  1. Just asked my Mrs if she could run a bath and grab me a toaster. Absolutely brutal.
  2. Very much changed days. I'd have dreaded drawing you lot in years gone by but on our day at home I'd be happy to play just about anyone.
  3. Not the worst draw for us. I fancy us at home against anyone in the country outwith Celtic and Rangers.
  4. Kennedy is a fud. He had a budget that championship clubs would've been happy with at Darvel and pretty much the same at EK.
  5. Am I being whooshed here? Raiths pitch is synthetic I believe. Raith TV had a good angle on the instant replay for it, looked a lot worse on the replay as well. Slightly off topic but Raith TV was excellent. The use of different angles for instant replays etc a welcome change. It's definitely a product that our guys should be looking at when we make improvements.
  6. Absolutely. Looks like Hancock planted his footed into the pitch in a stabbing motion in attempt to get his toe to the ball.
  7. I'm getting really fucked off with the amount of idle time we have on the ball between our centre halves and goalkeeper. It's beyond tedious. McCabe is in a horrible position in terms of team selection and style of play and most of it is his own doing. All fine and well having a style of play but we don't have a purpose to go with it.

    Nuggets couldn't really have asked for an easier night. OKC really struggled to put anything together but came up against a formidable offense. Really impressive.
  9. That was pish. 2nd REALLY bad performance on the bounce from us.
  10. That feels like a big result for us today. I was concerned about the physicality getting the better of us today but we were excellent at dealing with that and everything else Morton came at us with albeit most of their play was very poor and predictable. While we weren't great today I thought anytime we went forward we looked dangerous and were probably guilty of over playing sometimes but who cares in the end we came away with the 3 points. A wee added point on our play, for a team so comfortable on the ball we are sometimes very careless in simple possession, cut that out and who knows what our ceiling is. Mon the Diamonds
  11. Not really bothered about having a roof to be honest, just dress accordingly. Looking forward to returning to Cappielow today and hopeful of a win but our lack of physicality at times really gives me the fear. We tend to really struggle against teams that can mix it physically but hopefully there's more of the same type of performance from last week. I'd go for an unchanged 11 as we looked fairly fluid and comfortable last week. Heart says 2-1 Airdrie, head says 1-1.
  12. I was really worried about our defence coming up against the likes of Hamilton and Easton but I thought we limited them really well. The game as I expected was really close but I thought the difference in the teams up until the goal was the Raith were taking more shots or creating more passages of play ending in shots than us but thankfully we managed to see that out and take our chance when it came. I had a bit of a heads gone after last week's game and looking back I stand by some of what was said but credit where credit is due that was a great result today and backs up the idea that we will be a really tough nut to crack at home. Happy Saturday.
  13. That's pathetic. Had to watch on stream today due to illness. I'm afraid I'm about to go scatter gun in the heat of the moment. Today we were up against a well drilled, solid and established championship team with players that are able to mix it physically as well as skillfully. Our squad in the other hand just doesn't have those attributes, to start with two lightweight wingers who offer little to f**k all other than pace is criminal. Dropping Aiken for the manager himself seemed a 50/50 call at the time. The goals we lost were awful, so fucking soft. It's been well stated our recruitment has been bang average at best with a severe lack of proven championship players. The club may well have their reasons for this and the recruitment strategy but they must understand that a lack of investment could well see us straight back where we fought so hard for so long to get away from. A dangerous game to play. As for McCabe, I love the guy and think he will have a cracking career as a manager but the arrogance has to drop. There's more than one way to play and I fear our way could see us on the end of a few pumpings this season given our current squad choices. Fair fucks to Arbroath though, a team widely tipped for the drop that didn't even need to get put or 2nd gear to sweep us aside today. Solid team on that and previous weeks showings.

  15. Something so satisfying about seeing someone getting sat down to watch the calmest of finishes. Poetry.
  16. No one is saying we should sign am extra 3 or 4 midfielders but anyone looking at our squad and sees anything but a slight lack of depth is mental imo. For what it's worth we didn't disgrace ourselves today and keeping United to 2 after the start we had might be vital come the end of the season.
  17. 4th game in and our squad depth or lack of it is already showing signs in stretching, but what do we know?
