Struggling to muster up a singe shit to give about this game. Getting bored of even thinking about Motherwell just now. St Johnstone 2-0.

You are. Poor Josh has done nowt wrong.

Bob McHugh. He stars as a Sunday league, fag smoking, burger eating, fat git on a Friday night. Or seriously, Reid, by not being godawful.

A like for shite sub and Law off for Erwin.

I used to think that if a ball came below neck height, he was excellent at knocking it on, but awful with the headers. It's all falling to bits now though.

Agreed. Hope it's us, but if it has to be them, at least there's something to really get irritated about.

Don't think we've been ououtclassed in this game. Having said that, it looks like both teams are indulging in a game of Horse as regards making 5 yard passes.

Bags 67th minute in the sweeps

Not halfway through a game man! But aye. Pushing it now.

Honking. *sigh*

The opinion's fine, but was this really the way to go on the insult front?

Yep, I'll give you that one

I find naming candidates to be a daft game, to be honest. We couldn't have picked Butcher, Gannon, McGhee, Brown or McCall, as to be fair, we've stayed out of the Scottish managers circuit of Calderwood, Hughes, Jefferies etc.

I've avoided commenting thus far because he was before my time (aware of records etc however) but I would be concerned if at any point we considered an option who had been out of management for that length of time, whoever it may be.

I believe it all stems from being three full inches smaller than Nielsen, and at a miserly 6 foot, shotstopping and general ability be damned. Well, that or folk have very short memories regarding Nielsen and his panicked turkey act.

Or when you're struggling so badly for bodies that you'd sooner hang one out to dry out of position (Ferguson) than have an older player look uncomfortable (Reid). Or when you've shuffled as many older options out of position as you can that really, you have to throw one in to make up the numbers. Even as we've done well in the league, youth development and man management of youth has been one of McCall's weakest areas. Even our promising youths have utterly stalled under him.

I see Josh and Nicky have been on again.

Twardzik. Could have been 6 otherwise. Ojamaa and Vigurs (offensively) come out with near pass marks, and Kerr should be starting.

Beasted 4-0. They'll have a reaction to the Accies pasting, whilst our reaction will be some form of baffled staring, as they stream past us with ease. Poor Twardzik. He doesn't deserve the shite he's to sit behind.

I appreciate the sentiment, and I agree that there is no obvious successor, but realistically, were McGhee, Gannon, Brown or McCall logical successors, or did we think outwith the horrible, shite stained box which most SPL teams recruit from and actually boost our prospects from there, through nothing bar some basic invention? I agree, the players selected should be bursting a gut, but the buck stops with the manager as regards piss poor motivation. His men, his poor formation, his unbalanced squad, his folly.

Very much so, to the point that we, as students were generally kept away from muscular (etc) injuries. Very specialised toward either doctors/surgeons or physios. And even within that, he seems a complex case, with back and knee issues as opposed to a solid and singular area.

Fully agreed, and entirely representative of the short-termism which has realistically been rife at the 'Ark since McCall took over.

So, I suppose that in that, I've directly contradicted myself. It is possible to play with a torn hamstring, but you'd have to be straddling the border of strain and tear. A bad tear would preclude any form of sporting activity on that leg.

My suspicion is that it's either been a severe strain, and poor management of that has led to a minor strain, or it's a low grade tear, which has happened near the end of that period. I would doubt that he played with that for an extended period. Possible, but very unlikely unless minimal.

I saw it, but didn't have any decent lines bar the "No, but maybe a new manager" which sucks.
