Ya Bezzer!

I tend to agree with you. The Government is on record as saying it predicts a February peak for Omicron so I don't see anyway for football to be opening up in 3 weeks time. Perhaps there will be better understanding of the virus and better data that will mean restrictions could be lifted in stages but at this stage we don't really know what's going to happen. The Government can't play poker with people's lives.

Members of my family have been in intensive care with Covid. It's no joke. Personally my booster appointment isn't until after Christmas and the extreme infection rate of this variant is probably going to be a big problem. I thought hard about going to the last game. It was most likely games were going to be cancelled anyway from player infections like they have down south (which is a bit ahead of us in terms of infection spread). It's football. We can park it for a while. I wish everything was like it was pre-virus but it isn't and we have to make sacrifices for the greater good. Stay safe everyone.

In 19 matches this season Livingston have only scored more than one goal twice. So if we score we should at least get a point. Ref might also be busy. Livingston and ourselves are the worst offenders in the league for fouls. Livingston have been, surprisingly perhaps, good at the back this season. 6 clean sheets in the last 15, only conceded more than 1 goal four times this season.

Will also clash with Arbroath next season!

I dunno why Callum Hendry is such a pariah at McDiarmid. Better than anyone else they have up front but they either bench him or fire him out on loan. There was a similar situation at St Mirren last season when they couldn't score for toffee and consistently left our their best goalscorer Obika. Manager's make it hard for themselves sometimes.

Watt was excellent first half but faded in the second half. Going to go for Mugabi.

Not our best performance, game was pretty scrappy and basically died after we got our second but a welcome and deserved 3 points. Nicely taken goal by Cornelius and some nice skill by VV for his goal. Also worth noting Liam Kelly making an absolutely terrific save 2nd half to give us another clean sheet and a more comfortable closing stages. St Johnstone look in big trouble, probably created more chances than us, at least first half, but never really looked like scoring. If you exclude the two OGs they have scored 7 goals in 18 matches and only twice in the last 10.

We'll see how Donnelly does but disappointed that Maguire is not playing, he's not in the squad so you have to assume he's not been dropped and there is another reason. Otherwise much as expected.

I don't like reversed colours for strips. I don't think they are different enough. Look at Celtic this season. Bring out two white and green change kits and then they have to wear last seasons black away kit against Hibs because their home kit and two change strips all clash with Hibs. Maybe you can do it with goalkeeper kits but in terms of away kits I think we need different colours.

More or less live next to Fir Park. It was a peasouper this morning but it has burned off and it's actually the nicest day for ages now. I'd wrap up though.

I've heard this Omicron strain is up to 70 times more infectious as it infects the windpipe rather than air sacs deep in the lungs. The way they are talking this is going to be the biggest Covid challenge yet and the likelyhood is that it is going to effect every club in the next month or so.

This was the same day I saw someone literally getting thrown through a window of Centre Focus like in a cowboy movie.

Fucking idiotic from Slattery there!

Hibs fans moaning about the quality of football so might look else where!

In my time which is from about 1982-ish the only players to outscore Arnott were Kirk, Sutton and McDonald. There is a wee bit controversy about Arnott's actual league goal tally because some sources give him a goal away to Hibs and other sources credit it as an OG. So it's either 58 or 59 depending on who you believe, can't remember what the 'official' one is. Coyne scored 57 but in a lot less games.

Well that's us going on a bad run again!

Obviously we've quite a few better goal scorers than Arnott but the thing about him is you could probably play him up front with just about anyone you liked and you'd have a great partnership. My Top 5 would be Tommy Coyne Scott McDonald Louis Moult Dougie Arnott Michael Higdon Owen Coyle was a good striker but he wasn't with us for that long and in the event of a tiebreaker playing for Airdrie takes you out of contention!

It's a subtle way of saying I want to give her a 'we beat you' smirk!

Apparently no one likes Scott McDonald. Would be in my Motherwell XI with Tommy Coyne. Dougie was great though. A wee guy in an era when defenders could assault you, he took his bumps and was injured a lot, but he was a player. Only problem was he could only score against the Old Firm. Off the top of my head something like 25 of his 60 ish goals for Motherwell were against Rangers and Celtic. Wish we had that problem now! His utter destruction of European Cup winning Basile Boli is one of my all time favourite memories.

When anything goes wrong at a Championship or lower level club they always blame everything on the Scottish guy (manager/player/coach etc). Don't see them going for two Scots in a row!

My other half is a Celtic fan and the last time we beat them was about two months before I met her. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Looking forward to Charles Dunne's defending on Sportscene tonight. I mean they shipped 4 so I can only assume....

Maddock had to go after making ungentlemanly comments about Port Glasgow Athletic's silk knickers. And we were even worse in 1904-05 than we were were in 1903-04. We actually finished bottom of the league in 1904-05 as opposed to second bottom the season before.

Decent result.

Hibs form is so atrocious it kinda makes you believe we'll lose this one.
