Seems strange to me if we are considering closing the Cooper. If the team is in any sort of form and tickets are reasonably priced we should be able to muster a decent crowd. It is the Scottish cup after all and McCall isn't in charge. Gone are the days when the East Stand was crammed for the visit of Stirling Albion.

From memory, the home end was empty for the United game last year. Hopefully the return to January makes a difference.

Got to be happy with that. Although we're probably jinxed after McCall pulled out our ball.

This has the potential to be a very decent end to end game: it's been a while since we turned up at Firhill though.

Twardzik would have been roasted if that was him on Saturday. Ripley was slow off his line for the 1st and after getting caught out of position, his footwork was horrible for the 2nd. He also appears to have no spring in his jump when crossed balls come in. The big unit is nowhere near good enough at present.

After Albion Rovers away, I've gave up on wanting a decent away day. Diddy team other than Rangers at home will do fine. Delighted we're still in the cup after Christmas this year.

Lasley and Hammell really aren't your cup of tea are they? They both made a helluva difference yesterday.

Ripley's lack of agility and mobility has cost us numerous goals now. Samson might not be far off getting a game.

We're a different team when Marvin is on form. His goal capped off a motm performance. Moult's my absolute favourite though, great signing by Baraclough.

What a battle that was, enjoyed it from the first minute to the last. Ultimately, we were undone by a poor keeper but it would have been harsh on Hearts not to get a point. Good to see Marvin back on song and Skippy's influence growing.

In his pre-match interview this week, McGhee hoped that young players, namely Cadden, Thomas and Mackin, could be worked on by him and his staff with a view to being ready for the first team next summer. If Leitch gets an opportunity he needs to take it this time. Otherwise he'll be off in the summer.

What numbers make it work though? We could have every ST holder paying a tenner a month and we still would make a significant loss on current budget plans. At present, I think we're churning £5-10k a month while budgeting for top 6, player sale and cup-run. Viable option has to be presented to reignite fan interest.

How much was he looking to sell the club for?

Think there's a wee mixup with the predictor from last week. I received 7 points for a 1-1 at Tannadice. Whereas the boy above me got 1 point for the correct score.

Not easy but surely achievable. I don't see why we need to be different from the vast majority of clubs in the UK. I accept that Scottish football isn't of great appeal but if we prove to be self-sustainable then there will be businessmen interested.

The society was always going to get some media coverage this week given our Jambo love-in.

From the outside, he delivered nothing of note. Wonder who the next chairman/puppet will be.

Whether we are loking at short, medium or long term, questions need to be asked to why we have signed so many players since Les' arrival, many of which will never have any sell-on value.

How so many signings were authorised in the summer is beyond me. How many times do we need to flirt with administration, the club must live within its means and stop chasing pipedreams.

Respectable 2-0 defeat.

Les doesn't invest, he lends. One positive from today is McGhee's post match interview. Straight talking and well reasoned.

Clarkson is done. Absolutely done.

Injuries may be forcing his arm a little but I can't believe we go to Dingwall with 2 wingers and 2 strikers. Such naivety from Baraclough was why I never had any confidence in him. Given McGhee's experience we are entitled to expect better. At the very least, we should be difficult to beat.

Really dismal result, Too early to panic though, we're lucky to have Les and McGhee at the helm and a change in fortune is inevitable.

Who's left back today? Taylor?
