Absolutely rattled, delicious.

About as rattled as the 4 or 5 Falkirk fans who actually took time to respond.  You'd just love to have big rangers supporter Dobbs in your team though wouldn't you? If you could better £3k a week and £100 a goal he still wouldn't leave QoS, he loves this wee Club.

Of course he loves your wee club, you are throwing money and adulation at him whereas if he were at a StJohnstone or Motherwell type club he would just be a well regarded old pro having a bit of an Indian Summer to his career.

Maybe that would be the right decision but I don't think we should be going into this game with 2 sitting midfielders. 

I don't think Paton is a sitting midfielder as he does tend to drive forward a lot. Unless you were referring to McShane?

Nah, Paton has been more of a defensive midfielder throughout his career. He does get forward but predominantly he is in the team to win the ball back and break up attacking moves.

The best thing yesterday was to see the desire and passion of the players, they are all playing for the badge.

A nice romantic notion but I am afraid you are wrong.

Very few if any footballers these days play for a badge - they play for themselves first, then the manager that brought them there,  and their teammates (the team).     

You might get some youth players come through the ranks that have a connection/affinity with the club and therefore  the badge but there is no way loan players and free agents care what badge is on their strip.

They are motivated by a very good manager & coaches, by the camaraderie of the team  - and definitely inspired by the supporters (and reflect that passion)  , a desire to win and to further their career.

But any badge kissing or pointing to the shirt is merely to gain favour with the fans. Nowt wrong with that but many of them will be doing it somewhere else next season.  

The bottom line is when we stay up everyone will be happy and no-one will care who played for a badge or themselves.  So all good.

I am wrong in your opinion, you forgot to add that[emoji4].

Fancy us to bully Morton on Friday. Need a win there. Can see a scabby 1-0. 

Biggest game of the season so far. We win and Morton become favourite to be 9th imo.

Every game is going to grow in importance from here on in. A win on Friday would be absolutely massive. It would be a humongous great house brick fired into the calm serenity of the Morten garden pond.

Depends really on the result of their game V QoS on Tuesday.  Hopefully they're not 3 points better off after that.
