  1. Huge game and I see no reason why we can't get a win against Hearts. The bench last Saturday looked strong and I would like to see us going for it from first minute. There really is nothing to gain by sitting back.
  2. Anything that comes out Kris Boyds mouth.
  3. I hate the timing of these friendlies. Season in full swing, clubs have a lot on the line, inevitably call offs and in all honesty he knows his squad so there aren't going to be any surprises based on performances in these games. Surely better finishing the season a week early and getting more international time in then.
  4. Yes! I see it being very similar. We have some cracking players to come off the bench and make a difference.
  5. Getting nervous now . Tickets bought pub at 11 in Glasgow train with some drinks to calm the nerves. Thinking this will be a tight one, Killie have more pressure so hoping that will mean they need to open up. Think our bench will make the difference we will go 1 down before half time and turn it round to win 2 - 1 late on for bedlam to erupt!
  6. I think attendance at both SMISA and Killie improving shows that if you play well and are performing in the league attendance will come. Personally I think there is an entitlement from the old firm that is completely unwarranted that Scottish football needs them. If we were in a 18 team league without them and competing for Europe and potentially a title we would be filling the SMISA weekly and enjoying the football more.
  7. That's my thoughts! Though I would like the highlights to be a bit more "balanced". I sometimes think it's me watching a different match when I watch them. Sky had it being a mistake by "St Mirrens" Carson for the opening goal and no highlights showing any of the Dundee fouls on Wednesday!
  8. The big difference I see is the way that people drink. https://www.thecaterer.com/news/number-uk-pubs-drops-below-100000-two-decades There is a move away from pubs to home drinking and the social element has been lost. In particular I feel for the retired generation where a few hours in the local was time out.
  9. Soon there will be very few original movies that aren't franchises. Creativity seems to getting stiffled.
  10. Agreed, all it does is add to those who have a problem by adding cost onto high unit low cost drinks that is notable whilst not having any impact on premium cost high ABV as the manufacturer is already above the minimum unit cost. This doesn't stop drinking and the sceptic in me thinks this is another way of recovering from the disaster of the deposit return scheme and tax deficit.
  11. Another stupid decision that will in my opinion only make issues worse! If it's descent then it's yellow followed by red, in fact it should be a ban if serious. "grey areas" are what makes it harder to referees. Better rules would be improved communication on the pitch, referees only dealing with captains and more importantly clarity and simplification of rules with referees getting better training and assessment on games.
  12. These rules are so awkward and there is always going to be controversy. What for example if Hart came out to clear the ball with a puch and wiped out the striker accidentally by connecting to his head is that a red card? I don't think that there's any malice and to the letter of the law it's a red , however I think a yellow consistently applied should be the punishment unless it is malicious.
  13. We seriously need reinforced in midfield. There's a player in Boyd - Munce however every time he starts he's blowing out his arse after 65 minutes. Flynn's lost his legs too unfortunately leaving us with no plan B in midfield.
  14. Given it's not a bank holiday in England I can't see the benefit of sky putting this on at 5 pm. Still I will be there expecting to see a competitive saints performance against a complacent Celtic. Thinking a draw today that will put a lot of pressure on Rodgers ahead of the winter break.
  15. Wow just wow. Reminder we are a good team who went through a sticky patch rather than a poor team that went through a lucky stint. Bring on Celtic.
  16. Sounds about right wait till the last minute then make a decision based on the pitch rather than safety of fans. I'm pretty sure the club would want this postponed.
  17. They need to get a wiggle on if they do folk will be travelling soon.
  18. I think after watching the Motherwell game in shocking weather there are a few of us hoping it's postponed! Looking like it's on so it's time for the thermals the big coat and get to the pub!!
  19. Awful game, our long ball game was never going to work in those conditions where it needed short sharp direct passes that we were incapable of playing. There's something not right with O'Hara not only is he playing poor there is also no leadership from the skipper that we saw last season. His passing was rotten and couldn't even play a decent throw in. Robo 9/10 times has been getting subs right but this time I'm afraid not. Weather definitely impacted the performance and result l, however we need a plan B when we can see plan A isn't working. Kelly is an absolute bellend. Why the referee never booked his time wasting is beyond me. Big game on Saturday now in Edinburgh where strangely I think we will get a credible draw.
  20. I hope we go with Ayunga and Stan up front and Taylor on the right again. Pace and power in the team could rip Motherwell apart. I'm thinking a 3 - 1 win for us today.
  21. I would like to see a ball winning midfielder coming into the team. Feel like we are getting outmuscled in midfield at times.
  22. That was a great second half performance in particular. Ayunga and Stav were outstanding together and to be able to replace with Mandron and Ollysanya shows the depth we have now. Let's batter Motherwell next!
  23. That livi team look destined for the drop. I can't see them surviving without old firm cash or players to sell. Dire club that offer nothing to to Scottish football.
