WeeBud

We're scoring plenty, just keep the back door locked

I agree with Morgan being half fit on Saturday although should be a week fitter this week. We've scored two goals in each of our last two games and managed one draw.........I think to concentrate a wee bit on our defensive side would be prudent.

I wouldn't play him at full back...........I love his directness and his desire to drive the game forward but he worries me defensively. If he plays left-back he has Morgan ahead of him, a direct and forward thinking player and I think that would leave us exposed.

Even more-so when you consider that both posters, I believe, are members of the same committee.

The other view may be that others are "profiting" from the terrorist threat, the previous "drop-off" was created after the attack on Glasgow Airport as part of the "security" measures.

I'd agree that it's healthy and correct for the club to propose ideas and for the SMiSA committee to listen to and discuss the ideas, it is then for the committee to decide whether these ideas should go in front of "their" membership. If the committee are doing nothing other than "taking instruction" from the club then they are not operating in an "independent" manner and that is something that would need fixing. If, however, ideas are put in front of the committee and the committee, further to debate and discussion, decide in a democratic manner to put them to "their" membership then that is right and proper. Only those that are on the committee will truly know if this is the case. If it is the case I would find it pretty unpalatable that "committee members" were then washing their dirty laundry in public because they weren't getting their own way.....time will tell I suppose.

And as if by magic............................

And the OP quite directly mentions and references the "SMiSA" membership in his opening post. Until I hear something substantial that would give me due concern I would suggest "General Nonsense", "Rumour-Mill" or "Speculation" but heigh-ho I don't mind too much as i'll read it whichever section it is in.

Whether they would react the same way or not is irrelevant Kendo, it is in contravention of the rules and it is what provoked the chaos. McGregor will also be done as what he did was also against the rules, whether he makes contact is again irrelevant, he lead with his head. I agree we need to stamp out simulation but again it has no relevance to the rights and wrongs of this situation in light of current rules. The Morton thug will rightly be banned and with any luck will get extra games for his simulation (don't hold your breath though!!)

I think it's a bit 50/50, Lennon had no right being on the pitch, and he was, after the Morton player went down. It wasn't a proper head-butt but McGregor will get done as he did lead with his head. Lennon then goes to have a right go at the Morton player and Duffy charges in. Had Lennon managed to let the ref do his job neither management team would have got involved, Duffy then didn't cover himself in glory although I did like his last comment re "what happens next" when he says "I don't know as I've never been in this situation before, maybe you should ask Lenny"

Came back against Ayr United and TNS from a goal behind winning both.

Sooper-Dooper Human Rankpuller!!

I agree but that thought might be for a different day as contracts generally have a "term" length.

Is it possible that the club are in a commercial contract with the company that runs the shop and therefore only they can make use of the opportunity?

Although I agree with what you've said I think it would be fair to say that had we started the season with Jack Ross and the current squad we wouldn't be fannying around with relegation

Incorrect, please see above

Dillon didn't have to leave the pitch as the player who fouled him (Morgan) was booked

I think it was pretty cleverly worked IrvineBuddie and straight off the training ground. From our seats we could see Loy and a couple of others peel off to the back making it all look like it was a deep free-kick Their defenders went with them and I think that took Bell, and his concentration, away from the front post. The best bit is that on reading the match thread at home last night someone suggested it was just a cross that everyone missed and bounced in at the near post!!

McGinn was suffering from illness last week but asked to be considered for selection............I'd agree he didn't shine but didn't think the game passed him by either. Hopefully recovered by Wednesday night.

Don't really disagree LPM but I don't believe any of us know what conversations re "expectations" etc have gone on between GLS and Jack Ross or what the consequences for the current management team may be should they not realise the board's expectations. There has certainly been rhetoric around about our situation but what business truly opens itself to having those conversations in public. With regards to the so-called "JR's team" I would consider that the Dunfermline away draw as the start of seeing his players on the park. I have been at every game since and with the exception of Falkirk at home I'd say we've done OK, no better and no worse. That would be 3 wins, two away draws (to teams in reasonable form) and a disappointing home loss but in general and OK return and certainly a lot better than what had gone before it.

It was even worse for the Hamilton Scottish Cup tie, the goalies were up to their ankles in mud and they had tried sanding the goalmouths.

And missed a penalty which could/should have been 5 in the half

The pitch at East End Park is a shocker especially in the goalmouths.

OK, what claims are you concerned about with zero hours contracts (the bit you brought up)?

What kind of claim ?? You're mixing up zero hours contracts and NMW/NLW issues. Paying below NMW is illegal, utilising zero hour contracts (although in some cases immoral) isn't.
