SFA pressure due to coin throwing at the Celtic game? Whilst we get pelted with coins at Hampden and the club say nothing.....

I don't think cross border loans can be cancelled early unless both clubs agree.

Scottish Premiership Game 18: Kilmarnock (A) 16/12/17 15:00

We are undeniably in relegation form. The next two home games are massive. -
Scottish Premiership Game 18: Kilmarnock (A) 16/12/17 15:00

That's the third game in a row where our starting tactics were to set up for a nil-nil and hope for the best. On a day when we should have been looking to change our style and build on the decent stuff we played second half at Firhill we packed the centre of the pitch and kicked high balls to strikers who aren't cut out for this level. Our attacking play is awful and we are unable to play the ball out of defence so we are forever battling for second balls and players either have no passing options or they are trying to pass a bouncing ball under pressure. Bringing in Grimshaw and the LB who have both contributed nothing rather than an actual left back is terrible management. Plus points today are Newell looked sharp and has to be ahead of Fisher now and Tanner was good again. It's unbelievable that Tanner didn't start the previous two games and you get the impression that Robinson is playing favourites with comments after Tynecastle and Firhill having a go at players then blanking Fisher when he went off today. Managers usually start that shite when they are trying to deflect from their own failing and Robinson's continually shocking starting line ups and the fact that the only tactic he is willing to stick to is boot it up the park don't bode well for us going forward. -

We dont have anyone on the left. Hammell is playing tucked in and we've no left mid. -

Robinson packed the middle of the park. Zero width and no creativity. Playing these planks of wood up front together is daft. Griffiths fucked up at the goal but apart from that we've been comfortable. Pressure is on Robinson to change it again. -

I was just the other day saying Gennadios Xenodochov could do a job for us. -
Any player that is worth paying a six figure transfer fee for won't come here.

Start with the team that finished at Thistle. If Frear isn't fit play MacLean on the left and Grimshaw on the right. It's Robinson though so we could see Fisher on the wing again and Andy Rose channelling Messi behind the striker. -

Bigi's been on when we have played most of our decent passing football this season. At home to Ross County in the second half, the comeback at Easter Road, the good spells we had at either end of the Dundee game and last night in the second half. He looked comfortable on the plastic at Accies when he came on so hopefully he performs if he gets a start here. -
We need two strikers as we can't rely on either Fisher or Bowman.

I thought at the time he put it in. I wasn't sure if he was offside. -

Dunne was offside for that decision. The second showed up Campbell's lack of pace. Frear should have buried his header. -
Tanner. He looked like he was desperate to prove a point. So much better than the majority of the dross on show it was almost funny he was a sub.

At one point the ref stopped the game to talk to our kit man. Never seen that before. -

Is he blaming the keeper? He needs to look closer to home. -

Great effort second half. That team can't have been picked on footballing ability. Tanner and Bigi are miles better than Rose, Grimmy and the LB. There must be personal stuff involved. Rose playing in a advanced midfield role two games in a row is horrendous. He's sn albino Marc Fitzpatrick. -

Three Football Clubs 'shamed' For Underpaying Staff
steelboy replied to Toxteth O'Grady's topic in Club Chat
It's one thing saying you pay all your employees a certain wage but if you are outsourcing jobs to contractors who don't it means very little. Anyone who heard Dempster making the case for the 14 league team with the crazy three way split will know to take what she says with a pinch of salt. -

I watched Rose on Saturday. During the first half he made three passes. Two five yards back and one ten yards sideways. All in our half. He didn't win the ball once. Didn't get close to tackling a Hearts player until the 40th minute. Headed it once in the entire half. Didn't show for the ball to feet (just tried his usual run in the corner party piece). It was a complete horror show and completely hung Campbell out to dry. Frear is too passive. He hides out on the wing and when he gets the ball he is hesitant. I was obviously wrong about Blyth. I forgot he started the Accies game and came on as a sub at Firhill. It still raises the question of what Robinson was thinking. -

Aye Wee Dan was worse. Woods could at least touch the bar and kick the ball over the halfway line. -

The last time we played at Firhill Robinson started Jules and Blyth which raised questions about whether he had any ability to judge players. We had some dreadful performances on Saturday and while Bowman will have to play Petravicius, Frear and Rose should be getting a night off. There have been quite a few players riding on the effort of others this season and getting a pass while putting in Craig Clay level performances. Without Moult we need a serious rethink about tactics as launching long balls and playing the percentages isn't going to work without him. -
We'd be as well sticking coupons on to raise money as relying on a sell on fee. The proportion of players who move for a fee is tiny. Better players than Moult move on frees.

There was more contact on Salah before his goal. The Everton boy dived.
