Buzzing for when Mimnaugh gets a go. Must be soon. I think I must be due a turn soon, we've missed that many penalties recently.

Guilty as charged. Would obviously much rather be at the game, but if I can't go, then watching my team on a stream is still much preferable to some insufferable English Championship game on Sky.

Nope, 10 shots at goal, zero on target, according to the BBC. Again. Every game is like bloody Groundhog Day.

9 players out injured again. Really really sick of this shite. That's been two years of this pish.

Probably Jose Quitongo, James McCarthy, Tony Andreu or Marcel Mahouve for Accies.

As an Accies fan, I have absolutely no issue at all with that. Roll on the new season

No idea. Before last night, we had 11 games to go in the season, 4 of which would be against St Mirren (3 in the league, and 1 in the Scottish Cup) if they don't make top six. So many games have been moved forward, moved back, cancelled, awarded, uncancelled, unawarded, snowed off or rained off, it'll be a major feat if the fixture list actually adds up to the right number of games at the end of the season. I've totally lost track.

Was in Erik Thorsvedt, the Spurs keeper ? And yes, there was an incredible noise late on that game. I was in the uncovered North Terracing, and it was my first experience of seeing us qualify for anything

Yes. Its shite.

I'll be there. Most countries do something that I don't agree with. If I let that dictate whether I travelled there or not, I would never leave the house. A bit like the last year, in saying that

They had just won Euro 84 and really unlucky to lose in the World Cup semi-final in 86. Which shows what a good result that was for us. But yes, they did lose their way for a few years after that.

Agreed - two wonderful games. Mo Johnstone scoring the first in the 2-0 win v France, and McCoist scoring in the 1-1 draw with Norway that qualified us. Great days

I remember going to Celtic Park with Accies when we first got promoted to the Premier League in the mid/late 80s, and the attendances v Accies were usually in the 15,000 - 20,000 mark. A quick google check confirms the crowd of the Celtic 8 Accies 3 game in 1987 as 16,380. Although admittedly, Accies aren't the biggest draw in the world

Yes, that's true, which is why the seating configuration is completely different from what it was at old Douglas Park. It's like getting a giant lego set with no instructions, so you make it up as best as you can, but it never looks quite right

In fairness, Accies were missing plenty of first choice players as well. No David Templeton, Lewis Smith, Sean Want, Jamie Hamilton, Will Collar, Charlie Trafford or Kyle Munro.

Heavy and convincing away win, unfortunately. We are so so bad this season.

Your system is probably fairly accurate. Oakley in 19/20 was half the player he was the year before. D'Acol is definitely the best we're had since MAC. Oggy got better in 19/20 compared to 17/18. Rakish Bingham was fucking rotten, he's maybe a little higher than I thought he would be. And Eamon Brophy had plenty of chances at Accies, and never really grabbed them; wasn't surprised when he was freed/left, and I have been surprised he's done so well at Killie. Your system is pretty much bang on the money, IMO.

This. St Mirren will be desperate to get the game on, even if they have to play kids and keepers outfield, because we are utterly dreadful at the moment. In the last month we've given Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Hibs and even fucking Annan three goal leads against us in the first half.

Nail on the head. I gave up when one year they said they had no idea how the play-offs worked. They are professionals, for goodness sake, show some professional pride and go and look it up. Pretending to be thick or ill-informed isn't really entertaining - it is possible to be funny whilst still knowing what you are talking about. If they can't be arsed looking up the basics of the football tournaments they are commenting on, I've got better things to devote my time to.

So was Colin Harris, until one day he missed one and then was like an absolute coo for the rest of his Accies career.

Absolute stonewall away banker

Agreed. He used to come across as intelligent, eloquent and informative. Now he's fallen into the Gerry McNee "saying stupid stuff just to get a reaction" camp. Have stopped listening to anything he's on now.

By the end of June, most of my teachers spent most afternoons in the pub, so I doubt anyone will notice if you're not there.

You forgot to mention the size of our support.

If both Scotland and England qualify, it'll be a toss of a coin to see if the game's at Hampden or Wembley. Both countries are guaranteed min 2 games at home, but one of us will obviously have to have 3.
