  1. Before last night the last time I missed a home game was in 2010 and we thrashed St. Johnstone 4-0. Maybe I should just stop going!
  2. Missing my first home match in 7 years tonight. What a one to miss!
  3. Went for McHugh - thought he showed a bit of calm and composure when others were hacking at it.
  4. Unlike today we'll be up against a couple of rough house strikers who will put themselves about. Not exactly our strong suit.
  5. Pretty much. We have a coach who's tactic is 'shitefest to 10th'. Huge game, must win, we did and I'm thankful for that but......there was just so much wrong today. The tactics, the quality, the level of performance, the decision making. We scraped a win against an awful Accies team and still nearly blew it at the end. Hopefully we can get the win midweek, guarentee 10th and just bury this season under 6 feet of earth. Big, big changes required.
  6. Grant Hanley was signed for £6 million.
  7. How ever has Row L Seat 84 can play left back over either of those two!
  8. A Scottish Cup win, a Championship title, another Scottish Cup semi final and a League Cup Final and 50% increase in attendances?
  9. It wasn't a disaster. He got us top 6 last season. I wouldn't advise you hold your breath until we are in that position again.
  10. This criticism has always baffled me. What good leader, never mind, football manager doesn't have an ego? Were Alexander the Great, Napolean, Jim McLean or Fergie shy retiring types?
  11. It's impossible to say if McGhee would have kept us up but I've said it before and I'll say it again - McGhee is the only manager who has done anything other than scrap along the bottom with Austerity Motherwell. Personally I think he should have been given at least one more game, the match at Kilmarnock, but the supporter reaction to the Dundee match really panicked the club into making the choice that they did. What was that choice? To replace McGhee with a vastly inferior manager. Since then we have dropped to second bottom, our goal difference is worse and our points per match average has basically stayed the same (actually decreased by a very small margin) despite having an easier run of matches. Our performances have been poorer over a more sustained period and in actuality changing the manager hasn't made any positive impact. Given McGhee's record, and the clear lack of potential quality replacements, I think we were a little bit hasty in the decision. However it's also true that McGhee's behaviour had become erratic and bizarre and he seemed to have lost the players. Was it a phase or something more serious? We'll never know because history didn't transpire that way.
  12. It would be absolutely hilarious if Rangers signed Heneghan. It would be absolutely tragic if Rangers signed Moult.
  13. Dundee Utd have been up and down all season but are finishing in decent form. They have more goal power than Falkirk with Murray, Andreu and Mikkelsen. Their achilles heel is they aren't great defensively but neither are Falkirk I still fancy United to get through to the final. All the chat is that the Championship has been fairly weak this season, no great teams. I think any of the Premiership teams will be strong favourites to win.
  14. I don't mind changing the short colours here and there for variety but basically our colours are amber shirt, claret hoop, white shorts and I think we need to get back to the more traditional strip. Far and away the best strip we've ever had was the one we wore in a friendly against Leeds Utd a few years back. Absolute belter.
  15. Blyth and Bowman have 12 starts 15 subs and 1 goal between them. El Bahktaoui's has 11 starts 15 subs and 3 goals. 3 x as many goals for, presumably half the wage outlay. El Bahktaoui's 3 goals would make him our 3rd top scorer behind Moult and McDonald. And putting aside the stats - he's just a much more capable player than certainly Blyth and probably Bowman as well. 'Making any sort of impact' can sometimes come down to the manager preferring to play a big guy like Haber up front on his own and the style of football employed - which probably hasn't been in El Bahktaoui's favour.
  16. The sticking plasters over his ears should have given it away.
  17. Hammell, Lasley, Campbell, or McHugh. McHugh was involved in that calamitous goal although Jules put him right in it, Hammell went off, that leaves Lasley and Campbell and I'll give it to Campbell. He went off as well though although who knows why....
  18. One time I saw Jens Lehmann buying plastic cutlery in the pound shop. Guess that was a sign we were staying up on a technicality.
  19. The team probably deserved to be relegated on Saturday's performance. If we don't sell out the stand at Accies the supporters deserve to be relegated too.
  20. Incredible! It's not what you know, it's who you know....
  21. Darren Young basically walked out on them. Must have another club lined up you'd imagine.
  22. I agree and disagree with various parts of what you've said there but I particularly agree with the transfer strategy. There's a young lad, 22 years old, at Airdrie called Andy Ryan who scored 23 goals in 32 league matches this season. Stand out in the division, almost single handedly put Airdrie in the promotion play offs. Meanwhile we sign guys like Blyth and Bowman. I'm sticking my neck out here but I'm saying if Andy Ryan had been given the same opportunities as Blyth and Bowman have he might just have equaled their 1 goal tally. Do we even look at these players? I don't know if he could cut it at this level but I see us signing players who I know can't.
  23. I can reveal then that my mystery player was none other than James Keatings. Obviously not come to pass.
  24. Falkirk had nearly a thousand more fans at their match against Queen of the South. They haven't posted a sub 4,000 crowd this season in the league. Here's a list of our attendances that are worse than Falkirk's lowest attendance which was 4,170. Dundee - 4,078 Dundee - 4,002 Ross County - 3,870 Partick Thistle - 3,759 St. Johnstone - 3,739 Inverness C. Thistle - 3,696 Kilmarnock - 3,684 St. Johnstone - 3,588 Aberdeen - 3,428 Ross County - 3,177 Inverness C. Thistle - 3,131 Falkirk's average league attendance was 5,032. Ours (including matches against Rangers and Celtic) was 4,436. Dunfermline also had a higher average attendance - 4.438. Their crowds tend to fluctuate more but they had 6 home matches with more than 5,000 in attendance compared to our 2 (Rangers and Celtic).
