  1. Lovely ending, great Superman dive from the Harry handsome. Well done Killie, well deserved. Hope Steve Clarke works miracles in his new job. Accies end up with a better record at Rugby Park than Sevco.
  2. I bet they'll show plenty of Saints fans in the pre-match build up though. They completely ignored the Accies support two years ago. T hey we're desperate for United to win but with Saints having a decent support they might be less biased this time. United were impressive last night but the ridiculous penalty turned the game. St Mirren are unbeaten in six and I think they'll edge it in two tight games 2-1 on aggregate.
  3. They had a shot cleared off the line today in the first half, I think that counts as a shot at goal. Another shot just went over and landed on the top of the net. Another couple went high or wide. Sorry that doesn't fit with your little conspiracy.
  4. It's our second win against them this season, did they lie down that time too?
  5. No chance, Rice was just after saying he wants to bring the age down. Expect well see a lot more of Reegan and Lewis Smith.
  6. Are we the only club in the Western world that doesn't have an awards do in May?
  7. Woods was receiving treatment immediately after we scored against Motherwell and hasn't featured since. I'm not sure if he's ever been dropped this season, he's had a couple of injuries. Fulton's timewasting was strange, as though we were happy with a draw.
  8. 500/1 for Accies to finish bottom. But will Dundee really lose ten in a row? After a good run at Dens, our recent record there is shocking. Dundee's only home win was 4-0 against us. I've seen enough crazy pick ups in form over the years, up here and down south ( Alloa's four wins in a row, Rochdale's amazing escape last season...Albion Rovers!!!) to not dismiss this possibility. St Mirren have already won at Fir Park when they were shite. They are now the form team in the bottom three. So if both results go against Accies, suddenly Dundee are buoyed and beat Livingston again and Accies face a St Mirren side in front of 5000 home fans. Yikes! It could be down to 27-24 going into the final day. St Mirren don't really care, they'd actually quite like Dundee to stay up for the extra finance. Accies fans turn out in their droves (1300) for the St Johnstone buttock clencher. Our bogey side going back about forty years. We've already had our win against them this season, we never get two. A draw is enough of course but an injury hit side slides to a 2-1 defeat while Dundee win by the same score in Paisley. Dundee finish eleventh on goal difference. And now I've said all that, it hasn't a hope in hell of happening...and I've just wasted a pound.
  9. He has six wins, the infamous Clyde game now counting as a win, so I'm guessing that should read 6 5 12.
  10. Kilgallon was a big miss. OK, he's been part of several thrashings but mostly away from home. Last three home games before yesterday, only two goals lost. Hope the injury isn't too bad. I think Ziggy plays better alongside him. Is "Canning's team would never have..." going to the stock response for the next few years. Maybe we could say Rice's team would never have won at Ibrox or won 3 -1 at Fir Park. For the record, I'm glad we made the change but let's move on.
  11. Love the goalkeeping experts on here who think the Queens keeper should have sprinted six yards in the blink of an eye, jumped and caught or punched that outswinging cross. Well done County.
  12. It's not like the flagship, national ten o'clock news is never delayed or moved to another channel to accommodate an over-running sporting event. Absolutely shocking.
  13. What did he say? Just caught him in "what am I like" mode.
  14. It's McNeill not McNeil. Least you can do is spell a legend's name correctly.
  15. I did not know that. Still no excuse for Celtic fans spelling it "McNeil".
  16. Very sad to hear this, but maybe a blessing as it must be horrible having that damned disease. Always came across as a real gentleman. i know it's pedantic, but Celtic's twitter and many others have spelled Caesar incorrectly. Some Celtic fans even get his surname wrong.
  17. Careful now! Mr Harvey could pin this up on the dressing room wall next Saturday. Stranger things have happened, they did beat Peterhead after all.
  18. It's The National. If it's not Celtic and Rangers they really don't give a shit.
  19. Congrats Arbroath, well deserved. Backed you pre-season and just waiting on a couple of teams, 99.9% certain for nice wee return. Miss my trips to Gayfield, you never know, could still be going there next season!
  20. Cheers, I'll let them off with that one. Maybe I don't notice it so much in programmes that have plenty of content.
  21. Back in 2012, a few of us contributed some new features to the programme. We kept waiting for them to be used; finally they were included for the last match of the season. It made it so much better but the sales would have been poor as usual as nobody knew it was going to be any better than the usual dross. I've given up on it and tend to only buy one a season as a record of how appalling it is! It seems to be basically two people producing it and one of them has many other tasks to do. I dont know why they can't get some more professional help with it.
  22. Some of these programmes by the smaller clubs, many of them non-league, put Accies' efforts to shame, and that's just the covers. Many years ago, Accies were up there with the best in the land. Now they must surely be the very worst. The same cover design now for three season, page after page of adverts (seven pages in a row in the one I have in front of me), very little on the excellent youth teams that they are usually not shy to brag about. An On This Day in Scottish Football feature that has wasted space for what seems like decades now. A recent banal example " 1956 Berwick Rangers signed full back Harry Airlie from Seaton Delaval". This one has four full pages of this guff, although it was a double issue at £2.50. They also waste half a page on an Unacceptable Conduct warning, which used to be a full page. Does any other programme do this? And what sort of effort is it where the final four pages are all adverts?
  23. Speculate to accumulate...Just not in the case of John Gemmell.
  24. You also had £82,500 x 2 from televised cup games (if that's still the amount, doesn't seem to have changed in years). Built a new terrace which should have paid for itself with the large supports of Dunfermline, Ayr, Airdrie etc. It just seems to be catastrophic mismanagement and the ever changing board can't help matters.
