Fixed that for you

As Louis said “it’s a man’s game”! Man up snowflakes

Fair enough point if you're basing it on your form over this whole season but my exact words were "Hearts current form could see them up there". My point, which I maybe didn't put forward particularly well, wasn't that for non OF teams would get an more an advantage playing Ayr or Morton twice a season than OF teams. It was that non OF teams could, potentially only drop say 2, 3 or 4 points (maximum of 6 rather than 12) against the one of OF by only playing them twice, especially if one of them are in bad form and you actually had a go at them. You're far less likely to drop as many points to Morton and Ayr twice than Rangers and Celtic 4 times. Let me get this right, you would rather play the OF 8 times a season, likely losing all of them in a normal situation, rather than playing against smaller teams who you would likely beat instead? Yes I know that also means 4 games against Hibs, which is exciting for you guys, but no one else outside your fan base gives a shit. With the exception of maybe Aberdeen, I wouldn't class any of your other fixtures as "big". Sorry to tell you this but unfortunately due to our game being marketed but utterly incompetent arseholes, there's really only 4 big games a season. And as for meaningless games, have you looked at the league table recently? You guys have sewn up 3rd, the top and bottom 6 are pretty much a given barring Aberdeen and Hibs actually start playing football again or Dundee and St Mirren shit the bed, and only a miracle of biblical proportions is saving either Livi or Ross County. We're already well into meaningless territory. But sure, you guys keep doing the same thing and expect different results, think Einstein had a quote about that. Who knows, maybe the old firm will inexplicably get bored with winning, become charitable and decide splitting money evenly with everyone is the best idea and that gap between 2nd and 3rd magically shortens. Meanwhile I'll keep watching my wee team in an actual league that's entertaining and has some real drama and excitement.

In my own humble opinion there's only 2 real ways Scottish football becomes more competitive: 1. The OF f**k off to another league (which will never happen) Or 2. We bin this everyone play each other 4 times a season nonsense and increase the league size which is far more likely and would genuinely make things more interesting. You just have to look at the Premiership right now. Rangers have the upper hand in the league for now but still have to play Celtic twice which could turn things around and leave Rangers 4 points adrift. Can you imagine how more exciting everything would be knowing that there was only 1 more OF game in the season? It would also give added importance to just about every fixture in future seasons. Title battles could end up with a 3rd team involved (Hearts current form could see them up there). Battles for European spots and relegation have added drama as teams in those positions only have 2 matches to see each other off. It would also certainly have a positive effect on attendances. Someone noted earlier some Championship games are now higher attended than some Premiership games including ones involving the OF ffs, so the reliance on OF away attendance is clearly on the decline.

Aye saw that this morning and had a wee chuckle. He's right about the seeding though, it dilutes the magic/romance/whatever of cup competition. Unfortunately sponsors and tv companies don't want to see the old firm play each other in last 32 or last 16 stages

Compared to where we were pre-season last year, where we were looking down the back of sofas for spare change, we'll definitely have a bigger budget to work with thanks to the Dalrada sponsorship which didn't come into play until November last year I think.

Have you seriously just compared homeless Clyde playing at half a stadium to you guys getting Hampden when Lesser is ready and supposedly fine?! FFS get a grip

Ooft fair enough that’s a damning stat for a team with Hearts’ budget

What were his other bad runs?! His two previous seasons were a promotion and then a 3rd place finish by a country mile ffs! Aye mangers that spout sound bites about the next level are cringe but wtaf do non old firm teams expect these days? Finishing 3rd is the absolute best you’ll achieve, (maybe a cup if you’re lucky) unfortunately you’ll always have the odd season with a dip in form, if that starts looking like heading to a relegation battle then yeah bag the manager. To sack a manger that’s had you 3rd all season then suffered a bad dip in form which can always happen is just embarrassing imo

Yeah fair enough, as I said in another reply I’ve not seen so enough to honestly give a full opinion. Getting sacked for being 4th instead of 3rd just seems harsh as f**k! If he had been kept on though did you see next season being a relegation battle?

I’ll be honest I’ve not watched enough of your games to make an honest assessment I’m just commenting on the current league status. I know you could easily drop to 5th by next week but have performances actually been that bad?! It sets a precedent, can you’s really afford to be sacking a manager every time you’re on a poor run? Especially when you’re going to finish top 6 regardless?

Sacked for sitting 4th before the split instead of 3rd is fucking mental regardless of the recent run! Unless you think that form is going to continue into the next season and result in bonifide relegation material then fair enough but imo it seems like the board heard ott fan reactions yesterday and utterly shat it! Can’t help but think some other usual merry-go-round name will be in charge and you’ll be in the same position next season regardless.

just watched those highlights and how can anyone in their right mind think that wasn't a penalty?! The ICT defender flicks his arm at the ball on the decent from a jump ffs so any chat about arms being out to aid his jump is null and void!! Great result though, I always fear the worst for Morton when we head up there. Echo others thoughts, just get a half decent striker in and we should be fine this season!

Me and a couple of mates took in the Queens Park Falkirk game on Saturday and going by what I saw, Dunfermline should, over the two games, get through comfortably. The game at Firhill won't be pretty though as that pitch was horrendous, ball bobbling all over the place and contributed to the game being a shitefest!
