Ye Olde Hamiltonian

One good season and they are now worldbeaters...but not in Wales it seems.

How are the two young Accies players playing folks? Cheers for the replies.

I thought Accies second half performance was our best for eons and as usual not getting a clincher cost us as Ross County were always going to pile on the pressure at 2-1. Another game with no natural right back and a dreadful Keeping error cost us.

This game is already a Must Win as if Ross County go eight points in front,we will never catch them even at this early stage. Thus,a big incentive for the Staggies although I don't recall us losing three in a row under Rice and expect a battling performance -unlike last Saturday. Rice probably had one eye on this game judging by his team selection on Wednesday and there will be a few changes as is always the case.

Relegation would be much worse.We have to hang in there until January and get bodies in who can play midfield and one for right back. No excuses for having no back up right back and the midfield or lack of it which helped to bring down Canning-will be the downfall of Rice as he is making the same mistakes and playing powderpuff players who can't dominate any form of possession ensuring we are creating very little and putting pressure on the back line. That game should have been an easy 3 or 4 goal away win and our only hope was a half chance once Davies came on it a free kick. There are ways of losing games and that wasn't it.Poorest Aberdeen away support I have seen here although that is understandable due to Sunday and the fans attitude towards McInnes.Not that long ago they brought more on a Wednesday night than a Saturday here and they always used to bring good numbers midweek,so their fan base must be right pissed off. Must win on Saturday if only to delay the inevitable for a few more weeks.Rice talks the talk and says all the right things but then does the opposite in games.

There are three certainties in life:death,taxes and Accies losing in Perth. Decided to take the dog to Linn Park,Glasgow instead of the game (mostly due to being skint at the minute) as I knew what was coming having witnessed many demoralizing defeats in Perth over the last 42 years-deserved or undeserved. Never checked any scores/internet as wanted to do a "Likely Lads" and watch the game on Alba unaware of events when I arrived back shortly before six.Sadly,no surprise as the midfield is -like under Canning-the worst in the League by a country mile and lets the rest of the team down. Some bizarre subs by Rice:bringing on a past it McKinnon and Moyo a guy who makes Bingham look prolific.After looking like sneaking an undeserved point,it was no surprise to see ball watching for the winning goal. A lot of anger on Accies forums but I take a more philosophical view as we always lose in Perth and it will be typical Accies to win versus Aberdeen on Wednesday night. The way we were bossed about in midfield was more concerning than the inevitable defeat and there better be a backlash as to meekly surrender bringing the bottom sides back into it is typical Accies.

Derek Adams and his Dad trying to sit inconspicuous in the Accies end...the vultures are indeed circling it seems.

Nothing to worry about as you are our eternal bogey team since the late 1970's,so expect your first home win.

Accies to do what we usually do and give a team/player in need of a boost a lift or a goal...cue Doidge then us to equalise for another 1-1 which seems to be the Hibs scoreline of choice these days.

Football players in doing the opposition team talk for them shocker.When will they ever learn?

As soon as I saw that team I knew what was coming and Canning has been slated for less for that. A game where you need an outlet from the constant pressure so what does Rice do...only plays the one striker we have who can't hold the ball up and this Steve Davies stuff perhaps could have some truth in it as why would you have a guy doing the media build up for the game and then have him nowhere near the pitch? I would rather do what Livvy did at I Ibrox a few weeks ago and have a go as you are going to get beat anyway and the Rangers central defence don't like it up them as Dykes has proved,so at least give them something they have to work for. That game was lost as soon as Livvy beat Celtic and it is the manner of the defeat which is a disgrace allowing a glorified training session which wouldn't have happened under Alex Neil who would have made them fight for the three points rather than that pathetic surrender.

Scott McMann is an easy target for too many of our fans who see him as a scapegoat while others get off "scott free".

£29 a ticket,£22 concessions =Hesgoals.com which is a shame as after our recent run I and many others fancied going but not at those rip off prices.

After a couple of decent results for Accies,was tempted to go to Ibrox until I saw the prices for next weekend,so Hesgoals.com it will be for most- unless they buy the reduced price tickets which are also a rip off. One of my neighbours-Celtic Season Book holder of many years- was telling me Saturday cost him £32.This madness must stop and it doesn't help when idiots on Social Media lambast small away supports from whatever team without looking at WHY many fans refuse to pay those prices and don't travel. A boycott by Old Firm away fans sadly for them won't work as there are too many idiots who would jump in and pay the prices. Perhaps if this campaign fails it may be time in the future to think of more extreme measures but that is a conversation for way in the future.

He has still not taken the bye kick,so a few hours yet methinks. A good point for us considering we played 45 minutes with ten men in that energy sapping heat which entailed a backs to the wall performance second half. I don't get how St.Mirren fans expected anything different as we were up against it and have played more attacking in recent games such as Hearts away. Finally Sam Stubbs fair put that wind up merchant Jim Goodwin in his place at the end of the game after Goodwin made comments about his Dad.Quite what it had to do with him who was Alloa Manager at the time,God knows.

Accies offered Andreu a good deal end of the season and he said he would get back to the club about it...still waiting on him getting back in contact,so make of that what you will.

Probably a draw, although I never make any predictions till I see what line up the Accies Gaffer picks as there have been too many mental selections in recent years which have completely changed any optimistic view pre match.

To be fair,I prefer grass but it is as it is.A few years ago the Club wanted to buy The Bent Playing fields(not far from the ground) for £2Million from The Council and make it into a Training Ground but the Council refused to sell.

Not the worst plastic pitch in the country compared to the others.

My brother was in the reserves under Iain Munro who tipped him for the top and like me was/is Accies daft.A terrible knee injury against Maccabi Tel Aviv in a closed doors match ended his pro career at 18 and he was in the same Lanarkshire youth sides as Barry Ferguson,Lee McCulloch,David Lilley,Paul Hartley,Jamie McAllister,John Paul McBride and others. The pride my Dad felt watching him in the reserves(he was still sixth year at Holy Cross)would have been 100 times that in the first team.He made a comeback of sorts playing occasionally for Cadzow Accies and The Bruce(now Mrs Milsy's) with myself and it was a case of what could have been sadly.

Tynecastle was £29 for us Accies fans on Saturday,so Hesgoals.com or other sites it was for most of us who would have went. I coined the phrase " Twenty's Plenty" last season and am glad some folk including a fellow Accie are talking of a campaign for this.This issue of away prices across the top two divisions now is something that needs to happen as where will it end up? Coincidentally,pal of mine went to West Ham v Norwich instead which was £27...cheaper than Tynecastle was.

Never went today as couldn't make it but your report sounds a role reversal from last week where we had some good passages of play with a resolute defence. Can't see why Stanger is away to a level below that where he came from and likewise Jack Breen dropping further down again.Don't think either of these moves is ideal for their development.

I was at the 1977 game. Do not expect to see a repeat tomorrow. Ditto and have been at many games since even bringing the lucky mascot Mrs of mine who has only ever seen Accies lose once...at Tynecastle. At £29 they can ram it and this pricing is as bad as The Old Firm away.

We were always losing that game sending off or not.Men v Boys and this was exacerbated with Rice/Ronnie McDonald playing the kid Stanger at right back where as anyone who has watched the reserves know,he plays poor there...so what does he/they do? No decent left sides players due to injuries which perhaps should have brought a recall for Leon McCann from Airdrie instead of playing McGowan there. Nearly 1000 down on the last Saturday game in deepest winter compared to yesterday,so that shows these idiots up with their embarrassing pricing policy yesterday which stopped fans of both teams-especially those with kids- going. Main problem for me is the Accies midfield and has been since we lost Greg Docherty,Ali Crawford and Lewis Ferguson as those three would have made a big difference.The fact we are relying on the injured Alston for creativity is worrying.

Saturday morning shave,correct money...boys gate Owsley.Simples.
