Unless something changes dramatically in the next few minutes we'll go into tomorrow's game in last place. Chances are that Celtic will be ready to kill after this past week's disaster, and Turnbull is away. We've got some new money, but do we have any clue how to get out of last place? Still we did finish 3rd last year, and let's not forget 2 cup finals!!!

I just read the manager's comments, unbelievable "I've done everything, it's down to the players!". It's probably safe to say he's now lost the dressingroom.

Stop going back to finishing 3rd last year, that was because of a good start. The last part of last season and the beginning of this have been terrible, and most managers with that record would have been fired. When you put the transfer season on top of that it just has to be down to the board and it's lack of vision and expectations. I can imagine if this was a normal season, that our crowds would be well down. When Turnbull is away we're in deep trouble.

I'm afraid decent football can't take the place of actually scoring. Accies are doing what they can in defence, but I'm not sure we have a plan to counteract that style. It's pretty basic and that will have us competing with Accies once a few more teams have done that to us. No imagination.

9/2. Nex week's training should be simply shooting at that space inside the woodwork! I'm only half kidding.

Reid, Hunter, St. John, Quinn, Weir.

Just tuned in for the first time, it seems that most of you are not very happy!!! Just another Saturday rant, but I'm surprised someone hasn't called for the manager's head already. Enjoy the season one and all.

Well, or not well! It really looks like this team is just not comfortable in the top three since we're now unable to string a decent score in recent games, and we sure can't get any points from the OF. So just wonder where they've set their level of a successful season at. Clearly all the others are aiming for third, but I get the impression we get nosebleeds thinking about that.

Very good season with relegation off the table before Christmas. I'm not sure how we can cope with that! Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!

I worried if we could hold them off with only a one goal lead, but this team is tougher than we've had for a while, so a good week, and when did we last have this point level at the start of December?

Take the points and run. Just watched the Liverpool/Arsenal goalfest, we should get some of those youngsters on loan! Still, Mon the Well!!!

I watched the game in a Rangers supporter's home and we were both surprised: him with how ineffective they were and me with how we stuck in there and frustrated them. I thought we would absolutely wilt in the second half, but the lads dug deep and hung on fairly well. There should never be a close game the way the OF have been able to get better players, so third is as far as we can really go, but this team seem to have more backbone so I think they might just do it.

As long as the model is to find young players and then sell them on we'll never have ongoing success like the top teams have, and that impacts on attendance as well as budget. We'll never get the kind of money Celtic seem to get from transfers. It will always be season to season, and any comparison to Sir Alex at Man U makes no sense at all. Enjoy what we've had this season while we have it because we're all striving for 3rd place now that the OF are back.

Grief, I haven't been able to be as close as normal, so I'm not sure I can cope with us being 3rd at this stage. The usual script doesn't fit anymore as we're normally hearing hollering for the manager's head by now, and how bad every player has been. It must be global warming that has upset the usual pattern. Crivens!!!

Almost all of the Ancel babes belong in the heroes category.

I've been away for a while and wonder what's happened to Mixr? Seem to have lost the link, and therefore not able to enjoy the group of listeners. Any info about how to follow other than on BBC Sports?

If only that could happen. Those of us who saw that team would match them against any Motherwell team since then. That was pure football magic, and pre-season games were against major teams. Ian St John's six goals against the Brazilians, Thumping Leeds United who were a top team. nobody came to Fir Park and beat us. The only scare was Mc Seveney (sp ?) who was clumsy, but Hastie Weir, Pat Holton, Aitken, Martis, McCann, Billy Reid, Hunter, St. John, Pat Quinn, and Andy Weir, all made Saturday afternoon special. The best part for me was also being with a bunch of friends in the middle of the away supporters and giving as much as we got, except for the Old Firm. Vintage "Team"!

The missing word was Killie.

Don't know why I'm doing this, but here goes. We had a brief glimpse of football for about five weeks after a miserable start, and for that time the manager was a hero. But here we are again back where we started. So was the board right in sticking with him for a short time, or have the overall results suggested we really do need a fresh outlook? I don't know what did to get their manager in, but he's worked wonders with players who really aren't any better than most. I think they're now regularly pulling 5K+ at home, and their SPFL payout will be pretty good. I think it's time for serious reflection because at this level of play I imagine many other options look better for a Saturday afternoon.

Take it and run!!!

This looks like an expensive day with Livingston and St. J now ahead.

Yep, need a joiner, hammer and nails!

Defence on holiday today!

Not often we get a live television game in Canada, and we had to get this one. First of all this was a very ordinary Rangers team, and second, our passing was terrible. Then there were the dreadful defensive mistakes, but when you add the hoofball tactics there was never a chance of constructive football. We never did have an answer to how Rangers doubled up on our kids so they might get a first chance, but never a second. Rangers just bundled them over, if they didn't just pick their pocket in the first place. The referee seemed a bit unfair at times, but the bottom line is still a huge gap between us and the top six Teams. Reality is that with 2 Glasgow giants, 2 Edinburgh well supported teams, and the Dons, everybody else is trying for one top six place left, and the difference this year was down to Killie having a very good manager who got incredible results from his players. The divide gets worse every year, and it's basically about money.

Good to see the young guys!!
