I thought ODonnell did well again but Just was exceptional, ran out of steam in ET but I thought he was brilliant today.

We can pick holes in this performance but at the end of the day we were playing the best team in the championship at home and we won. Give me this as oppose to our last game in the cup up there all day long. bring on the quarters

Get in Faddy!!!! He’s been quieter today but a great finish

Just should have done better there, Odonnell did well getting up there but if you watch AP he didn’t even give him an option for a cut back, standing static behind the defender. the longer this goes on the more likely we are to lose a goal

The Players look knackered

To be fair they do agree with me that Just has been the best player in the park

Osong, shown enough in 2 mins to look like he’ll be useful

He’s just did that again, another half chance and a terrible touch. he’s been rotten today. He’s not a player I dislike either but he’s been well off it today.

Great play from Just, nice dunk through to AP who once again has a bad touch

There’s actually decent balls at times whipped in, there was one 2 mins ago where AP should have been in there in front of the defender. We had a few in the first half. We need a striker as I don’t think AP is the guy we need. His movement is always away from the goal.

AP’s really slow, I just don’t think he suits the way we play. We need him mobile and making space for himself. Too often he’s standing static next to a defender

How the fk did he clear that off the line? That was lucky

Wee Just is working his ar5e off in there, he’s doing well.

Minutes applause for sammy Johnson before the game. I hadn’t realised he was max johnsons uncle

My main gripe is that the central midfield is so important in this new set up and he’s going to miss games, it’s disruptive. And has he really been good when he’s played for Rangers? The support I know havnt been that impressed? He did quite well in a European game and he started a cup game against a lower league side and he was hooked at half time? i’m not convinced with youngsters from rangers anyway, I think they are cursed with a “I’ve made it already” attitude. Lowry went out on loan and was rotten, the boy Devine wasn’t great. I just don’t think they get good habits at rangers. Similar to youngsters at Celtic. Maybe that’s why they have such an appalling record at bringing in youths Anyway, I doubt it’ll happen!!

Turnbull is a definite no go, I think he’ll be at Cardiff for another 2 years and see out his contract. Crazy money involved down there. as for Rice, even if he does come and does well, he’d need removed any time we played Rangers, I just think it screws up team dynamics when we get a loanee from SPFL teams. Not just for those weeks he’s not allowed to play but a week or so after it when he gets back in the team. If we could sign him permanently great, I’d take him then but is he the type to take a drop in pay To kick start his career? I’m not so sure.

Vietnam flashbacks!!!!!! Gardiner v Hearts 😢 ……. And Stevie Woods was a terrible keeper, only goalie I ever saw who made the goals look bigger for a striker…. but apparently a good coach and a decent guy.

Good to see our forward options increasing

You know I checked after I typed this and saw it was Howie, I forgot all about him. He was another bad McLeish buy.

Jeez, I was at that game. I’m pretty sure we scored first that day? F@@ing freezing cold and a horrific game. I’m sure Stevie woods chucked in a few that day too.

Paul Kinnaird was an absolute loonball 🤣 I think he was drummed out of fir park as he owed everyone money due to gambling debts. Peem weir is Jim Weir (not the Accies guy) Tommy signed him from a German 3rd division team and then fired him straight into a game v rangers and he was horrific. I’m sure he now drives taxis in lesmahagow? I may be wrong with that tho?

Wee Tommy’s teams up until Bobby Russell arrived was utter torture to watch, he’d never have survived any more than a season these days. He bought some utter dross as well mostly cast offs from his brother lol Gardiner, Murray, John Reilly…Peem Weir… I could list about 20 to be fair. There were some right hummers.

I always felt McLeish was a lucky manager. He took on an excellent side from McLean and made them better for one season. I think the players did better in this season as they were a bit more relaxed as wee Tommy was a tyrant. He then made a few duff signings and seemed to lose any respect he had from the players in the first season. He was such a media darling tho and got away with murder.

County’s club record transfer is £500k for Boyce. They’ll not get any more than that for him.

I liked wee McCall as well, a really decent guy and a good manager for us but I have no doubt he’d have got us relegated if he was in charge of us in the play off games. He had a real fear of playing Rangers, the way he put out his sides against them was a disgrace actually. Not that I am saying he was Rangers minded when he was our manager but he did have a real fear factor about them. Baraclough for all his faults went into those games really attack minded and went for them. I’ll always think favourably about him.
