The Polish guy has been on the bench most weeks, so presumably he is the current 2nd choice. Was Fraser not having some sort of injury problems? Or has that all cleared up.

Easiest way is to go to the SPL page on the Beeb, and there is a list of match links on the right. You'll need a proxy this week though as it is a UK only job.

Comfortable win for us by a 2 goal margin. The kids in the team have bouncebackability (as Sir Alex like to call it) and will take it to them straight from kick off.

I think it depends if it really is lack of fight, or just a refusal to panic. JG has said on a number of occasions that he is trying to introduce a framework (based on passing) that lets the players express themselves. He has also said how he wants his players to stick to that, and keep playing football to try and create chances. There is a danger that when you start taking digs back at the opposition you lose your discipline and shape - which is exactly what they want.

The dug?

Did you feck off after their 3rd on Saturday?

I know what you mean, but in 4-5-1 the striker shouldn't really be having to track back. What's the point of overloading the midfield if you still need your only outlet up front to keep coming back to help? Five men (plus support from the full backs) should be more than plenty to get the ball moving from midfield.

I see that as the opposite problem i.e the midfield support is too far away from him. I agree we should keep playing him though. It seems like he is still improving. Unfortunately, with the injury situation at Everton, I think he might improve just enough to get recalled at the end of his loan deal.

I think that's the key. Playing 4-5-1 successfully (or whatever variant you choose) is heavily dependent on the midfield being in close support when we attack. A lone striker can only hold the ball for so long before he needs to pass.

Nah, people just remember the duff performances more. We have had plenty of good wins in the cups too.

The Cowdenbeath game was 1976. For some reason we took the whole town over and ran out 2 - 0 winners. I remember Marinello having a stormer that day.

If I had known the options were really 1 point or getting papped oot the cup, I wouldn't have voted

It's a genuine indicator of what we said at the start of the season. When you have a team full of youngsters you are going to get some performances that are excellent and some that are poor. What you won't get is as much consistency as you might like.

Well away and post aw yir wee smileys on Ferguslie Corner, because yir patter is honking. I can see why they keep ye Faraway.

I'm guessing the St, Midden boards already banned him for being too annoying.

Aye, the live text is murder.

Who cares if it gets us into Europe? Europe should be for consistent league performances anyway. The League Cup is one of 2 pieces of silverware we have a chance of winning. If it was that diddy, we'd be winning it more often.

We don't have a big enough squad yet to be punting guys with first team experience.

My old mind is playing tricks. I know my first game was in March 1970 (on my 5th birthday). I thought it was Dundee Utd we played, but looking at the fixture list it was Partick Thistle we beat (3 - 1). As much as I enjoyed being at the game, I was equally interested in the Kia-Ora and the Chipmunk Crisps.

Banter would imply I'm joking.

Beeb EDIT: Haggis beat me too it. The ex-pats always have the links to hand.

It feels like good sex...... never mind, you won't have any idea about that either.

It better be, or we'll be going home with nothing.

Typical St. Midden game so far.
