5 ex and 1 current. Declan Gallagher concedes crucial penalty as SK steers his team to automatic relegation. Uncle Roy won't be happy.
-
Lets hope that Filip Lissah behaves himself tomorrow.
-
I hope McGhee is given a chance. Very well thought of in Dundee and as a friend said to me "He'd run through a brick wall for us and never gives up". Despite our undoubted quality, thats maybe a skillset/attitude we've lacked a little this season. In his sporadic brief appearances for us, he hasn't let us down.
-
I think thats it. Scottish football is a pretty small and parochial system and anything which upsets the apple cart isn't welcomed.
-
East Kilbride manager should have been a stick on nomination.
-
Only one objection to the proposed plans. The Sun however, covers it in depth and makes an issue of it.

Talk on P & B that Paul McGinn let slip that Callum Slattery is away at the end of the season. If proved true, that won't surprise anyone. He has his faults, but has been a good player and servant for us, intended or not. I wouldn't usually say this of a good player but I hope he does move on, for his own sake. He's a marked man and needs a fresh start.

10 minutes added on time yesterday after 7 being being announced at the end of normal full time. Thats highly unusual. The standard announcement is "a minimum of X minutes" but very, very rarely does that get extended, despite late hold ups. I can't recall the last time that happened.
-
Yes, a great save, and a great block from Jordan McGhee. Its interesting that he's being preferred to Liam Gordon.
-
100% agree. If any team in the league knows how to best us, its Falkirk and they will be an exceedingly tough nut to crack. But lets just enjoy a win at Ibrox for the moment. An excellent fighting display with a late winner. Whats not to like. I'm really chuffed for the souls who followed us there. Some good goals too. I'm a little miffed at some comments that I've read saying that Longelo's winner took a wild deflection and that Butland would have saved it otherwise 100 times out of 100. Yes, it took a deflection but a wild one - no. COYW.

I totally get your viewpoint, and although it isn't sporting to say so, any red card for Hibs benefits us in the run in. Likewise Callum Slattery's enforced absence benefitted them. At the business end of the season, it really is dog eats dog. Whilst it would be nice to round off the season in style, maintaining a clear gap over Hibs is more important. I just hope Slattery's yellow card doesn't trigger a further 2 match suspension. We've never been told the conditions attached to his suspended 2 game ban.
-
So, RCC and Slattery are back in contention, which is good news. However, its concerning that Koutroumbis and Thor are still not back in training. Will we see much of them before the season draws to a close? Results wise, I believe that today's derby in Edinburgh will be of more importance to us than our own game in Glasgow. At a minimum, no red cards or injuries please.
-
Ward is a decent keeper in the modern style. No more no less. Undoubtedly he's benefitted from the defence in front of him and our style. However, should he move on I'm sure he could be replaced with someone just as good.
-
It was Willie Miller of Hibs that done it.
-
Welcome aboard.

Time to vote folks.
-
Yes, it should indded. Ostensibly, very similar to the Callum Slattery incident and not dealt with on the field. Also recorded on TV. Clearly lessons have not been learnt. Will the media want to upset the Falkirk apple cart? Over to you SFA.
-
Can we now expect Henry Cartwright of Falkirk to be cited by the compliance officer for bringing the game into disrepute by blatantly diving. If a penalty had been awarded, a player would have been sent off and the game could have been won by cheating. Will John McGlynn comment?
-
That could be a very tricky and awkward position for him to be in. Unfair on the player. It shows the risks with loans.
-
It might have been different if a Scottish Government minister put pressure on them as happened with the use of pyros.
-
Good post. I don't agree with everything he says but I do so more often than not and I like listening to his honest opinions. It seems the SFA doesn't. As with society in general you will never learn anything by refusing to let others with a different opinion or perspective speak. You simply end up in an imploding echo chamber. I never have been impressed with the SFA but its very sad and unacceptable that they have taken this view. What next? Will they ban everyone who has ever criticised a referee. Whether they like it or not, refereeing standards are currently very poor and thats also down to the system not just the odd individual matchday official. They really do need to open themselves up and take on board comments, if they want to improve. Finally, they really ought to recognise the importance of the paying punter.

Only one objection to the plans.

A fair summing up Allan. A bit woolly and short on hard facts. A slight reduction for us. I'll be renewing in any event.

What would he cost, as he's under 24?
