Maybe if Neil was frustrated by seeing his strikers miss sitters (which they've done all season) he shouldn't have waited until the last day of the transfer window to try and address this. Every man and their dog could see we needed another striker (arguably two) and we did practically f**k all about it. That's criminal.

I remember the BBC reporting that Hibs had lost 7-0 at home to Malmo in Europe when it was the mob from Malta. Right?

That's what I find particularly galling. And I was disheartened (and fairly disgusted) by some of the shouts from those in the crowd today, and reading comments made later online. Yes, it's been a disappointing season, and performances - especially at home - have generally been poor. The stats and trends make for grim reading as we move into the final months of the campaign. We can pick apart decisions made by the manager, the approach of the chairman, or players failing to take responsibility and show leadership on the pitch. All of those points are valid and have likely combined to leave us in the position we are now. And it's extremely concerning. But there seems to be an air of entitlement within some people. Belittling the successes of recent years due to a perceived slight on the style of play, or the apparent weakness of larger clubs during that time. Here's the thing. Dundee, Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock, St. Mirren, Falkirk etc haven't finished 6th-4th-4th-4th in consecutive seasons, enjoyed European nights, and won the Scottish Cup. Those are equivalent clubs with St. Johnstone, and their supporters haven't seen a sustained period of success like that for generations. We have. And I find it astonishing that individuals wish to discredit what has been achieved previously, just because it hasn't worked out this year. Tommy Wright deserves better. He's earned that right. Frankly, with a core home support of 2,500 home fans turning up regularly for the league matches, what can people really expect when it comes to player recruitment and attempting to compete with the likes of Hearts and Hibs, or even Motherwell and Kilmarnock. The people of Perth didn't adequately support the club during the good times, but they've sharpened their knives as soon as it turned sour. Frustration and disappointment has crossed into vitriol. And I find that harder to swallow than the struggles we've had in recent months.

Which kind are you, Kev?

The signing of Willis Furtado really seems to have swung the momentum of the season back in our favour. The difference in having him up front instead of Spence is absolutely massive. That’s not to say that I don’t think Spence has done OK - he has - but the physicality of Willis has definitely made us a far more menacing attacking prospect. Obviously he’s scored a few goals so he’s clearly dangerous, but the thing i’ve been most impressed with is how the ball sticks when it’s played up to him. He’s got a great touch and the strength to hold off defenders which means we can get far higher up the pitch and the midfielders beyond the strikers, as shown in Herron’s first goal against Albion Rovers. His anticipation of the second ball also helps us keep pressure on the opposition high up the pitch, generally forcing mistakes which have led to goals. He’s made a big difference to the way we play. Really strange situation to have Buchanan and Spence, who were so prolific in this league just last season, probably not part of our current best XI.

It's a nonsense argument that has somehow become accepted among fans, much like how so many English fans have swallowed the shite about how survival in the EPL is more important than winning the FA Cup

As much as i have a great deal of time for the Fife our last visit there at new year the "amateur" feel around the club was prevailant ,from the stewarding and general movement around the club it came across as being run by dinosaurs from the seventies. Judging by the standards of your TV coverage there are some talented "young" individuals around. You need to harness young energetic professionals to kick start the club in the right direction. Sometimes club legends can hold you back.....but im just an auld linolicker....best of luck for the rest of the season apart from Starkies of course.

I drunkenly spoke to John McGinn in Malones last night. He used to be a Celtic season ticket holder, scoring at Ibrox is just as great as we all imagine it to be, and he’s in no rush to leave Hibs mainly because he loves Edinburgh. He’s also not joining Aberdeen despite me asking him to. That is all.

Stuck a wee daft bet on and fell asleep earlier, woke up to it coming in. 2.5k winnings this season which is my best ever

Problem for me hasn't been Spence and Buchanan as players, it's been the role they have been asked to do. Reality is that Furtado is an genuine out ball and can make possession stick at the top end of the park bringing the midfielders into play. Would have loved to see Callachan play in that system. That said, it's surprising Spence is the one to go given his decent form not too long ago.

A good day of betting

Gordon Smith confirming that he's an absolute p***k by saying that when he was at the SFA he tried to get B Teams of the bigger teams in the 'lower leagues' (plural) and says it would have been beneficial for teams in the lower leagues. Of course the lower league teams told him 'absolutely not', so he sneakily implied that they did so solely out of self interest, and it was implied that this self interest was short sighted. He said this utterly without irony, as if such proposals weren't all about self interest and were hugely short sighted for the sides who would have 'B Teams'. Bizarrely he then said he was against 'colt' sides. This is what we're up against. This man was in charge of the SFA.

There’s really no need for the commentators at the Winter Olympics to keep telling me that it’s cold.

Going overboard is the nature of things. Six weeks ago the same people calling for Wright's head were probably the most fearful of him leaving for the NI job. And those shouting abuse at MacLean and Anderson are from the same subset of fans who thought them beyond criticism a few months back. It happens everywhere, to every team. But though those people might be loud, they're not the vast majority of our support, who I think believe that while Tommy has made mistakes, he deserves our patience when it isn't going well, and that he has the right to try to see us out of it. And most of our fans neither think Anderson or Macca are not desperate excuses for footballers nor worldbeaters, but simply the limited players we have for the rest of the season. And the only way to get the best out of them is to give them our backing when they play.

McCann's low key heads gone post-match was quite interesting. The whole "I can't put the ball in the net for them" line overlooks the fact that they're his signings. We're into February and his #9 still hasn't scored a goal from open play, yet McCann's surprised that's another game passed where Moussa's failed to score and digging him out publicly. I get that he took responsibility for the defeat against County but it seems like teams are completely fine with letting Dundee create chances because their conversion rate is so poor. Maybe Murray will fix that IDK. Swello made a comparison in the match thread between Dundee just now and us under Gannon where the only plan we had was to play it out from the back, whether the players were suited to it or not we had no plan B. Intitally it was fine, we signed good players (Jennings, Humphrey, Coke, Ruddy, Jutkiewitcz etc) we pumped an Albanian side 8-1 in the Europa League qualifiers and only lost 1 of our opening 13 league matches (drew an absolute shitload but still...) then the wheels came off, opposition managers worked us out and Gannon lost his mind whilst completely alienating the senior pros and the dressing room as a whole. While Dundee are probably nowhere near in as extreme a position, it doesn't seem that far off the mark to say that other teams have worked them out. Given the situation Dundee are in you'd think you'd need a dressing room pulling together in the same direction and actually believe in what the manager's saying but this season you've had McCann fall out with Bain (fair enough, he seems a c**t), Haber, Allan was reportedly unhappy and now the Dundee internet seems to be suggesting El Bahktaoui's taken the huff (again, no great loss unless you're looking for someone to ping 12 shots a game over the bar from 30 yards). On top of that you've got Parish apologising publicly to fans in the stands post-match while O'Dea just looks uncomfortable with what he's being asked to do. On top of all that you've got McCann arguing with fans in the stands. Ultimately you'll be fine this season because...Accies but from an outsiders point of view it all seems a bit fractured.

Do you have any tinned rice pudding? It'll do just as good a job if you pop it in the tin

A team having another teams club shop at their own stadium is probably unusual. Can't believe the St Mirren fans were ok with it.

I see that Ruth "No Surrender" Davidson was unavailable for comment on the leaked Brexit papers which estimate a similar negative impact from leaving the EU, SM etc. as the SG analysis. She was however available to call into Forth One to have a chat about baking. There's your strong opposition right there. Talk about the biggest issue facing the country? Nah. Talk about my favourite cake to make? Yeah I'm up for that.

He probably wanted to go back to prison if that was the case......

Tbh no-one actually gives a f**k what the leagues are called. Legislators made fools of themselves trying to copy the English League names without realising it made no sense up here. So SPFL, SPL, SFL who gives a.........

Get the whiskas in the bowl. Thank you.

Quite amusing tin-pottery from the announcer at Livi today, as they announced the player being substituted off's sponsor over the public address. That's quite tin pot in itself tbh, but when the player replacing him is announced along with "sponsorship still available" it takes it to another level...

I don't agree but get that some folk may want Wright out. What I can't get my head around is the startling lack of respect being shown to our most successful ever manager in the way it is being put across. Tommy Wright should never be told to "get to f**k" for example. And that's before starting on those belittling his achievements.

Moussa, only the four chances today. He should be binned, Id rather start with ten men.

Charlie and Sam having a rest after a long tiring day. Squirrel not giving a f**k.... he actually used to jump up at the door to get our attention to bring him nuts.... of course we obliged.

Then why didn't you? There is literally no-one and nothing stopping you from doing so, so batter on and upload it. I'm guessing you haven't done so because in reality, you're a total shitebag who wants to come across the big man by saying what you're going to do. In reality, you're clearly not going to upload it because you fucking know what will happen. So don't sit behind your keyboard and call other folk keyboard warriors when the only person in this thread who has threatened to do something and not backed it up with action is you. Now, be a man of your word, post the fucking picture and let us all rejoice as you're unceremoniously turfed off the site for good for posting an unverified picture of someone who likely isn't Jon Venables, or put your hands up and admit you've made a rip-roaring c**t of yourself by coming across with these empty threats that are a load of shite, then sit the f**k down and shut the f**k up, you mouth-breathing numbskull.
