I see yer Aberdeen da's raging on twitter.

Great stats, thanks for this. It just confirms what a terrible SC record Livingston have. You could quite easily argue that we are the biggest underperformers over the last 15 years.

Ayia Napa Alan / Ayia Napa Daz / Lexi Collector / LiviCurryCider would win in a landslide if he still posted. His contributions are sorely missed.

I was 13 when we were effectively relegated away to Dunfermline in SPL 2005/06. We led twice in the game before losing 3-2 from a Noel Hunt palm into the net. I think we would have gone to 3 points behind with 3 to play, if we had won. I was pretty upset after the game but that was a terrible team that deserved to be relegated. That led to three seasons in the championship where we didn't seriously challenge for the title at any time. We were a bit unlucky that the several good players we had during those seasons didn't play together. The Championship 2015/16 relegation felt a bit more unlucky but was aided by some very poor recruitment from Mark Burchill (Moses Duckrell, Spas Georgiev & Jordyn Sheerin) and a transfer embargo early in the Summer window. Darren Cole was made captain, Declan Gallagher went to jail and Dumbarton who finished 8th seemed to pull out wins at crucial times despite finishing with a far worse goal difference than us. Liam Buchanan and Jordan White both got 10 league goals so we really shouldn't have been in as much trouble as we were. As has been said, we got scudded 5-2 away to Stranraer in the play-off semi final first leg before the ridiculous second leg where we scored two very late goals to take the game to extra time. The second was a laser of a free kick from Halkett from the edge of the box sparking wild celebrations. Unfortunately to get back into the game we had subbed on two strikers for more defensive players meaning the team was completely unbalanced and were easily picked off by Stranraer in extra time. I remember how gutted the young guys playing for us looked after the game. I just felt sorry for them as it was clear this would be the last time a lot of them would play full-time football. For the ones we kept full-time, the rest is history. Going by these records, we are clearly heading for another relegation in 2025/26.

Didn't hear the pre match but they are going on about it again now. Dreadful.

Beat me to it. Burst out laughing when I heard him struggling.

Yes.

Would have been screaming for that myself.

Get the f**k in there. Justice done, we were the better team by far. Mullin very good again. Jon Guthrie probably the man of the match though, he absolutely strolled it.

Completely agree. Weather is atrocious, 1 goal will likely win it.

Happy to be proved wrong but that lineup has all the worst elements of the teams that lost at home to St. Mirren & Motherwell.

Is Greg Aitken the referee?

Should have been more than 2-0. We were very good, Accies were terrible. Mullin & Holt the best of the bunch for us.

I imagine that might be the idea behind giving him a deal until the end of the season, to see if it suits him and the club. Managers would only ever be on 1 year contracts with us anyway so I don't see it as a big deal.

Brown's loan is up in January. With a Lithgow return on the horizon, I could see that not being renewed to save some money.

Just watched Martindale's interview on LFCLive. Apparently looking to bring in '1 or 2' in in January with the same number of players having to move on at the same time. Don't really see in which positions we need to add players at this point, we are pretty strong across the park. More importantly, he wants to use the money we have to sign players to longer term deals.

Best St. Mirren side in 30 years, I think you can exclude them from this.

Sportsound pushing Yogi Hughes.

He is painful to listen to.

Lawson and Lithgow I'd be happy to extend for another year, if they are both interested. I imagine not for the former.

Lucky to be 2 goals up through hilariously bad defending. Need to defend better ourselves in the second half.

Is the 6pm kickoff more beneficial to both clubs simply so they can get finished earlier?
