Electric Blues

He's the "ambassador" for the Exiles Club, and is hosting one of their events on the Friday night.

You're right enough, Saint Johnstone beat us too and finish 7th with 44 points. (I stopped thinking after they took the hypothetical points from Ross County.) It's still never going to happen.

I don't think I'll risk money betting on either scenario. Even though we'll almost certainly win the cup!

Not that I think for one single femtosecond that this will actually happen.

County are goners - they lose the next four and are relegated - 27 points St Johnstone beat County (and no-one else) - 41 points Partick win their next four - 40 points Hamilton win three - 39 points Dundee win two - 39 points Motherwell lose the next four - 39 points In your worst possible nightmare it could yet come down to goal difference for the play off spot.

Hibs 2 up against Celtic now, to delay any title celebrations. These ***** are beatable, all right.

As you were, then. Carson, Tait, Grimshaw, Cadden, Main, Bowman, Rose, Dunne, Aldred, Kipré, Campbell Subs: Griffiths, Bigirimana, McHugh, Frear, MacLean, Maguire, Scott

Main is running away with it already, and rightly so, so I'm voting for second place here. Even that's a tough call, but I've got Grimshaw just shading out Aldred - brilliant to see the old Liam is still in there.

I already stick in 20 quid every month, and as the (0.0000001% part) owner of this great club I hereby authorise this expense.

After agonising for several minutes between Campbell and Main, and bemoaning the fact that I couldn't give it to both of them, I solved the problem by voting for Tait. Surprised Aldred hasn't had a mention yet either.

Followed by a mass brawl in the tunnel, and an outbreak of norovirus the day before the semi. Or we could just pump their full-strength team like last time.

I always had a soft spot for Cleland. His old mum worked beside my old mum, and she was SO proud of him.

And we're at "home"

Resisted the obvious and went for Dunne. An absolute rock at the back, and he didn't give away any penalties. If he could just improve his passing he'd be absolutely immense.

Main's goal all day long. It might well have crossed the line anyway if he hadn't touched it, but it wasn't over beforehand.

McHugh started that whole move by blocking a hoofed clearance with his face. He was probably concussed again when he hit the shot. As the old joke has it, "Send him back out and tell him he's Pele."

Can't believe you can't believe it. How long have you been on here? Just for the record, I would prefer we finished top six, just saying that there are a few potential silver linings in the bottom six cloud.

Finishing 7th with 3 or 4 (or even 5) wins after the split would not be the worst thing in the world. It would be even better if we had a final trip to Hampden to look forward to.

According to the BBC (a dubious source, granted) at the 75 minute mark we've had one shot and no corners. And to think we all slagged off Kilmarnock's approach last week.

Both ugly sisters get home ties against lower league opposition. Nobody predicted that.

I'm quite looking forward to seeing what sort of damage a front two of Main and Bowman could cause.

I just got the "Well Society suspended your automatic payments" message from PayPal, 10 days after my normal payment date, so problems appear to be ongoing. I'll contact the society as advised, although I suspect the issue is common to everyone affected.

No message about suspension, no, but no message to say that my monthly subs due on the 9th had actually been collected either. I just logged into PayPal to check and it definitely hasn't been taken yet - it's always been the 9th of the month before, regular as clockwork.

No individual offence taken, and FWIW, I wasn't trying to make the point that old duffers like me lived through some golden age and everything was better in that land of lost content, because that would be bollocks. However, if it's OK with you - and despite my advancing age - I'll continue to offer the occasional opinion from time to time and if you find it boring I won't lose too much sleep over that.

I was told a few pages back - and I've no reason to doubt thisGRAEME's facts - that crowds are actually up and there's never been more money coming into the Scottish game. Apparently, though, the SFPL will still never be able to afford that new-fangled goal line technology, much to Neil Lennon's dismay.
