools we run are regarded as some of the best in Europe.

Exactly.

Very much this. That's what makes it so ridiculous he is still viewed as a top flight senior official. He just makes so many poor decisions and, by all accounts, is an arrogant twat along with it. A classic case of always being picked last when he was a boy.

Not sure if it's better for us if Aberdeen win or lose against Hearts. If they win, I guess we'll see how the current Celtic players react to the pressure. Was watching the Cletic highlights at the weekend and while I thought the scoreline flattered them a little, that boy from Man City looked useful.

So what we're saying is that we got it wrong and Championship player Jake Taylor is actually better than SPFL standard?

Never liked that Dundee side.

The Rangers v St Mirren game has no bearing on the title, but that's why they moved it.

Sounds like we should ask the authorities to change the kickoff time to ensure fair play. That precedent has been set in place recently with the St. Mirren game nonsense.

As long as we finish above 10th, I'll still be happy. Top 6 finish would be a huge bonus, but not as important as keeping us away from the bottom 2.

Maybe we should have taken an extra point from one of our other games to have made sure.

I'm OK with Celtic losing tonight and against us.

Scottish players' failures down south has more to do with their character than their talent. Granted, recent parachute payment agreements hve meant a large sum of money flowing to talent in the top Championship teams, but watch a few games with teams in the bottom third and you'll see your fair share of mediocrity. I spent a few years going to Portman Road to watch Ipswich after they had been relegated, and some matches were reminiscent of our 80s spell in the First Division.

I'm sure he took it seriously too - just worried he might try to overthink thing again if he got the chance. I wouldn't want to pass up the chance of another Euro spot, but I'd almost prefer McGhee got an extra couple of weeks pre-season with the team than have an early start again.

The funniest part was Ainsworth holding his head in anguish at sclaffing his shot and then watching it go in. Looked like his left foot just gave way under him as he hit it, but no way the keeper should have let it in. Happy to take it, though.
