I think they were second bottom (equal on points with Accies). So not much change there, except they are safe from relegation now. So job done, but as with us, short-termism rather than squad rebuilding. If Aberdeen are smart, they will do what we should have done at the end of last season and get shot of him.

I was about 10 years old when we were heavy favourites against Airdrie in the Scottish Cup semi. That lesson has never been forgotten. Of course we have a good chance, but St. Johnstone will be thinking the exact same thing.

Maybe reading between the lines, but into today's Herald McCall is quotes as saying: which sounds to me like he will resting a few players.

Was that another "must-win" game we won tonight?

Is that how long it takes to chase boys now? That's very scientific.

Was happy to see Utd win yesterday. They didn't show up for the Cup Tie and I was worried that our league game would be their bounce-back performance. Having said that, they have arguably been the form team of the SPL these past 8 or 9 games, so it will no doubt be a battle. Can see us taking an early lead again, but Utd. coming back for a draw.

Based on our recent hot & cold performances, that was a great result - especially bearing in mind the injury and suspension situation.

I think that depends on the date of the signing. What I took from the article I read was that if you sign on or after April 1st then next season comes into play. Sign on March 31st and that isn't necessarily true. It wasn't exactly well explained, however, so I could be completely wrong (and not for the first time).

From Wiktionary: "petrol blue (UK) a greyish blue colour, tinted with green." So we have 'petrol', 'blue' & 'green' - everyone happy now?

Driving back home to England on Sunday morning and buying every newspaper I could at Gretna Services to read all about it again half a dozen different times.

McGhee had a complete squad when he arrived whereas Gannon barely had a team. His stated strategy was to strike the short term balance while he worked on the longer term development of the younger players. The reason he has a good reputation on transfers (at least with me) is that his actions backed up his words. Every single player he said he was going to sign was signed a few days later. Who knows what he would have done in the next couple of transfer windows, but based on the quality of players he did bring in, I'm sure he could have added more quality (and value) to the squad. I'm still waiting for McGhee's big centre half.

I think 'lyricist' is being pretty generous.

Goes back further than that - Joe Wark was the last man I remember having the benefit of a player in space when he took a shy.

I don't even remember the score (I think it was 0-0 or 1-1), but the night Stevie Kirk got sent off at Love Street after an 'incident' with Billy Abercrombie. Abercrombie eventually followed him, but not until he had been given 2 red cards (and received a 3rd in the tunnel). You don't get to witness things like that very often. Other memorable games would include the 5-4 Killie match, 2 - 0 win at Cowdenbeath in the Cup, the 1 - 0 last game of the season at Tynecastle that, thanks to Killie knocking in 6 in their game, prevented Hearts being promoted, winning 7 -1 at Kilbowie against a good Clydebank side, Brian McLair scoring 5 goals in consecutive games against the OF, Joe Wark (unusually for him) gifting a goal to Hearts and then playing like a man possessed to ensure we beat them 4 - 2 and, of course, the Cup Final.

It will end up along the lines of "Lift-off" or "Booster", mark my words. "Leg-Up" might make the cut, but "Leg-Over" probably won't.

I'm a big fan of the German model, but the fact that they get 375 million quid a season from TV helps keeps those ticket prices down. Imagine what we could do with 30 million guaranteed every year.

No point in blaming Doncaster for that one. The chairmen screwed over the fans with TV deals long before he arrived on the scene.

So that's a "no" then.

Like working out why you signed up for them in the first place?

If you're Ross Forbes it is the pelters. Give a player some encouragement and he might do something positive.♠ I agree up to a point, but if you look at all the negativity around this place when we started the year with a decent wee run in Europe (playing to our seeding) are sitting in the top 6, and heading to a SC Quarter at the weekend, then I think it's easy to show we are less tolerant than many other team's fans. There were people calling for McCall to get the boot before he even sat in the manager's chair. In the 40 years or so I have been watching this shower, this is definitely one of our more sucessful seasons.

As soon as the players stop taking pelters for one misplaced pass.

You're making me feel old. I was at that game - unfortunately the team didn't turn up To be fair though, that was a Dundee Utd side who could take 6 off anyone on their day,
