Under Robinson, aye, we were. At times under Alexander, yeah. But I don't agree we're streets behind many teams, and with a bit of improvement we can get much closer. Hands up who thinks Aberdeen are gonnae improve under Glass or Hearts won't buy another load of expensive rubbish? If Alexander's up to the job, we don't need 10 new starters.

He's highly thought of. The windae cleaner thinks he's shite.

If anyone wants to see something truly terrifying, take a look at Stephen Glass' managerial record, such as it is. If we'd appointed him, I'd be raging.

One or two decent players make the difference in most SPL sides. Our terrifyingly bad guys are, in most cases, no worse than you'll find at Aberdeen or Hibs. We need a few new faces in the right positions, not another bus load who will inevitably be of lower quality and take half the season to gel. Not easy to find the right faces, but if Alexander can, there's no reason why we can't be top 6 and better.

If Cornelius can't get a couple of games at this point, he never will.

As with Lawless, Magloire didn't wander onto that park uninvited. I'm not laying it all at Alexander's door, but he had alternatives to both players, so if anyone thinks they're to blame, some of that has to fall on the manager too.

Makes you wonder who decided to put him on.

Given the state we were in, I hoped he'd bring something. He's a trier, but looks like that's it. Never seen anyone with such a low centre of gravity fall on their arse so often.

That turned out to be worth watching. Well done most of the players for keeping going, can't complain about the effort. Tony Watt proves even one really good player can make a huge difference. Lawless shows you what happens when you sign duds.

Awful penalty from O'Hara. But Lawless just keeps on providing hee haw.

Yes. He feckin is.

Samson showing the keeper his porn videos.

Even if they're thinking it was onside, they have to mention the possibility. Maybe they don't know the rules.

What is there not to love about Tony Watt?

Yes!!!!!

They get an offside goal, we score a legitimate goal. Commentators say one cancels out the other. Explain that again....

Messi!

Hibs are amazing. Only St Mirren can stop them now.

Earth calling Alexander.

Dozy bastard.

I think the only way the Old Firm could do this is lock, stock and barrel. Join the English league system. End of. Forming a British League: Which Association controls that? Form a new one? Can you still have seperate Scottish and English professional leagues running if it happens? What happens to the respective international sides if Britain is accepted as a distinct football entity? Take the big team to England and leave a wee team here: Even if that's possible, what happens if both sides qualify for the same European competition? Rangers v Rangers? Could players under contract to one club move between 2 teams in different leagues? We're all used to that pair ruling the roost up here, but the reality is, historically and currently, UEFA don't give a shit about the Old Firm. Our lot might bend over for them on a regular basis, but why would those who really make the rules smash them to pieces for the sake of 2 nobodies?

Sorry, I meant leagues, specifically. The Welsh clubs who play in the English leagues are invited to play in the Welsh Cup. Some do, some don't. But if they win, UEFA does not allow them to qualify for Europe as a result. They have to do that through English competitions. I know there are quite a few teams who don't play in their own country's league, but has any club ever fielded sides in leagues of more than one country simultaneously?

Are there any clubs who have teams playing in more than one country?

The logistics of teams from one country playing in another could no doubt be worked out, if there's big enough money to be had. But I don't know how those clubs could then have colts sides competing in a different league. If they want to - and can - piss off, fine by me. They've made sure no one else in Scotland can possibly compete with them anyway.

Surprised we didn't pay an inflated transfer fee.
