just back in. superb. our first come from behind win since the 25th of october 2008! great performances from everyone. as others have said forbes was a new man, by far his best performance in a well shirt. hateley had his best game in a long time as well, he was holding things together at the end. it was great to see how much it meant at the end of the game, theres not many things better in football than a hardy band of away fans and players celebrating a victory over their old judas manager on a freezing cold tuesday night in february. for all the mumping and moaning on here we have a good set of players with a superb attitude. we wanted it more than aberdeen tonight and you could see it right through the team. i really hope there will be a few people feeling like diddies in a couple of months as a strong end to the season is well within our reach. there's been a lot of shite posted recently about mccall, jeffers and even some thinking craigan's injury was a good thing. the team have done us proud in europe and the league cup and we're doing well in the league and the scottish. it's time for some support.

went for hateley. if we see that desire every week we'll have a player on our hands.

mcghee 21 wins in 44 games = 47.7% brown 21 in 43 games = 48.8 if you add in the defeat to hearts at tynecastle when brown was on the touchline then it's exactly the same. brown had an easier schedule though. mcghee had 9 games against the old firm, brown had 6. mcghee had 10 games against edinburgh clubs while brown had 5. brown played 3 games against part timers in breidalbiek and brechin while the worst team mcghee faced were raith rovers. mcghee's record in the first season is clearly better imo.

who picked him? it seems fairly obvious and the reason he got it is because he's enthusiastic and willing to work with the resources we have (which is the same reason gannon and brown got it). is he the man for the job? we need to give him a chance to bring in players in the summer, then a judgement can be made. as for the squad, we've extremely thin just now but in a way we've been victims of our own success. clubs down south can triple the wages of guys like o'brien, hughes, coke, reynolds and it's very difficult for us to replace with the same quality. succesive managers have chosen to bring in loan signings rather than invest the money we do have in permament players, this is going to come to a head in the summer when it's likely that the only outfield players older than 22 at the club will be craggs, lasley and hammell. this summer is huge for us. the financial results come out next week. we'll have a better idea where we stand then.

i think we'll see a performance tomorrow. if nothing else you know that las and jenno will be up for it and hopefully most of the rest of them will feel they have a point or two to prove. there's too much fuss being made about the result on saturday. if rangers had took their foot off the gas in the final half hour no one would have mentioned anything, instead you had jelavic desperate for a hat trick and healy gagging for a goal.

in what way are the club ripping the piss out of you.

i've seen us lose by six plenty of times. i've seen us score six as well, it happens. i couldn't fault anyone for effort yesterday we struggled because of a lack of organisation, experience and quality.

who in particular do you think let us down yesterday?

what a daft thread title.

class!

i don't understand this at all. 1. "in dundee" an unavoidable drawback of drawing dundee united away. it's slightly over an hours drive, plenty people do a longer commute every day. 2. 1.15. the dundee game was at the same time and there was no problem. if you want to get pished you'll be pished, if you want a pint you can get a pint. what's the difference between 1.15 and 3 on a sunday? 3. sunday, most leagues in europe split their fixtures over two days. we might lose some people who have to do other things but we'll probably pick up as many if not more people who are busy on a saturday.

there's no way craigan would bail out on his country when he had had the armband and no way mccall would tell him to. they're not brown and lennon. team for saturday if craggs, lasley, hammell and saunders are all out randy hateley hutchy page gunner humphrey jenno meechan jones murphy sutton average age 23!

hopefully not. saunders and hammell are out for saturday already.

soccerbase are dodgy with the euro games. they've only got him down for 4 when he's played 14.

he's played 108 games.

chrissy p looked a cert for it at xmas 07 but post phil the games were a bit more of a grind. porter's record of 27 in 67 games is still very impressive though. right now sutton's record is very similar to foran who had 35 goals in 104 games. if sutty had the stones to take (and score pens) he could have another dozen or so to his name.

up the other end from gilmour though

only if there's somewhere to land the team lear jet.

mon the fox in the box! would the people who are greeting prefered we signed no one?

not having a go at you, i just think we've been dropping points by small margins for a while and it has to be taken into consideration. accies - missed a pen and should have had another one hibs - saunders equalises with a good goal offside st mirren - jennings and gow missed sitters, higdon should have been off hearts - murphy misses a header from 6 yards with five mins to go rangers - pumped celtic - they score with a huge deflection. hateley shites out a good chance at the end accies - murphy hits bar dundee united - humphrey hits a header straight at the goalie at 1-1 with five minutes to go ict - both sides were unlucky st j - murphy shot hits sutton on the line, they get a dodgy pen rangers - haddy edu fires in a 30 yarder. alexander flukes save at end tonight - nae luck at all it just seem that nothing is going for us at all this season. going right back to the hibs game at the start of the season with missed chances and shite refereeing. we missed loads of chances and had a couple of stonewall pens denied against odense. the maloney dive against celtic. jenno missing the header against aberdeen. last season everything went for us, this season it's not happening.

give him a break. anyone with a clue can get away without punaction on here. on saturday i'd leave esteban in up top with sutty and jones left, murphy right. humphrey needs some time out.

if jenno nets his chance, murphy's made a goal. we were extremeley unlucky tonight. jenno misses a one on one. jenno stupidly gives away a free kick. the ref/linesman makes them retake a free kick for no apparent reason. hammell gets injured. it starts pishing down. randolph misses a cross and they score. no one let us down tonight. we've lost 3 midweek games in a row by very, very small margins. i'm going down to stranraer on saturday to get behind mccall and team and hopefully we'll have a scottish quarter to look forward to. in the league we've got a hard game at ibrox coming up after that there are points to take. aberdeen (a), accies (h), st mirren (h), celtic (h), ict (a) killie (a), aberdeen (h).

you're wrong on two counts 1. wellfan1984 clearly has major contacts inside fir park 2. nae chance grimmy would give him the time of day.

casagolda put in a decent shift tonight. he worked hard and played a few decent balls. if he wasn't that involved it's because the other players weren't looking for him.

casagolda hasn't looked out of place whenever he has come on. he had a few decent touches at mcdiarmid and tannadice, he also looked not bad when he came on against st johnstone when we were 3 up. he's obviously a guy you'd rather not need to use but he's not some sort of steve mcdonald/andy smith/keegan complete imposter of a player.
