  1. My head said Rangers but there was always the nagging concern that we would bottle it and the thought of losing to them (again) filled me with dread. With hindsight I wouldn't change a moment of it

    St Mirren

    Many good candidates tonight, Erwin, Johnson, Laing, Pearson and Ainsworth were outstanding, McDonald too, just wish he could stay onside occasionally. Voted for Lasley though, covered every blade of grass and totally bossed the midfield.

    Inverness

    Quite a few candidates for a change, MacDonald made a huge difference up front, Pearson's presence in the middle of the park allowed Lasley to play like we know Lasley can play, Erwin ran himself into the ground and Law looks much better at right back than in midfield. I voted for Long however, when Law's header was short it looked like one mistake would cost us and that save was a momentum changer, if we had gone 1-0 down the second half could, and probably would, have been very different, it might even be the point where our season turns on, not just that one game.
  4. Agreed, he was also very visible in front of the dugout after he was subbed, encouraging the team and generally looking right up for the fight. Overall a very different feeling this week from last, we actually looked like a football team this week.

    Dundee Utd

    I could make a case for most of the team, then could counter my argument with a poor mistake from most of them, in the end I went for Ramsden, he was generally in the right place at the right time (and somehow didn't get booked for a belter of a foul with about 10 minutes left)
  6. It should also be pointed out the Ropy lives in Bannockburn and therefore has a 40 minute start on the rest.

    Up For It!

    I always tell my wife that the cup final is fourth behind our wedding and the birth of our two children...................I suspect she knows that I'm lying
  8. Four goals, hit the woodwork four times ( five if McManus's goal that never was hit the bar twice), two one on one chances where first Ainswort then Moore shot when a simple squarepass along the 6 yard box would have produced simple tap ins, we could have doubled our score today and it wouldn't have flattered us.

    St Johnstone

    Absolutely no failures today, you could make a case for just about any of the starting 11. I'm going for Vigurs, narrowly ahead of Ainsworth, when he plays with his head up like he did today you can see why McCall was so keen to sign him,plus, you could see what the goal meant to both him and his team mates.
  10. Agreed, except I plumped for Lasley. Tough choice as I didn't think anybody was outstanding. Always good to beat Hearts though, no matter what the performance was like.
  11. I don't see us winning by the nine goals that are required for that, we can dream though
  12. Shocked and saddened by this news, like a few of the other oldies on here he was an early hero who never shirked a tackle or a fight. R.I.P Peter
  13. That 4th goal showed why Bobby Graham was my favourite 'Well player of that era, sublime touch and vision
  14. My understanding is that Lawless was going to get his chance when the window shut In January after Murphy signed for Blackpool, when that deal fell through it was too late for Lawless to go out on loan and he ended up kicking his heels for 6 months. When McCall realised that the whole SPL summer shambles meant that there was no guarantee he would be a regular this season, he allowed Lawless to leave to give him a chance to get first team football. A chance he has so far grasped with both hands. Whether he goes on toa great career then who knows, but good luck to the lad.
  15. I thought that was the best part about European games As to the game, on the balance of play St. Mirren probably deserved something from the game, but until the Ref lost the plot in the last 10 minutes I was pretty confident of holding on. The whole Hutch - Thompson - drop ball carry on was a display of such incompetence that I thought Ian Brines was in charge
  16. P GD Pts Hibernian 5 2 10 Ross County 5 2 9 Kilmarnock 5 3 8 Celtic 3 3 7 Dundee Utd 4 2 6 Hearts 3 2 5 Motherwell 3 1 5 St Mirren 3 1 4 Aberdeen 3 0 4 Inverness CT 4 -2 3 St Johnstone 5 -7 1 Dundee 5 -7 1 I'll take it Hibs,Ross County and Kilmarnock played their jokers today and doubled up to 6 points for a win! Made an arse of copying and pasting that then
  17. Actually, I don't watch very much football outside of 'Well games. English and European games are packed full of overpaid twats cheating each other and the paying public with their OTT antics,it leaves me totally bored. Give me a good honest full bloodied scrap on a muddy Fir Park pitch any day. I have no idea how good or bad Levante, whether we have a good chance to progress or none at all. I just know I'll be at FP for the home game. (And that, after going to Athens , I have no chance of talking the wife into another away trip.)

    Vs Hearts

    Aye, my brother in law, I was too busy jumping about like a maddie. Best goal celebration since Fitzpatrick at Easter Road.

    Kilmarnock

    Jennings, been very impressive since he started playing regularly. Protects the defence and links with the forwards, a complete midfield performance today.
  20. I think that the Sainsbury car park will be restricted on Match days, the Morrison's one certainly is. There is a big car park between the law courts and the ground, it is on the left as you approach Sainsbury's from Cadzow Street.
