  1. While disappointing, the result is a bit of an outlier. We really don't lose that badly all that often, and in my mind this result is the yin to the yang of the Aberdeen comeback. Shame about the GD but we play Motherwell next game while they are at Hearts. I'd say our game is mildly easier, although not by much, but it's just as likely that we could swap places by this time next week.
  2. Yes, you did swallow it, and quickly too. I'm impressed how quickly you were ensnared. You really should have seen the "imo" and realised you were walking into bait. How's the battle for 10th going? I hear you finally won a league game. I'm proud of you lads, well done.
  3. Aberdeen fans all over St Mirren threads, it's pretty embarrassing at this point imo.
  4. I'll not lie, this did not go as I had hoped. This result just shows you the classic highs and lows of being a provincial club. We have a brilliant comeback against Aberdeen, Aberdeen then beat Killie in the cup, then Killie have a brilliant comeback against us. You just have to laugh at the way things work out. Ultimately, the only real disappointment is the goal difference, a few weeks ago, we were just behind Killie in 4th, the other week we jumped ahead of them, and now we've fallen behind. They have a harder game than us next league fixture so it's possible next week we will see the situation reverse. Does make you wonder if Killie would have preferred the cup win than this league one. Got to say, I did have a laugh at people taking a dig on social media at Robinson's line up, who were then left eating their words come half time only for them to suddenly flip-flop back to hating again.
  5. I'll not lie, this is going better than I hoped. I was expecting a close affair, with only a goal separating us at the 90. To be two goals up, one from Dunne(!) is certainly pleasant. Calm yourself, lots to play for yet, all this game changes is we have a slightly better chance of getting top 6.
  6. You've missed the point, it's that specific reference. It's an awful film, starring a racist, that is embarrassingly jingoistic while being historically inaccurate.
  7. Is it? Is it really? A previous long-term employee being discussed when the position is available? Ok, then, I'll trust you... I mean you must surely know what Cormack is going to do, so why not let us know the name of your manager now. Why wait for it to be officially announced?
  8. The lad was with you for 8 years, and many would consider that tenure 'more successful' than those who have followed. He's currently leading a team that not only sits above you in the league, but you've failed to beat this season. Yet it's strange and doesn't make sense when he's linked? What are you expecting here? Ferguson to come out of retirement and lead you back to the glory days? I'm not saying that he will get the job, I'm saying he is probably the top domestic target, along with Robinson and/or a returning McInnes, assuming Clement, Rodgers and Naismith are well out of your price range. That said, I admire you relying on Cormack making an 'unstrange' appointment and one that 'makes logical sense'... you know, like the last one.
  9. No, I'm talking shit, because I was sure the Viking game they played in was "last century" - in my mind it was mid 90s. It was literally at the start of this century. I tell you, age really fucks with your memory
  10. Entschuldigung fur mein mangelndes wissen.. (yes, I double checked on Google Translate but my first attempt at it was not far wrong!) I've travelled all over Europe and certainly encountered that sort of sentiment without people realising they are referencing an entirely fictional Hollywood film (starring a racist wee piece of shit) rather than history. It's no surprise Germany is part of that. It's a bit of a constant bug bear of mine when abroad and it's never easy explaining in a foreign language why something is bad. I mean at it's (brave)heart, it's quite a flattering image really. The tenacious underdogs fighting against a foe invading their land, it's just a shame it's total horseshit.
  11. He's been with Dundee for just over 6 months, he was at Aberdeen for nigh on eight years. I mean I get the point you are making, but 8 years is a long time. He also said this when joining you, "One of the things I've picked up in my career ... is go with your gut, and the gut feeling for this one feels right." which suggests he could choose Aberdeen over you simply for the challenge, as he might have a "gut feeling" that he is the man to fix the problems that have happened after he left them. If I was Cormack and I was looking around for the best manager at the cheapest price, then Docherty probably doesn't fit into that category because I cannot believe Nelms (or whoever is running Dundee now) would offer up Docherty on the cheap. Not sure of his contract but I can't believe Dundee only tied him down to one year. That is the only reason I can see Cormack not going for Docherty.
  12. To be fair, I'd be pissed at that question too. Tell you what Fritz, I'll don the kilt and shout some nonsense on a hillside, when you lot all wear Boss designed uniforms and march across the Sudetenlang. How do you like pathetic national tropes now, Fritz? Not so good, aye?
  13. My guess is a schmoke and a pancake. As for the game.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ..could go either way. Like us, their best performances come at home, and like them our worst performances are away. They've got a bit of an advantage in recent head to heads, and in McInnes you have a manager who has constantly done well against us (St Johnstone, Aberdeen and now Killie) even though our sides have changed drastically over that period of time. That said, if we aren't to make it, then I certainly don't begrudge Killie from doing so. Sure, their club crest has the red hand of Ulster on it, and they do like so copy Rangers songs, but in general I don't mind Killie at all. One minor nit-pick and it's nothing to do with the teams but the BBC write up, their claim of: "With the three teams above these two in the table all in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, the chances are very good that fifth will offer up Europe, an arena where St Mirren last played in 1987 and Killie have been just twice this century." Anyone else see the error there? Ignore the above, I'm talking shit.
