  1. This has been a really bad half from Glasgow. Not scored a point, not really looked like scoring a point. Given away loads of stupid penalties and looked toothless really. Sharks well in this.

  2. Glasgow making pretty heavy weather of this game so far. I don't mind Jordan, but I was quite surprised at some of the whinging about Hastings coming back because for me Glasgow will be a considerably better team with him at 10.

    Children ( especially very young ones) aren't a problem, it's the fucking parents.   They let them away with behavior that would have result in a foot up the arse 25 + years ago. the amount of parents who let their kids get up and wander around the place when they're out for a sit down meal is unbelievable. I'd have been telt to sit at peace & quietly too.  I'm not even that old btw!

    Same issue with the dogs to be fair. Used to be the only dogs you got in pubs/restaurants were clapped out old pensioners dogs who spent the whole time sleeping under a chair, or the pubs own dog who is a bit of a local celebrity. Now everyone brings their stupid, yapping twat of a dog with them everywhere, don't control them and expect us all to find them as enchanting and lovable as they do.

    I take it from Robinson's post match interview and Langfield's comments on Twitter that some folk have been having a go at the team again? 

    I accept our recent form isn't great, but we've made it into the top six with room to spare - if I've done my maths right, it turns it Olusanya's goal against Aberdeen was what ended up putting us on enough points to secure our spot. Over the course of the season we fully deserve our place, even if we have stuttered a bit lately, and back to back top half finishes is a remarkable achievement after so long of not making it. Robinson has done a fantastic job over the past two years and the off the park work to improv the atmosphere and increase the attendances is also excellent.

    Not saying folk can't be unhappy with the recent results, but the replies you see on club posts after some of our latest results are laughable and everyone - including the players and management (and me!) - would be as well ignoring them rather than giving them any credit. If we were just scraping over the line to stay in the league like when Gus shitfested us to safety seem to be the height of our ambitions, I'd understand it a bit more.

    Last year we very much bottled our final pre-split game against Kilmarnock but yesterday we were up against the third top team in horrendous conditions and probably should have got a point. The recent form has probably screwed our chances of fourth - especially as we're incapable of beating Kilmarnock and they seem to be quite handy against the Old Firm - but fifth is very much up for grabs.

    Last season, making the top six after so long and the previous near misses was the achievement and we seemed to be on the beach after the split. Don't see that being the case this time around.

     

    Our recent form hasn't even been that bad. Last 6 or last 10 matches both are still comfortably top six form. Last 4 we've played Aberdeen, Hearts, Killie and Well, the two best teams in the league outside the OF and one of the most in form and taken 4 points, most of the doomsayers were predicting 0.

    The problem is of course, that Robbo has done a brilliant job and is now probably our most successful manager since the 80s. Now despite what they say, a lot of people wouldn't actually "love to be proved wrong" and they aren't happy at all about this. Therefore they have to blow every minor setback way out of proportion and can't enjoy any of the good times because 2 years ago they said he was Stubbs MK2 and won't just admit things changed.

    Relatively sure EPL clubs keep a section of their stadium aside for groups who have come from abroad, and you can buy them via websites as part of a holiday package.

    Yeah, in fact, some EPL clubs are now revoking season tickets from holders who don't go often enough to free up more space for tourists. Hell of a league.

  6. I was thinking yesterday, whilst it was great that the ground was sold out, we do have a fair few season ticket holders that, for whatever reason, can't attend each week. I'm not knocking these guys, they put their money in each season, probably knowing they won't get the full value, and I know plenty of them won't even live in Scotland anymore, but I wonder if it would be worth the club trying to set up some kind of exchange, or resale for these tickets, especially with everything being digital now? They have a list of all the season ticket holders, could it be as easy as signing in, marking yourself as "not going" and that releases the ticket for someone else? Not sure it's as easy as that, but might be worth a look, especially as we have one of the smaller grounds.
