This - but the wins need to start arriving soon unless we want to take our chances in a play-off. Which in my opinion would not be a good idea.

Read my post again - it says ON RECENT FORM. Now go check the recent form of both sides, both home and away.

Right to be concerned?

So what? There is no reason to believe that we can beat them this week based on the recent form of the two sides. Blind optimism does not guarantee a win. The Cup is right in post 13 above - we are in deep deep deep juju here. The plain fact is we have two wins in the league since September, one against Fake Thistle where we got lucky with a refereeing decision and their keeper kindly giving us an early Christmas present, and a semi-okay win against a Hearts under-18 squad plus three. While our performances may have been pleasing on the eye for the most part, it's a fact that we are 11th in this league and have lost the habit of winning a game of football since last Easter. Lose on Saturday and we no longer have feet left in which to shoot ourselves.

That's not the problem though, is it?

What makes you think that carrying on the way we are going will have us win more points? This time last year we were worried about where the next away win was coming from. 365 days on we are worried about whether we will see a home win this season. And do not interpret that as an indication that Archie must go. However let's face facts - there is a problem!!!

Dunno what you are implying by 'act now', however it is clear that just hoping it will come right is a road to the first division. We've not been good enough to win for most of the season. Let's face facts, our last two wins have been against Hearts (not a surprise) and Fake Thistle, where we got two of the biggest dollops of luck any team has had this season in the same game. We've thrown away six points this season in the last three minutes (Hearts, Hibs and Killie) and failed to win games we should have buried v Hibs, Fake Thistle and Dross County. We are pleasant on the eye, but at the business end of the day, we are well short.

Dross. Sorry folks, but Archie has to start doing a few sessions with the psychologist himself. No home league win since Morton on 10th April is a problem, and there is no escaping from it. Not at all calling for his head, but it's the same old blues week in, week out.

I've been hearing those same voices all season. They promise much and never deliver, though.

Can I have a pint of whatever you are drinking, please?

Right on the money once again Paolo.

If I remember correctly, Chic wasn't booked that day for a celebration. Wasn't it for a gesture to the crowd, not related to either goal (Iain Nicolson and Calum Milne scored)?

Really sad to hear about this. Ian became an agent after he finished playing and was regularly seen in the Jackie Husband stand in the early noughties. RIP Ian Redford, hope you are at peace now.

Was at the Fake Thistle game on Boxing day, and thought that KH's miss was unlucky, due to the presence of the goalkeeper, rather than a bad miss. Never saw the highlights afterwards, so maybe others have a more considered view.

Doolan v Hibs and Lawless v Fake Thistle are the obvious ones that springs to my mind, however it's quite possible I have missed other glaring misses through them not being televised in my part of the world.

No damage done!! Cheers and Up The Jags!!

It's not a lie. It's my opinion. It's your right to disagree with it, but it does not make it a lie. It was a horrible miss for any striker to make - is that more accurate in your view?

He has not scored for Thistle (despite having the best chance of any Jags player this season handed to him on a silver salver at New Love Street). And that's what counts.

The club made the same gaff with the infamous Aberdeeen abandonment of 92-93, when the game was stopped after 54 minutes due to snow. In its infinite wisdom it chose to charge full price for the rearranged fixture, which many, including myself, boycotted as a consequence. (Those of us who stayed away got the better deal as we were duly sheep-shagged 0-7.)

Great!! Now let's take that winning feeling into the rest of the month!!

Yeah, but Boyd 90 + 117 will be along soon.

Justified or what???

Crap. We need to stop talking it.................

Do not care who wears the armband so long as the points are delivered.

This, It's our own fault we are in this position. It's our own responsibility to get us out of this position.
