  1. As long as we finish above 10th, I'll still be happy. Top 6 finish would be a huge bonus, but not as important as keeping us away from the bottom 2.
  2. Maybe we should have taken an extra point from one of our other games to have made sure.

    I'm OK with Celtic losing tonight and against us.
  4. Scottish players' failures down south has more to do with their character than their talent. Granted, recent parachute payment agreements hve meant a large sum of money flowing to talent in the top Championship teams, but watch a few games with teams in the bottom third and you'll see your fair share of mediocrity. I spent a few years going to Portman Road to watch Ipswich after they had been relegated, and some matches were reminiscent of our 80s spell in the First Division.

    I'm sure he took it seriously too - just worried he might try to overthink thing again if he got the chance. I wouldn't want to pass up the chance of another Euro spot, but I'd almost prefer McGhee got an extra couple of weeks pre-season with the team than have an early start again.
  6. The funniest part was Ainsworth holding his head in anguish at sclaffing his shot and then watching it go in. Looked like his left foot just gave way under him as he hit it, but no way the keeper should have let it in. Happy to take it, though.

    Nancy - change to an unrecognizable shape, no shots on goal - seriously?

    If Utd make the play-off spot it's bad luck for the Championship team that plays them. Not that they are guaranteed a win as the Premiership team, but that momentum is a priceless. As Accies proved when they beat Hibs - much better to face a team that has slid down to 11th. Fair play to Utd if they do stay up, though. Football can be fickle, but even as recently as our win over them, I though they were a banker for the drop.

    Also true! I know it's fans nature to look ahead, but I'll still be happy if we finish 10th or higher. If we make the top 6 then that is a hell of an effort after the way we started the season. Even McGhee earlier in the season said it would be "a miracle". Watching the highlights, we weren't great today. We'll need to step up a gear if we are to keep the run going. What was encouraging, though, was the players' reaction to the goal and the win. I don't think I have seen them celebrate so much since the playoff win. Looks like a great team spirit again, and that alone can put a few extra points on the board.

    Let's get in the top 6 first, eh?

    This pedant is happy to report that arithmetic is a branch of mathematics.
  12. I have seen a few people comment on this, but not quite sure why there will be a difference in this summer's transfer pot if The Society owns the club. The strategy implemented by Les will be continued, I imagine, which includes selling players, bringing through youngsters and spending small transfer fees on guys like Moult to recoup a bigger return on investment. Running a budget on break-even doesn't preclude spending money. It just means that we need to get a return on the money we do spend.
  13. While there has never been an age restriction on good taste, it's true that the wisdom of years leads to the appreciation of the finer things in life. Now all you youngsters can get back to instagramming selfies with your cans of Special Brew while I sip my 25 year old single malt.
  14. If you have to rely on other results, the only team to blame is ourselves. Delighted we are up the right end of the table, though. Anything else will be a nice bonus.
  15. If we have to beat Celtic to be sure, that's fine too.
  16. Only another 200 years before I reach the top tier!
  17. While I'm sure it was a good night out, I think the event itself was a tough sell. I'm not sure fans are too interested in celebrating the 25th anniversary of a cup win. Apart from reminding us how long it is since we won a trophy, the nature of our club running so many events and giving so much access to the players probably means everyone who has ever wanted to speak the players or ask questions has had ample opportunity - which is a good thing, obviously. Maybe if there is another 25 years before we win a trophy teh 50 year will have a bigger turnout!
  18. Aye, that's what the commentator mentioned during their cup game with Hibs. Maybe a new hunting ground for our scouting network.
  19. Long term, it should be more than just a spreadsheet or database and more of a CRM system. Not my area of expertise, but there might be some members who know more about it.
  20. Not saying it was you, but there has definitrly been some hate on here. Given our options at full back, the managers must have thought he offered something the others did not.
  21. He's one of those players that fans hate but managers think does the job for them.
  22. If I take a photo of the mug with the picture on it, can I use it as a template to paint a mural on the back of the East Stand?
  23. TBF, Hall and Cadden have established themselves are regulars and Laing, Thomas, Leitch and Kennedy have recently been able to step up to good effect when required. If we can keep giving those guys game time over the next few weeks, I don't think it would harm our chances any.
  24. Whether or not that's true, I suspect now newRangers will be rejoining us next season, every player in Scotland will be linked with them in the next few months.
  25. How many did we lose with him in this season and last? I wish stats were more reliable.
