  1. That's why I said our starting line-up and not the performance/result I do agree with you, I'm trying not to feel too down about it. I've been on the record as not being that fussed about relegation from day one. We've also landed badly with the post-break fixtures. Seeing Dundee get a result against Hearts while we get pumped by Celtic (where has that happened before... rings a bell for some reason ) just made it a bit tougher.
  2. Yeah, think you're right. There's no way we're progressing from where we are, to where we need to be, in the next week or so. Even if we bring in the 'bare minimum'/essential players as I've outlined above, that's still just an acceptable starting XI. Squad would still be very thin on quality. Bit galling if McIntyre finishes above us, mind, proving that he'd have been the safer bet in the summer.
  3. Our starting line-up last night was fucking bleak. We've now got eight days to rescue this absolute disaster of a season. It's going to be difficult to bring players in, as we're already finding. Striker, left back, winger. All absolutely essential. If Kris Boyd is going on a free, I really hope we sign him. He'd be a good start.
  4. Imagine getting frothy twice in one week over the same incident, which didn't even involve your club.
  5. It was so obviously a foul. Still can't believe the mad c***s on here trying to claim it was a dive, tbh. Look forward to seeing the Fakes getting into even more of an inexplicable state over this decision.
  6. Too right: as we've established, and as everyone sensible agrees, it was never a dive in a million years.
  7. Aye, he missed our pumping up there in the cup last season. He might be able to play down the left, too, though I too suspect Hodson might be away.
  8. But you've already claimed Lyons ran right into him. Now you're saying he didn't? Away and get your story straight. I'm taking my boy swimming, I'll catch you later. I might get to see some actual dives, too.
  9. So at that precise point, as we've established and agreed, the defender has already put his right foot across his run? And that's not a foul? Edit: sorry, is this where the 'he's moved less than 12 inches' rule comes into play?!
  10. What difference does it make how far he moves? If the player you're fouling is only a foot away, then it's a foul. How can Lyons run straight into him, if he's moved a foot into his path to block him?! You've got to be at the wind-up here
  11. Thought it was a second yellow? It was a dive. Threw himself towards the player Or: the defender watches his run and deliberately checks him. If Lyons pre-empted that, then it was an attempt to not get bodied. Honestly, watch the defender step-by-step. He stops moving backwards, checks his movement and moves across into Lyons after the ball has gone.
  12. Seems to be the case. Unfortunate timing. Then again, he'll be streets ahead in League One, so might get a decent move in the summer.
  13. The goalscoring record of any chancer using the January transfer window to hawk himself around any club that'll talk to him, is not going to be great, tbf.
  14. Yeah, this. The random trialist who rocks up half way through the transfer window when it appears other targets might not be panning out approach is a well-worn and not successful path.
  15. Conor McGregor wears glasses too I bet that's dangerous when he gets punched in the face can't believe UFC allows it rofl!
