The old firm fans and there clubs in general have total contempt for the rest of scottish football so anytime they lose a game is a good thing but even more so a cup final,well done st mirren.

He has nobody else to blame this time apart from the fact that he's just a shite football manager

Hopefully we see another performance like the Hibs and livi games,where we were right at it from the first whistle.the forward line is still a bit of conundrum,just has been a brilliant signing and maswanhise has been doing the business but it's about time the rest of them starting contributing more than they have been.

Marcus is ian mccall

If we get good performances from the likes of just and maswanhise then I think we will win this,if we get the first goal then the message has to be not letting up at any stage of the game so we dont end up with another killie or falkirk result at home.

A point beforehand would have been a decent result but even more so considering we weren't really at the races tonight,another clean sheet and keeps our good form going into the next game.

Exactly,and talk about playing out from the back,how good was mcginns pass last night that led to the sending off,he did similar at kilmarnock that got us the penalty.we could get some joy with that type of through ball against hearts as there centre backs aren't the quickest.

Impressive nights work from us

We need to stay switched on and offer them no encouragement at the start of the second half.

Get it up ya kettlewell,that would be karma if he got sacked after that result today.

No fucking about now,let's see this out.

He's done his time in scotland and coming back here on loan no matter which club,won't improve him anymore as a player,a loan move to serie b would be the best option for him of it was possible.

I said the same a couple of weeks back busta,it's every game we're swapping one centre half out for another,I know we're pretty dodgy at the back at the best of times but that can't be helping.

This game was billed as two complete opposite styles but it really boils down to they kept the ball out there own net more than we did.defensively were an absolute shambles to lose 4 goals in a semi final to st mirren isn't acceptable,we're just not aggressive enough at defending our own box or even in the wide areas.i think we got it wrong over the summer by keeping to many failed defenders on from last season and we're paying the price for it.i really like the manager and I'm 100% behind him but he really needs to start sorting the defence out of we want to keep improving,we really do defend like school boys far too often.the only good thing that might come from this game is that some of our current defenders and have now shown the manager that they aren't upto the job and we're already looking for replacements come January.

i get why we came into this season with stama as our number 9 but he ain't the answer.the issues we have in defence are completely our own making,we didn't need to keep both O'donnell and mcginn on,it should have been one or the other or ideally neither and the wages used to try and improve an already shit defence,gordon was a part of that shit defence last season but yet we go into a semi final with him and mcginn,it just won't do,Johnny k is a bit part part player at best,not the solid right back that we're crying out for,longelo has been a good signing but today and the livi game, he was awful but we don't have another to come in and give him a rest for a couple of games.throw in a piss poor keeper and it's a recipe for disaster.its going to be same old same old while the likes of mcginn and gordon are here,if any good comes of today it should show the manager that the defence needs ripped up and starting again.
