Coventry Saint

Most one-sided 1-1 I've seen for a while. Just after Obika missed that chance, too. Should have been utterly out of sight by now.

Yeah, good shout. As long as McGrath isn't somehow wing back I'll be reasonably happy. That's actually a v. strong team on paper. Kinda wish I was watching it now.

That line up is absolutely anybody's guess. Interesting to see Durmus and Connolly playing. 4-3-3 maybe?

Outstanding news about Ethan. Absolutely delighted. He was utterly hung out to dry at fullback two seasons ago. He's turned into a proper player, and is only 19. Joy to watch.

Dealers can be so territorial.

I'm like one of those old fuckers who always votes for the same political party even though he has no real reason for doing so. Still, it was fun to stick my now-traditional shout for Alan Stubbs in. Next stop: tweeting McBookie for odds on the same.

Obviously the issues with the Livingston pitch means that any new manager 'bounce' is going to be completely unpredictable. #PlasticPitchjoke

I was about to suggest him as an absolute pisstake. Kinda taken the wind out my sails a bit.

That implies they stopped being antsy at some point.

The 'meh' is strong with this one. Both teams will see this as a decent chance to progress; Aberdeen slight favourites, even with their injury worries. I've said several times on here but our Cup 1/4 final at home to the Dons last season was, for me, the most disappointing game of the season. We were utterly hopeless and Aberdeen must have been surprised at how little challenge they received on the night. This game giving me massive flashbacks to that one, given the late-Saturday kick-off time and TV coverage. The main difference being that last season we'd turned in something resembling a decent performance in the first half at Fir Park. This season we have yet to turn in a decent performance anywhere. We are gradually getting players back now and we have a good squad, yet it remains to be seen if Goodwin can get a tune out of them. Obika must start, as must Connolly. Four at the back, too, please. I'm going 'full carbon copy' for my prediction: Aberdeen to win 2-0 with a goal in each half.

Nah, I think it means someone else told him he got it wrong. He can stick his fingers in his ears and continue to never give us anything.

Jeeeesus.

Holt rightly banned for two games. Now, how do we get Collum right to f**k?

Winning this would be the most Acciesy thing ever. Just saying.

Just for context, Morias basically just shoots regardless of which direction he's facing, so his stats will be something of an outlier.

Did he? Ok, that explains it. Just hope we can get a run of games now. I know it's been stop-start for everyone, but we seem to cope especially badly with the broken momentum.

Yeah, plus Livi (teams we should be above). You'll be above us again this year; I think we'll be 9th. You have to assume Accies will twist first in terms of binning Rice. Can't see it making much difference though.

Was interested to see Durmus on the bench again at the weekend. I'm not exaggerating to say I'd forgotten he existed; yet another disappointing performer this season. If he and Flynn can come back and play like they did last season then - cliché warning - it's like two new signings.

Stop it.

Yeah, get him to f**k for that. Hope he gets the suspension he deserves.

To be fair, nobody's denying it was a clear red card. It's the lack of similar intervention in other games that's more troubling, along with Collum's incredible eyesight deserting him when he actually referees our games.

It was right in front of the fourth official though so surely one of them must've seen it? Honestly, Collum spotting Shaughnessy's challenge was such a rare example of a 4th official intervening like that. I don't expect to see it happening again. Maddeningly inconsistent.

If he was 4th official, and also it was a St Mirren player making the challenge.

Watch the fuckers move for Doyle-Hayes when he's out of contract at the end of the season. Didn't see the game today; sounds like a tough watch. Excellent to get another win. Hopefully that's the 3-5-2 in the sea for good.

Lincoln's address at Gettysburg was only 257 words long, in fairness.
