  1. Probably not a position that we urgently need to fill, but Michael Tidser has been linked with us in the past and his loan to Oldham is about to end. He is clearly out of favour at Rotherham, so would this be the time to take him off their hands ?

     

    Also, from BBC Sport Gossip ..... Netherlands international midfielder Demy de Zeeuw, 31, has posted an advert on business social networking site LinkedIn in an attempt to find a club. He was released by Belgian side Anderlecht in the summer ..... Worth a cheeky offer ?

  2. If we hadn't scored or conceded in the last 2 minutes of all games this season, we would have an extra 8 points (Dundee 1-1 20/12, Hamilton 3-3 1/11, D Utd 0-1 18/10, St M 1-2 19/9, Hamilton 1-2 23/8) and be in 6th place.

    Dont want to be pedantic, but it would be 9 points (both Hamilton goals on 23/8 were in last 2 mins, so we would have won that game) Also, Hamilton would have 5 points less.

  3. I realy hope that ATS doesn't come back, not for Thistle as he would make a great addition, but for him. I thought he was one who was going to make it and if he were to return it would be an admition of defeat and he'd become just another journeyman. He has the ability to do better than that.

  4. The Covetry one was deemed illegal as I recall as it has to be a clean strike with one foot. You also can't scoop it up.

     

    Back to the Kyoto Sanga goal, was it that great ? You knew exactly what was going to happen and the run up told you who was going to strike it. He took it well to be fair, but did all of these step overs add anything to it ?

  5. If you're suggesting that the manager might bring in one of them in January, would you if you were a BoD member be keen to release funds for this considering we play one up top (not going to change as I & others have been told), have 3 strikers on the books plus Christie Elliot if emergency & Ecclestone not been given a chance.

     

    I agree with Javeajag in that you aim low & aim lower.

     

    I'm not saying that at all. What I have said that there is a long time to go and a full transfer window to play out, so it is far to early to give up on a top 6 finish which is there for the taking. It may not work out, but it certainly won't if we all throw in the towel now.

     

    I think we all agree that we need a predatory goal scorer. Whether one is available and whether we can land them is another question, but if there is and we can, or if Eccleston or Doolan or Elliott gets given there chance and proves to be a goal a game man then our fortunes would be transformed.

  6. I have absolutely no intention of giving up on a top 6 finish until it is mathematically impossible. There are 4 teams above us who are no better than we are - Hamilton, St.Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Dundee. Why should we surrender now and just give them the top 6 finish. We are no further behind Saints than we were behind Morton when we won the league. Did we give up then .... No. Do we give up now .... No.

     

    Other than a predatory goal scorer, we have the players to do it, so lets see what January brings and we can start moving upwards.

  7. Now the problem is that nobody knows what would of happened if Graham hadn't dived and St. Johnstone hadn't scored as a result ? Saints might have scored anyway, so awarding points to ICT retrospectively isn't really an option. You could suggest deducting points from Saints, but any decent lawyer would argue that the club should not be punished for the misdemenour of the player, unless they specifically told him to dive. The only realistic option is therefore to punish the player, which is what they have done.

     

    I'm not condoning what he did, just pointing out that the authorities are limited in what they can do.
