We’ve been competitive as f**k under Kettlewell and even on that mad winless run last year if we lost it was by one goal usually. The exceptions to that being the 3-0 at County and the 3-0 at Easter Road post split last season. I hope our players are up for making that right. With Sir David Gray talking about our long throws I fully expect one of two things to happen. Either we score two from them or the opposite to happen and Hibs score from a long throw of their own. I think whoever scores first will most likely win but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a score draw. 2-2

Cardiff’s commitment to not tackling is superb

We’ve regained a bit of composure. Both teams’ defensive coaches will be tearing their hair out.

That was tremendous.

Any idea where R Gray is going?

Some of the Facebook replies to the resignation are unhinged man. I think some of those people live under a rock. I always like the 7 up of gr8 night puns when an arse cheek gets pumped.

See I’ve got a Christmas night out on both the Friday and Saturday night. I was hoping to make the game on the Saturday afternoon and then head straight to the second one but now I’ll probably miss the game. It’s a nice idea and I like Friday night fitba but it won’t suit a lot of folk at that time of year.

Watson’s first for Killie and Hale’s goal for County are well worth a watch. Both stupendous confectionery.

It’s not about keeping him. It’s about protecting his value with an understanding we’ll sell him when a bid of x value comes in as we did with Turnbull. I think he’s level headed enough that it’s worth offering an extension.

Balmer was solid when he came on except for getting booked for coming on too early.

We seriously need to be giving Wilson a new deal ASAP as possible. The guy is solid defensively and getter better and better going forwards each week. We should also be offering Miller an extra year and a pay rise while we’re at it. I don’t know if it was mentioned last week but the clock no longer stops at 45 and 90 minutes. That’s a great improvement.

I was saying to my pal at half time that it’s great to be ahead when we haven’t played well. I don’t think the move the 2 up front worked for us at all in that first half. We were also so bad at losing our man at the back post at corners and free kicks and that theme continued for most of the game. The Ox made a great save just before half time. Then we concede a penalty and the red card. I was in the Cooper so don’t have any opinion on it as it was so far away. I think bringing on Watt and Stama was the right call as it gave us more of an outball. Alternatively I thought KVV and Scott stopped St Mirren’s momentum a bit. Wilson was also a great outball at times too. We actually defended really well with ten men and probably deserved to win because of that. Miller could easily of had a hattrick today too. Last season we’d have needed a 93rd minute equaliser to get anything out of that game.

I fancy Robinson to go on a wee scoring run after his goal vs United last week. Watt also to score. 2-0 Motherwell.

I see the third season of the Lincoln Lawyer starts in mid October. I’m going to do a rewatch of the first two seasons.

Seems a great guy. He’s the first Motherwell right back I remember watching. I remember him being solid and composed on the ball and it was certainly a downgrade when Paul Quinn took over. Although I had only just started high school at the time so my memory is hazy.
