We all know how Livi will set up and that it will be a battle especiallly in midfield. We really need our guys to step up to the plate and show some bottle.

There's as much chance of the Scottish Govt pumping money into football development as me winning the lottery.

If the rumours are true, he's on a play and pay basis so costing us nought.

On hesgoal

If it helps us to cement a top six finish it's money well spent. Over to Grizzly!!!!

Sorry I told that story now lol.

Remember that game. Having a piss over the harbour wall that the wind blew back right over my head and some smart Alex who thought it would be a good idea to bring home a couple of stinking kippers on the bus. Was a bit of bother with the locals as well if I remember correctly.

Stevie Hammell should be checking the contract status of some of those Icelandic boys.

I'd go further than a thicker line and say there should be clear daylight between the defender and forward. How being an inch in front of a defender gives any sort of advantage to a forward beats me.

I think the background to this story has been well documented and people can make up their own minds about the circumstances but this has no place in a football forum.

Not unless Robbo's boy gets in first.

The Q&A was a good laugh as was the tombola.

See him there quite regularly. Don't know if that's where he lives or not.

Oh definately, just as Van Veen made a difference up top.

A few bog standard saves but nothing of note. I never felt that Hearts despite all their possession actually had us under any real pressure. Still don't want to go through another last 20 mins like that though.

Funny how a 4 hour return trip felt like an hour after a win whereas the last 3 1 game up there it felt like 8.

Lamie for me. Thought he defended really well

It's like a cup final for us and we need to treat it like one. Forget about the last 4 months and all the negativity for one night, we are one game away from a possible European spot and everything that brings to the club in terms of kudos,finance and attracting better players. We can argue about Alexander on the Thursday morning.

I'm away to change ma pants.

I sincerely hope that fans take a step back from the doom and gloom surrounding Alexander (hard to do at the moment I know) and look at the bigger picture here. It's easy to get swept along with the despondency when you are reading it over all our forums. Yes the football has been dire but the talk of not renewing season tickets is concerning and would surely put the club into financial difficulty and affect the amount of funds available for Alexander or whoever replaces him at some point( if that happens) to strengthen the team. So if we think the football has been dire this season think what it might be like next season if we can't afford to go after better players. I'll be renewing mine regardless as it's the club I support, not the manager players or board members and I want to see us around in the top division for as long as we can. We've come a long way and I would hate to see us going backwards because of one (or 2 depending on how you look at it) bad seasons.

You should go into the Killie and Midden threads in P&B and see how enjoyable the championship was/has been for them. Doesn't make good reading for anyone who thinks it would be better .

See Aberdeen trying to sign big Chas from the Midden. Aberdeen's opening bid doesn't meet their valuation apparently. Am I missing something here??.

Yeah good luck to Las, if anyone deserves success it's him and hopefully we see him back at FP one day with that experience under his belt. If rumours are true that Alexander is bringing in a new backroom team from Salford then that's a big thumbs up to him and a major financial commitment from the boardroom. My big fear is if the scenario you paint above transpires then the cost of paying up the contracts of an entire backroom team could be astronomical (realising that the costs would be the same for replacing any managerial/coaching staff), allied to scourcing replacements at the most inconvenient time. Hopefully things work out though as we've seen what changing managers has done for other teams this season.

St Mirren fans saying that the position on offer is actually more of a General Manager in charge of all club affairs rather than just the football side of things which would need financial and managerial experience which Las obviously doesn't have. Time will tell I suppose.

I'm broadly in favour ofVAR. For every decision that goes for you there will be one that goes against but at least then you know it was the right decision(well hopefully). On offside I would prefer it if there had to be daylight between the attacker and defender before being called. This offside because an attacker might have a semi and his shorts are an inch further forward than the defender is nonsense.
