  1. Don't knoe from where I am in Lancashire if it was or wasn't, but ....... yet another penalty claim that we're not given
  2. Bonus to see Booth make it. Interesting to see how Stevo, Craigen and Lawless line up. No obvious left sider in that lot.
  3. Maybe we used up a portion of our luck in getting promotted ? Remember the fog at Cowdenbeath. Late goals against Airdrie. Yes I think we have been a bit unlucky this season, but what goes around comes around.
  4. Behave ! If you think this is better than a Thistle Jersey you are on the wrong website.
  5. I have low expectations for tomorrow. I'm also wondering if we would have a better chance of avoiding any relegation problems (which I don't seriously think we will have) if Hamilton were to drop into the bottom 6. On their form, they are catchable
  6. Congrats. Can we add Montserrat to the nationalities who have played for/scored for the Jags ?
  7. Am I missing something. Is'nt the first rule of this forum to look for the negative in any story ?
  8. I am wondering if this is a prospective release of new shares in the hope of general new investment, or if they have someone lined up ready to invest in exchange for shares. If it is the former, it would be a funny time of year to do that and would suggest that the finacial situation is much worse that believed. I'm therefore wondering about the latter, in the week when delegates from Qatar are in town setting up a friendly with the SFA. Just thinking like.
  9. Hardly disasterous ! It would be disappointing, but too early for anything to be called disasterous
  10. Well v Killie depends on whether you are looking over your shoulder or looking forwards. Edit to add: If we win or draw today I'd like Well to win. If we lose I'd like Killie to get atleast a point.
  11. Don't realy care what it sounds like as long as we win.
  12. Big game for Keenan. He will need a good game from Higgy to give him some protection on the left. As was said earlier, the team that scores first will win.
  13. No touches from Kallum's corner to the ball in the net
  14. I was probably just as flippant with my reply, but football is a results game and winning is everything. I am sure that the Wimbledon supporters of the '80s took great joy from a big hoof up the park, just as much as the Barca fans love 47 passes to get the ball out of their own half. Do it well and you get happy supporters, because you get wins. The 2 are totally interlinked and while there may be freak results, in general the team that executes their game plan the best will win. Now I would hate it if we became a team that won every week. I don't see the pleasure in going expecting a win and when it happens, so what. The glory hunting OF might get off on that, but I want a bit of unexpected. I'd like to see us beat Celtic/Aberdeen/Dundee U occassionaly, and will take defeats to Ross/St.Mirren/Motherwell occasionally as a consequence. The excitement comes from not knowing what you are going to get, rather than the way the game is played. And to answer the question directly, there is no point in our existing if we don't aim to be in the top flight and looking to get higher every year.
  15. Any winning football is good football Any losing football is bad football Has any supporter of any club ever said "well we may have lost 5-0, but we played great ?" I don't understand the question I'm being asked
  16. Whether it is a minority or not, it is clearly audible on the TV/radio and it is clear where the illegal chants are coming from. If the club is unable to control it's supporters then the prescient (from UEFA) is that home games should be played behind closed doors (or an away fans ban for away games). If it is just a minority then that might prompt them into action to cut it out and it would hurt the club financially. There is also a clear case for banning TV coverage of Rangers games (and forfeiting TV revenue).
  17. We had 2 home (St. Mirren, Ross) and 3 away games (Kilmarnock, Hibs, Hearts) last year post split. I think that they try to even it out therefore we should get 3 home games this year. There are financial implications from home gate receipts for the teams that have just 2 home games which is why they try to even it out.
  18. If you tell them they'll probably be an Adam Strachan, then they will be an Adam Strachan. If you tell them they could be a Maurice Johnston then they might be a Maurice Johnston
  19. St. Mirren away last season when we score 2 very late goals to come from behind (but should we have been behind to begin with ?) Queens Park 4-3 ?
  20. Have you tried eating 3 Dens Park pies ? That requires tenacity Dens Park .... organisation ..... Nope. Going to have to find a new dictionary to put these words together.
  21. Was it Disraeli who first said "There are lies, damned lies and statistics"
