Or is history not something that we can learn from?

Seriously? F*S. Trying not to lose every week, dull, dire, and guys like Erhahon and Reid not being brought on, and that's me venting my please no first thoughts. He did a job at the time, but we are on a different level now. He spunked a lot of money away at Aberdeen - Stewart captain and Coulson at LB is horrendous. He did the same for us with Brophy. Anyway, he'll not need a gig for a while with his pay-off.

I know, but hypothetically I'm vocalising my strong desire that we hang on to him. Hence the contract extension hope.

Yeah he's not going even for 7 figures. Hope there is not a buy-out clause, and that a contract extension will be on the table and signed at the end of this season. First impressions pre-season were worrying. Now though, he's the man.

Oh man, maybe we should have budgeted for 10th

So we have a game in hand to Hearts against Motherwell which could take us to within 3 points of them in 3rd - its hard to believe. Before then we play Hibs on Saturday while Hearts are at home to Utd. So even if we beat Hibs and Motherwell, if Hearts win and continue to do so, it could take more than a few wins to overtake them. Let's not kid ourselves, 4th would be incredible. For 3rd to happen Hearts would need to drop off a bit or we'd need to up our points average enough. And we cannot discount Livingston, or others if we don't take wins. It's just brilliant that we're up there and competing for the top 6, and Europe for a change. Who laughed at Tony?

Just as well we got Watt - I hope.

Hearts and Don's have had 9 penalties whereas we've had 4 - 2 of which we missed.

The away table not so great but improving. Some surprises though e.g. the Fakes and Motherwell.

Our home form as we all know has been right up there. Here's the stats.

What you on?

O'Hara stood out to me, Gogic also was excellent. One or two did a job but weren't that great (Tans for eg.), but boy did they all work their socks off - no one hides in SR's teams. Glad Small got game time and provided Dec's assist, great Main scoring a brace, but other than Frasers error we rarely looked vulnerable. 3 points on Sat. Would keep us in dreamland. Come on lads Europe is in our grasp.

So long as Aberdeen or someone else doesn't pinch our manager

Get in there 2 wins on the spin. Tough home game to pull away further in FOURTH chasing 3rd. Carlsberg time.

We have not had so much possession in 5 games as we've had in this 1st half. We need to make and take chances and keep 11 on the park... they might go down to 9
