There’s only been 7 different winners since Premier League started in 1992. Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Blackburn, Leicester, Arsenal. Man U have 13 wins.

Glad to hear we’re appealing the sending off having seen it again on the BBC. Poor decision by a very poor Ref. The foul on Tiff later on was worse and all we got was a throw in!

SFA site states the following: “Denying the opposing team or an opponent a goal or an obvious goal scoring opportunity leads to an automatic one match suspension, effective immediately to the next match in the Competition in which the sending-off offence was reported. “ If I’m correct and the above was the reason for the sending off then it looks like he’ll miss the next round of the cup. Having said that we should definitely appeal it as it didn’t look like a sending off offence to me.

Might be a better option to leave him out and give McIver a rare start.

The recent run of clean sheets has been great but we’ve been really poor at the other end. We’ve only managed to score in 4 of the last 9 games and apart from the Ayr game haven’t looked likely to score either. We seldom create more than 2 or 3 decent chances in a game so desperately need some attacking options other than the usual hopeful punt up to Graham or Rudden. Tiffoney is the only player we have who is capable of creating something but is too easily snuffed out when they put two men on him. I’d like to see a creative midfielder and another striker come in in January but not holding my breath.

Anyone know why Rudden wasn’t in the squad yesterday?

Yes. Still no joy.

Purchased the stream to watch on the tv but got as far as a white box with the 2 club logos and a play button which greyed out every time the cursor entered the box. Tried on my ipad but kept buffering and then going to audio only. Eventually got it on a laptop. Any IT experts explain why I couldn’t get in to the stream on the tv? Wasn’t too happy with the hassle but very happy with the result!

I could make a case for him being worst ever!

By far the best team on the park today. Killie never laid a glove on us! Brilliant performance and result.

How we got a point out of that I’ll never know! That could easily have been a 5 or 6 goal defeat. We were woeful throughout with the same old punt up the park to Graham & Rudden who won little or nothing all day. Midfield totally devoid of ideas with Tiffoney & Smith marked out of the game and when they did get free the quality of their crosses was abysmal. We couldn’t string 2 passes together & didn’t have a single shot at goal in the second half. We need a creative midfielder & more options up front come the January window.

If you go on to iPlayer, Channels, Scotland, Schedule, Friday 15th you can watch the whole game there. Enjoy!

Anyone know why these games weren’t shown on Sky?

John Tangny (65), brought up in Smeaton Street, supported the Jags since 1963 when my dad took me to my first game at Firhill, a 0-0 draw with Motherwell.

Looks like linesman is about 5 yards behind play. Maybe the Jags are too quick for the opposition and the officials these days!

Looks like a goal to me!

Don’t see the need to make wholesale changes in the second half as we don’t play again until Tuesday so plenty of time for players to rest. Maybe replace Tiffoney & Rudden in case of injuries.

3 - 0 Jags! Feel it in my bones. Or it could just be my arthritis!

I hope as we go up to the Championship we pass them on the way down!

The reference to the Dundee game refers to the previous quote about the defence being unable to keep weans out of a close. The reference to the Pele quote was: His most famous quote, after being told that striker Colin McGlashan was concussed and didn’t know who he was in 1993. Doesn’t help with which game it was though!

Looking forward to the new season opening and celebrating my birthday with a multi goal humping of the Gypos. Also hoping to miss the game and do said celebrating in sunny Santorini!

According to the BBC news website - “Aberdeen cover half of £10 shortfall” Presumably now hoping a generous benefactor comes up with the other fiver!

Agree fully with this. Don’t think going down the legal route would benefit us in any way and would probably be detrimental to others in a worse position than we are financially. I’m confident some form of reconstruction will be forthcoming after the debacle of last week and that should mean no one loses out substantially. I just hope that once it’s all sorted out that there is still an appetite to make wholesale changes to the way the SPFL is run because it’s an utter shambles at present.

After the complete and utter shambles we’ve witnessed over the last few days it’s unbelievable that the person they’ve chosen to head up the league reconstruction task force just happens to be the chairman of one of the clubs who will be badly affected if there is no reconstruction!! You really couldn’t make it up. Looking on the bright side, it’s probably a plus for us as she should be looking to push it through to save her own club from the drop. Ever the optimist!
