  1. An earlier post got me thinking about something so I just checked.

    In the 5 away games we have played against Livi, County and St. Johnstone, we have accumulated 2 points from 15.

    That’s a shocker. Think where we’d be if we’d even collected 9 from 15.

    I think, although we don't have the same crosses into the box from the right, we're coping well enough not to push Strain too hard. Elvis has been a reasonable deputy. Shrewd transfer work.

    Agree 100%.

    Also don’t want to be overly critical, but I think we are all potentially guilty of getting a wee bit misty eyed over Strain. He started the season (by that I mean literally the first handful of games) on top form taking up where he left off last season. However, let’s not forget that he did go off the boil to quite a large extent prior to his injury, including potentially costing us the game against Rangers by getting an incredibly amateurish sending off. 
    No question he’s a smashing player and if we’re guaranteed to get Ryan from last season, then get him straight back in, but like you say, Elvis is performing well enough, so I’ll trust Robbo to watch Strain in training and reintroduce him at the right time.

    Got that wrong, overall we played well and I have to say that Jamieson is starting to show what he can do.  He was a handful for the fakes and his running off the ball was quite effective

    I’m in danger of starting to come across like someone who’s got it in for Jamieson (which I absolutely haven’t), but I’m still just not seeing it.  Even on Saturday I didn’t think he was up to much. I think he flatters to deceive as he appears quite lively and has the odd nice wee touch here and there, but when it matters I think his decision making is awful. He gives the ball away quite often in the final third, usually through taking too long to make his mind up what he wants to do. Often he also makes the wrong decision i.e. shoots when he should pass or vice versa. 
    Hopefully it’s just a bit of rawness that he will be able to work through in time, but for the moment I think he’s a passenger.

    Never an easy game for us up there but if we play well I'm pretty confident we'll win, they wont sit back like livingston did they'll have a go and that will suit us.

    Ross County 1 Saints 3 

    I expect Faraway will be hoping for a County victory now  :lol:

     

    You no changed your mind about comin yet? 😄

    I said we'd go 4th mate, but mistakenly indicated we'd have played a game more than Dundee when I should have said Killie. 

    Anyhow, gies a song. 

    Ah I see. I thought you meant after the midweek games and thought we will have played a game more than Dundee so you’re right. 🤣

    We’ll only have played a game more than Killie for one night though and their game is against Rangers so 🤞

    Anyway…

    As we enter the final stretch of games before the split this game could see us go 4th, albeit having played a game more than Dundee.

    What a confidence boost that would be. :happyclapper

    Nothing hurts as much as my sides laughing at you. 🤣🤣🤣

    You wouldnae have been laughing at his performance in the Club Bar last night. Passers by could’ve been forgiven for thinking that Glen Campbell had risen from the dead. 😄

    I can 1000% assure everyone I am not a racist and never would be the post could have been worded better I agree but it was not meant to be racist I apologise for that.

    Never thought for one minute you would be mate. 👍

    Hence raising it on here as you clearly didn’t get the opportunity to defend yourself of P&B.

    I’ve no idea what you said, but I’m very aware that we are all capable of saying the wrong thing on occasion. 

  9. Allegedly @elvis has been kicked off P&B for being racist.

    I didn't see the offending post in question, so opportunity for him to defend himself on here, assuming he's not been booted off here as well.

    Matchday threads will simply not be the same without him. Or should I say "matchday threads where we're losing" as he doesn't feature on the ones where we're winning. 😃

    Well

    Not sure how you would describe it as anything other than multiple 🤦🤦

     

    Currently costing us 4th place - but crack on if you see it differently 😳🤷

    Oh come China, take it on the chin. No need to be so touchy. You're post might have sounded less hyperbolic if you'd just said missed penalties have cost us 3 points. I wonder how many points missed penalties have cost other teams in comparison to us. I could check that out........if only I cared enough.

    Think Killie have been better at hanging in and around games and stealing late points ...There last 2 games are prime examples - when we are good we are really good and have had some fabulous results 

    But , we have lost points in silly places and our inability to score from the 12 yard spot has cost us multiple points 

     

    Hmmm.  So cost us two points against Motherwell and one against Livi.  I suppose in the sense that it's more than one, then three can be described as "multiple", but not really in any other way.

    Today's game, preferred results..........

    Aberdeen DRAW

    Celtic HOME WIN

    Dundee AWAY WIN

    Hearts HOME WIN

    PS St Johnstone AWAY WIN tomorrow.

    Agree with all except I’d prefer a Motherwell away win or a draw.

    I’m still daft enough to think we can catch Hearts. 🤣
