Ian17 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 We always park at Geddes House, Quarrywood Court, Livingston Village, EH54 6GU, take Junction 3A on the M8 and follow signs for Livingston Village, 5-10 minute walk to the stadium, and easy access back to the M8 especially after the game with little traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only so long that this can be classed as bad luck alone. You're not one for giving the benefit of the doubt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave a good example of Wilkinson and another who I forget; both of these injuries were in the last 60 seconds of training and when they did their analysis, they reduced the times of the training sessions and altered them in terms of intensity and other activities to try and reduce the risk. Slattery's injury was just a complete freak occurrence; his stud got caught and it twisted his leg the wrong way and "twang" he's done for 9 months. Is it astro they train on at dalziel park?

We have to do it by ourselves starting with a convincing win tomorrow evening. Absolutely and in all honesty if we can’t beat Livingston then we deserve to be in the playoffs. We all know we will get nothing at Ibrox on Saturday and we’ll do well to get a draw at home to Aberdeen in the next fixture so tonight is vital that we take all three points. Sadly I’ve got no faith in us whatsoever to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A casual assumption was made by a fan, which was unlikely to be based on objective fact or specialist knowledge of our injury mitigation methods, and I jokingly described it as being an admirably optimistic assumption. Nothing more. Jesus, Stephen Fry is on the forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both; split between Dalziel Park and Ravenscraig, I believe (and based on training videos the club release). The club has taken on management and investment in two of the pitches at Dalziel Park and this has improved the surfaces there greatly (confirmed by Kettlewell at the AGM as well as with feedback from the players), I assume in an effort to provide better grass based training as well as to prevent injuries due to the parks there cutting up.

Just wondering if that could be a factor with injuries, if theyre training on astro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I park in the car park immediately west of the M&S in the shopping centre. It's a 10-minute walk north, crossing Almondvale Boulevard, passing through the Xcite Leisure Centre car park, then crossing the wee footbridge over the water to the stadium's southwest corner.

Yeah, there's no denying it, 5 wins at this stage is very poor, even if we're far from alone in struggling to pick up 3 points this season. Measuring from the St Mirren game was logical when we were on that long winless run, but it doesn't make much sense to use it as a starting point now.

I'm looking across the whole season now, given the winless run was halted. Therefore, it's worth noting that with 11 games remaining, we'd need to win 7 to equal our lowest games won tally (12) from the previous 5 seasons. Furthermore, and less depressing, our current tally of 11 draws is the most we've achieved in each of the past 10+ seasons, which is helping us in terms of our current league position. However, the current stats are still poor in terms of victories, but I hope we can turn it around starting tonight, and that is why I think tonight is massive in terms of setting the tone for the months ahead.

grizzlyg Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Hopefully we can do the business tonight as the amount of negativity at times really can get you down. The stats not great but one thing SK has is a team fighting for him and battling for each other. Yep doesn't guarantee you points but it's definitely a plus sign.

Aye, we need to keep turning the screw on those around us any chance we get. A win puts us 13 points ahead of Livi and if we get it, you'd struggle to see how they could pull that back at this stage, so that would be one concern dealt with.
