You always want to finish as high up the league as you can ie top 6 for financial gain and a shot at a European place, as brutal a season as we've had we are only 12 points off 3rd and guaranteed European group stage football ffs given the standard in the SPL outwith the ugly sisters. But I take your point finishing 7th would probably be more beneficial to the club as a whole to have the team properly organised and prepared For next season, and save us further Euro embarrassment as well 🙂

3 games left before the split, 9 points will give us a very very slim chance of a top 6 finish, so going for a home win to keep the momentum going.

I watched it on BBC Alba last night, Marshall was airborne studs 1st, and took out the Motherwell player hip high, nowhere near the ball so no attempt to play it, the tackle was reckless and dangerous as clear a penalty and Red card as you will ever see.

Full game on BBC Alba just now

For me Dave that statement says, "we've not been overwhelmed with interest in the job" but I'll give the board the benefit of the doubt and assume they are carrying out proper due diligence etc to ensure the get the right individual in post to take the club forward or, just promote an existing club employee like they usually do.

That's the main problem in England the finances are unsustainable the premiership teams paying ridiculous amounts of wages each week and its the same in every other league, remember a few seasons ago, non league at the time Salford City were allegedly paying Adam Rooney 5k a week ffs. God knows how clubs like that survive yes they probably have bigger crowds than some Scottish Premiership teams but most of the clubs must be hanging by a thread, they probably all have rich owners but even then there has to be limits.

As Clarke has just signed a new contract till 2026 its only going to get worse, and a lot of homegrown talent won't get a sniff at international level with him the whole SFA set up stinks, Scotland won't be qualifying for the Euro's or the next World Cup with him in charge.

That statement has the makings of a counter Tifo display from the grumpy auld gits amongst the support, would be a class banner tbf 😁.

Hopefully your run of bad predictions continues and we get a positive result ....( for future info, positive means you want your team to do well and win 🙂)

This is a must not lose game, 3 points would be brilliant but coming away with a point would keep the momentum going as Dundee untd play Rangers, Killie v Hearts and Ross County v Celtic so a win could potentially put us 11 clear of bottom spot, and 9 from 11th.

Seriously even with the winking face that is feckin horrendous patter have a look at your self, this is real life not some episode of the "football factory" which you seem to think it is, get a grip ffs.

He may well be 3rd choice at the moment if you think bringing in Gunn was the correct decision but he should have at least 1 or 2 caps to his name by now if Clarke was in any way competent. Excellent club form is never a guarantee of excellent international form, but nobody could deny that he should have been tried out in some of the games he's been called up for, the Same applies to a fair few of the outfield players as well.

Never heard as much shite in all my life, you really do seem to have issues with the police. For me people are assumed to be innocent until proved guilty, and as for police tactics that's for them to decide that's what the general public expect when we get them to keep us safe. If any criminality has taken place then those responsible deserve all they get, so are we to assume that all the Bois are wee angels and innocent and victims of your perceived police incompetence, bias or whatever conspiracy you subscribe to? Or do you agree that the few responsible should be taken to account for any alleged incidents, as I am sure the majority would agree with.

Allright now you've got off yor chest, I know feck all about alleged police actions, Dawn raids etc but I assume the police have genuine reasons / evidence to warrant such actions and behaviour, does anyone seriously think they just do stuff like that as they are bored? If any members the block E fans are up to any criminality then they should be prepared to accept the consequences,as I have said before it's a very fine line between enthusiastic support for your team and taking it too far, and from the various forum members reporting what they have seen it does seem that on occasions the support has gone too far, much has been said about self policing which is a great idea, but only if it works and is seen to be working but if not the the various authorities need to get involved. I'm sure the vast majority of Well fans support the enthusiasm and effort the block E guys put in to enhance the Fir park experience, so it would be a shame if a minority within them are determined to take it too far and cause issues but if they are action in whatever form it takes may be required

All fair points but the issue I have is that we have a lot of homegrown talent all playing 1st team football, capped at U21 and youth levels etc that never seem to be given the chance to step up to the full international team on a regular basis under successive Scotland managers. Turnbull, Campbell, Gilmour, Nisbet, Patterson, and in years gone by, Coyne, McGeady, McCarthy etc. These are the players that the Scotland team should be built with, not bringing in constant pseudo Scots who are no better than what we already have available. It might change for the better one day but not with coaches like Clarke in charge for me the current structure is not fit for purpose.

Well said, but be careful what you wish for, my seat in the POD is allegedly padded, but comfort was obviously not in the design brief for those seats when made over 70 years ago.

Feels Scottish.... aye ok, he's on record stating how shit it is being part of the international squads and being away with Scotland, it does not matter if your dad, Grandad etc are Scots, the boy owes everything he has in football to England, youth teams semi pro, and pro contracts etc and if he had as much as a sniff of an England call up he would be nowhere near us, so I'm not having any of that " I feel Scottish " shite. How many genuine home grown players has Scotland lost over the years because they were not picked in place of Random English players whose Grannies once had shortbread at Gretna Green. Why are players like Alan Campbell, Turnbull, Nisbet to name a few getting over looked for guys like, Che Adams, Jacob Brown, lyndon Dykes, and the latest guy from Blackburn Dominic Hyam its feckin nonsense.

With a compliant media and football authorities giving them an easy time, that's the one and only mention the incident will get, from a club employee.

Another pretend Scotsman who is only playing for us as he was never going to be good enough to be called up by England, and as it turns out he's not even good enough for us.

Went for Max Johnston, he's developing into a good player I hope we can hold on to him for another season or two, special mention for KVV

Can you imagine the seethe and "letters of clarification" Heading for Hampden if an ugly sisters player was cited for deliberate cheating, the SFA are shit scared of them? But as those two get an easy ride media wise in Scotland its never going to happen, to the detriment of the other 40 clubs in the SPFL.

Spot on , Clarke is feckin hopeless and his bosses at the SFA are just as bad for letting that situation arise, irrespective of whether Gordon was injured or not we would still have the same scenario. But Clarke gets an easy ride from the Media and the SFA, so nothing ever gets done.

I agree re Cornelius he was very poor today, all over the place, ball watching all game, very rarely picked a runner up. As for Slattery his stupid tackle cost us the 1st goal and he had a poor game but tbf he's been a better looking player under SK, so I would not be too harsh on him.

VAR was shocking today like you I thought our 1st and their 3rd were both off, the VAR lines do not look to be straight.

So who invades the pitch from that section in the ground then, sets flares off, winds up the stewards, etc, etc if not the "bois"? We all watch it from other parts of Fir Park or away grounds and any "Stupid behaviour" as you put it always seems to emanate from them, is there a special Troll squad within block E giving the others a bad name?
