I think 'lyricist' is being pretty generous.

Goes back further than that - Joe Wark was the last man I remember having the benefit of a player in space when he took a shy.

I don't even remember the score (I think it was 0-0 or 1-1), but the night Stevie Kirk got sent off at Love Street after an 'incident' with Billy Abercrombie. Abercrombie eventually followed him, but not until he had been given 2 red cards (and received a 3rd in the tunnel). You don't get to witness things like that very often. Other memorable games would include the 5-4 Killie match, 2 - 0 win at Cowdenbeath in the Cup, the 1 - 0 last game of the season at Tynecastle that, thanks to Killie knocking in 6 in their game, prevented Hearts being promoted, winning 7 -1 at Kilbowie against a good Clydebank side, Brian McLair scoring 5 goals in consecutive games against the OF, Joe Wark (unusually for him) gifting a goal to Hearts and then playing like a man possessed to ensure we beat them 4 - 2 and, of course, the Cup Final.

It will end up along the lines of "Lift-off" or "Booster", mark my words. "Leg-Up" might make the cut, but "Leg-Over" probably won't.

I'm a big fan of the German model, but the fact that they get 375 million quid a season from TV helps keeps those ticket prices down. Imagine what we could do with 30 million guaranteed every year.

No point in blaming Doncaster for that one. The chairmen screwed over the fans with TV deals long before he arrived on the scene.

So that's a "no" then.

Like working out why you signed up for them in the first place?

If you're Ross Forbes it is the pelters. Give a player some encouragement and he might do something positive.♠ I agree up to a point, but if you look at all the negativity around this place when we started the year with a decent wee run in Europe (playing to our seeding) are sitting in the top 6, and heading to a SC Quarter at the weekend, then I think it's easy to show we are less tolerant than many other team's fans. There were people calling for McCall to get the boot before he even sat in the manager's chair. In the 40 years or so I have been watching this shower, this is definitely one of our more sucessful seasons.

As soon as the players stop taking pelters for one misplaced pass.

You're making me feel old. I was at that game - unfortunately the team didn't turn up To be fair though, that was a Dundee Utd side who could take 6 off anyone on their day,

Quoted for unintentional irony

Which, of course, is the biggest argument against 10-team SPL. More teams scared of relegation = more survivialist football.

Often by me First of all, our most recently successful teams have been full of skill players. Of course you need one or two ball winners, but there seems to be an attitude in Scottish football that fit and hard is more important than being able to pass a ball or beat a man. More importantly for me, I know we aren't likely to win the league in my lifetime. So watching the games is with a view to being entertained. If I had to watch a style of play like St. Mirren or the current Accies team every week, I would give up. When I want to see players running hard and knocking lumps out of each other I switch on the rugby.

Aye, Thistle were our bogey team for quite a while. It also wasn't too long ago that we were pretty much responsible for keeping a poor Dundee side in the SPL through the number of points we gave them.

And not to forget Joe Wark.

I agree with that. For a core of 3500 - 4000 or so, 800 is a pretty decent return.

Wigan would be struggling to make top 6 in the SPL, even if they kept their current budget. Reduce it to SPL levels and McCarthy would have been as well sticking with Accies.

Out of that 3500, how many aren't aware of the survey? How many think it is a waste of time (based on previous experience)? The last UK election had a 65.1% turnout. 23% for a footy questionnaire isn't too shabby.

At least in my lifetime, Celtic have tended to play more of a passing game, which has suited our style. Rangers have been more a of a power based team (i.e. bunch of bruisers) which we always find more difficult to cope with.

"Rollercoaster" annoys me, but not as much as "Punching above our weight".

It's an area with which I'm not completely unfamiliar Do you need a hand with something?
