I think you're right. PNE have carried the poor form of the final quarter of last season right into this season's campaign.

Main. Just kidding. Didn't vote.

And Motherwell TV didn't cover yesterday's match. Also a good thing.

Hands up who didn't guess we'd go behind shortly after missing the pen?

I hope we're treating this match as a big one too rather than waiting for Livi. Btw, I see the game listed on MFC TV now, but I suppose that might just be the audio.

I was traveling for work so didn't get to watch the Hearts game.

I saw the most recent Celtic game. A great result for Killie but not high on the entertainment scale.

Far superior, except for their current points total and league position. Not that I'm saying we'll win - it will be the usual dire game that happens on Killie plastic. Players needing an extra touch to bring waist high bounces under control and, if the pitch isn't watered, balls getting held up on the "turf". Pure entertainment.

You with your facts and your fancy book learning.

We've won all our games on plastic this season.

I thought the tradition was we just give to McGhee again.

He didn't say anything about reverting back to the long ball game. He said possession is no good unless you create quality chances and we had lacked quality in the past few games and failed to get sufficient crosses into the box. The long ball stuff was a journo making up a story. I agree, however, that the best way to do that is to use our best wide players as wingers instead of defenders.

Specialists like a fox.

I see Moult took the recent Motherwell penalty curse to Preston. He scored is pen tonight, but they lost the shootout.

I just listened to Robinson's interview - "passing resemblance" is being generous. Not that I'd expect anything less from that publication.

We beat Airdire, I think, in a Lanarkshire Cup shoot out. But I think that may have been the semi. My Lanarkshire Cup memories are a bit hazy. I haven't see us in a lot of penalty shoot outs. Probably because I'm of the age where a lot of my Cup memories are from the days of multiple replays all the way to the final.

And Carson and Hartley were carrying injuries - so shouldn't have started by your logic; it was Robinson's choice to play injured players. And the rest were useless as backups - but not as useless as the guys that came on as subs.

So when I was at the Accies game last December, and McHugh, Dunne, Cadden, Frear and Moult were all out injured, and Campbell had to go off injured in the first half, where were all those good backups he could have chosen to play?

It's listed on the Hearts TV site, so there's a good chance it will be.

I can't think of many managers that successfully stepped up from youth team coach to first team gaffer. Two pretty different skill sets. Plus, when his time is up (as happens for all managers) he'd be punted from the club. Giving up his BT gig, youth development gig and his agent's job for 3 years in the hot seat feels like a bad career move.

It wasn't about improving backups. It was about actually having backups - so no more Zak Jules thrown in as a panic move or playing guys carrying injuries in key games.

Same as last week. Not much between the teams, conceded a soft goal, don't have anyone with sufficient creativty up to top to make chances.

Aldred easily outjumped for a good chance a few minutes ago. Hartley miles off his man for the goal. (Not to keep banging on about it, but this is why I wanted to replace Kipre with someone with pace, rather than with Aldred. Still not convinced Aldred/Hartley works as a combo).

I'm guessing the point is to try and win today's game first. (Plus Sammon probably is slightly more of a goal threat than Bowman). I'm just glad he dropped Main, as he has been struggling recently.

Yes to both. Although I know a couple of UK based people using VPNs that watch it, so I'm guessing they aren't too strict about the details. Maybe one of those guys can let us know if they had to do anything special other than VPN.
