I'd like to think that McDonald is professional enough to continue to give his all and see out his contract. The alternative of a disgruntled player working his ticket is a waste of a salary and bad for everyone concerned. It is a balancing act and there is a fine line between being easy deal with and being a soft touch.

Great three points. Got to somehow keep it going though. Our next four games are against teams above us in the league so won't be easy. Three or four points from those would probably be acceptable before a run of games where, hopefully, we can pick up more points.

Would the Skippy move involve a fee? He has been very good for us and, in a perfect world, if he wants to go, he deserves to be allowed to leave if he wants to return home. Having said that, he is a vital part of our team and not easy to replace at this juncture. His staying could very well be the difference between us remaining in the division and going down. He will be away in the summer. Hopefully that will be enough for him.

They are definitely beatable. Hopefully the manager has been taken off suicide watch and can send out a team with the necessary ambition to do the job.

While a draw at home in a game against a rival from "our part of the league" is not great, it really is too early to see it as points dropped or thrown away. All very tight between sixth and twelfth so another point to our total is not a disaster. We kept a clean sheet and created enough chances. Onwards and upwards (hopefully).

We need to get decent money for our best players, so that rules out them. To be honest, if he keeps developing, Cadden could do a lot better than a move to the h**s.

Very disappointed by the result, which has to be a good thing. We should never be happy with a loss, especially at home. This takes nothing away from a spirited performance, it just grates to score three against them and walk away with nothing. Plenty of positives to build on though but we are at the stage where this has to be backed up in the next two or three matches. Do that and we will pick up points and move towards safety, which has to be our priority this season. Really hope that, going forward, the likes of McHugh and a returning Pearson, can make a difference.

I generally think that anything around fifty percent success rate with new signings is pretty good for a manager. The problem now is the transfer window as, in the past, a player who was not cutting the mustard could be quickly and quietly moved on whereas now they have to wait it out and then have only limited time to get sorted in a period of frenetic activity when loads of guys are looking for new clubs and contracts. Just another change to the transfer/contract situation that doesn't really seem to work in favour of a club our size.

A shit draw, but what the hell, let's give it our best shot. That is the beauty of the cup, after all?

Hoping for a win, but would accept a point right now. Also agree with those who suggest the same line up as last weekend. They deserve another crack after a good performance and great result.

Sounded shite on Mixlr. Early in the season but things cannot continue like this if we want to stay up. Feel sorry for the youngsters as a struggling team is a difficult place to start making your way in the professional game.

Good to see the two youngsters continuing to get a run. We could really do with the three points so hopeful that we can carry the day with a two nil victory.

Never happy with a defeat, but we have had worse weekends when we have had an away trip to Parkhead. Good to see that a good few youngsters made the squad and the manager thought that a few were worthy of actually getting a bit of valuable game time.

Can see nothing but a bit of a hiding from this fixture. If we keep it tight and play well, the best we can hope for is say a two nil defeat. If we give it a bit of a go, we mY lose four two. I say give it a lash, you never know.

As soon as it wa mentioned that we would go second if we won, I knew we were in for a hiding. Been Hereford and this always seems to be he way it goes. McGhee needs to stop mucking around with clever tactics and find the best and simplist formation that works for our limited squad. That probably means four four two and it requires a change in goal.

Maybe I am clutching at straw, but following the game online, we seemed to be well in it until the second goal. Was never sure about Samson but thought he deserved a chance. As such, he has had it so time to give someone else a go. His inability to hold on to the ball is his most glaring fault but the lack of confidence he generally inspires is doing nothing for us.

Thanks for the information. As I recall, the DVD I had, which I inherited from my late father, had goal highlights from the previous rounds and the full game but I may be wrong. It has been a few years since I watched it.

Looking for a bit of info/ advice. I had a DVD of the 1991 cup final which featured the full match as well as limited highlights from the previous rounds. Unfortunately this has gone missing in my move from Scotland to NZ and I am looking for a replacement. I see that a new DVD , "The Class of '91", is available and I would be quite happy to buy this, but it is not clear whether or not this includes the full game as well as the various extras. If someone who owns this version, or who is in the know as to what it contains, could let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance.

Our current under 20s side seem to be decent to watch. I genuinely enjoy their efforts on Youtube more than the first team. They play some really nice stuff and look dangerous when they break at pace. Of course, they are not the finished article and the errors that they make must be infuriating but if they keep on improving then hopefully a good few of them will get the chance to make the step up.

Free tickets completely piss off the people who still have to pay. They also cut your income as some of those getting in for nothing would have paid to get in.so, to begin with, you have reduced your revenue and annoyed your core support. This might be a worthwhile hit if there was evidence that, in the long run, these sort of giveaways resulted in an increased core support, but we have tried free tickets before and it has had no real long term benefit.

Boyd sounds like a bit of a twat. Still, for every Boyd there is an O'Donnell. Remember the good guys and forget the idiots.

Dykstra, McCrae, Randolph and Rennie were my favourites over the years, with honourable mentions to Ruddy, Maxwell, Sproat and Walker as being decent keepers. I always felt a little sorry for Rennie because of the number of times managers would bring in new keepers at the start of a season only to find out that they were shite and give the jersey back to big Stuart. I believe the thinking was that they wanted a full time goalie and Rennie was only part time. Hunter and Latchford were two who were brought in to replace Rennie, but I am pretty sure there were others.

Hard to argue with results. Higgy was awesome for us.

I will certainly not be heartbroken if and when Johnson moves on. He is decent on his day but we will survive without him. However, what sticks in the throat is the sheer bs coming from his agent. It is certainly not his place to be telling our club what the state of the market is. When you see the price that players go for in England, it is entirely reasonable to assume that similar players going from Scotland to England should go for a similar amount.

Agreed. We should know our place and gratefully take what we are given.
