Did we once get a win at Dunfermline with a last minute goal scored by Paul Mills. Seem to remember some big argument about one of our players getting stretchered off, then we scored and everyone went mental. Just a random memory that popped into my senile head
Yes, we did. The crowd was going mental at the ref that day before Mills popped up with the last minute winner.
Not quite sure what the script was with him as I remember many players saying he had a big future "if he shows the right attitude". He certainly had talent, so I'm guessing something else went wrong.

With the exception of Saturday at Parkhead, the online commentary is mostly live from 230pm every week and is fairly easy to access as far as I am aware. Has here been many issues with it not working for people?
KJ
There was on game recently where many users couldn't even log in and commentary wasn't available until well into the second half, but generally it has not been a problem.
Overall I have been happy with the service and been enjoying all the extra interviews, U-19/Bounce Game highlights etc. Plus the commentaries are excellent when you're an ex-pat. Also like the fact that the goals are posted before they make it to the Beeb's web site.
Definitely been worth it for me so far, and the live game streaming is going to make it unbeatable value.

Where was that taken? Tynecastle? Easter Road maybe?
Muirton Park is my guess (or maybe Tannadice).

We'll either get a point from a tight game or lose by 4 (or maybe lose by 1). Or squeak a jammy win..
Think that covers it.

But if we keep punching above our weight I'll be happy.
Enough of that. It's 11 against 11, not 30kg vs 100 kg.

One thing I will say is that this chance we have to finish 2nd is a one time affair
*cough* 1995 *cough*

Of course not, but the harsh reality is that we are no match whatsoever for Celtic. And I for one hate having to say that, but it's the truth.
Of course not. But from your regular predictions, you don't seem to think we are a match for anyone.

A couple of flutes would go down a treat
A wee bit premature to be drinking Champagne, no?

Goals are now up on MFC TV.

Surprised to hear our defending was so bad though?
Hibs seem to able to do that to our defence. Maybe just our style of play, but guys like Riordan, Stokes, O'Connor, Griffiths etc. have been giving us a hard time for years.

Can remember us scoring one in 7-1 win at Clydebank in 81/82, either Irvine or Cleland?
Possibly Skippys first in THAT game?
That's the first one that sprang to mind for me.
And it was Bruuuuuuciieeeeeee

Going back to playing The Pet Shop Boys - Go West would be much better than those remixes!
That plus 'Soft Cell- Tainted Love' is all that's ever been needed at Fir Park.

Higdon.... Attacking.....
Centre Forward + Top Scorer = Attacking.

I would like to see Humphrey/Daley back in, not because im his only fan but the fact we can still have that attacking look to the team.
You mean Murphy, Higdon, Ojamaa isn't an attacking look?
-
I think the "big crowd, big letdown" is unfounded. Much like the "we always help teams end their winless streak" It's just that they tend to stick in fans' memories.

We found out pretty quickly on our journey to Denmark that Odense is pronounced nothing like how we say it. The 'd' is pretty much silent, it was pronounced locally more like "oons". Bizarre.
Aye, I'm sure everybody from Strathaven and Milngavie were scratching their heads over that one
-
Yes regularly.
I think he meant Motherwell games.

With our track record? Not atall unfortunately.
Since all the pitch problems were addressed, the only track record that counts is this season. As there haven't been any issue, it will be on.

Very interesting reading. It suggests that Jennings might be wise taking a yellow tomorrow night so he sits out the Celtic game.
[counting chickens] Do we not want to beat Celtic so we can move above Rangers that day? [/counting chickens]

I'd be happy with Carswell. If for some reason McCall doesn't fancy him, how about Ojamaa slotting into midfield and bringing in McHugh?
Or is that just an idea I should forget about untial after the caffeine has kicked in?

I know what you mean, find it quite odd and possibly worrying that we were going to allow this laddie (who has kick-started our season) to leave after a trial, as we couldnt offer him a decent deal
a) why the fuck did we have him on trial in the 1st place, if there was no cash about
b) why did we tell the boy that we couldnt offer him anything, before managing to find his 'bus fare' money when he begged for a contract
c) McCall reckoned that when he did sign that he wasnt sure if he was ready for the 1st team
d) why was the boy scratching about for a contract in the 1st place
It shows there are gems out there, its just a matter of finding them.
I don't think there is anything worrying about it all for a club in our position. We had zero money in the budget, so took a guy on trial who said he was more interested in playing than getting a 'big' wage.
From what McCall said, he looked decent during his trials, but there were still some concerns - in particular, he didn't manage to score one goal in all his games. Also remember this guy had bounced around a few teams without making a breakthrough.
However, we could get him cheap, so we signed him on peanuts until the end of the season to see how he worked out. Once he got his chance in the first team and proved himself, the board made an exception and allowed McCall extra money to tie him up.
I would argue, therefore, we took a low risk approach that has paid dividends. Of course, every manager has stories about players that passed them by. I read this morning that Fergie missed out on Joe Hart for 100 grand.

Aye I agree It will happen one day that was what I said in my first post
It will happen 2 days, no? Then we join the Europa Cup boys

You and me both, but I fear that is exactly where we'll end up.
