Coventry Saint

Ours should have been awarded regardless of what happened in the Rangers game. It was a very clear penalty.

Feels about right: it's been clear that there's only one relevant team that we've lost major ground on, and they are going to deservedly finish fourth. The rest of that table sums up how we've managed to stay fifth despite our form being very patchy.

No chance we're adding numbers to the squad to allow for Europe. We wouldn't be in it for long enough to justify the outlay. We should run a lean squad, but use any additional budget to improve the quality. Same numbers as this year, but overall improvement, is what we should be looking for.

That's nonsense from Warnock, tbh. Given that he didn't get a window, and wasn't going to get one, I'm not sure what his problem is. It's not like his transfer philosophy was relevant or even slightly going to come into play. He was brought in to get more out of an underperforming squad, and failed to do so. He might be implying that the data-first approach has led to a squad that looks ok on paper but which lacks qualities that only an old-school approach can identify and nurture. But how do often do we see players now whose data looks crap but who are actually very effective? Tempted to bring in @RandomGuy. at this stage. Genuine question.

I guess when you've seen your team concede 10 in a single game, that's not a terrible total.

Ok mate.

Sometimes you have to hold your hands up: if we had somehow managed to scramble to 11th that season (and I'm not suggesting it was close; we were fucking awful), there's no way we were doing to Sevco what you did. Occasionally there's a grand plan and you just have to go with it.

Why would knowledge of Aberdeen's relative fame influence St Mirren's recruitment policies? I was being facetious in my delivery, but my point stands: Aberdeen isn't a name in the pool of managers you're trying to fish in. The guys old enough to remember you being a force are mad old c***s like Warnock. It has to be tough for your board, pretending the guy you eventually get in is the one you wanted.

It's a fucker having to try to recruit managers who are now too young to remember Aberdeen being Famous.

Piers Morgan/Meghan Markle vibes.

Holy shit, hadn't realised we'd signed him from you. #classic Edit: sorry, posted this without scrolling down and hadn't seen @djchapsticks had covered this off.

Point of order: the stand decision predated the sixth place. Some might argue it was a contributing factor.

Looks like he's brazened it out, so fair play, but that is such a cross

Holy shit it's an absolute pumping. Killie have been better than us across the season, so you you have to say they deserve fourth, but fucking hell what a disastrous half of football.

Stuck a tenner on Killie to win at 2-2, cashed out for £26 two minutes later. What a shambles

Injured.

We've got no other options at RWB, CBM has made himself first choice, and then it's a straight choice between MOH and Kwon. I'll trust the manager but the selection is hardly a disaster.

And tonight. Well, someone's getting ridden pretty fucking hard, at least.

"1st" wasn't necessary there: it makes the sentence tautological.

I'm quite surprised to see how many Hearts fans are in favour of a cheeky wee lie-down here.

Can you be there AND be square? I'm asking for Brad Lyons.

It's been said several times: Fotheringham is the most Dundeeish appointment I can imagine. (FWIW I can't imagine Dons going for Doc either so you should be good for a while.)

Does anyone know any good lines about Jesus and crosses?

So extreme is his no-nonsense approach that it has circled right back round and turned into nonsense. Like Chapsticks says, it feels inevitable he's getting a job here eventually. No chance it's Aberdeen but he really does have Dundee written all over him.
