  1. Now that we are out of the Scottish Cup it is all about the remaining league games.

    14 games - 7 at home and 7 away. Morton are on a good run and Queens Park are picking up under new management but Raith have been wobbling and Dunfermline are on a bad run so will certainly be interesting.

    I think the current top 5 will remain the same in terms of the teams but the order could change (hopefully with us overtaking Raith).

    The Raith game at Firhill which was postponed due to their involvement in the Trust Trophy still has to be rearranged, I was hoping it could be a Saturday but don't think that is possible now which is a shame as probably means a lower attendance.

    The 10 yard rule was dropped about 20 years ago, along with the equally daft golden goal extra timeΒ 

    Well shows what I know (or don't know). Next you will be telling me you can't push the keeper over the line when he has the ball in his hands and claim a goal and when did keepers stop wearing woolen turtleneck tops?

    Seriously though it seems the rulemakers go through phases of "this is going to solve problem x" then ditch that idea and later complain that problem x is still around.

  3. Part of the the problem, in my opinion, is that rules are just not applied or at least applied on a consistent basis. When was the last time you say a goalkeeper penalised for holding the ball longer than 7 seconds? Count how many times it happens today on both sides. Did a rule not get brought in a while back that if you were penalised and a free kick given against you and dissent was given the ref marched the free kick 10 yards forward - do we ever see that?

    Kris Doolan is now a year into the manager's role.

    He is now in the top half of the longest serving managers throughout the SPFL.

    A cut-throat group of leagues, for managers 😬

    So you don't think he is getting the sack in the next 4 days then?

    Rumours from the Daily Record that we are to recall Dowds from Ayr as Killie want him on loan? Really?

    I am not an expert on the rules but I believe that there is a date a club loaning a player out has to advise the other club if he is being recalled and that has passed. Even then as he has played for us and Ayr he could not play for another club this season.
