It's part of the mystery and magic of football. You get the right mix of players and management at the right time and great things can happen. Then, just as quickly and mysteriously it ends and can't be recreated. That's why I said at the time (when the usual suspects were complaining about our shortcomings) to enjoy it while it lasts, because historically we are more likely to be in the lower reaches of the league than sitting near the top. McCall just seems like a decent guy as well. When you hear him talk about that period with us I don't think he can believe how successful he was.

I was on board with the Society from the outset, but surprised it has had so much success in such a short space of time. There have been mistakes along the way, but there's no doubt in my mind it is the best way forward for ourselves and other clubs of our size and means. A good cup run and a high league finish would be a nice way to celebrate being debt free.

For the 2018/19 Europa League the solidarity payments for the qualifying phase were: Should make money from that even with a prelim round defeat.

Do we not get a larger UEFA handout at the end of the tournament when we participated vs. when we don't?

We're going to win this one 2 - 1.

If we're going with a back three, then Dunne plays the left side. Back four, then it's tough on Hartley, but I can see Dunne taking his spot - at least until big Declan gets moved on for a few quid.

Gardiner is easily the worst keeper I have seen at Fir Park. He made many howlers long before that Hearts game. Woods was miles better.

I don't remember much about that game, but I remember the extra time goal.

Probably the MFC TV commentary team who said on second viewing it might not have been a foul, but we got away with Hartley's hand ball.

Just watched the highlights - clear deflection for their goal.

Hearts should be getting horsed here.

It's been a while since we had a winger that did. Robinson seems to like the ones that are unpredictable.

Even if it was, I think he's done enough this season to be allowed a rare mistake.

Agreed. If you'd told me before the Livi game that by 5pm today we'd still be 3rd in the league and still be in the cup, I'd have been quite happy.

Just put Scott's transfer cheque straight into DT's account.

I'm happy to see us field whatever the boss thinks our strongest team of salaried employees happens to be.

Every time I've seen us win the Scottish Cup we've needed a couple of replays along the way.

I like the sound of him. Some of us have made a career out of "looking busy".

Sounds like it's a bit breezy.

Live audio.

That's a bit dramatic. I thought they just hadn't made the first team squad for today's game (and it's nice change to have enough options to rotate).

'Mon the Accies!

We have office in Vancouver and the employees there manage to live a pretty decent lifestyle on much less than Rose's salary.

We didn't. But passing of extreme opinions as facts is how social media operates these days.

Nobody plays well at Livi - even Celtic have lost there this season. And, for all our hopes of beating them, Celtic are miles ahead of every team in Scotland in budget and quality of players. Of course we can try and compete with them 11 v 11 - and we did for periods of the game on Wednesday night - but as I said before the game, where quality makes a difference is in the percentage of changes taken. Celtic had 2 shots on target to our 3 when they were 2 - 0 ahead. That's the edge a few million quid buys you. So, for me, neither result was particularly unexpected. More unexpected was our win in Aberdeen. And despite that run of tough fixtures, we'll still 3 points clear in 3rd place when I was expecting Aberdeen might have overtaken us. I still have concerns about the right combination up front, but time will tell if Aaron and Ndjoli can make a difference.
