Any idea how many Alloa have sold?

One of the only good things about being totally rancid for years was it was so much easier to go for a pie and a pish in the stadium than it has been recently. The trade-offs of success I suppose…

At the stage of genuine bemusement that the TV cameras in Scotland can broadcast a Championship game with 1,200 people and get all “we’re very sorry if the language has offended you” when some old boy goes “f**k sake, ref”, but 25,000 people bellow out about being up to theirs knees …….. and everyone just pretends like it doesn’t happen.

Glasgow a no-go zone on 25th May.

Hearts don’t lie to down to Rangers challenge (impossible)

Nesbitt is (quite rightly) getting a lot of praise because he’s turning up in moments / games that in the last two years he would have disappeared in. The problem he had was that he’d have a couple of really good games and then go completely off it for 3 or 4 afterwards; I think consistency is where a lot of people questioned him previously, including me. This season he’s been incredibly consistent, while adding a considerable chunk of end product to his game too. Absolutely fair play to him.

also how much was that ref choking for Kelty to score

The majority of the fans were excellent today - second half spell in particular with both stands singing the Navy Blue clearly gave the team a little boost.

Tait MOTM for me, thought he was immense and for a player on loan he clearly fucking loves the Navy Blue

Just when you think you’ve seen the worst ref this level has to offer, there’s always another one

He’s not died boys

‘Swerve and dribble’ is going to be the new ‘it’s the councils fault’ isn’t it

I agree with both of your points wholeheartedly; it's clear for most what he adds to the team and why he's in it. I'm not looking to dispute that whatsover. Where my concern lies is that we've created a barrowload of chances this season, and with that he's missed a considerable number of sitters too. Even the most optimistic of us on here would likely admit that even if we do well next year, we won't create as many as we do in League One, so being more clinical will become extra important. Probably important to highlight he's on 14 goals in the league which is a decent haul btw. But with that I've said in mind, you play a game in the Championship against one of the better sides and you might get one or two clear cut chances in a game; I'm not sure you put your money on him to finish them yet. You could argue what he brings to the team is more important than his goal tally, and that's an argument I'd have some sympathy with. But I don't think highlighting finishing is totally unfair, either. Edit to add: his game is obviously still improving all the time, so not outwith the question for him to become more clinical (I hope he does!). Just calling it as I've seen it this season.

That's an incredibly, incredibly harsh take on MacIver above. I feel there's a legitimate conversation to be had as to whether he's clinical enough (I don't think he is) or whether he should be our starting striker in the Championship next season (I'm undecided on this), but he's played a significant role this year and done better than any of us expected.

Maybe in the minority but I think I may go for Miller vs Accies. Went mental when that went in. After Hogarth had flung them a route back into it (I forgive you, Nicky), Falkirk teams of old would have crumbled but we went right up the park, said “f**k you” and went right back at them minutes later. Confirmation that day we would do it, for me. Was also right behind it and it was a fucking ARROW. Scenes.

Costelloe is absolutely humpty.

Ian Crocker is always absolutely choking for Rangers to score. It’s not even subtle.

Lyall Cameron is a joy to watch. Baller.

After the season we’ve had, it would probably have been quite an easy promise to renege on by saying “it’s been so good and to keep it going, we need to put up prices” and most people would have likely accepted that. The fact they’ve stuck to their promise no matter what is something I and I think other fans will take a great deal of stock and trust in. Sticking to your word means a lot. We’ll make up money by likely adding hundreds of season ticket holders next season anyway, plus merchandise, sponsorships and hospitality have been flying. If you want to pay more for your season ticket, you can. If not, you can support in other ways. Best of both worlds.

Provided he’s not on too much money and on the basis he’d probably be going into next season as third choice as I think we’ll sign another striker, I’d keep Shanley. I think he’s got something about him and that will only improve with quality coaching.

Actually rather amusing how easy that was.

I’d be more worried about what was on the park. You’re absolutely fucking rotten.

Word for Nesbitt by the way, I’ll be honest and say I’m not his biggest fan, but I thought he was absolutely superb today.
