Ok mate.

Sometimes you have to hold your hands up: if we had somehow managed to scramble to 11th that season (and I'm not suggesting it was close; we were fucking awful), there's no way we were doing to Sevco what you did. Occasionally there's a grand plan and you just have to go with it.

Why would knowledge of Aberdeen's relative fame influence St Mirren's recruitment policies? I was being facetious in my delivery, but my point stands: Aberdeen isn't a name in the pool of managers you're trying to fish in. The guys old enough to remember you being a force are mad old c***s like Warnock. It has to be tough for your board, pretending the guy you eventually get in is the one you wanted.

It's a fucker having to try to recruit managers who are now too young to remember Aberdeen being Famous.

Piers Morgan/Meghan Markle vibes.

Holy shit, hadn't realised we'd signed him from you. #classic Edit: sorry, posted this without scrolling down and hadn't seen @djchapsticks had covered this off.

Point of order: the stand decision predated the sixth place. Some might argue it was a contributing factor.

Looks like he's brazened it out, so fair play, but that is such a cross

Holy shit it's an absolute pumping. Killie have been better than us across the season, so you you have to say they deserve fourth, but fucking hell what a disastrous half of football.

Stuck a tenner on Killie to win at 2-2, cashed out for £26 two minutes later. What a shambles

Injured.

We've got no other options at RWB, CBM has made himself first choice, and then it's a straight choice between MOH and Kwon. I'll trust the manager but the selection is hardly a disaster.

And tonight. Well, someone's getting ridden pretty fucking hard, at least.

"1st" wasn't necessary there: it makes the sentence tautological.

I'm quite surprised to see how many Hearts fans are in favour of a cheeky wee lie-down here.

Can you be there AND be square? I'm asking for Brad Lyons.

It's been said several times: Fotheringham is the most Dundeeish appointment I can imagine. (FWIW I can't imagine Dons going for Doc either so you should be good for a while.)

Does anyone know any good lines about Jesus and crosses?

So extreme is his no-nonsense approach that it has circled right back round and turned into nonsense. Like Chapsticks says, it feels inevitable he's getting a job here eventually. No chance it's Aberdeen but he really does have Dundee written all over him.

You'd have to pay someone a fucking fortune to get them to say Neil Warnock was the best person for the job.

That's fair. He never seemed to be an especially clean striker of the ball. I made the point elsewhere that, while he was an ok option off the bench, he was usually a very slightly different version of what he was replacing. Whereas someone like Olusanya is a total wildcard that has the potential to wreak absolute havoc.

It's nice that you can find a positive slant to surviving and winning the cup, tbh.

Funny how you so rarely hear the actually decent managers talking about how good they are as managers, yet the likes of Alan Stubbs, Lee Johnson and whoever this c**t is won't seem to shut up about it.

"A huge part of the club going forward." What absolute nonsense once you realise that a) the manager of any team is a huge part of that club and b) going forward just means 'from now'.
