Agree with all points above. I also think it is evident at the games. The fans seem to be totally behind our young guys and the manager, with both home games the players have had standing ovations at half/full time. They must feel great when this happens so we need to keep it up. Who knows if we win on sat and then against Hibs we could be sitting comfortably in third (depending on Aberdeen results).

In Jim we trust I said at the game when I heard the line up that Gannon was known for his meticulous study of the opposition and trusted his judgement. Clean sheet reinforces that.

It goes something like "Remember our Fathers brave and bold, who fought for Ulster's cause" yada yada yada. I find it very, very boring still hearing them sing this gash (whatever your political viewpoint) and find it sad and embarrassing they still feel they need to bring it to the football. There was not a peep from their fans in the 2nd half until the Pen was given. Back to the game. Though we were brilliant at times. Good ball retention and our technique looks far better. Starting from the back and getting it down and playing rather than punting it and surrendering possession. Coke looked good again (if he had pace he would be amazing). O'Brien was ripping Whittaker (and Davis when they doubled up). Hately's passing was bang on at times as well. Very Encouraging.

I bought a ticket via phone the other day and asked for box office collection (couldn't trust amil to get it out to me in time). Will be ragin if its shut when I get there.

So was I, moved in '94 tho.

Don't think thats him mate

Apparently they have just punted 2 defenders. One of the m Izzy Iriekpen, who they only signed in the summer.

My mates band is playing at the Civic on sat. So going to head through and enjoy a few beers in Jack Daniels' while watching goalflash after goalflash of us pumping them before the gig

Scott McDonald was shite and about to quit football when we signed him. Only takes the right manager/club for it to turn to gold.

Greening is being loaned to Fulham I think. I think this is the player basically bargaining with the club, saying I want to play in the Premiership, loan me this year and I'll come back and play next year if West Brom get promoted. Rather than them losing him completely. I assume West Brom are getting a fair fee for the loan as well. Either that or I have totally the wrong end of the stick here.

The boy in the Arches toilet is a legend. Been there about 10 years. "Wash ya hands, wash ya face" "Who let the dogs out"

More germs in the kitchen than in the toilet anyway.

There are too many jokes you could make here. Puts a totally different slant on the phrase "giving someone the elbow".

Aye, Coke looks a tremendous acquisition. Plays the unglamourous holding midfield role but is very neat and tidy and will put in a tackle and find a pass. Think Jennings has it in his locker but just needs games.

Nothing like having hordes of arrogant undesirables invade your ground, only to see them greeting when you beat them

May explain the new apparent leniency with regards to standing in the East on Sat. Has she given the security a new brief or is that outwith her remit?

Pish is sterile anyway.

Injured

Played that yesterday at fir park... although maybe thats because we were playing killie

Only update so far: The manager finished on a note of frustration at missing out on a new striker before today’s game. The ‘Well boss had hoped to have at least one of his two targets snapped up to make his debut this afternoon but proceedings were held up and a deal couldn’t be done in time. “I am a bit frustrated we weren’t able to do anything before the game today.” Gannon admitted. “The players are keen as they are not getting their chance at their current clubs. We still have a week left and we’ve targeted a few and we are hopeful the deals will come off.

Word on the street yesterday was he is coming from West Ham

Thats exactly what I did

In fairly bad tase, especially given ravenscraig etc but just for the banter against Killie we could sing "nobody knows where my Johnnie has gone"

For what its worth here are Liverpool strikers who have no squad number: Dalla Valle Pacheco Saric Flora Brouwer Simon There were quite a few guys sent out on loan last yer, generally to European clubs.
