Well doing our best to support Killie's title challenge. Having all four of the big teams in first-fourth would give the game away. Better one of us flies under the radar for a while...

This is totally going to be one of those "Rose does the donkey work"-type posts, but I thought he had a very decent game last night. He covered a lot of spaces, made a number of important challenges to break up play and win the ball back, and allowed Campbell and Turnbull some licence to roam and press. Much like McHugh, I think Rose does that role very well, and last night was no exception. Agreed about Grimmy though, fit as a butcher's dog that lad, what a shift he put in.

Loan to buy, surely?

This is just about the single best description of football that I've ever seen.

Halcyon days! Only lost out to the magical Steven McGarry in the "most improved player" stakes.

Us fans personally? Nah. I think it was agreed that John Spencer would sort them all out.

I'm not too bothered either way as we're more than capable of being either Aberdeen or Killie. As it's turned out, facing Aberdeen without three of their key players will do quite nicely. We've had their measure so far this season, so you've got to assume the team will be up for it and confident of a result. Looking forward to a cracking day out and a real shot at the final.

That pretty much sums up my take on it too. Treating one of the kids differently because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism. So much of the criticism reeks of people who would have no issue if the kid wearing the hoody had been white. But totally agree that for any company it’s not so much about the right or wrong but how it will be perceived.

So THAT'S what Jake Taylor looks like!

I wonder if that means there's some other news imminent?

Is Charles Dunne the one with the man bun? If so, get him to f**k. Can't be having that kind of shit at Motherwell. Cracking play for our first goal.

Thing is, how often over the past 15 years or so, have we appointed a manager with a record you could look at and be confident in? Barraclough and Gannon both had fairly decent records I think, albeit at a lower level. But Butcher, Malpas, McGhee, McCall and Robinson all had patchy records or none to speak of. I'd argue that Craig Brown is the only successful manager we've had with a proven record since probably the turn of the century. So moderate success, to me anyway, isn't about what a manager has done before. As long as someone comes in with the right ideas, gets a reaction on the pitch, and is able to learn from their mistakes, as I'd argue Robinson has so far, I don't care if they've had a glittering 30-year managerial career or this is their first gig.
