     REM? Own all their albums and saw them live in Glasgow on the 1985 Green tour,

    Green came out in 1988 and the subsequent tour saw them play Glasgow in 1989. Fables of the Reconstruction was 1985.

    Edited to add:-

    Just seen you've already been corrected on this one.

    I would like to helpfully and constructively point out that Led Zeppelin were shite. As are/were AC/DC and all other tuneless screechy oiks of their ilk. 

    Robert Plant's voice make me want to do violence on him.

    And the thick twats didn't even know how to spell Lead. :P

    Led is the past participle of the verb "to lead". That's the second part of your argument that is incorrect. Go and visit a Mr. J Hutton for your well earned boot in the cheenies. :byebye :headbang

    Plaudits they deserved for finishing 19th in Scotland? Our worst finish for over a decade?

     

     

     

    That might be a fair argument but for the fact it's being made by someone who wanted to get rid of the manager that got us our best finish in over twenty years....

    Loch Striven, as a fellow Wee Howff resident once said to me, is one bloody deep loch. Used to be a huge big tanker moored there. Was built, launched and never used. Sat there for years; used to look for it whenever the ferry arrived in Rothesay. Then it eventually shuffled off elsewhere.

    That was always how I saw Loch Striven but I will now view it with interest from another point of view. Cheers Iain.

    He is a football manager. 

    The easiest job in the world 

    Fail at most stages and they walk away with their wallets jammed with cash. 

    :lol:

    Unlike being a taxi driver where you can get hired by folk that are utterly comatose through alcohol intake on a weekend night then YOU can walk away with THEIR wallets jammed with cash...... :o

    You take care of Falkirk & Dundee Utd. & we'll see what we can do!! Think we're gonna need all the help we can get!! :(

    Bloody hell, dmc, didnae know you were still kicking around here! :o

    By the way, I take it you're from the "It ain't New Order without Hooky" school of thought....

    At this stage in the season anything goes- Outside Bairns and Us there is no form book on winning in Last 10, QOS / Pars have ok records but we don't play them, Hibs 2 wins in last 10, United just stopped rot, Ton in freefall, as are Raith and Ayr lost last 3...... 

    The fact we have/ had top 4 all away I think helps us, as Jack said, none of these teams will sit back...... and I would also imagine that Bairns or United wished they had anyone but us......

    Feb we were 1/5 for drop, we are now 12/1. We did that all by ourselves and TBH Sons and Ayr have won games we didn't think they would 

    Absolutely. Totally and utterly absolutely. And that's what's made it so enjoyable.

    Jack Ross has won 11, drawn 5 and lost 11 since he came in. Most of those losses were a direct result of being left with Alex Rae's badly assembled & unbalanced squad.

    In our last 10 games, in all competitions - we've had 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses - 1 of those against Celtic. We should have beaten Dumbarton away, Dunfermline at home we were unlucky to draw - the Raith game at home was a poor loss.

    Our recent wins have came against the best team in Wales, and the 2 teams in our league with the highest wage budgets.

    From those stats alone, I reckon this thread should now be binned.

    Plus, in beating Dundee at Dens, a fully-fledged, actual Premier League side.

    It has to be assumed that TC is just trolling now. Not a patch on the bold skip' before his catastrophic decline, but I suppose he is due a wee bit of credit for getting a few bites.

    I agree with all of that except the binning of this thread. It should be kept at least until the OP has admitted he was wrong which, of course, there is no chance of happening until we are safe.

     

    if Saints go down then he'll say "told you so"; if Saints stay up he'll say "you didn't believe I was serious, did you?!". Win-win situation for the bold Lex.... :wink:

    if its your opinion we have improved, and that Ross should get the chance to manage us next season even if relegated? Think how you will feel if Morton, (who exist on a shoestring budget in comparison) exit this league at the same time, but in a different direction.,

    I don't give a flying shite about Morton, nor have I ever done.

    Looks all but inevitable. Ayr are away against us and don't play Raith again whereas we have them at home too so to that extent we have the better fixtures.

    Ayr play Raith on the final game of the season.

    Menstrie..... I share your views. We have still to play Ayr United and Dumbarton at home in early April.

    Much to be done. It certainly won't be easy but is possible.

    And Saints also have Raith at home.

    Agree that Russell should go, I knew I'd forgotten someone! But Gatland...

    For me, Laidlaw's game management outweighs his flaws as a player, and kicking only adds to that, he's definitely the right man for Scotland. Not so sure about the Lions, those qualities are covered by others and as a pure scrum half I think Murray and Youngs will be in front of him in the queue. Depends on whether or not he takes 3 scrummies, if he does then I think Laidlaw will be the second/midweek team captain.

    That's a fair point about Laidlaw however I think Gatland SHOULD take three scrum halfs and, what's more, reckon that he will.

    Russell, for me, is a definite. Fair enough, Paddy Jackson played well on Saturday but Russell has been on top form for a while now.

    But that's for later in the year, I suppose; Paris is before that.

    Scotland 27 22 Ireland

    Great result, Stuart Hogg has his boarding card for the plane to NZ, hopefully Jonny Gray as well. A few others putting their hands up, too, Seymour, Maitland, Dunbar, Wilson. Fagerson could be a good shout, too, for the experience if nothing else.

    I'd stick Greig Laidlaw & Finn Russell in amongst that lot as well. Absolutely brilliant performance and fantastic result. Gonna be a great tournament.

    Edited to add:- Actually, I’d put Laidlaw & Russell in the same bracket as Hogg and ahead of the others mentioned (although the others mentioned ARE a fair shout).
