Why should it never have happened? Davie Cooper played for both clubs and was a hero to both sets of fans (well, most of our fans as I suspect there’s a few who are no doubt uneasy about calling him a ‘Well hero due to their “dislike of all things Rangers” ) and that Final was just a few days before the tenth anniversary of his death. The game itself was horrible for us but the Cooper tributes were spot on. Richie Foran was pish. One of the most overrated players we’ve ever had and a lazy bastard into the bargain. Liked a lock-in though and had all the burds in Starka and the Mega Bar swooning over him back in the day so he got a free pass with the mugs in our fanbase who see the players as their pals.

Deservedly in front at the break. Nicholson’s goal was an absolute peach and shows the class that made him a standout as a youngster at Hearts.

Yeah that’s what I meant saying that County losing is good for us. I don’t think we’ll be relegated and I didn’t think we’d be relegated before today, but had County gained any more ground on us after another poor result and performance for us then it would have made things twitchy.

At least Ross County are losing otherwise this could get very uncomfortable for us at the bottom. The sooner this season is in the bin the better.

Can’t see anything other than another defeat today. 3-1 home win.

You would certainly hope that we could beat Livingston at home at least. Though the rest of the potential fixtures, away to Hibs and Ross County eg. then you would be thinking that a draw in both games is the most likely outcome.

Yip going by our form this season that seems the most likely.

Super strike from Blaney at the death but ultimately it means nothing. Another mediocre result in a mediocre season and keeping with the tradition of the campaign we score a last minute equaliser to steal a draw, which still isnt good enough.

Think we’ll lose today. Can see it being a high scoring game but not confident of getting anything. 3-4

I’m happy that we won, despite it looking for all the world that we were dead and buried when we went 2-0 down. Aren’t you?

Pathetic stuff.

No doubt the state of the pitch will be put forward as an excuse but there’s no getting away from the fact that this is dismal stuff. We’re not out of relegation danger by any means.

Another inspection at 1pm now. Utter nonsense!

Of course we can. The deal was that he was on loan here until the end of the season with the option of us signing him permanently from the summer onwards. We don’t have to take that option up and if he’s not fit enough then you’d certainly like to hope that we wouldn’t. I suspect he will retire from playing once this season is over anyway so it won’t be an issue.

Chronic stuff again and another cheap preventable goal given away.

Have you actually seen SO’D play for the past three years? If that’s who Scotland turn to to solve their right back issues then God help them. And I love how you refer to Patterson as “The ex Ranger” rather than “the Everton player” which he has been for well over two years now. Is that all you see him as? There must be some amount of mental gymnastics involved in supporting Scotland for those who just can’t see past their hatred of Rangers.

I disagree, his first act as CEO should be collating the head of social media and getting them to remove that dreadful patronising nonsense “we exist to improve people’s lives” from all platforms. That’s what I would do anyway.

Good to hear that we finally have a CEO in place. Best of luck to him.

You’re right it wasn’t a friendly, so I stand corrected on that one. But for me International football is pointless and it is especially pointless not to mention completely disruptive when it forces the real football to stop for an entire week or so during the season. Why can’t they just play these games in May/June in years where there is no World Cup or Euros? And Scotland getting pumped by Holland isn’t going to make many difference to anything, but I will still have a chuckle about it.

Another defeat against this mob I reckon. 0-2

Of course it’ll be a season ended. Our players just can’t pick up wee niggles that keep them out for one or two games.

Get international football in the fucking bin! It’s bad enough we can’t seem to go a few weeks without key players picking up injuries when they’re with us but when it’s playing a meaningless friendly for the National team then it just rubs salt in the wound. I hope Holland pump Scotland tomorrow night as a GIRUY to the SFA.

The club have released a statement “seeking an explanation from the SFA on a number of refereeing decisions”.

I take your point but if a side is only needing one shot at goal to beat us and we can’t get back in the game with over half of a football match still to play, at home, then I’d say that we deserve to lose. It’s fine margins in this league and games like today’s more often than not come down to which side can take chances at one end and keep goals out at the other.

The VAR decision was in the 43rd minute. As harsh as it looked we were already behind at that stage and deservedly so. We then had an entire half of football to get back level but we never looked like we would score. “We don’t have anyone that can convert half chances”. You’re right there. And that is why we lost today and deserved to lose, because if you can’t score goals then you don’t win football matches.
