As we’re the best non OF team in Scotland and you’re below us, I’ll cope good luck in your relegation battle Thank you

“far right” and “gammon” appear to be interchangeable euphemisms used by the well off white middle class left to describe anyone in the working class who disagrees with them

Just reading on BBC about how the “far right” were out supporting Jews today

Excluding the OF, St Mirren are the best team in Scotland i guess that explains the extremes today Dundee fans think they’ve won the World Cup (understandable - they’ve never seen their club win a major trophy) And Saints fans thinking they are OF fans, going overboard about a defeat I go to every game in the Premiership expecting defeat We are 3rd in the league. Amazing

Some of the comments on social media are unbelievable 3rd top of the league, first league defeat of the season by a non OF side, who are in the top 6 Squad ravaged by illness One roaster was comparing it to losing 4 goals to Alloa under Coughlin When we’re in the Europa League and Dundee are back in the Championship next season, this thread will be comedy gold

I’m sitting in Paisley with a beer in hand. Watched the game for free on TV. You beat a side ravaged by sickness Good luck with your relegation battle

We’ve had a sickness bug rip through the squad. This result is pretty much expected. We’ve got the international break now to recover Good 3 points for Dundee as they’ll need them later in the season when they collapse Its a shame their supporters embarrassed themselves again today by mimicking Rangers fans and associating themselves with a sectarian organisation which triggered the troubles in Northern Ireland

You’re post is a total irrelevance! Had Carson been our keeper this season we’d have conceded more goal than we have. Had Hemming been yours you’d have conceded less. That’s because Hemming is good and Carson is a liability. That’s what is relevant!

Another great performance from Zac Hemming last night while Trevor Carson continues to drop clangers at Dens I never rated Carson, too small for a start and stated at the start of the season that I thought Hemming was an upgrade. And so it has proved

I reckon he’ll keep Olusanya on the bench for possibly having a go later on. If he does start I reckon it would in place of Mandron He’s going to keep McMenamin & Kiltie in the wide positions. They know the roles and can perform defensive duties. All IMO!

Frank McAvennie? Billy Stark? David Hay, Peter Mackie, Graeme Sinclair, Mark Reid, Lex Baillie, Jim Beattie, Ally Hunter, Dennis Connaghan, Johnny Gibson

Derek Johnstone was scoring goals frequently in that era….. in Scotland! Joe Harper was 30 and on the decline. He’d had 2 failed attempts in English football by then. Andy Gray was joint winner of England's golden boot in 77. His 29 goals helped Villa to a fourth-place finish and victory in the League Cup, and earned him the PFA Young Player of the Year and PFA Players' Player of the Year awards, a double matched by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 and Gareth Bale in 2013. At the time he was the youngest player to earn the Players' Player of the Year award, and the first player to win more than one of the official three player of the year awards in the same season. But he wasn’t even good enough to make the squad. Ian Wallace hit 20 league goals with Coventry in 77/78, he was third top scorer in England along with Dalglish. Didn’t make the squad Two strikers at their peak in England but not good enough for the 78 WC squad No wonder we bombed

He wasn’t. Scots keepers playing in England were largely overlooked (as indeed were outfield players) in favour of Rough. David Harvey was part of the great Leeds sides of the early 70s. He was Scotland’s keeper at the 1974 WC Finals and voted keeper of the tournament. He was injured in a car crash in 1975 and was never picked for Scotland again - despite going to make 130 appearances for Leeds in the top flight (and this covered the 78 WC finals where he was only aged 30 and Rough was a disaster). Jim Blyth was 23 at the 78 WC Finals and was second choice behind Rough. He was part of a quality top flight Coventry side, so much so that Man United tried to sign him for a then world record transfer fee for a keeper in 1979. It fell through when he failed a medical due to a suspect back. He made 151 top flight appearances for Coventry before transferring to Birmingham City where he suffered a bad injury, fracturing his firearm in 3 places which would eventually curtail his career. Only capoed twice. George Wood, 103 appearances for Everton, 60 for Arsenal, 192 for Crystal Palace. Only capped 4 times and went to the 82 WC Finals as a back up keeper. Would have been 26 at the 78 WC Finals (Rough was 27). Wood was a regular at Everton then but wasn’t even in the squad. As I say though, it wasn’t just keepers. Strikers like Andy Gray and Ian Wallace, at their peak and scoring regularly in England’s top flight were ignored in favour of ageing home based strikers like Joe Harper and Derek Johnstone. Alan Hansen was ignored for the squad despite winning the European Cup with Liverpool. Tam Forsyth was a starter John McGovern, league and European Cup winning captain at Nottingham Forest won zero caps.

Indeed. He’s McGregor’s deputy. If McGregor were to get injured between now and the finals, or in the finals, it’s likely McLean who will replace him. Makes complete sense to play him tonight

Kenny McLean is a quality and very experienced player. He’s got 512 career appearances and 60 goals at club level. 30 caps and 2 goals for Scotland, including the winner in Norway. McGregor is playing twice a week for his club as they’re playing in Europe. The game is a friendly. Playing McLean tonight is a no brainer!

I wasn’t far away with my prediction. Porteous out instead of Souttar and I hadn’t anticipated the Hickey injury

Ross Stewart is now at Southampton with Adams and close to a return from injury Will be interesting to see how that pans out…..

Made it down to see Glenvale go top of the 4th Division with a 3-2 win over Newmains at Feegie!

I think Clarke will give a lot of the guys on the bench a start Gunn Porteous Souttar Cooper Patterson Gilmour McLean Hickey McTominay Ferguson Adams With Armstrong, Brown & Taylor getting on from the bench

Hemming superb again today

Sorry to see Kyle Magennis out injured again until the winter break. A player who had so much potential but his career has been blighted with injury.

Superb!

Similar to Airdrie’s travelling support then?
