    Doakes got a reaction from Mainstand Sweary Mob in More redundancies. Where are you SMISA?   
    I'm happy with the way the club is being run. We're in tough economic times (everyone is), so I'd expect the accounts to reflect those conditions. But as long as we break somewhere close to even and play well on the park, it's all good, from my POV
    Stadium is certainly looking better as a result of the work from different fan groups and volunteers
    We're doing well on the park and have a strong looking squad
    Keith Lasley has been a brilliant addition to the staff, imo
    The club are starting to "get it"

    I've been following them on Twitter, as the MSM doesn't seem to want to cover them, and my understanding is that a Hindu march passed through a 'Muslim area'. Is that not the case?
     
    I think a few on here, living in the West of Scotland, might appreciate what's going on. 😆

    Now here's where I would gamble on the income from McGinn and difference in top 6 income. Get him back to Paisley on a long term deal knowing grass isn't greener else where.

    Celtic and Rangers left in shade as two Scottish Premiership rivals among 'best run clubs' - Daily Record
    I'm sure everyone will join in with a well deserved round of applause for the people running our club.

    Doakes got a reaction from waldorf34 in Hearts v St Mirren, Scottish Cup Quarter Final   
    Most encouraging thing is that the players were making themselves available and finding space. Felt like a few of them were going through the motions a bit after Goodwin left, encouraging to see the new gaffer putting his own stamp on our style of play. Should be fairly obvious to SR where we need to improve

    Really enjoyable game last night, big range of emotions in the stands
    Pre match buzz was brilliant, popped into the Grosvenor party, bar was ridiculously busy so went to the Haymarket Bar instead. Fans mixed well, was all pretty friendly. The march to the ground was brilliant, police did a good job, think they were surprised by the numbers!
    First 20-25 minutes it seemed like the players couldn't get to grips with the Tynecastle pitch (which was in great condition tbf)
    At 2-0 down it looked bleak but to come back the way that we did was impressive. I enjoyed the style of play, passing on the deck and was great to see players keen to get on the ball - movement was good.
    The 2 goals were magnificent. Technique by Brophy to flick the ball into the net was only surpassed by Ronan's thunderbolt
    Biggest concern for me was how easily Hearts were able to cut through our defence and get to the by-line. Some basis errors made that could have been avoided. Won't single out individuals but we really need to improve in the full back areas and be more switched on. 

    No complaints about the result, Hearts deserved their win.

    Agreed, as I've said, the best football we've played for quite some time, even at 2-0 I felt we were in it. 
    Aye, Brophy's goal has been overlooked a bit.
    Great move and excellent finish, certainly not easy.
