Oh dear. Woeful. Still no shots on target. Another game without scoring. Radio now off.

Maybe not the best signing we've had, but wish him well for the future. Cheers David.

Excellent! Not seen that one before.

Same here Drew, standing having a slash. I didnt see you in there. When I heard the crowd roar, I immediately thought "Fcuk! 2 nil". Understandable after the way we started the game. My daughter Emma was waiting outside and when I came out she was shouting "I think we scored!" We ran up the stairs and saw the celebrating Buddies and then watched the replay on the TV screen. Might not seem much but its a moment I remember fondly from the day, not being in the toilet with Drew but going from thinking it was 2 nil to us equalising. Good thread.

Two feckin shockers. Lets move on.

Very sad.

Have just seen the goals...love it! Have just seen Neil Lennons interview...love it even more!

STV news report this aswell. No broken bone. Great news.

SSN just shown the goals from tonight. Great strike from Kelly.

Bite us in the ass! What do you kbow! United on fire at the moment. Doubt they can keep it up. Next round in Feb so hopefully the wee boys will have burnt themselves out. Nothng to fear. 2 - 1 the good guys.

Great result. Pleased Harkins took his chance of getting a rare start and having a good game. Delighted for Sean Kelly getting a goal aswell. Another clean sheet which is another big positive. Nice one Saints.

In 2003 Saints drew 4 - 4 with Falkirk at Love street. We were 3 down at half time but a Martin Cameron hat trick in the second half got us a point. Equaliser coming from the spot with 2 minutes left. Great second half by him.

Interview with Brian Caldwell and article on the deflated dome on Sky Sports News in next half hour.

I saw on the news tonight diggers at Hampden ripping up the pitch. Surely they could have lifted the turf properly and sold it for charity or donated it to a good cause? Seems like a waste to me.

Surprisingly strange. Wouldnt be happy if I was an ICT fan.

Apart from this comment, im not going to comment on this until we beat Q of the S. Could bite us in the ass!

Thanks Drew. Appreciated. Correct Poz. Health & safety is a major factor in decision making for emergency services The nature of the job tells you that there is an element of risk in all emergency incidents but you have to try and reduce the risk. As you mention, the fatality in the Ayrshire mine was tragic for the woman and her family, but again it was a very challenging situation. Fire and Rescue service have working at height equipment and are well trained in using it. It can be used for working at height or for performing rescues in areas where it is very difficult to access and the use of ropes and harnesses are required. The Firefighters first on scene at the mine were prepared to go against procedures and enter the mine but were prevented in doing so by senior officers.. They followed procedures to the law. It was pitch black in the early hours of the morning and they didnt know how stable or how deep the mine was. the mine rescue people took a number of hours to get to the scene by this time the casualty was deteriorating. You can say they should have let the Firefighters go down the mine and rescue the woman ignoring safety procedures. It could have gone 2 ways, the rescue being a success and everybody gets out safely or the entrance to the mine collapses and more people are injured or even killed. The senior officers end up getting jailed on a manslaughter charge. Thats a decision I would not like to make. The Fire and Rescue service now has a designating line rescue crew based at East Kilbride for incidents like this. they will be deployed and on scene within 1 hour. thats my rant over aswell.

I understand the frustraton of the two families who are constantly being interviewed with regards to family members still being in the pub. I cant imagine what they are going through. However having been working at the incident and seeing inside the pub they dont appreciate how complex and time consuming the whole recovery process takes. The helicopter and building were extremely unstable and it wasnt a case of emergency crews not doing enough quickly enough. Every movement was potentially dangerous for crews working inside. Its an extremely harrowing and surreal sight inside the pub and i can assure you everybody is working in a highly professional and dignified manner in a difficult environment. My thoughts are with the victins, their families and everybody affected by this tragedy.

Yes. Into a block of flats just outside Clarkston. Two people killed. The pilot came front Paisley. Think that was about 20 years ago.

At work today and will be going to this incident in the next couple of hours. Very difficult situation but its still being treated as rescue and not casualty recovery. Emergency services have done a great job so far.

Terrible accident. Thank God no fire involved. Police helicopter apparently lost power.

Given the media circus attached to this game, satisfied with a point. Hibs gone 5 games without a goal. Glad we didnt oblige them.

Need to put one of these chances away.

Good start. Too much is being made of Goodwin missing and Butchers first game. We are better than them. 3 points. COYS!

Basher and Thommo. Two legends who grew up in the same street. Played with Basher when we were boys and Thommo a few years younger. Didnt think then they would both be Saints legends.
