Rovers 🔵⚪️ v Thistle 🔴🟡 - 2nd v 3rd
Duke Gekantawa replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
That’s because they are. Top of the last 5 form (12 from 15), with us second (11 from 15). The big difference is that they are also top of the last 10 (23 from 30), while we only got 13 points in that time (7th) -
Rovers v Airdrie - Tuesday 09/04
Duke Gekantawa replied to AllanJM's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Don’t forget that last season’s second place team got humped 8-0 in the playoff -
🔴🟡PTFC vs ICT🔵🔴 - 30th March 2024
Duke Gekantawa replied to R&Y99's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I actually thought that was a fairly comfortable win. It wasn’t fun to watch, but if the game was still going on I doubt ICT would’ve scored. We had the best chances (if not that many) while I don’t remember Mitchell making a save of note, nor them missing any decent chances. Suddenly being defensively very solid means we can get away with a lacklustre showing in midfield /attack. On balance I definitely thought we deserved the win anyway -

Open Goal Podcast
Duke Gekantawa replied to Arab_R_us's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
While I disagree with this entirely (not being accepting of racism or homophobia is hardly being "closed minded" I would say), the truly most bizarre aspect of this argument is the idea that the "media" is some sort of progressive woke echo-chamber which comprises only The Guardian and its ilk. This is the same media which includes The Mail, The Express, the Telegraph, The Sun, GB News, The Spectator etc.., none of which I have ever thought of as woke. -

Well if everyone who doesn’t like it apparently likes pro wrestling, why not? -
🔴🟡Thistle vs Morton🔵⚪️ 16th March 2024
Duke Gekantawa replied to R&Y99's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The weird irony about all this hoarding chat is that it didn’t even work. Strapp just moved them and took his long run up anyway. All it did was provide a bit of pantomime entertainment for the crowd. -

So it’s top v bottom in terms of last 5 game form. If anything, this entire table underlines what a crazy league this is. -

I forgot how good this was (and never witnessed it in person). Seeing it now, maybe I’ll go for this one -

But Osman was great for us for three full (premier) seasons before missing the first half of the relegation season through injury and not recovering. To me that’s very different to the 6 month wonders such as Keown, Barton et al. -

I’m amazed that Abdul Osman has not received a mention. He was immense for us for a decent length of time. -

But the decision to play on the Saturday was only made mid-December, after we had been knocked out of the Challenge cup. Prior to that, the final was scheduled for Saturday or Sunday. At the time of the decision, the semi-finalists were known and it was clear that there was a realistic clash between the final and the same club's mens team if played on the Saturday, with no such clash (for any of the remaining participants) if played on the Sunday. By leaving the decision as to which day of the weekend to play the final so late, it should have been simple to avoid any such clash. I really don't see why you can't think of what else they could have done for this. -
Ayr United's Next Permanent Manager

Won trophies with Liverpool and Everton. He's out of the running for this job, having tragically passed away at only 46 from Lymphoma -

Though of course, that’s something they would have known about when originally setting the loan period and allowing him to be cup tied. They don’t play for the next two weeks either. -

Hearts are having a very good season, largely due to an excellent defensive record. Unless there’s been an injury or two there, I think they would recognise the present arrangement as best for Neilson and therefore themselves. Also he was allowed to play for us in the cup, which suggests no recall is planned (or at least wasn’t then)
