So 4 shows at the Hydro announced yesterday and a further 2 announced today looks like selling out quite quickly, 12000 seats at between 30 and 45 quid a ticket means they will be doing well out of it anyway!!! managed to get 2 tickets for the friday show yesterday, went in today to look at getting two more for a friend and there was over 10,000 people in the queue a new bbc series will probably be on the way after the show also

Pretty sure Norrie McWhirter is working for a joinery company (cant remember where i seen/heard this though)

St Marys Primary Edward Scissorhands (came out when I was 4 or 5 and had nightmares for ages.....) Subbuteo (sp) got it from my grandparents and just wanted to play it all the time

Massive result, hopefully season changing Well done to the players and Management

Amazed Kenny is taking so much abuse when he is probably our only midfielder that offers a goalscoring threat, we have scored 2 goals all season (league), for all the arguing about harkins and mcgowans playing positions, neither offers goals, McGowan scored a fair few penalties last year but i dont remember scoring many from open play. Kenny scored 5 or 6 goals last year, usually of high quality, amazing considering he hardly kicked a ball in second half of the season.

IMO its fairly clear DL is wanted out by some of the senior pros, but while Goodwin may well be one of them his performances have been gradually slipping for the past 12-18 months,its DLs fault that he has stuck by Goodwin to the degree he has. Thompsons performances pre and post cup final have been night and day. Either his age has caught up with him or hes not bothering his arse Harkins is just a waste of a jersey, look at Hibs second goal on the highlights, their full back (alan maybury, well over 30) is running to the by line when harkins appears in shot running half arsed to close him down. Grainger has been dreadful but will, IMO, come good. Goodwin is as culpable as anyone but i wouldnt say his performances have been the worst. The way these players have been performing has certainly left a bad taste in the mouth as they leave the manager hanging out to dry. The manager is not blameless, far from it, poor signings and tactically naive and IMO he will not turn it around. If it was possible i would love for some of these players to follow him out the door.

The 2 late county goals should be more of a reason to end DLs reign quickly, allows new man to come in under massive pressure. Im convinced he will go this week, enoughs enough

I really dont seee how he can continue, time for the BoD to make the right decision.

If Hearts win and we lose surely the board need to make their move. This cannot go on.

If, as has been mentioned previously, that we budget every year for 11th then Danny avoiding relegation every year and adding the bonus of a cup can justifiably make these claims IMO. I may not agree with what hes saying but thats irrelevant really, if he has achieving every objective the club set him , ie avoid relegation, and with the added bonus of the cup win then he has every right to question what the club would do if they sack him. Like I said, i may not agree but i dont think DL can be criticised for making these comments

We seem to be sacrificing Paul McGowan in order to give Gary Harkins a more advanced, free role. unfortunately, Harkins doesnt work hard enough and basically isnt as good as Paul McGowan in order to justify this switch Trying to accomodate Harkins has resulted in playing a few players out of position

Out of curiosity Stuart, what happens if said child had had to use their 26 or 32k fighting some illness. They are now penalised at the age of 5 when it comes to school as they have spent all their dividend on private health care.

Actually looking forward to getting back to football after the international break, no idea how we will play Motherwell fan in work saying the new boy Anier is their danger man and that McManus and McFadden have been disapointing so far. i would go back to basics, Cornell Vanzy Cheesy Mair/McGregor Grainger Goodwin Newton McGowan Teale McGInn/McLean/Harkins (out wide) Thompson most players playing in their natural position (except McGinn or McLean) which would be a change not convinced that Goodwin has the legs to play this role every week but against 'well he will be up against McFadden who is slower than me Wont happen though as we will have more players out of position and i dont think he will move goodwin from midfeld, we will probably try and think Bahoken in also

Im not convinced Goodwin has the legs to do that role anymore and thats why hes retained his position at the back For me Mair is much of a muchness with our other centre halfs, thats not saying much about any of them to be honest

Is there a more annoying phrase than "its a short career" So what if you can only play football til your 35, go and get another job, I agree with oaksoft, the caliber of player we have in scotland is not worth 1000-3000 quid a week. if everyone cut their cloth accordingly the league would level out, yes, you will always get someone paying way over the odds, Hearts and Rangers fans are hardly laughing now though

If DL was to go i dont think we would pay any compensation for a manager ruling out the highly rated guys in the lower league. More likely someone like John Hughes or Billy Reid which doesnt exactly fill me with confidence either

For me, Danny has brought a lot of problems on himself. hes had a poor pre season in terms of squad, no one can deny that, what i will say though is that very few of us actually know what happens behind closed doors, we have no idea what the budgets are (currently) and how they are spent. i cant imagine any manager wouldnt bring in players is there is money available, so have the BoD moved the goalposts possibly due to hearts predicament? who knows. His record in terms of permanent signings is poor recently, Harkins and Grainger look like decent additions right now to be fair. One thing that certainly is Dannys fault though is an inability to change, i apprciate he wants us to play like barcelona, but barcelona have some of the best players in the world and finances that mean if they lose one player then can easily replace him. We need to be consistantly changing, teams know how to play against us and its as simple as press us high and we will make mistakes, teams cant do that against ICT as they hit it long to guys like foran and then surround him with their flair players like Doran and McKay to make things happen. we are too slow and predictable on the break also, nearly all our good moves involve Gary Teale, our only natural winger. He needs to change it, we have became a soft touch and far too easy to play against Im 28, ive seen some of the worst saints sides imaginable with guys like Crilly, Dunn, Robb, Lynch, Camara and Annand. Theres somehting i personally find uncomfortable about sacking a manager who has given me my greatest ever day in football (was 2 in 87) just 5 months after the event and just 3 games into a season. I also find it a bit sad the way some on here seem gleeful after defeats so they can stick the boot into Danny Lennon, and its not a new occurance, its been happening for about 18 months. They also seem excited at the prospect of Lennons job being on the line if we lose the next 2 games. IMO, i think he deserves more time, hes not invincible, but in my eyes he deserves to see out september and possibly October at the very least, I do also believe he deserves more respect for the cup win, ive seen some write the players won the cup in spite of lennon, which is frankly embarassing. Some of the names listed as possible replacements fill me with no confidence either, Shiels, Calderwood, Hughes etc

An experienced centre half is irrelevant, its a quality centre half we need, therefore ruling Haining out right away. FWIW Andy Webster would be ideal but I can't see that ever happening

Seems it is Danny Grainger according to a guy from the sun. Can't believe LS called it spot on in his PM last week

FWIW I thought Reilly looked sharp when he came on and had some lovely touches. Disappointed with Harkins, Goalie was poor but the speed in which Lex was on this forum after every goal showed he was desperate to criticize the keeper to back up his view. McGregor won a lot in the air and was sharper than I expected him to be, I'm amazed at the amount of elbows their big striker got away with. It also shows how far out the picture Lee Mair is that we brought on an untested centre half to play at right back ahead of him. A striker and left back needed urgently IMO.

I wouldnt imagine Doris would have accepted a one year deal. He got 2 years at dundee, i imagine the wages wont be a million miles apart,as he would have started as back up for us but will probably be a first choice for dundee and its also a lot closer to home for him. Doris doesnt sign, and Lex states he would have been a good bit of value. If Doris had signed lex would have pointed to Wardlaw, McQuade etc as a reason we shouldnt sign guys like that and it is a waste of money. More attempts by Lex to have a go at the manager. sad really and extremely transparent.

In terms of striking options, we seem to be the same boat as others Motherwell - Sutton, McHugh ICT - McKay, Sutherland Ross Cnty - Glen, Wolfharth Dundee Utd - Goodwillie, Graham Hibs - Caldwell, Handling Killie - Heffernan, McKenzie Hearts - Stevenson, Carrick Nearly every team, at this stage only has one experienced player and one younger player. St Johnstone and Aberdeen being the exceptions and even Hibs who only have 2 young guys.

We have Thommo, Teale, Goodwin, Van Zanten, Mair and Harkins all either very late 20s or in their 30s. Cheesy, Barron, McLean, Gowser have all played 50-100 SPL games. I wouldn't say we are short on experience. We just need a couple of better players, whether they are 20 or 33 is irrelevant

good luck to him, started very well but the dip after his first month or so was very alarming wonder if this will result in the signing of Steven Doris?

Craig Burley has never been 'alright'......
