We could take Man Utd, assuming they actually qualify for Europe....

Back page of the h*n, must be true then.....

Nielsen by a mile tonight. His best game so far, not that he had much to compare with.Solid, assured and only one instance when he didn't call for the ball leaving Hutch a bit in no mans land. Tonight's showing will hopefully do wonders for his and the defences confidence.Thought young Carswell did a proper shift tonight as well.

Going tonight and hoping for at least a 3-0, but will take any victory. Just hope that ICT are still in the doldrums after the weekend and Yogi can work his usual man management magic....

Of course it has something to do with our club as they have either a) deliberately helped keep an allegedly corrupt official in the highest office in the governing body of Scottish football or b) been so apathetic about what occurs in our game that they are quite happy to let things roll along to bring secco to the top table. I for one would happily see Turnbull Hutton run the show; a man who appeared to show a great deal of integrity when others navel gazed. As far as Ian being a Well fan/genuine, if he is the same Ian on TSFM, then he is def a dosser, and has added some great insight/posts in this affair. It is a matter for yourself whether you care or don't care about who runs our game but it is that blinkered attitude that has helped lead us to where our fantastic national game is now. Just because other people do care about what goes on in the hallowed hallways of power doesn't mean they have an agenda, it simply means they care about the bigger picture. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

Great result today, Faddy showing what a lass ac the can be and the young lads generally playing well especially Jack Leitch.Good to see Hollis back in goals though to be fair he didn't have much to do. Funny how his stock has risen dramatically without him kicking a ball...Well done to all today in a game that, I had the fear about!

I would happily take a draw tonight with the injury list we've got.

McCoist and Henry Smith, in equal measures!

We won't see Law at Fir Park again, unless he's playing for someone else. He'll be moving on as part of the administration process. Still give the fecker dogs though...

Was at that game too WP. Got very nasty walking down Gorgie Road after the match!Have to say for me though driving all the way up from Sheffield to Aberdeen to watch us knock the sheep out the cup in 91 was top notch, as was the drinking session that night in Embra..

Not only have we achieved a level of consistency that is up there with the best teams of yesteryear but under SMC we have produced 2 teams that are pleasing on the eye, play exciting football and have formed the type of camaraderie and loyalty that other teams can only envy. Not looking at this with rose tinted specs but when he took the job, I said SMC could build himself a reputation second to none, and I think bar a couple of blips he's done that.The fact that we've actually got into Europe on a yearly basis, should be remembered before we have a pop at our early exits at the hands of better and far wealthier teams....

I think it's the only time being a Well fan, that I actually thought "how many are we gonna win by this week?" Happy Days...

Think the biggest compliment I saw yesterday was a thread started on kickback where a lot of Jambos wanted SMC as their next manager.... Deluded fools...

In Neilsen, we've now got a keeper who at nearly 7ft doesn't come for crosses and doesn't boss the box or his defence. He has week wrists and hands which explains the lack of catches and the piss poor parries he makes. The 2 central boys clearly don't trust him or his judgement(see above jaunt into no mans land). A big lad like that should scare the living day lights out of everyone around him but he doesn't... Fair play, he made a couple of good stops yesterday, but for me his cons far outweight his pros. I hope SMC busts a gut to get Hollis operated on and Dan back on loan..

Hard going today... should have been well ahead at half time, and for whatever reason lost the plot in the second half. Thought big Hutch played v well, that aside thought we struggled in the second half against a team of keen youngsters. Collum is a disgrace, some of his decisions defied belief... All in all a great 3 points; special mention to the bois, brilliant toady sang all game even without the drum to begin with.

Tbf, spoke to 2 hertz season ticket holders yesterday and they have the fear about this game and can easily see the above scoreline tomorrow...

Yep, that's what I said..

I think as history proves unless we actually win a trophy, most hacks see us as a quirky wee diddy provincial club that has been punching way above our weight for the last 5/6 years. When we won in 91 the media as it was then was slavering about the family final and how good it was that fantastic event was played out without either of the ugly sisters being involved... However they soon went back to their Glasgowcentric drivel...I don't really care if we are the media's darlings, I don't even care if we're put on last every week on sportscene. While one ugly sister languishes in the lower leagues, the pundits/hacks will always look to the new firm(Pish expression) to garner favour from their perceived viewing audience.We will never be spoken about in the same favoured tones as the so called bigger clubs, but that's fine, I'd soon get bored of the adulation anyway...

Angle Park Terrace(start of Lanark Road) just along from the Athletic Arms. A Hertz pub but good beer and banter...

As was the Thistle game, but me,you and another 1500+ dossers turned up...

Tbf, there is a world of a difference between that Sevco mob and those young lads at swinecastle. They have had the stuffing kicked out off them, and Gary Locke is struggling to get them organised into a proper team. In their heads and in their hearts(excuse the pun) they're already down. I normally have a natter with Lockey when picking the kids up from school, but seeing his face in recent weeks, the poor bugger looks like a condemned man....So that said now is the time to go watch us hopefully hammer them...

Yer joking!!!! A very good chance of us giving the Jambos a proper skelping for the last time in a long time....Worth every penny!!!! In their own midden that is....

Gonna be in the Caley Sample Room prior to the match Andy if you're wanting a birthday drink off me.....

Hearts are a team of young boys who have a boat load of enthusiasm and not much else. Time and time again this season they have come up against seasoned pros and have got 2nd prize. Games that were must wins like St Mirren and Killie, they were out thought and outplayed. You would have expected them to raise their game for the Embra derby, but again the score flattered them. I can't see SM letting the team's focus drop after what happened with Albion Rovers. Can't see past a Well victory by at least 2/3 goals..

Have to say had his dad not been who he was I doubt if this thread would even exist. I personally thought he was an above average player who often frustrated folk but who also linked well with Humphrey. He earned his right to move on and I wish him all the best after he clearly made a bad choice listening to his pa and his buddy.
