Correct, but it's only when a player is injured playing on an artificial pitch that you get it being highlighted in the media by people complaining about artificial pitches. There are far more injuries on grass pitches (more games in the SPFL are played on them) but not one injury is blamed on the playing surface in the same way it is with artificial pitches. There is absolutely no balance in this agenda against artificial pitches, no actual research produced to back any of the hyperbole.
If Ryan Kent had been playing on Livi's pitch there would've been an outcry from Gerrard blaming it on our pitch, not a peep from him when it was on the Ibrox grass pitch though.
I kind of wish it was. Imagine the meltdown of the zombies and media. Would have given a few weeks entertainment anyway

The list wasn't complete.
The point was that he's on loan at another team in the tournament, yet plays for his parent club. An absolute nonsense.
yeah I never seen any mention of our 37 year old backup backup goalie Gary Maley who played for our 'colts' last night
Also, anyone who went to any 'colts' games should feel ashamed, actively promoting the old firm agenda

Agree with the above posts. All I head from Killie were a few Sevco songs for 10 minutes then they quickly shut up when they figured out that they weren't going to walk over us.
'No-one likes us, we don't care' - not sure anyone thinks anything particular about Killie tbh unless your an Ayr fan desperate for a rivalry to give your team some kind of relevance.
I would say the crowd was a 50/50 split. Considering 2 years ago we had about 650 season ticket holders and Killie were top 5 last year and not that far to travel I can't see why that is 'embarrassing' for us.

Celebrated that goal like it was a winner! Killie next week gives a better indication of where we are

What do you need a manager for? The convicted drug dealer is your manager. Anyone being brought in is just a front for Martindale. Surely there must be an SFA inquiry into Livingston. How else do you Livingston fans explain all the signings? How can any self respecting manager come in to a club and have no say over signings? Very very dodgy set up. Of course you have a history of dodgy dealings over the years, so no one is remotely surprised

Our assistant made poor life decisions way before he was even associated with livi and has obviously done his time and changed as a person. Was over 10 years ago now. How do you explain signings? So your basically saying that Martindale is funding the clubs signings with ‘drug’ money lol you actually need help if you think that.

Dear oh dear. What a clown. No one has suggested any such thing

I am suggesting that you don’t need a new manager. Martindale is clearly the real manager at Livingston. The so called manager left the club after being promoted. The club announce that a new man will have to keep the back room staff. Martindale is signing players on the clubs behalf. What is the role of Kenny Miller or whoever comes in? Martindale’s signings and back room team. If it goes tits up, what responsibility does the so called manager have? It’s not his team, it’s his ‘assistant’s’ team. Strange set up indeedWhat a fanny
Incredible that we still have Pittman, Halkett, Byrne and Hardie.
The rest of the (new) signings don't have me too excited though, need to add some Premiership quality or at least some experience.
Having said that, we now have a good foundation for when we inevitably go down next season. Only here for the party after all

Would Halkett not still be eligable for YPOTY?
If so, Lithgow for player and Halkett young player.

I don't know where the critisicm is coming from for byrne , he has been by far 1 of our best performers over the last year. He had a poor game against st mirren but who didn't that day. He's probably one of our most technically gifted players along with de vita. He would be 1 of first names on team sheet for me. Keaghan byrne and Pittman are pivotal to how our team play.
I agree to your post to a certain extent.
To answer your question about the criticism, not sure criticism is the right word.
It was being pointed out that Byrne had a poor game on Sunday and if Thomson was an option he would have been the ideal player to throw in the midfield.
It should be said though, it was not just Byrne, the only player with pass marks from Sunday is Halkett (and Lithgow to an extent before his pen miss). The rest looked like they were out in having a piss up with the fans the night before.
Having said that, they are a young team, they had a long journey and they have been playing well recently and still held their own and were very unlucky not to be in the next round.
The three players you mentioned are pivotal as you said, and I don't think anyone would disagree. They are brilliant players but as all players do, they will have bad games. It would be good to have an option of the supposed quality of Thomson to use to rotate the squad when necessary, and In my opinion, Sunday was one of those days.

Yep, made a big difference last week against Morton having Keaghan back playing in midfield, ran about all over the pitch breaking up play and was a calming influence too. Funnily enough so did Lithgow in defence. You don't tend to notice Lithgow's efforts in amongst Gallagher and Halkett but when he wasn't playing we conceded 3 goals and weren't our usual solid selves defending high balls into the box.
Would say it was between Keaghan and Dec for MoTM against Morton, both played a blinder.
Yeah I was a bit weary about us playing 3 a the back with Lithgow but he seems to really have taken to that formation and has settled really well so far this season. He will always be outshone by Halkett though, but so would most other CB's in our league.
Unfortunately I missed the Morton game so can't comment, however going by the forums that seems to be the consensus, even from Morton fans. Can't say I am surprised either, both brilliant players.

Interesting idea actually, would be nice to really be able to mark the occasion.
On a tangent, will be interesting to see what team goes out against TNS, what happened to Knox playing 1st team football this season? Could we see him back in Keaghan's place?

Fox's one redeeming quality was his 25 yarder goals, but once they dried up all you had left was him running about in midfield getting the ball only to pass it to an opposition player, he coined the phrase that was often heard in the Livi crowd, aw for foxsake, as he yet again gave the ball away. Folk used to try and defend him by saying he did the dirty work that you just don't notice, why, did they think I was blind or something, Pittman does that, only you very much notice it as he breaks up play, closes players down, and grafts away in midfield all game, only Pitts rarely gives the ball away after winning possession. Anyhoo, Fox rant aside (sorry years of frustration of watching Fox just came out there)
i'm very pleased that Keaghan is going to be our most capped player.
Agree 100% mate. Compare Pittman to Fox and the gulf is massive.
Pittman 1st name on team sheet every week (Alexander aside), but you notice particularly v Brechin and Saints what we miss without Keaghan in the middle

Is Keaghan level with the record for having played the most games for us? Couldn't go to a better player, was a bit of a minter Fox having it, dear knows how he lasted so long., and eve more bewildering was the amount of managers we had during his time kept playing him.
Thought I was the only one who thought that about Fox.
Could never fault his effort or loyalty through that time, but he's no Keaghan Jacobs in terms of quality, seen better players than him let go for nothing.
Glad Keaghan will get the recognition of most capped for Livi - definitely deserves it
