Me too. The costs don't change because an extra 1000 people turn up so it would be daft to it any other way.

How can it be £25k to stage a a game? Maybe it works out that way if you split the costs of certain things over the season between the total games but to add a fixture can't be that much surely.

Hopefully we avoid Falkirk so there's no mass discussion of Bob McHugh and whether ex players actually score more frequently against us. Ideally East Kilbride away if they beat Stenny in their replay.

The difference having a full back who can play the ball out of defence was huge.

Johnson. Great goal and all our threat came through him first half.

Blaming Ripley for the first is harsh after seeing it on TV. The second might have been the wind, need to see it again but he is slow off his line. Good performance, good game. It looks like McGhee's coaching is paying off with our forward play we just need to tighten up at the back. It's going to be a tense season with a lot of teams trying to avoid the bottom two spots. If we can show a bit of character at a ground we've had a hard time at it'll be a good sign.

Why would a businessman be interested in devoting a lot of their time to an enterprise that they will never make any money from? Look at the ownership of other Scottish clubs and the lack of interest in taking over any of them.

Hearts should bring a decent support through on Saturday. If we play a similar team to the one on Saturday we'll get hammered.

Sounds like we could be on for a doing.

If they manage to gain control of the club without giving away all the money they will have been proven correct. Given that this is dependent on the club repaying a large sum of money at a time when we are performing poorly on the park and have no one to sell I'm not optimistic.

We won't be getting rid of anyone for a while. Chalmers looks out his depth. The fact that both our full backs are very limited makes it's difficult to get the wingers in the game and to play much football in general.

The players aren't good enough. That's about all there is to it.

Professional Rugby in Glasgow averages about 7000. Professional Football 70,000-80,000.

They got round that by selling shares to the society at a ridiculous price.

The members need the details of the agreement with Hutchinson and the current financial situation of the society. Signing away all the money raised is sickening. It's surely possible that McCaffertty being Club chairman and Society chairman creates a conflict of interest that invalidates the agreement?

Because we have had two clowns managing us who were unable win cup games. Btw I don't think they changed the constitution just the stated aims which were agreed upon at one of the first meetings.

So that's about £350,000 spent then?

My guess is that's it something to keep him busy and away from the in laws businesses.

It makes sense to go with the two strikers who have the pedigree and experience. Hopefully Robinson will make an impression. A lot of people seemed to write him off despite not playing much and the Barraclough situation.

Speirs seems to have forgotten that the nonsense he spouted to the justice committee at the parliament was one of the reasons the Bill was enacted.

The next two games are massive for us. Playing the two teams directly above us who we actually have a decent record against in 2015 and with a lot of other mid table clashes two wins would put us right in the top six battle. We need at least one win or we'll be going into the break on a downer with County away then Hearts at home and under serious pressure.

Is it fair to compare guys born in the late 90s and early 80s in terms of mindset. It's a different generation and a different mindset and i'd say it's say it's down to the coaches to adapt and get the best out the players, you can't expect them to be something they're not. There's no way Alex Ferguson treated the likes of Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand the same way as Bryan Robson or Willie Miller.

The football under Butcher was miles better than anything we've seen at Fir Park over the last two years. We were a good team the two seasons we finished top six with a a great core, Corrigan, Hammell, Craigan, O'Donnell, Leitch, Foran, McBride (before he got injured), McDonald, Clarkson. We underperformed the next season but still score a lot of goals and think about the 4-4 game with Celtic compared to the torture we endured last Saturday.

Nick Blackman's goal last night was an absolue belter. If he keeps scoring at this rate he'll be playing in the EPL next season.

There are a lot of things wrong with our current political system. The Football Bill comes from the same kind of prejudice that allows Police Scotland to illegally stop and search children, be ordered to stop doing it by parliament then continue to illegally do it anyway. There is a lack of accountability in Scotland that lets a conservative minded minority dictate to the majority.
