For all the people that like to say we never win our "must win" games - here's one for the collection.

Always enjoy coming onto these threads after FT to read all the doom merchants mid game.

At least its not baseball where they play 162 games each before they get to the playoff stage (which is effectively wiping the points off everyone). And even after 162 games the teams haven't still all played each other.

I don't care about that, but I do care that teams like ours are regularly screwed out of home gates, and that the integrity of the league is negatively impacted by teams not having played each other the same amount of total times (or the same amount of times home/away). This could be partially addressed by reverting to the split of gate money, but the teams like Celtic who want a more competitive league aren't going to ever go back in that direction in case it results in a more competitive league.

I would rather see them announce the split is being scrapped at the start of the season and re-introduce a league system based on playing the same number of games home and away.

I agree he won't win it, but for me "What might have been", given the massive turnover in personnel, is that we could have been fighting out with Hibs. Disappointed with the cup results, but pleasantly surprised how competitive we have been at the top end of the table.

If we finish 2nd, he has a chance, but our woeful performance in the Cups this season will count against him (despite his success in rebuilding a team after losing the core of his last squad).

Apparently. Twitter saying that only Lawson, Hollis and Ramsden are out the squad. And Hollis has been recovering quicker than expected and was close to a return.

Evening Times saying Faddy will be a late fitness test as McCall doesn't want to take any chances on his hammy. Meanwhile, Twitter reporting that Kerr and Erwin back fit and in the squad.

Ach, just put the guy out of his misery and admit that you are the seller and you faked it yourself.

and all he achieved.

Big risk/reward with Gordon, I'd imagine. If he stays fit, he'll be a cracking signing for any team. If his injury problems return, he's the waste of a contract. Pay per play would be ideal for a club like ourselves, but I could also see him picking up a player/coach contract somewhere so, if he does get injured again, he will still be able to earn his keep.

on the plus side, your quality of posts has remained steady

Aye, Craigan was a silky addition to our attacking force last season.

Aye, you must miss Big Higgy.

MFC TV typically has their own footage, although once in a while they just post BBC Alba's video up instead. The Ross County highlights looked like they were from the club's camera, but I didn't see the Vigurs piece on there either.

It would have been great for McCall to add a Cup win with us to his CV, but he has certainly exceeded all my expectations with his time at the club. His entire approach to the game has made us an attractive team to watch - of course, with the downside that when it's not working it can be painful. I believe, however, that statistically he is now our most successful postwar manager for the top division. His other great attribute is his media relations. He always comes across upbeat and enthusiastic, and he continually tries to talk up the Scottish game - both at our club and our opponents. He has certainly made mistakes (learned from some and not from others) but his successes outweigh those and I would be very happy for him to sign an extension for another year or two.

He's certainly made all the right noises about wanting to stay and seems to have found a place where he can secure regular first team football - so still hopeful he will be here next season.

In all the interviews I have seen/heard Ainsworth give he has been saying how much he is enjoying his football here and how he would like to extend his time at the club. Given how much McCall likes to play with a pacy winger, I'm hopeful Lionel will take a deal for next season.

Cooper was a great asset to that team, no doubt. Wee Tommy assembled that squad from back to front and started off making us hard to beat. Adding guys like Russell transitioned us to a more attacking force, and DC was icing on the cake. I remember when he became available that a move to Hearts seemed most likely. Then, I was reading the Evening Times at Argyle Street station and saw he had joined us. Was delighted at the time, and the Russell/Cooper combination was a joy to watch at times.

Just watched the highlights. Vigurs strike was a screamer and Faddy did well to finish it off as he had to hit it back across himself with his weaker foot. Not as easy as he made it look. Moore's shot totally deceived Brown with the movement he got on it. Nice to see quality efforts from outside the box.

Like Law, Higdon, Randolph, Hateley, Henrik etc. when he goes, he goes and the club will carry on regardless. And if he goes to Sevco, we can make fun of him when we finish above them on their return to the SPFL (or administration -whatever comes first).

Sevco wanting Hutch is not the same as Hutch wanting Sevco.

The world will end and there will be no more European football.
