Sorry to hear that. It will be 11 years ago next month when my father died at home on the Saturday morning before the last game of the season (a dead rubber away against Forfar, if I remember right). I was due to be on the team bus (to video the game) but obviously didn't make it. No idea what the score was even! It was my dad who took me to games starting in the early '80s. Last games of the season are now especially poignant.

I would give it a whirl. There is only one map I thought was a real chore to get through and it was a bit into the story. YMMV Thanks for the replies but the highlighted stuff is what I cannot be bothered with (and I realise it a classic etc.). Some games just pass you by.

I bought Balatro this week and it is terrific (Luck Be A Landlord is also good but slighter). It has interrupted me playing Phantom Doctrine which I bought a few years ago and never got into but have been enjoying quite a bit recently. It's an XCOM2-like that prioritises stealth over shooting. Pretty good. I really should go back and give XCOM2 another whirl but I remember liking playing the levels but could not get into the between stages stuff.

This is the crux of it. If you are brutal to watch, you better be winning most weeks. I think Scott Brown will keep us up (no small feat considering the nick of the squad) and I am looking forward to seeing what we do in the summer. Still plenty of deadwood going to be on the books next year but you only need 2/3 galvanising players to make a big difference in this league.

A Wild Sheep Chase is one of my few occasional re-reads. Fantastic.

I didn't think I could be tempted to the QP game but here I am. Well done to the board for a bold appointment.

4 months (17 games) is an awful lot of time to stagger on. Fans can be fickle - none more so than myself - and it has been very easy to get out the way of going to the football regularly. They must have sold enough season tickets this year to gamble that serving up the same tired old shite (with a side of corporate bullshit) at home will suffice - minimal effort required. It might work. Scrape survival, sell the new stand/head coach combo and sell more season tickets. It is plausible but it is a gamble and if it fails the owner and others responsible deserve all the opprobrium they receive.

Yep, add in a Head Coach and you have the spiderman gif. The DoF attempted to explain it at the start of the season and no-one is any the wiser. Almost as if it was designed that way.

No one is "shouted down" on here - love to see an example, let alone "immediately". All I have read on here to justify a "glass half full attitude" is the supposed off-field success. I assume that means the building works because I don't see much else.

You can legitimately want Bullen gone and have no idea who should replace him. I am in that camp. There will be many applicants, I would roll the dice. I doubt the owner/DoF want the hassle. As long as we stay in the Championship for the opening of the new stand they will probably be happy. Is it good enough? The owner seems to be gambling that people will buy season tickets regardless of what is served up on the pitch. He may be right.

Jesus wept. Not this old saw. You get rid of the current Head Coach and then pick* one from the many applicants. * Half-time draw tombola may be used.

Club Apologist Bingo: Dig at own fans - Check ("you and your wee gang") Hint at being ITK - Check ("we are 5th or 6th best resourced") Allusions to the mythical Plan - Check ("try to see the bigger picture... because there is one") Not bad in a single paragraph. Only need a couple more for a full house!

Fair enough. I certainly wasn't defending Bullen . Just echoing the previous comments about Bullen's poor team selections/subs/game management.

Bryden showed on Tuesday night what his best contribution can be at this level - inject an element of chaos and energy up front for a short time. It rarely works but did on Tuesday and he was unlucky not to score. I didn't see the game today so can't comment on it. We all know Bullen loves repeating what he thinks worked in the last match regardless of opposition/scoreline/other factors.

McAllister loved a red card against us. I don't think I ever saw him have a good game (despite his scoring record). Very enjoyable. I probably have the Falkingham gif on a hard drive somewhere but not readily to hand. In lieu of that my favourite Jamie Adams gif and favourite Ayr v Dunfermline one:
