Wow - having seen some of the other candidates - that's a hell of a charge to live up to!

Why did you steal Mr McCoist's teamsheet for next Saturday?

I used to reserve a tiny bit of 'hope they do well, it's good for Scottish Football' for all our teams in Europe - even the ugly sisters (although that was difficult). Not now, not ever again for either of them two. For one thing, Sellick only had 4 players qualified to play for Scotland (as opposed to Scots) in their whole 18 man squad, and one of them has chosen not to bother playing for the national side any more. So - I don't see how the failure of a mostly Irish owned team, overwhelmingly staffed by overseas players, could be bad for Scottish football.

lol. Very good. I agree with you, I don't think we need a 'plan B' - we just need to execute the current 'plan A' just a tiny wee bit better. If that means shuffling the pack a bit, then fair enough - but is changing things after 3 league games not a little soon?

What about the obvious reason - whoever rang 999 got it wrong. It was the Polis we needed - we wuz robbed!

Unbeaten. 16 points clear of last place. 5 points clear of 11th place. All good so far

Aye - I think we were. The reason I remember that one so clearly is that either fortunately or unfortunately, I'd won corporate hospitality that day (the old 800 club). To add insult to injury, not only did I have to wear a suit to watch us get pumped, the man of the match sponsors were a group of Hearts fans, so after the match I got to watch them give the award to one of their lot! In fairness, I couldn't think of anyone in Red and Yellow who actually deserved it.

The last game I remember where Hearts were at Firhill in the SPL, the manager was Gerry Collins, the team were frankly a disorganised rabble, and we got pumped 4-0. I'll take the slight disappointment from last night any time, compared with that. Also - I don't think it's a coincidence that of the two teams that have been here so far this season, their goalies both had to be very good. A wee bit more of that composure thing in front of goal, and I think we'll do OK.
