We all knew Murrell was bent and he has been for years. The only question really is whether Wee Nic goes down with him or not. Could we have two first ministers in a row facing criminal charges? The SNP really are a cesspool of corruption and sleaze.

No that innuendo exists in your head only I’m afraid. When you hear the phrase bent coppers, do you think this means gay police officers? Your own bigotry is coming though here, really weird.
How do you know what the police have found incidentally? They’ve taken plenty out his house, will take weeks to go through. His good mate Livingstone is no longer at the top of police Scotland, so he can’t keep it covered up for him any longer. 

What a bizarre reply. Bent clearly means corrupt in this context. Why would you bring his sexuality into it? How odd.

The fact you think the term ‘bent’ means gay shows your bigotry. Haven’t heard that term used in that context for years. Why do you think it means that? Is that how you refer to gay people?
Plenty has been seized from the house. Charges in a complex financial investigation like this can be weeks, months, or even years after the initial arrest. Plenty of evidence to sift through in the meantime. 
Livingstone is working his notice and is no longer in power. No coincidence this has came after he announced he was stepping down. He would never have allowed his good pal to be investigated like this. Corruption and sleaze went right to the top in Sturgeons SNP government. Thankfully, it will now be exposed 

Oh yes, the arrest and serving of a warrant on the husband of a first minister who surprisingly resigned a few weeks ago doesn’t suggest corruption at all. 
The SNP cultists are something else 😂

He's already a proven creator and scorer of goals at SPFL Premiership level and he's now doing it consistently in the Championship. Pundits, commentators and ICT fans have been praising his performances ever since he went there and he will start in a Scottish Cup Semi final in a few weeks, and his team will be the favourites to win it. The only people that seem keen to talk him down at the moment is a section of our own support - bizarre!

We are a far more physical side than Livi, we have a worse disciplinary record than them this season. Indeed I'd say we are far and away the most direct and physical team in the league.

Jay’s a proven performer at top flight level and a Scotland U21 internationalist. He regularly provided goals and assists for us in the Scottish Premiership - two of our best goals for us last season were scored by him - Dundee Utd away and Dundee Utd at home and he got four assists, including a superb cross for the vital winner at Dens under Robinson. 
However, he’s a winger, not a defender. Sadly our hammer throwing style doesn’t allow for tricky wee wingers who can beat a man, get a ball in and score a goal. That’s not a slight against Henderson at all, there’s no attacking wingers in the world who would fit in our system.
Pity! 

Oh he certainly is. The 8 league goals were after 30 games incidentally, we have played 29 now. The 12 goal total haul in his first season came without any in the league cup group stage too - he was signed after it finished. He was certainly capable of putting together a 21st century record goal haul for us in a top flight season that year, sadly COVID got in the way. Main has never and will never hit those kind of numbers.
One of my favourite Obika performance was when he ragdolled the Motherwell defence in that famous 4-4 draw, got 2 in the process and scored the winning penalty in the shoot out in the Scottish Cup, not sure why we should discount cup goals. Main has six goals full stop this season, and his failure in front of goal was one of the biggest reasons for our cup disasters. Zero goals against Airdrie and Arbroath FFS.
In Obikas stop start injury hit season in 19/20 he got more than Main has now, and Main plays pretty much every minute of every game.
Thompsons 16 goal figure also included cup goals, and who could forget those 😍

Aye, the usual pre match whining about the officials. 
I prefer to talk about them AFTER the game, if at all. 

What a signing he was, last double figures in a season striker we had.

It was the cup form aswell actually. In the season after we won the cup we went out that same cup to second tier Queen of the South and then got papped out the Scottish early by Dundee Utd. If he had managed a cup run that season he may well have got a new contract. For a club like ours cup runs are a huge part of our season and our budget. We had been consistently making quarter finals - four out the last five including two semis - up until this season, where we made zero.
So far this season we have failed in the League Cup, failed in the Scottish Cup (with the caveat of an unlucky draw, but the added caveat of that home shocker against Dundee, where we got very lucky). Top six will certainly make the league campaign a success, let's hope we do it!

Yep it's really weird. I'm sure Jay will go on to a have a long and fine career in the game, as they all did.

Very true... It's what we do best,
Billy Stark, Kenny McLean, Ross Stewart just a few examples of young players who got pelters from our fans yet went on to have decent careers.. 
St Mirren fans, greeting faced cnuts since 1877...😂

Still haven’t answered the question. Plenty of teams have made top six with smaller budgets than us -Livi have managed it several times - finishing half way up a shan league is hardly something to be proud of, but it’s been the stated aim of the manager since the day he arrived. We are simply judging him by his own standards and objectives. Perfectly reasonable objective too, given we were in the top six the day he walked through the door. 
Livi’s run in is clearly easier than ours, they don’t even play another top six team much while we have two away  games against the top three.
If their form is poor then what is ours? We have one win in our last seven - at home County. Livi have two wins in their last seven, at home to Killie and County.
I actually think we will beat them in two weeks. Our home form in the league has been the only real positive this season and we’ve already beaten them once in Paisley. I think we beat them in two weeks and they overtake us in the two games after and we go into the final game against Killie needing to better their result. 

What other positives are there? Certainly not our away form or our cup performances - both have been terrible. But like you said, our home record in the league has been excellent, a real and tangible positive from this season. We are simply judging Robinson by his own target - he came in and said he wanted to make us a top six club.  Let's see if he can reach his own objective. To say 'we have been much worse before' has almost always been true and it was true in the dark days of the 90's too - in 1974 we finished 29th in Scotland! 

Well done. Spot on with Priorscroft Bowling Club.👏👏

Peter Murrell is drawing them up as we speak.😄

Just seen Sportscene.
What a disgrace Main is. 
Shaming our jersey and Club
Cheating diving bassa.
Well out of order. Shouldn't play for our Club again.
