So against Hearts, Hamilton, Abderdeen and United today we have played well against the 10 men? No chance. Thats taking it a bit too far.

Gave it to Murphy. Looked dangerous again and was constantly running at their defence. Can't understand why he was subbed for O'Brien. Saunders did well, but faded badly at the end. Don't know if he was injured or just knackered but should have been subbed for the last 10. Almost gifted them a goal a few minutes before they equalised.

Why the fuck can we not play against 10 fucking men?? Nearly 20 years I've been going to the games and we still can't fucking learn to take hold a game when we've to the fucking extra man on the fucking park!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Squad update from Press Sport for Saturday. Jennings is a doubt, Hutchinson and Slane are in rehab!!

Who made the change from 451 to 442 in Perth then? Mourinho is never scared to make early changes and has learned to make it work for him. Not comparing Gannon to him, just giving a name. Plus people have been moaning for years the Butcher or Malpas or McGhee or McLeish or Davies always seemed reluctant to make changes and always left it until there was 10 or 20 minutes left before making changes. Now theres a guy there willing to take the chance, and now people are moaning about what they've been looking for for years.

Absolutely no need to make the O'Brien for Forbes change at half time. After that su and change of formation we totally lost our way. O'Brien contributed fuck all when he came on. When McHugh was brought on Sutton should have been the striker, if any, taken off. Lukas was looking the far more dangerous of the 2. Even when they were down to 10 we still played with no ugency at all. I'm all for playing possession football but to continue playing at walking pace for the majority of the 2nd half will get you nowhere.

SSN just announced Poyet as new Brighton boss

I'm really not worried but either of these rumours, especially Crewe. I don't think Gannon will be leaving us anytime soon. Heard a few reports tonight that Darren Ferguson has been sacked at Peterborough. If that turns out to be true I think he might well jump to the top of Brighton's list.

If you were to ask any Football Manager if they wanted to sell off their fringe players to free up cash to improve the squad/1st team, every single one of them would say yes. Gannon is no different from any manager in that respect and hasn't named one player he wants rid of, so I don't really see too much wrong with what's been said.

I think we manage a draw against them before they beat us on penalties.

Wallsend Boys Club, I think.

Celtic Hearts is tomorrow night.

Extra time needed tonight I think. Probably penalties too. Hateley to score for us.

More bullshit. Just because the Old Firm pay players big money doesn't mean to say that all (or any) of them are actually any good. Rangers have had Murray Park for years now, and what has it got them? Having the best facilities means fuck all if they aren't properly put to use, the manager/coaches are good enough and the players certainly aren't good enough. Our facilites up the Dalziel are of a pretty good standard, just because we don't own them or they aren't World class means nothing if the players put the effort in and want to be there. And really when it comes to 3pm on a Saturday where you train (within reason) really means fuck all. Who said we were World beaters? Is the just because we think we should be competing with the 'Giants of World Football' Celtic and Rangers for 90 minutes? More than realistic. As for being deluded how about you two wanting to join the Premiership or this fuckin' North Atlantic Sooper Dooper League. Both teams would get pumped on a regular basis. And as for claiming they would compete with the Big 4' after a few years, thats pish as well. The Old Firm have no divine right to go out and beat anyone, they have to 1) Be good enough and 2) Earn it. And frankly both teams are nowhere near good enough anymore and half the players look like they don't want to be there anymore. We've had two 0-0's against both now this season and TBH you'r lot we're the ones holding us to a draw and lucky not to leave Motherwell with a 2 or 3 nil drubbing, not even including the penalty.

Is Humphrey not on a 3 year deal? Really need to get everyone else signed up beyond this summer.

What a load of patronising bullshit.

I think Chick Young said on the radio a few weeks ago that Dorman had been crap so far this season and had been dropped. Though I think he was back last week and scored.

He's scored in their last 2 games. EDIT: Quick spy at their site shows Dargo hasn't missed a league game, started the last 5 games and came on as sub in the other 3. Only game he has missed was as an unused sub against Ayr in the cup. Mehmet though has scored 8 already this season. 5 in the League Cup v East Stirling and 1 v Ayr. He's got 2 league goals, 1 against Falkirk last week and a penalty against St Johnstone

I think Mehmet is only now starting to resemble a player because he has Craig Dargo upfront with him who does all the running and work for the 2 of them. Wouldn't have him anywhere near our team.

Seriously??? I fuckin' hate that big glaikit bastard. He's utter pish. Used to work with a St Mirren fan in Glasgow and he can't stand him either, says he's crap.

Definitely not beyond us to get 2 wins out of this. Though I'd gladly take a point on Saturday and a win on Tuesday. As long as they don't beat us on Saturday, as that will put them above us in the league, even though it'd only be for a week. I have a feeling that Tuesday's game will be decided either in extra time or penalties...or maybe even in 90 minutes.

I can't believe people are genuinely worried about this and looking for an official response. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn Gannon has a clause allowing him to talk to English teams. After all didn't Sheepmeh have one? I would reckon though it's probabl more something allowing him to talk to Championship and Premiership teams rather than any Englidh team.

Hearts fans seem to hate him. Although that probably has more to do with him hitting that ugly wee Jambo mutant square in the dish with the ball when playing for Falkirk.
