Has anyone seen the Livingston v St Mirren match thread?
Impressive win for Livi last week, going up to Dingwall and winning 4-1. Will be the usual well drilled unit and difficult to play against. I do fancy us to sneak a result here though. Going to predict 2-1 Saints provided we start with McAllister.
I take it you did not watch Sportscene highlights if not try YouTube. Ross County's defence was horrendous the worst I have seen in a long time. If County dont sort that out they will go down.

These 4 give over 30/1.....................................
Adding Falkirk takes it to just over 50/1.
Someone will let it down but will be watching tonight's games with intrest on TV.

More interest in Rangers and "seats" than the team.
Hope we win this game, could see a total meltdown on the forum as it's all over the place right now.
Livingstone are 5/6, Saints 10/3 with the draw 5/2.
Not a lot of faith by the bookies, what do they know.
You put me in the mood for a coupon not done one for yonks. Dundee United, ICT , Saints, Dunfermline ( sorry F.S , Falkirk. Fingers crossed it's a good return.

My post was questioning the judgment of John Lennon from the era he wrote the song "God" and more generally as a leader. Most of the people and religions he lists in the song as not believing in were people and movements he promoted in the 60's at one point or other before changing his mind again.
"I just believe in me.
Yoko and me.
That's reality".
He was a heroin addict during the time he was writing his first solo album, and then trying to kick that habit and did primal scream therapy. A year before writing God Lennon had convened a meeting at Apple and announced to everyone there that he was Jesus. Pete Doggett's book on the Beatles' break up and their financial wrangles which continued from the break up until his book was published in 2009, highlights the fact that Apple was set up as a 1960's tax evasion scam with Lennon (and the others) wanting to hide money offshore, Lennon brought in Allen Klein to sort out Apple's finances and then insisted on hiring him as the Beatles' manager (one of the central events leading to the break up of the band when McCartney refused to agree). The same guy who wrote "Imagine" and the lines about "Imagine no possessions" lived in a mansion (and recorded the song there in his home studio) and was hiding money offshore, later he would give money to the IRA at the same time as campaigning to give peace a chance and was violent towards both wives and negligent towards both his sons. Even after he had officially gone cold turkey Doggett points out that several political activists in the mid-late 70s who had hoped to get Lennon behind their causes dropped their interest in having him promote their causes because he was privately still addicted to hard drugs and was too unreliable or incapable to be of much practical help to them. It would seem that he let Yoko and her astrologers run his life for him for much of the 70s when he and Yoko were together.
If we return to the last few lines of the song: "I just believe in me. Yoko and me. That's reality". I genuinely pity anyone thinking that John Lennon hit the nail on the head with the song "God" and called it correctly. Years later John Lennon phoned a TV evangelist and asked for prayer and made some sort of commitment before Yoko banned him from following things up... and then one of the last songs Lennon wrote was his dig at Dylan's conversion, "Serve Yourself".
You'd be hard pushed to find a bigger hypocrite or someone who changed their mind as wildy and as often as John Lennon did... and I say this as someone who has all the Beatles official releases and plenty of bootlegs and most of their solo work.
I'm a Beatles fan also with all their albums A Ringo album a good few McCartney and Lennon sadly no Harrison. Simple understandable lyrics to catchy tunes. Going off here on another direction luv the Beatles.

What are the chances of us getting Lewis Morgan back on loan?
Heard he's been struggling so far this season for Celtic so they may opt to send him out on loan again.
Morgan has been out and in the team. From what I have heard from season ticket holders he has played very well on most games he has played. Though they tell me they have too many players as a work in progress.

does the fact that you are a former DJ tar you with the same brush as Jimmy Saville?
Prince Andrew and Jimmy Savile were they acused ? As a young man spinning records that's what it was for me all about the music. As for sex only with females who wanted to be with me and I with them. Never paid for sex or be with someone I or they did not want to. It's more meaningful and enjoyable when two partners want each other. These days are long gone been with my wife for over 30 plus years.

Big man busts a gut for our club.

Prince Andrew goes to church every Sunday a shining light for christianity.

Just words
These people on matchday drink openly in the street in full view of the police
Also pish openly in the street
Correct me if i'm wrong i'm sure both are against the law
So don't expect clubs to do anything when the law of the land does nothing
Agree but you have the Scotland manager speaking out about it is a good thing he is the nearest thing to the SFA.

Jim said it would be beneficial to the club to have a scout down south & In Ireland. Jim mentioned £100 a game. Would love to see some of the £2.00 spend used for this. As Jim pointed out the Scottish market is small and limited. Anyone else for it ?

Stevie Clarke speaking out saying both old firm clubs need to stamp out bigots. If you religiously abuse someone on the street you get arrested yet you do the same thing in a football ground it's ok. Well done Stevie Clark. On BBC news.

The stats show that games against Livvy are very difficult to predict. They will also be full of confidence after a very good away win.
Still.. Looking forward to the game.
Wont be easy we will need to work hard to win. Thing is I'm so confident Jim Goodwin's team will bust a gut for him. Fans will soon realise this will be one of those successful periods that come along every so often. Luv it'a

When I seen the Livie score on Saturday it was a surprise. When watching the highlights it was how bad were R.C. defence shocking stuff. A game we can win

I would broadly agree. When we broke, there was little pace on offer and some players were trapping a ball further than I could kick it. So it won't be long before most of the other clubs suss that we are happy to sit deep and still lack a credible scoring threat.
It's really hard to see where goals will come from
Goodwin's tactics for me were spot on in our first three games. Who would have thought we would be sitting with 3 points and 2 goals against. Goodwin has said our games with rivals will be completely different from our perspective in other words attacking.

This bullshit of giving the old firm two stands has to stop NOW. Thing is it is only us the fans who can do something about it so suggestions on a post card. As a member SMISA has been a huge let down regarding this.

I'm probably alone in this but I just can't get up for this game at all.
All I can think about is seeing the self-inflicted two full stands of gloating Rangers fans dominating our own ground and I feel physically sick at the thought of us whoring ourselves in front of the cameras.
You should go along if you can though I fully understand where you are coming from. It really needs to stop the voices that should stand up for the fans cant be heard.

47 pages and I'm sure more to go. Though if we get all three points today this thread will disappear into the sunset.

£425 I think the line is in my wife's purse. I put it in Landbrooks the only bookie on the island.
