  1. That makes more sense. Didn't think he would be playing for free.
  2. I'll be surprised if Lionel doesn't start. He seems to have accepted the role McGhee has given him and knuckled down so it would be a bit of a slap in the face if Cadden or Reid got the nod in front of him.
  3. McCall grassed on him for not actually being 6 ft 1. Wee Dan must have told him to lie about his height.
  4. Preston's a good opportunity for Grimshaw to put himself in the shop window for English clubs and if he doesn't impress he can always come back here next season. He improved during his time here but I don't think he's cut out for the championship yet.
  5. Celtic was obviously the nightmare draw but after that Hearts and ICT were the next toughest draws. They are on a similar unbeaten run to us (ie not pish) and will be confident being holders and having won here recently. There's also the fact that the two times we have played them in the Scottish Cup have been miserable affairs which is irrelevant to this game but i'd still rather have drawn almost anyone else.
  6. There's not exactly a shortage of spare seats in any of the stands.
  7. It's hard to judge anyone who comes off the bench for us recently as we're always so much more disorganised after we make changes.
  8. Surely the bigger issue is Cove getting down tomorrow? The park should be fine. 4 degrees in real money apparently.
  9. It was a fiver for adults and a quid for kids. The South Stand was open for home fans.
  10. I'd say that our crowd figures in the 90s got a boost from the cup win, the mid 90s team and Celtic being shite meaning we picked up some extra bodies.
  11. The only thing that improves the match day experience is a bigger crowd.
  12. I'll be disapointed if we sign Scobbie. We'd be as well just playing Craig Reid at left back if need be.
  13. If he does come it will surely be on the basis that it's a deal to the end of the season and we pay part his wages and Rangers cover the rest (he maybe even gives up a bit to put himself in the shop window). That's what they tried to do with Shiels last January without any takers.
  14. It's a big day out for them and they're paying half the costs so we might as well let them sit in the South.
  15. McGhee punched the greatest manager in British football history. I Doubt he's worried about Lionel sticking one on Steve Robinson.
  16. What's your estimate of the odds for 500 tickets?
  17. I originally suspected Dom Thomas cause he's got a cheeky wee face. However Frazzle is acting awfy guilty so i'm considering a conspiracy from your mob. Going forward i'm willing to go out on the park at half time and keep it honest.
  18. I think Mitch and Fraz are on the take from the PA man.
  19. I'm fairly certain that if there are ( alow estimate) 500 tickets the odds of drawing two consecutive numbers is 500-2. To then hit a number within 5 either side of that is 498-10. It's roughly a 12000-1 shot. Considering that there's been less than 5000 games at Fir Park it was a very unusual draw.
  20. Robinson for Moult is up for debate, if Moult's been ill fair enough. Taking off Marvin for Cadden in 87 was just to get Marvin a cheer and Cadden an appearance. Made us less likely to win the game.
  21. Midweek we had a controversial off pitch draw, today we had an incredibly unlikely run of numbers. It's impossible to figure out the actual odds unless you know how many tickets are in it but pulling two consecutive numbers then a number within 5 either side of them is a massively unlikely event. It's possible it's a fluke but it's far more likely it's fixed, the question is who? Burrows? Dom Thomas? The Announcer (who may or may not post on here and somehow knew the same person didn't win all three)? The Well Society? We need an independent adjudicator for the Cove game.
  22. I'm obviously not the biggest happy clapper out there but i think the positives outweigh the two points we dropped today. Scored three good goals without playing well, the three we lost were jammy, everyone was up for it and it was the best atmosphere all season. Being critical taking Marvin off with 3 minutes plus injury time left when he was our best player by a mile made no sense. McGhee fucked that and cost us two points but we can win at Tynecastle and any other fixture now. Accies should be happy to make the playoff. They're murder, they'll lose three goals every week, they go mad if cause score against us but not one of them walks 40 yards to see if their team mate who is getting stretchered off is ok. Ideally Falkirk pump them.
  23. McManus has been more solid than he's ever been for us since Kennedy got binned. Whatever is going on it's worked out well.
  24. There's no chance 2 out of every 3 seats on the highlights are full and that's before you consider that the top tier is shut. Old Firm fans were using FoIs to get the real attendances for each other a while back. Their December and January attendances in 2013 averaged were about 25,000.
