I have a triangle & a glockenspiel that I could bring to the Dunfermline game?

He's certainly not been deserving of the abuse he'd been getting, that much is true. The guy has scored some valuable goals earlier in the season, and now he's come onto a game on top of that. In short, he's a key reason why we're sitting where we are.

I agree. I may be mistaken, but haven't we seen McCall change things up when playing the Old Firm this season? Going more defensive? Whenever I've seen teams getting anything off either of them, it's been because they went right for them. We should do the same.

I know I shouldn't, but I feel more optimistic going into this game against Celtic than I usually do with games at Parkhead. We've been playing well of late, and there's always the possibility that Celtic will take the foot off the gas with the title all but won. A slim chance I know. Am I right in thinking that Lasley is available for this game? If he is, he surely must go right back into our midfield? I'd play the exact same team that started against Hearts, unless there's any injuries or suspensions that I don't know about?

Big Higdon really showed what he was made of last night. A top class performance.

There will be a certain amount of people with season tickets who don't make it, and perhaps people who have traded their voucher already but find they can't make it due to work committments or whatever. I doubt we'll get 11,000, but as I said, a decent crowd on a night like tonight is a real bonus.

I'm just happy we're getting a decent crowd on what will be a terrible Wednesday night in February. A bit of a bonus really.

I disagree. His confidence is up and he's linking up better with Ojamaa than he did with Murphy. Whatever way you slice it up, having Ojamaa next to him has improved his game.

With the season a few months further along than it was when I started this thread I think the question still stands. I found this article from the Scotsman dated March 14th 2004. It's good to look back on an article almost eight years old and still see him doing the business for the club, arguably better than he's ever been.

Hibs lost 5-0 to Celtic today, so morale should hopefully be low with them going into the game on Wednesday.

Great news. It's always good to hear that our youngsters are getting some recognition from the national side. They best enjoy it while they can. If they progress to the full squad they'll likely get sod all by way of international recognition unless they move to Dundee United

I noticed when watching the interview with Murphy that the audio still comes through only one speaker. Any idea why this is happening?!?

Exactly. If we concentrate on winning our games as they come along we'll do just fine. As far as I'm concerned, top six and a decent cup run was the aim at the start of the season. We've moved into a position where top four is likely, and we're looking at a tasty cup tie with Aberdeen. The season is already a success in my book. Anything more is a bonus.

You seriously think St Johnstone are capable of overhauling a ten point (possibly thirteen point by Wednesday) difference? I can't see it.

The goals are up on MFCTV

Exactly. Whilst Ojamaa is definately a superb wee player, I think it's more to do with the introduction of that type of player in that position that's made the difference. Murphy is starting to look a bit more like his old self, and big Higdon is a different player from the one who was getting pelters from the home support a few months ago. Long may it continue is all I'll say.

Yeah, I can see Craggs being brought back in unfortunately

He's also managed to improve the game of those around him. Higdon has been much better since Ojamaa came into the team.

I picked the right day to get Ojamaa & the number 24 on the back of my home shirt

Depending on the result of todays game we could feasibly go 12 points ahead of Hearts, making it a tall order for them to catch us in 3rd. Everyone got their vouchers exchanged for this one then, aye?

Possibly. It depends on what offers we get I guess, and also if the player in question wants to move. Randolph has hinted that if it was just a case of making more money he could have stayed in England as a number two, but he enjoys playing, and perhaps more importantly, he seems to be happy at our club. Murphy is another matter altogether. The one disappointing aspect (if it's true) is that the club may be willing to let him go for a relatively small fee.

Nice one. Always a good read

Aye, I noticed that. Any word on who it is?

I'm looking forward to this game more than I have any other since the cup final. A win here will really cement us in third place.

There's a chance I may have a spare brief for the East stand if anyone here wants it? Waiting on a reply from a mate, but failing that it'll be going spare. If anyone's interested, fire me a PM and we can sort something out.
