Hursty

Pretty sure we will win this. 1-2. Forrest and McCowan

I suggested on that SRE page that if Moore is stalling on a deal and wants to leave I'd let him go and promote McKenzie up a slot, using the wage elsewhere. Got slaughtered but I stand by it

Stats suggesting we are absolutely pumping them but the fact we have had a strong wind advantage and its only 2-0 gives me the fear. Hopefully get a 3rd before the inevitable Trouten goal

Doesnt seem too windy the now which is good. Nervous about the line up announcement - in the away game we tore them apart at the back with Moff dropping deep / wide from CF and Forrest / McCowan switching and moving all over the place. If as I fear we go 2 up with Moore and Moff I can just see the 2 strikers being crowded out by an Andy Graham inspired back 4 and things getting very frustrating

Mine always does that - have to click 'next' from the 2nd name box rather than try to press the email box if that makes sense. Works that way.

More likely the other way round

Was trying to make that point to my old man as he was ranting on yesterday - in the last month or so Arbroath have pumped Inverness 3-0 and drawn with Dundee, two results better than anything we have managed this season against those sides. Yes I know we were pish etc but taken in isolation a draw with Arbroath on a shocker of a night is hardly the disaster some are making it. Incidentally he was having none of it and thinks that if Kerr doesnt get sacked we wont win another game all season and will be relegated by March but at least I tried haha

Aye. I know a lot of folk don't wan't Kerr but surely it was more weather related than boycotting due to the manager - we had something like 5 wins in 24 games from December to May last year and crowds never dropped anywhere near that low - have folk really chucked it already after 4 defeats in 7? Not playing well but not exactly getting hammered week in week out either.

I'd say Saturday will be a good indicator - we could theoretically play the same XI and formation as we did when hammering Alloa away - will be interesting to see how many changes in personnel / style we go with and see the end result.

The team I'd play and it's actually incredible how much we need to win this game. 1-1

That 2nd one was my favourite game of that season by some distance. Pishing with rain, had thought the league was by just a few weeks previously and we hammered them. Always thought it was very impressive that Shankland got the first goal in all 4 meetings that season - big game player. He is shite now of course haha

Only thing on the line up for me is that I'd have liked to see McGuffie as a straight swap for McCowan and keep trying to play the same way as we have been. As soon as we go down the 4-4-2 with a non wide man out wide route we look very very ordinary

That was all very similar to the first few months of the year, with a 4-4-2 and a central midfielder shunted out wide. Absolutely dreadful. Draw would probably have been fair had their keeper not made that superb save with seconds left, but on the other hand their win was hardly a robbery. Longest I've seen of McKenzie and he looked pretty useful, certainly did more than Moore or Moffat did. Forrest was absolutely non existent, but he does seem far better in the more attacking role rather than just as a left midfielder.

That was the last game I was at and ticket didn't get scanned that day - I've got a couple more on my account that I bought for my old man and they got scanned and have a checked in time etc against them now. But it does seem like I could have done exactly what you say if I had wanted to. That cant be a good thing if it's that easy. After tonight's performance I kind of wish I had saved my £18 haha

Well there obviously going to know now when you have posted on here. I'd rather they knew. It's a massive flaw in what should be a good system

Not sure how to multi quote but I've paid for both tickets ie Inverness and Dunfermline. Got them both on my account both still showing as unused as neither have been scanned. Thought I'd try the Inverness one out of interest when I saw there were no scanners. So f**k you with your claims of cheating the club out of money mate. Just a concern that some folk may realise its that easy and just WhatsApp the same ticket to all their pals etc and get in for free.

We HAVE to be losing money on this ticket system. I got in using my ticket from the Inverness game which still hasn't been scanned. All for it but folk will rip the hole out that if they get word.

He was listed as a sub down at QoS as well. I wasnt there so no idea if he was actually on bench or not though

Steven Bell now injured again according to the preview. So much for the break giving us a chance to get folk back from injury@

Think this will finish 2-1. Absolutely no idea which way though. I think going so long without seeing us play, coupled with the last performance being the standard defeat at QoS is making me begin to doubt that we are actually half decent these days.

I'd imagine given the chance Moore would go given the wage rise. I'd be astonished if any of the rest mentioned did, as I think they will have far better options when they come to leave. Harvie will definitely go higher, Forrest as well. The loan guys we have no control over but I cant see any reason that Rangers or Celtic would want to pull their players from their current situation and throw them at Thistle. They aren't daft.

Ah got you now. Suppose it depends the contract - Murdoch supposedly due back fit in the summer so I'd happily see him sign until the end of next season now with the obvious gamble being that he is back at his best by August and we at least get a season out of him, rather than 4 or 5 games as we seem to be getting out of Moore. Anyone going to Thistle the now needs their head examined anyway.

Moore is a strange one. I've always liked him and would definitely want him to stay, but most people I know that go to games think he is somewhere between average and useless. Did think it was strange that Kerr mentioned a few weeks ago that he wanted him to stay and yet nothing had happened. The board / McCall seemed to get plenty stick in the summer for wasting a 6 month contract on him so seems harsh to now say we should have been offering a long term deal at the time - I'm not even convinced he would have been in the team right now if McCall was still here.

I'm probably just being daft but what's the connection between the two?

Secretly you probably do, so that you can complain about it...
