eez-eh

Accidentally scratching my teeth with my nails gives me the fear.

Luiz was grappling him before his very clumsy attempt at sliding through him to get the ball. Don’t see how anyone thinks that wasn’t a red.

Torreira at that corner

Actually hadn’t realised how close Arbroath were to the relegation places now. Score stays like that and their arses will be twitching.

Forrest is too old for compensation. We better offer Harvie a contract before the deadline though and I’m hopeful Kerr will. If it was McCall still here it would be “ach I cannae stand in the boy’s way”.

Not that it isn’t possible but I somehow find it unlikely that the people in question actually had any idea about the guys mum.

It just won’t be the same match thread without the Poundland VT act and that same picture of John Robertson posted a dozen times. Well and truly a busted flush.

It wasn’t showing on the ScotRail app yesterday. It’s now showing for some of the services but not all which surely isn’t right. Going via Kilmarnock would absolutely be a better bet if it is shut. Will be much quicker than having to get off at Paisley for a bus. Only thing is they’re only every couple of hours and you might need to change at Kilmarnock but it’s not the end of the world.

I’m sure that’s only on the Sunday.

Take that. St Johnstone not having their best season and I’m assuming they’ll bring a decent enough crowd since we haven’t played them in so long.

County didn’t look up to much but we did what we had to do and it was nice to see us grind out a win with a bit of organisation as it’s something that hasn’t happened much the past few years. I was worried we were sitting back too much in the second half but to be fair it worked as we gave away next to no chances. Drinan looked a handful and I hope is the type of striker we’ve been crying out for for a while, he gave us a good out ball when we needed it. Conversely Forrest was poor again and I’d be tempted to take money for him now if Livingston increase their first offer of a dairy milk and a packet of quavers.

Moffat on the wing. f**k me.

Birthday caird pish from Lennon. They only play one up front, Edouard is a guaranteed starter and they’ve just signed another striker.

Smith’s can be a bit wanky about it. Always think it’s complete shite OF-centric behaviour to not even allow colours of the hometown team.

Heard that before tbf.

Hadn’t been on that forum in years until now. Says it’s agreed with Rangers but it’s up to Houston now. Also hints that a midfielder is close.

If we carry on playing with a number 10 like we did the last few games it might give McBurnie a better chance to actually do something. McGinn likely being out is a blow but Fleck seems like an ideal replacement. Obviously they’re teammates as well so it could work. There’s making a fair argument for including a fairly limited player in the squad, then there’s this . Bit hyperbolic if you ask me.

Todd would be a shite replacement for Forrest.

We were up about 2,500-3,000 in the first half of last season which I think was good progress (even early this season we had a few gates like that as we were playing well). Our form as well as a bunch of rearranged midweek and Friday night games in the second half of the season saw that fall right on its arse though. Football fans are generally fickle but I’d say ours are probably even more so. We can easily add an extra 1,000-1,500 onto the gate if we’re playing well or have a big game. As soon as we turn in a few bad performances though they all disappear.

Just search for ‘The Somerset Road End’ on Facebook. You’d need to join though. Its hilarious and depressing in equal measures.

Catching up on Match of the Day. Got to love the Arsenal players berating the ref for a red card that he didn’t even give and is just being told in his ear that he needs to give. So many footballers really are thick.

Should have told him we were signing some diddies from the juniors to generate maximum knicker wetting.

Aye I know that, I’m asking about you stating that the budget was cut due to “someone making a mistake”. I hate this shit. Without wanting to jump to McCall’s defence too much, there is absolutely no way that our board had budgeted on having a run in the Scottish cup. Further to that there is no way they were expecting at the start of the season that we would finish fourth. We exceeded expectations last season and will have gotten far more prize money than anyone expected or budgeted for. The one thing that hurt us this season was not getting further in the League Cup. However last season the game at Ibrox only got us one player in Smith, and even if you take him out of the equation I think it’s fairly obvious that our squad this season isn’t as strong as last. It’s hardly like we pushed the boat out in January either, we made one proper signing while getting two loans in and sending two loans out. I’m not one to criticise the board for the “lack of ambition” nonsense as I try to be realistic and it’s their money, but it’s perfectly fair to question why our budget seems to be so much less this season than last after such a good season.

Do you have some inside info here or is this just made up in your head?
