Too true. Appointing Naismith would be the nearest to accepting the continuation of Clarke in charge. I'd be very disappointed if the former manager of Belgium & Portugal wasn't strongly opinionated but yes, that's not the SFA way. I'm hoping with his connection to Scotland that Martinez may accept terms below his expectation. Perhaps a naïve hope but who knows.

Wee bit of help needed please. Anyone on here able to tell me if there's ever a bad time to laugh at Morton?, Thanks

Ah. Knew Albion Rovers played a part 🙂

If that's the fella we got from Albion Rovers then definitely a serious mistake with us.

The McQuade/Erskine syndrome. If your teammates don't know what you're going to do then how the **** will the opposition have a Scooby.

Thought it was an excellent location. If you travel by canoe.

Think he was a light weight defensive mid with us. Ex sevco or a loan job. Maybe he's beefed up?

Personally I'd have to be drinking something a lot stronger than milk to take up that challenge

True, but if we get promoted even more games will be moved from Sat 3pm. And that won't even relate to whatever success we're having on the pitch. I still attend all home league games regardless if televised. But as a ST holder that's irrelevant to turnover. I'm now more likely to not attend away games that are on council telly. I'd suggest where we suffer at Firhill is in a drop in percentage away support. Ideally if we have to have the cameras at Firhill it's against teams with a poor fanbase. In that respect we've hit it off tonight. Lets hope next TV league game at home is to the likes of Stenny or QP and it's not to the Pars.

I'm a long time season ticket holder sitting in the same seat and around me largely similar. Same faces all just showing signs of age. It's easy then to be less aware of the effects of the kids go free initiative. Once tho' you attend an away game or two do you witness just how successful that initiative has been. I'd suggest the average age of attending Jags fans has dropped year on year, and that in itself will push up ST sales. I realise the advent of the Ultras (detest that term, the lads/lassies are great) will also have affected both average age and STs sold but I imagine Manpreet & other organisers were themselves fruits of kids go free. I feel we are now in an era where both ST sales and attendances are not solely driven by success on the park. Being realistic that's a more sustainable product.

Just asking but would TJF commissioning a Jordanhill Jag pin be out of the question? I'd certainly buy one. On one condition.

A quick look back over recent fixtures v Morton and I believe we've now scored the last goal in the last seven games. All seven goals have been either winners or equalisers denying them points, and most of them late on. Goes some way to explaining Morton fans ugly sister like paranoia when facing the Mighty Jags. Nice.

Btw missing the tackle on Aiden in the second half between a referee and linesman (even if not in his half of the pitch) was inexcusable. Could have been a straight red but certainly a yellow. I'll give officials plenty of latitude but when an incident could be career effecting you have to question why these clowns are allowed in the first place to be officiating.

Are you some sort of speed reader?

Know nothing about Morton's financial situation apart from it not being that healthy. I do think tho' they look strong enough to compete creditably in the bottom half of the division. If true that's personally a bit of a disappointment. Strangely, despite getting beaten and still not scoring a single goal so far, Ian Murray's job might be a tad safer today. While I agree with partickthedog that T has had a good start to the season I felt more performances like yesterday, even tho' he scored the goal, could relegate him to the bench. More so for away games where we need a good bit more dig. Obviously when Dempsey and especially Stanway are fit at least one midfielder from yesterday likely won't be starting. With his pace, nuisance value and general positivity I genuinely hope we don't lose T from a starting slot on a routine basis.

and here's me thinking whack-a-mole was a Mexican dip.

Head knock evidently.

Impressed with Morton's tackling even if we are bit delicate on the ball. Gotta improve in the 2nd half.

I'm new to Jagzone and just listened to MW's pre match thingy. Appears Rae was in constant contact with Ben with MW & Mr B finalizing the re-signing.

Is there an AI version of JJ?

Obviously a planet that finds unremitting impressions of Frank McAvennie hilarious. I'd suggest it will be a distant planet.

No

If it's a Mini Cooper you could re-enact scenes from the Italian Job.

With Infantino it has to be more than just lining his pockets. Or maybe it is just excessive greed, tho' I kinda think it's the power trip that's influencing him the most. Seems to be within Football governance you get two extremes, the ones who sit and do nothing to rock the boat or they're out and out mavericks like this fella. One thing about the powers that be that run Scottish Football is they can never be accused of being Mavericks. We're safe here. For instance say a journeyman player who played for example St Johnstone, St Mirren or even Thistle ever managed to reach a governing position. A post where he earned more in one year than perhaps in his entire playing career. It's hard to believe he'd do anything but toe the line.

Think DD is correct in saying we don't (and likely won't) have a best XI. But I'm sure Thornwood Jag knows that and is just started the ball rolling to gauge folk's opinions. So for what it's worth I'd agree roughly with his picks. Also can't fault the likely default formation or balance. Tho' I'm uncertain whether TJ has the two wide men on the correct wings? MacFarlane over Bud is a tad contentious but "on paper" at least looks correct. But I worry mostly about goals. Drozd has a lot to do to match Chalmers in that department and Aiden, despite his assists, could do with upping his goals too. Not having an out and out prolific goalscorer means goals from midfield will be vital. Stanway is the only midfielder I'd back to reach half a dozen. Positive substitutions will again play a big part. With Samuel & Henderson probably providing the greatest impact.
