This is hard I don’t think I really appreciated how hard it is to beat an addiction. I’m doing ok but I’m not going to lie this is possibly the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do. I’m not a saint, I’m not perfect, I am weak, but I will try. Thank you.

This morning we said goodbye to wee Keira, 13 years old and had a womb infection we didn't know about, been up since 3:30am this morning with her in a wee shawl, bleeding from her back end. She's seen 2 kids come into the household under her watch and showed them nothing but love and protection. We will miss her.

Montrose celebrating our equaliser is one of the most tinpot things I've heard.

Wow! Thanks guys. I’m actually off to have sober fun bowling with some of my fellow recoverees

Anyone who thinks we could negotiate a better deal with the US, China or India without the leverage the market of the EU offers is a fucking moron.

We had the same intentions. Now the routine is that when I get up in the morning (I’m the early riser in the house), Renton gets out of his bed and goes upstairs and gets under the covers for a couple more hours.

Started with intentions of not allowing Ruby (now 5 months old) up on the couch but it quickly became impossible. She loves sitting up there watching out the window. Not that there's much to see as we live on a fairly quiet road.

I tell you what, I have had a lot of time to sit and think about this season and what a whirlwind it has been so far. Started a bit flat as we gave everyone a 3/4 game head start. However we have managed to beat 4 full time teams this season. (Morton, Queen of the South, Partick and Raith) Of which we managed to beat raith twice! And been unlucky in other two games against them this season. We got two trips to Dublin (some of us) and had a brilliant time fans and players when across there! We got to the semi final of the irn bru cup and got a trip up to Dingwall where we played the winners [emoji85] Also managed a class run in the Scottish cup getting further than we have in years. I really really hope we manage to keep ourselves in the play offs, where we have sat for most of the season, and cap off a brilliant season exceptionally. Anything that happens in the play offs would be a bonus! #monthefife

Haven’t seen much evidence recently to back that assertion.

Anyone who puts any blame on the EU for this entirely self inflicted clusterfuck of a situation probably gets headaches when thinking.

I was on anti depressants for about 6 years on and off and they did nothing for me other than help me sleep. I had to change my whole approach to life, health, booze and everything. It’s hard but I’m better than I ever thought I could be. Just have to find what it is that’s holding you down, or at least I did. I promise it will happen for you if you stick it out.

Well folks, the introduction of a new quiz AND a MEGALEAGUE certainly has put the cat among the pigeons. There's a new name on the Premiership trophy - we just don't know who it is yet. Teams who previously romped the Aussie quiz have been left with their arses in the air (I've made up that phrase in case you're wondering) and the scores are more bunched together then penguins during a chilly snap. Two teams that have never experienced the sweet sweet taste of gold are tied for first place. Well done Adamski and Helpma ... I'll deal with yous in a minute (that sounds vaguely threatening). The top 12 teams will go into the Premiershit next season and the next 12 teams go into the SWL (Stealers Wheel League). Welcome to newcomer @MixuFixit - who finds himself in a play-off with league stalwart Alang1993 for the last SWL spot. Every other c**t goes into the newly renamed Bully Wee Villa Memorial Beazer Homes League (BWVMBHL is its new catchy abbreviation) .. BWV may not be participating in the league any more, but he'll always remain rooted to the bottom of the bottom league as a stark reminder of what happens when you choose hos before bros colleagues before leagues. So it's over to the "Hand of the King" SlipperyP to pose a play-off question for the title and the SWL place. Normal leagues will resume Monday.

Tbh, ever since I saw those away kits, I knew this would be a season to forget.

I hope both of you had a good day.

Just thinking about this in the walk up to the stadium. I've been coming to games for nearly 10 years now. In that time we've been top of the league for 4 days and we've gone from the Premier league to the bottom of the Championship. We've had seven managers, three Chairmen (I think) and probably well into three figures with players. Yes we've had cup runs but that's a fucking awful record for a club that has over 4000 people pumping money into it every week. Something is very wrong here

I'm not going to take lessons from someone who 1) Changes his mind every 5 minutes to troll on here 2) Thinks the US, China and India will give an independent UK better trading terms than they give to the entire EU 3) Supports St Mirren

It’s easy to scapegoat individual players. Whatever Gomis’ failings he shouldn’t be carrying the can for Neilson’s ineptitude.

Good on you. I’ve had sober periods before but they were no more than a period of whetting the appetite for when I could get back on it. I found Russell Brand’s recovery book pretty helpful (got it as an audiobook) as it’s basicslly the 12 steps but in his words. 9 months dry now but I had to just work that out as I’ve stopped counting the days and weeks now. It’s just who I am now and when triggers occur - eg in the supermarket and come to the booze aisle - I just remind myself that it’s not for me and would bring no good. Making an effort to be happier and letting go of resentments has made a huge difference too. Best of luck with it all. I’m sure you will keep on the right path.

Personally I think it’s great. Younger fans clubbing together, buying drums etc . Spending time / money making flags and banners and having a blast supporting their local team and winding up opposition ... what’s not to like ? We were all young and rebellious once ... and I for one hope I’m never too much of an old killjoy to not appreciate them .

My floor was spotless five minutes before this photo was taken. Went to make dinner and wondered why then hadn’t followed:

Did someone say SUPERLEAGUE rollover?!

To be fair it was a 93rd minute equaliser for us at which point Montrose fans would have known there was nothing they were getting from their game. Next best thing is poking fun at your rivals.

f**k them then - it's my club regardless of if we're playing in the Premiership or the East of Scotland league.

McKinnon has made some poor decisions and has been far too negative in many games, but 95% of the blame still sits with Hartley, that c**t of a "scout" and the two bellends who gave them carte blanche to sign a squad of dug shite. Campbell and Lang are c***s.

Hasnt seen total recall type post.

If he had any integrity he will resign. Totally out his depth and clueless.

Does it yank out your broadband cable if St Mirren lose?

Why exactly? We'd be trading with USA/China/India on the same terms that the rest of the EU is, which seems to work just fine for Norway and Switzerland. The argument from Brexity types is that USA/China/India are for some reason going to bend over and give us BETTER trading terms than they give the EU trading bloc? That seems like utter pie in the sky nonsense to me.

I’ve been there mate, right down to the thoughts that my wife would be better off if I wasn’t here anymore. That it would hurt her short term but long term she’d be better off. It’s not true, it’s never true. Hang in there mate. It will get better. If you want to PM about anything go for it. I was where you are 6 months ago.

Woo. Another 5-10 seconds off my Parkrun PB (waiting for the official results) although it was at Springburn, which feels like cheating a bit.

Higgins has done fine in the time he has been with us, I don't think he has had a bad game BUT I can't help but feel that his inclusion has had a bit of a knock-on effect within the side, with other players being shifted and moved about to accommodate him, Daryll Meggatt, possibly our PotY at CH/Sweeper out to LB, Pat Slattery having his best ever season for us at LB move into midfield or dropped and so forth!!! He's still obviously a good and competent player at League One level but it seems arguable that we brought in a player for a position that we perhaps didn't need cover in!!! But in saying that if he's being released by Ayr we'll probably sign him!!!

seasons?

Wanted up on the couch.

Ryan McGowan isn't as good a CH as either Darren O'Dea or Gensy. Gensy makes more clangers admittedly, but I was consistently annoyed that McGowan was struggling in the air when up against Greg Stewart. He's static and regularly torn apart. I'm not trying to say O'Dea or Kusunga are great because they both aren't good enough for a Premier team (Kusunga could be if he didn't have a but of the Gomis about him) but McGowan hasn't been an improvement and he's weak as hell for a CH. Speaking of CH's, what I'd do for a CH partnership of Thomas Konrad/James McPake/ Kostadin Gadzhalov right now.

Small Faces : My Mind's Eye

As a fan, I feel inclined to disagree. All we've done all season is show up and took the garbage we've been presented with. No wonder nobody showed up today.

Considering the amount of time he was out with his head exploding this is a pretty good landmark. https://twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/1114574739740164096?s=20

The only positive I'm taking from that defeat is I think it'll force McKinnon's hand to change the style and go for it. What really annoys me is McKinnon kept saying before January that he was only playing that style of football because that's all he could with that squad. He's since signed a whole new group including 3 strikers and we're still playing a similar style

For the first time in this appalling season I now genuinely think we are going down. Scunnered.

Mate the guys and the hospitality is first class they have no a bad team but that is a soulless place to play football , no atmosphere whatsoever

Baby Grace is here again along with innumerable others. Mayhem, quite frankly.

He's ripping the pish right oot o you boys.

Congratulations to Largs Thistle on reaching this season’s Scottish junior cup final. They thoroughly deserved their place in the final. And (no disrespect to Auchinleck) but I hope Largs go on and lift the trophy.

Too busy with citing Rangers players and mangement, in fact they might need a second compliance officer just to deal with Rangers

Watching Div’s dog This weekend. Matches new furniture!

A big hello to Ralphies_Chip
