No' very original mind you... isn't it in the top 5 or 10 most popular girls' names at the moment?

He could have licked every Hearts player's boots clean for fun for all I care, if he came to use and did a good job. Not really the style of manager I'd like to see at the club at this time, though.

Don't get over very often these days, but I always used to stand near the halfway line when I was a regular, and when it became the East Stand and I acquired a season ticket, it was for pretty much the very spot where I used to stand. Have never liked the view from behind the goals at any stadium, although it wasn't quite so bad in the days where you could swap ends at half time

He's hardly a "new manager". New to the SPL, perhaps, but he's managed club and international sides for several years, winning five league titles and two cups, and had good runs in European competition too.

Or Jim Gannon To be fair, though, Fenlon has proved himself to be a cut above the rest, at least in League of Ireland terms. The Bohs fans I know will be absolutely gutted if he leaves.

I don't buy this "new stadia have no atmosphere" stuff. It's up to the fans to generate atmosphere, not the builders.

Finally got Motherwell TV working then?

Or Tango Man...

Relegation battles aren't necessarily "bleak"... would certainly give us more to get excited about and focus on than battling it out for 6th or 7th place.

After three woeful defeats in a row, I don't think they need us to tell them that.

By which he probably means "I read that story in the Rancid this morning that the players had a bit of a shout at each other in the dressing room last week, which they've been quite open about". http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/...86908-21923105/

Trouble is, nothing was really working all that well earlier in the season either, we were just luckier (and perhaps a bit fitter than the others, an advantage we don't have any more).

Lucas off, Humphrey on. Booing ensues.

3-1, hat-trick McDonald.

O'Brien off, Slane on.

Lasley off, Murphy on.

Two in two minutes... 2-1 St Johnstone. Yass posted missing for both, by the sound of it.

Can't confirm it, but now that we have functional undersoil heating, I'd guess the covers would only be useful now if there's any further heavy snow forecast between now and the game.

Because we're practising to be Barca or Arsenal.

Indeed. Anyone here who's worked in a call centre will know that if a customer phones up and swears at you because they're upset, then having a go back at them is an absolute no-no. Standard practice is to keep the heid and politely tell them that you won't deal with their issue until they moderate their language, and if they won't, then you just end the call without being drawn into a slagging match.

Gotta love the irony of a racial intolerance thread in which the aggrieved party nonetheless considers it acceptable to refer to a Rangers championship win as "the H's clinching the title"...

Every manager deserves at least a season and a half to get his own team playing the way he wants them to, with the possible exception of getting them relegated after the first. Numptiness of the highest order to suggest otherwise.

2-0, so much for keeping it tight...
