Perhaps we could recreate his podcasts using a silouetted actor with a bogging Lanarkshire accent, like the beeb used to do with Gerry Adams.

The "offending" post has been deleted, either by the Mods acting on their own or at the request of somebody on here, don't know which.
You have a dig because the Only Accies guys have gone into hiding after that result yesterday and somebody takes offence.
A fucking joke.
The guy's a broadcaster FFS. He puts his mug out there & associates it with the football team.
Very interested to read the mod's justification for the deletion.

Anyways, back to the important stuff...

Seems like exactly the kind of good, honest, roll your sleeves up attitude Accies need to get them out of this league over the next shree months.

I find it fairly easy to differentiate between the genuinely concerned posts(fair enough), the 'traumatised from recent seasons' knicker-wetting(also, fair enough) and the rather blatant DPB friends & family fluffer accounts.

Could be someone flushed their pet python or crocodile down the toilet when it got to big and its been happily living there for years growing in size on take-aways and street dogs until a storm named by the Norwegians comes along or it could just be the sewers are choc full to the brim with jobbies trying to escape. This was 15 minutes ago, you'll probably already know the answer to that by now and are fighting all of the above with kitchen utensils, maybe all of the above at once.
Which begs the question: Which kitchen utensils would be most effective at repelling attack by crocodile, snake or jobby?
Have any P&Bers ever had to fight off reptiles or faeces using nothing but common household implements?

Imagine what we'd do to them if they didn't have Bobby Wales.

Taking (quite rightly) the 1 game at a time viewpoint to one side for a minute. We all know there are loads of ups and downs still to come this season (see Edinburgh away!). I had some spare time on my hands this morning and thought I'd look at what it takes points wise historically to win this league.
If you are not a statto, probably best ignore this and move on to the next post!
Over the past 10 years (ignoring the 2 covid years) it has taken an average of 80 points to win this league (this includes the Rangers 102 points which skews it up a bit).
Over the past 5 years (excluding covid) it has taken 77 points.
What's probably just as important is to see how many points the team that finished second ended up with (ie what you actually need to get automatically promoted). Over the past 10 years the average is 66 points, and over 5 years its 68 points.
The highest winning points totals in the past 10 years were Rangers (102) and QoS (92). The lowest being just 69 points (Morton I think?). In the past 5 years its been 81 points (highest) and 70 points (lowest). For 2nd place the highest in 10 years has been 75 points and lowest has been 61 points.
We have played 21 games so far and are on 53 points. Averaging an excellent 2.5 points per game (higher than the Pars 2.25 per game last season). Continuing at this points rate would mean a finish of 90 points. Hamilton are on 44 points after 20 games so also a very impressive 2.2 points per game. If they continue to score points at this rate for the rest of the season they will finish on 79 points. (which on an "average" year would also win the league).
At the moment, and this changes with every set of matches, I think it's looking like we might need about the 80 points mark to gain automatic promotion. So another 27 points or 9 wins from our last 15 games. 7 of those 15 games are at home. Obviously the games versus Hamilton will be more important, beat them and the totals go down. I think the points totals needed could be above average this year as ourselves and Hamilton are further ahead of the rest as things stand.
PS what got me thinking about this was the 6 points deduction Edinburgh received yesterday as it officially meant we couldn't be automatically relegated (sad stattos think about these things!)
25 wins (9 from 15) & we're there.

Herbert Coward. The name may be unfamiliar. His most famous movie lines may be better known. In 'Deliverance' he uttered the immortal "He got a real purty mouth, don't he..?"
He is now dead.
On January 24, 2024, Coward, his girfriend Bertha Brooks, and their pet Chihuahua were killed in a highway collision in Haywood County, North Carolina. Neither Coward nor Brooks were wearing seatbelts. He was 85.
RIP, rat-dog.

The insurance policy being a youth coach who has never managed in his life? That has never gone wrong before.
Lots of things have gone wrong before. In fact, pretty much everything.
His positive influence behind the scenes has been well documented and he would be an option, should McGlynn lose the dressing room.

Think that's a good signing really, cover for the middle that could potentially see mcginn leaving for a coaching role.
I think it would be a good idea to keep McGinn, with his coaching ambitions, on our books for the time being. Just in case February doesn't go so well, it would be a decent insurance policy.
Just saying.

We binned him last week because he had a stinking attitude. About average ability but thinks he is way better than he actually is.

Accies only asked him out for a laugh, didn't really fancy him.
