I didn't watch our last game against Motherwell but we looked a completely different side to the one that played Hearts, never mind the one that was arguably unlucky to get beat by Celtic and draw with Rangers. Apart from a 5 - 10 minute spell after half-time we were pedestrian, uninspired and toothless. Killie were quicker to the ball and played with an urgency that made we wonder how they began today at the bottom of the league. Maybe we just made them look good.

Really?! Jeezo. Scotland's shame, indeed! That really is a shocking result for Rangers. They're no great side but they're made up of professional players - and some experienced ones too - earning good money. I'm guessing the mob who beat them were part-timers. As amusing as it is, though, Rangers beat us four times out of four last season and probably will again this coming season too. I mean, they surely can't get any worse than that. Can they?!

He's past his best but I still reckon he had one more campaign left in him. I can't think of many Scottish players on the scene at the moment who are any better in his position, which is worrying.

In a heartbeat.

Good news. The Doublet is a lovely wee boozer. Mibee my mind is playing tricks but didn't they have a 'no football colours' policy a couple of years ago?

Never mind that, it's the revelation that the SNP are in favour of an independent Scottish state that has stopped me in my tracks. I had absolutely no idea.

Too right it's tempting to laugh! It's also tempting to point out what a crashingly average manager 'Brendan' is; his win record is less than 50% and other than a play-off final victory with Swansea he hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, actually won anything. The jubilation over his appointment baffled me until I remembered it's one half of the Old Firm we're dealing with, and for a segment of their support religious/ethnic background often takes precedence over actual ability. Celtic will probably win the second leg comfortably though, as well as every game they play against us this coming season and most probably the league itself. Until then though... :lol:

Chances are, the Scottish climate being as it is, the game will be postponed anyway - leading to it being played sometime in February, in the middle of the week. Very disappointed about this, I really look forward to my Boxing Day fitba'.

Oh good lord!

Interesting that the government decided to extend the deadline. I think this one could be close.

Great result and good performance from the team today. Just what was needed after last weekend's atrocious performance. Archie's tactical abilities are often called into question on this forum but I thought his decision to man-mark Josh Magennis - a player who has ran riot against us in the past - was a master stroke. Magennis is a powerful, pacey but technically limited player. Bar one occasion in the second half, wee Dumbaya stuck to him like a limpit, meaning Magennis had to try and use skill to escape him (he couldn't) or attempt audacious shots from outside the area. The downside was it nullified Dumbaya's attacking instincts somewhat but in the end it didn't matter, not when Lawless and Doolan - who worked his socks off, as ever - took their chances as well as they did. An almost complete contrast to last week. Another season of top flight fitba to look forward too - and that wee nyaff Clark's gas well and truly put a peep in the process. All in all a good day, I reckon.

Gutted. One point, just one measly point and we would have been in the top six. Ach well, we'll just need to 'win' the bottom six now.

Aw f*ck, Abdul sent off!

Apparently some Tories don't care what they f*ck: https://youtu.be/FBpQJ98rR4o I just wonder who's going to save Dave's bacon.

Dropping two points against Killie and three against Dundee - two games we ought to have won - look like they are going to come back and haunt us. Massive game coming up next weekend against Motherwell, followed by games against Dundee Utd, St Johnstone and Hamilton. We should be capable of picking up about eight points from those four fixtures but it is hard to see where the goals are going to come from at the moment.
