Oh.

Folk who think we can do better than the Gallaghers of this world at present are delusional.

Gow got injured in u-20 game today...

Ooft!! This place tonight.....

Thought Baird and Kelly did fine. Baird in particular was impressive. We struggled down the flanks though. Conlan's struggling and Naismith bombs forward too much and struggles to recover.
Fck knows what the answer is though.

Cheesy was in the family stand today. We could've done with him on the pitch.

I disagree - loyalty to club legends brings fans and club together and adds something special to the relationship.
Unlike some of the cretins who played for us last season, he's taken a pay cut to try and make amends - I respect that and would rather have someone who cares about the club than a nobody journeyman.
I see promotion as a 2 year job and Thommo can help on the pitch in the first year.
Surely he has a bit of credit in the bank?

He scored his last 3 (4?) in a row - why wouldn't he take this one?
He didn't take one for almost 4 seasons after his last miss so it's not like vanity plays any part - he was nominated, he took it, he missed. Shit happens. Doubt he'll take another.

Poor start. Got better. Work to do. Rangers were much better than us. Exactly as I expected.

(ETA Absolutely bizarrely, it looks like Thommo could be the boo boys' target this year going by comments from some of the weirdos on here).

If we're mid-table we'll be scrapping for a play off place and that'll do me this season - anything else is bizarrely unrealistic given what's happened to our team in the past 2 years.
IM is patiently piecing together a team from - and with - virtually nothing. To suggest we should in any way challenge Rangers and Hibs this year is stupid. And we're currently way behind Falkirk as well.
This should, at least, be a 2 year project. Some of the nuggets on here are either willingly blind or just know nothing about football.

Yesterday's man.
It does call into question our strategy as a club though.
We've ploughed cash into youth development for virtually no return. Clubs like ICT, County and St Johnstone haven't bothered and have been far more successful than us. The SFA do f**k all to support or favour those who develop talent. Why bother?
Get a job lot of English journeymen up every season for the same cost and stop developing young players for other teams to take for free.

McGinn is out of contract and free to sign for whichever club wants him.
The sticking point is that club would then be due us a fee, set by a tribunal, of at least around £250k.
Clubs will have noted he was bang average last season and - I surmise - is the type of character that sues his club for a mere training ground accident.
He is clearly not coming back to Love St and clubs are in no rush to pay for him - a promising career potentially ruined it would seem.
Ah well....
