    Malta are not a part time team and the FINAL score was 1-5. :1eye

    You don't really know what you're talking about do you? :lol:

     

     

     

     

     

    You've got some tone on you. You not getting any? 

    Anyhow, some of the Maltese players are part time, thus I consider them a part time team. You consider them full time if you wish. They have one solitary player playing at a decent level, Schembri at Boavista. They are ranked 176th in the world. St Lucia, Cambodia and the Maldives are all ranked higher.

    We were winning 2-1 when they went down to 10 men and we got a penalty. We were struggling, but if you think we were playing well and the same out of form players deserved to start the next game, fair enough. I don't. In my opinion Strachan is hopeless, but he appeals to the Tartan Army and that appears to be enough these days to get that job,

     

  2. This has got to be the most bitter post I have ever read from you Top Cat. Ok get Ross was not top of your list but to go on a Stuart Dickson style witch hunt with Ross is well below your normal standard. Give it a rest mate get behind the manager and team and lets see what unfolds over the next few months ( not weeks )



    I didn't read any bitterness. Just realism. JR is a very similar appointment to Murray and Rae. That's true.

    I think it's safe to say all Saints fans wish him success though. That's just obvious.

    As you know, we never, ever really found out why he was stripped of his duties , and why he was basically shunned thereafter until he was out of contract . He would be a good guy to get in and around the club again imo as he is respected by the players , and he certainly wouldn't set up an ex Rangers players v non Rangers players friendly at training :rolleyes:

    FFS, please tell me you're joking and that didn't really happen!

  4. Bloody Hell- We are in a different place from last two years...... We had Sons rejects,,, that guy we got from some level 8 English Pub team, but his dad had been famous, cant remember his name



    James Marwood. Some would say the worst player ever to play for us. Some being me!
  5. Ah, I get your point now. Fair enough Magennis hasn't set the world on fire at club level, but he has played for his country in the knockout stages of Euro 2016. I suppose you could also argue that McGregor and McGinn have won the Scottish Cup and McGinn has played for Scotland. Dummett, Isma, Thommohawk and Teale were also class players.

    Personally I think we should have done better in the league with the players we had, especially in 2012/13. But yeah, Danny certainly wasn't the sole reason why we finished outwith the top 6, the players didn't consistently perform to the level they were capable of.

  6. I think a valid summary is that if Hamilton win in 90 mins, then we need a 4 goal winning margin over EC and at least 2 of the following to happen...

    (Arbroath to win away to ICT OR Dung to win away to Dundee Utd on penalties)
    Alloa to win away to Raith
    Stenhousemuir to draw or win away to Queen of the South
    Stranraer to draw or win home to Motherwell
    (Berwick to win away to Morton OR Albion Rovers to avoid a 3 goal defeat at Rugby Park)

  7. It's pretty obvious that the further away the game, the fewer the number of people that will/can travel. Not sure what that's got to do with anything.

    Last year I got to see my team play at an iconic stadium such as Hillsborough. Did I travel to Hamilton again for the umpteenth time last week?.........no, I didn't.

  8. I remember when we used to say the same (or some of us did) about Danny Lennon and his top 6 squad. We binned Lennon and since then only Kenny McLean has finished the season in a top 6 team.


    I'm not sure I get your point, but McGowan and Harkins have subsequently played for a top 6 team. Plus Magennis has done alright for himself.
  9. Deary me. Just looked at the tables. We are currently the bottom ranked 2nd placed team on 6 points.

    We have no chance without a heap of results going our way.

    Even if we had lost 1-0 it would have been tight.

    Time to focus on the league.



    If we win by 4 goals on Saturday and finish 2nd, we will definitely have more points than the 2nd placed teams in Groups A and B.

    As you say though, whether we would have a better points/goal difference than those in another 2 groups........ maybe not.

    Maybe Edinburgh City will do us a favour tonight! [emoji4]
