Zanetti

Surely nobody still thinks McKinstry should get a game after that today? He floats about the pitch and the game just passes right by him. A very poor player.

Yeah I casually follow the Maryland Terrapins who have started the season fairly well! Found this very funny from the Padres Dodgers game tonight:

I believe the age limit is only for Celtic and Rangers as it's their B teams that enter the the tournament, whereas for us, Thistle, and Clyde it's officially our first team despite however many youths we play in it. If I'm not mistaken we're expected to play a certain number of recognised first team players.

What's the deal with Ross Docherty, is he injured again? I don't necessarily expect us to get a result here, but I definitely think it's a possibility.

If we are signing Sheridan until the end of the season it's purely to bulk up the squad and give us another option off the bench. Nothing to get excited about but hardly the end of the world either.

Tommy Robson as well, although I think his days at the club are probably numbered, he's definitely struggled for a fair while now.

And he still made the Championship team of the season. It's almost as if one daft performance doesn't define a goalkeeper.

I do actually. His saves were fantastic, the shots he kept out would have beaten the vast majority of goalkeepers. Hope that helps!

A Morton fan without eyes; surprising, normally people from Greenock have three of them.

Never trust a highlight video on YouTube, Steven Eze's made him look like Maldini in his prime.

Hasn't had much of a career so far but if he's been training with us for a couple of weeks Davidson must see something in him, so he's worth a shot.

I don't think anybody is suggesting it's actually magic, what often happens though is that it's awarded to the manager of a team that's overperforming to a degree and is bound to regress somewhat eventually.

The big difference between Tizzard under Veldman and Davidson is that he's not being asked to do things he's clearly not capable of anymore. As an outright defender, who sits deep and does the basics, he's proven himself to be very decent the last couple of weeks. He's stopped making daft mistakes because he's not being forced into situations where it's easy for that to happen. I'm really pleased for him and hope he can keep it up.

Makes sense that Kane has ended up at Dunfermline if he's just looking to play football. I can't imagine he fancied being an option off the bench for us, but he should start for them.

Why do Morton fans get so upset when people suggest that they're a physical team? I agree that it's occasionally exaggerated, but they're well on track for most yellow cards in the division for the second season in a row. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that being a part of your game, especially when it gets results.

Cheers. Somewhat surprised to see us linked with another striker to be honest, we also only play with one of them and Ruari Paton is as good as they come at this level. I think he'd start for Dunfermline but probably not for us so I could see him ending up there instead.

What's the surprise? That you'd want rid because you need him, or that he's too pish even for the Championship?

Well, that's a good start. 4 isn't impossible...

I had a feeling we'd come here and win comfortably to be honest, Dunfermline aren't very good and we've improved massively. By far the better team for the full game but we turned it up a level in the second half. Three very good goals too. Dom Thomas is the best player in this division on his day, and I'll not hear a bad word about him. Some player. Lovely stuff.

Arbroath and it's not even close. Good pubs, cracking ground, the perfect distance from Glasgow. It's probably my favourite in the whole country. Went for Raith as number two. I'm not sure it's objectively that exciting but I always end up having a good day there. Probably helps that we've had a couple of really satisfying wins there relatively recently too. I like Thistle away, but having ground shared there for a whole season recently and played them about a million times in the league/playoffs/cups over the past couple of seasons I'm over the novelty at this stage. Controversially I think Somerset Park is shite and don't like watching a game of football there whatsoever, so that has an impact on where I'd put Ayr, but overall it'd another decent trip. I've only ever been to East End Park once, and while I enjoyed relegating them I'd need to experience it again to give it a fair rating, so we'll see if the game there is called off for a third time this weekend or not. Think it has potential though. Airdrie is by far the worst. Terrible ground, miles from anything at all, can't think of any redeeming features whatsoever. Don't have any strong feelings on United, Morton, or Inverness. They're all ok.

I said before the Inverness game at the weekend that we'd probably need to win at least 3 of our 5 games in February if we have any chance of avoiding the bottom two, so that victory was a good start. The positive for me is that we didn't completely collapse again after the Ayr game/result, which was awful. Davidson appears to have instilled a bit more fight and determination in these players, and I also think the squad is objectively stronger after our January signings. Dunfermline away on Saturday is big for both teams. Win that, which we're certainly capable of doing, and I'll be feeling much better about our chances.

Brought a beagle puppy home yesterday. My 6 year old whippet is just pretending he doesn't exist, which is actually a fairly positive start considering she can be a bit funny with other dogs sometimes.

I like the look of him when he came on, wasn't scared to get stuck in and do the dirty work. Think he could turn out to be a good bit of business.

Big Dunc's post match interview is some laugh, what a raging mess he is. One way or another he's absolutely going to be a failure at Inverness.

This quote has me absolutely pishing myself; yes, Aaron the team who won over 100 games last season and have only gotten better will indeed be a problem.
