Electric Blues

You show one fud, though, and then everyone wants in on the act - much like "Readers' Wives" back in the seventies.

I quite agree that Turnbull deserves all credit for the shot. (Just for the record, I voted for Cadden.) I typed the original comment during the Alba highlights, and was alluding as much to the way Samson was flapping at corners and crosses, and just generally failing to inspire his defence with any confidence. (I didn't think Bowman did much wrong on the one that ended up in the net near the end of the first half either, although not speaking Gaelic that might have been disallowed for an offside rather than a foul, who knows.)

For the first time ever I was going to vote for Craig Samson, but his name is unaccountably absent from the list.

Celtic 3 up against Dundee now, so no surprises there.

"Collects the ball about 25 yards out and fires it low and hard which catches out Samson! "

Get fucking in!

One shot on target so far - for Saints.

Club Twitter reports "Motherwell lining up in a 4-4-2 formation".

It's easier to predict where we'll be if we lose our next two - rock bottom, that's where. Let's not lose them, eh?

Definitely Wednesday.

I've never been to Livingston's ground (I can't bring myself to type the abomination of its official name) but looking at it on the TV it appears that they've given three full stands over to Rangers. I can't see a single Livingston fan anywhere, although presumably they're in the fourth stand I can't see on the telly.

That name's going to stick, I fear.

I realise it's the exception rather the rule, but in the last few games we've scored 3 against Dundee and 3 against Rangers, including a last gasp equaliser. But you knock yourself out there, pal.

I thought the point was to hope your own team scored a few goals. Guess I've been doing it wrong.

Almost right, but you missed the bit where they didn't make any gloating comments about how Carson and Motherwell deserved it after what that nasty Peter Hartley said about Cardosa's nose.

If we'd knocked three past Hamilton they'd be bottom now, and we'd be third. That's the margins at this early stage.

I hope McGregor remembers he has to face Hartley at least three more times this season. I hope that doesn't prey on his mind.

Hartley. Not even close to being the best player on the pitch, but Bigi's already deservedly miles clear, so Pete gets my "Man of the Match" purely for the seethe-inducing glory of that memorable last kick equaliser.

Get the MOTM thread up now and - despite plenty of other contenders - let's see if anyone has the temerity not to vote for Hartley.

Indeed. We played the top three at Hampden four times last season, won two, lost two. Speaking as someone who has to spend the best part of a grand every time I come over for a game, I believe I still got my money's worth.

I haven't seen Gorrin in person yet, but there have been a few comments to the effect that he can make a pass, while also looking handy in the tackle. Any reason why he couldn't play with Bigi rather than instead of him? (Other than this not exactly confirming to SR's "Plan A".)

Luckily, no-one on here ever second guesses those people, let alone questions their ability.

I'm happier with Livi than Ayr.
