  1. Kilmarnock Inverness Partick Dunfermline Kirkcaldy Hamlton Dumfries Arbroath Ayr Greenock Killie have recruited well on the face of it and also have the financial ability to still recruit a decent no 9 & strengthen in January if required . Based on squads quoted so far, the League looks far weaker than in recent seasons.
  2. Also worth pointing out that Killie last night were willing to play the game with the 6 positive tests isolating and filling the squad with youths, but it has been taken out football’s hands by the health authorities.
  3. The game had to be postponed and thankfully NHS have stepped in to take the lead. Imagine the fall out if Doncaster and his gang forced it played and next week a whole load of Motherwell & Scotland squad players tested positive? That would be a shambles! There’s a lot more scope for midweek re-arrangements further down the line, other than the two still involved in the Europa league.
  4. I wouldn’t be surprised to see same back four, midfield 3, the ageless and peerless Burkey wide right, Haunstrop wide left after a good debut & Kabamba running amok up front. Brophy needs to earn his place now. That should see us grind out 1-1 in an entertaining game. PS a wee bit pressure on Rogers to have a confident, mistake-free 90mins.
  5. What’s the reasoning for this being played at 7:45pm since it’s not on Sky and there’s no crowd?
  6. We need competition for him, especially with Findlay only a year from being a free agent.
  7. Only on one occasion though in a match. As soon as the re-run is altered due to prior knowledge, the rest of the game is also altered as it has never happened before. The old Space Time Continuim problem Marty my boy!
  8. She can come up with 100 different proposals, but at least half the Premier teams aren’t going to vote for anything that increases their own chances of relegation in 12 months time. Time to move on and enjoy the ***-lite rasslin about with Queens, Alloa, A*r, and the like.
  9. Guilty of overexposure recently - probably due to our current situation, but also has become too entrenched in his own opinion. As an outsider he has been balanced previously, and seen things from that perspective but has gone off the deep end and ended up as Succulent Tam to many now. He’s not Traynor though yet!
  10. So your argument fails as Killie would have gone through if they’d kept their normal counter attacking style instead of pushing for a goal they didn’t need in the home leg. Or if we looked dumbfounded at the silky Welsh play, then you’re acknowledging they were better than first thought since Sevco have never managed to look silky against us in recent seasons? If Alessio was implementing a culture of beautiful and expansive football, then you definitely never saw Killie during his tenure. If anything he was too defensive with 3 sitting centre mids home or away, and Brophy isolated with no support within 30 yards in most games. The football was brutal to watch 95% of the time. It’s no surprise he’s been so much more effective since Alessio left.
  11. I think “that aged well” is the common parlance used in such situations
  12. I fully expect a Big Dunc at Everton bounce for the Killie boys now Lord Alex Dyer has the reins for the next few games. What was looking an away cert, is now a home banker
  13. We have a biter, but won’t need a bigger boat. Just a shrimp!
  14. Well done Rossco, stopping a very long and sustained rot there lads. Lucky you had the bottle merchants in town last night and they just went and Hibsed it, it seems. The honeymoon’s over, Jack Ross’ shagging days are behind him now (pardon the pun)!
  15. Either have Kris Boyd up front or ensure you play Falkirk in the relegation deciding game. Hope that helps. There is a third option. Make sure you play Hibs at Easter Rd right at the end of the season - safe in the knowledge they’ll ‘Hibs it’ as only they can
  16. That’s all accurate but bare stats don’t tell the full picture. We lost 2 goals to Motherwell away after having our only fit centre back red carded in 16 mins and still ran them close. Followed by a 3-0 doing at Pittodrie 3 days later, with no centre backs available. Having Bruce & del Fabro back makes a big difference. Not the paciest two but both read the game very well and get cover from Dicker to let the full backs attack.
  17. Sportsound is just AberdeenWatch & HeartsOpinion in recent years. Richard Gordon has morphed into fanboy when he used to be very good at presenting a range of Scottish football talking points. Miller & Preston are as relevant as Waldorf & Stadler without the humour. Stewart when appearing only has strong opinions on his club, Ferguson to be fair can just about string a coherent sentence together now. Pity it has deteriorated so far with a lack of fresh new pundits from across the spectrum of Scottish football.
  18. I’m confident we’ve got too much for a Saints side who look totally shot of belief. Has TW tried to integrate too many youngsters too quickly and moved away from the template that had you guys as perennial top 6 certs? Or is there something else the cause? You look doomed to be in the bottom 2 or at best 3, all season the way things are going.
  19. How you fluke your way to 3rd over the course of a season you’d need to explain to me. You finish where you deserve in the league, cup competitions are totally different, luck can come into that.
  20. There’s loads of decent young Scottish bands and they done need a video to be played at the end of the show. Just stick up some highlights from lower league football games with the band and song title stuck at bottom of screen.
