I think he crossed a line with his ‘snakes in the dressing room’ comment, but in reality, he’s not worth worrying about. He also recently character-assasinated Boyata when he was in some sort of dispute with Celtic. Something along the lines of he should never be allowed to play for Celtic again, and the Celtic shirt doesn’t shrink to fit inferior players. He’s a prick with a microphone. Not even a funny, witty, or insightful one who contributes much of note to any discussion. If I were our captain though, next time I saw him at a game, I’d have a quiet word in the dickhead’s ear, but there should be no more than that.

This morning I’m not getting texts from OF supporting mates laughing at our latest ‘gubbed in under thirty minutes’ debacle. Feels good.

So, the controversy amounted to the referee sending off a Celtic player, booking Scott Brown, ignoring a Jack Baird prolonged shirt-pull, turning a blind eye to Hodson maybe leaving a boot on Forrest, awarding St Mirren many free kicks, an assistant flagging a late Sellik winner offside, not awarding them a penalty, not even a dodgy free kick in a dangerous position... I know, I can’t believe it either. Forty years I’ve watched us, forty years of ‘Nakamura free kicks’ or worse. I’m still reeling. What spell did Oran’s magician weave on the officials?

I think Coulson was playing the ‘fresh legs and take some time off the clock making the substitution’ position.

Against any other team in this league, every one of them, including the Sevco EBT FC, I’m sure we would have been more adventurous. Against them though (just look at their brilliant quick counter attack goal against Sevco recently), it probably would have went badly. Kearney did exactly what was needed under tonight’s set of circumstances. Pride restored and a point against an ugly. Fine by me.

Haaaa. The cnut is deluded!

Anton Ferdinand never knew most of his team-mates names and was not match fit. Edwards never knew most of his team-mates names and has just arrived. Our new boss was making a huge step up to full time management and as above, hardly even knows the players names. We were playing the Champions with top quality players. We have been shipping four in under thirty minutes and have been out before it’s half-time. Our record against that mob is hardly stellar, a 7-0 gubbing would not have been unthinkable. ... and we got a point. Personally, I’d have been happy had we just looked a bit more organised and had tried our best. Bloody great point...Sutton, you wank.

^^^ Very much this. Against their quality and pace, and skilled front men, would have been foolish for us to go gung-ho against their ten men, and leave ourselves open to swift counter attacks. A gutsy, battling, deserved point. Let’s not forget, when it was still 11 v 11, it was US who made the best chances and had efforts on goal. Also, and I need a lie down, a referee who pretty much gave us everything going. I’m still in shock at that aspect. Well played everyone, well played Oran Kearney. I’m pleased for Brian Rice too. Fcuk off Chris Sutton you Celtic apologist knobcheese.

Celtic aren’t on their A game, which the diddy club always needs, aside fom playing well themselves. I’ve seen this movie before though. One, or both, of these things are almost certain to happen... Edwards slides into a tackle and gets sent off, or Rogic scores a last-minute winner in another heartbreak loss... the first forumster to use the phrase ‘they were there for the taking’ should be shot. Of course, in predicting this gloom and doom scenario, I am hoping to fend off the situation whereby me actually saying ‘we will do this’ merely results in the haw-maws being booted.

Just Sutton really, but he’s a prick. Craigan was more balanced, and Ally was just Ally... befuddled.

At home under the weather, so watching BT Sport. Pre-game build up just finished. I’ve said this a few times in the past, but here goes again, with feeling.... Chris Sutton is a contemptable gobshite. An utter, utter fcuktard. Shut the fcuk up you complete prick.

Have you ever been in a Turkish men’s sauna?

I'm hurt. I only thought it was a bit gash. Like some of Stubbs signings.

It’s six points, awarded when the ball gets into the endzone, either carried in, or caught when thrown. The opportunity then exists for the extra point kick to be scored. Or, if the situation merits it, a two-point conversion can be attempted instead. Articulate enough for you? Do I win a prize?

What about it Doc? A helluva’ lucky boy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45503501

I did pick up some good stories from Brian Rice about his playing days under Cloughie at Forest though. Clough makes John Yogi Hughes look sane and normal.

All fair and relevant questions. None of which we can answer. I should have chinned GLS, Fitzy, and Brian Rice at the golf day.

When Brian Caldwell got the Shrewsbury job, it was what he was doing at St Mirren that got him the gig. Clearly, Gus isn’t a ‘technical director’ but if we advertised the job, who would actually apply for it that could send in their CV and say ‘yes, I’ve been technical director at so-and-so FC for the past five years and am ready for a new challenge’. Cannae’ see the postbox at FeegieField bulging with experienced applicants. If GLS, Fitzy, and indeed Kearney, are happy with Gus, happy with the fact there’s a genuine need for it, and it will aid Kearney and shape a better club, then fine with me. I haven’t a scooby how many backroom staff a top flight football club needs, but I cannot imagine GLS merely creating an imaginary vacancy for a mate. Why would he do that? Why would Kearney accept it? Why would Gus entertain it? Say what you like about Gus, I think he’s a football man who has his pride. Anyway, GLS and Fitzy are charged with making the big calls, so let them crack on with this one... can Gus still do a turn in defence?

So. Defender who has played dahn South. Reasonable pedigree. Reasonably high profile. People will have heard of him. Has been playing regularly. Seems to be fit. Would be a minor coup for St Mirren.... welcome to St Mirren Mo Camara Anton Ferdinand. I’ll get my bunnet coat on the way out.

She should be hammered for calling the umpire a liar and a thief. If I was him, I’d get my lawyers onto her.

Quick question. From what we know, does Oran Kearney strike anyone as being a fool? An idiot? Second question. Does he come across as the kind of guy who, when his nose might have been put out of joint at missing out to Stubbs first time around, is likely to up sticks with family in tow, but now having got a full time crack at management, will sheepishly allow Gus MacPherson / Jimmy Nichol / A.N. Other to be the organ grinder while he is merely the dancing monkey? Some of the shite posted on here. Honestly. I should know too, I don’t half post some shite myself, but come to grips.

Part of me hopes we bring Gus in this afternoon, just to see some blowhards on here spontaneously self-combust and attempt to melt their ST cards with Swan Vestas.

Maybe because we’ve just appointed a young manager making a step up to a higher standard of football in a different country, and have just bagged a manager after a few games for reasons that clearly are not just results based. Maybe the thinking is the new guy needs an experienced assistant and the club needs a new off-the-field direction as a top flight outfit. Goodness gracious, imagine trying to introduce some realism into the situation. I should stick to crap jokes and the NFL. ...aye you should, says the forum, collectively.

Maybe a Queens Park director went into Gus’ office yesterday and said ‘guess what, we’ve just sold the stadium’, and Gus thought ‘fcuk sake, not again’.

Last night I watched a superb Los Angeles Rams side administer a gubbing to Jon Gruden’s Oakland Raiders. The Rams head coach is 31 year old Sean McVay. One of his main assistants is 71 year old defensive co-ordinator Wade Phillips. A guy who has been in the game for fifty years and has had head coaching jobs himself. However, this is very much Sean McVay’s team, and he is a smart cookie...with experience around him. So, to summarise, it’ll be Oran’s team, but Gus will be handy for advice on third downs and spreading the field in red zone situations. I’m all over this.
