TheFinalCountdown

If Andy Tod had been in the Scotland squad, they'd have won the 1998 World Cup, Tod would've played the whole tournament with a bloody bandage on his head, interchanging positions at will from centre back to out and out striker as he saw fit. Joe Cardle should never have been let go by AJ and should be brought back in any capacity at the earliest opportunity. Sammy the Tammy should be retired. He is a shadow of his former self and frankly just makes me sad about the days of cardboard tanks and sledging down the Norrie McCathie Stand. Faissal El Bakthaoui was highly overrated and I wasn't in the least bit bothered when he left for Dundee. Nicky Clark was a far more suitable replacement for the Championship and I actually was bothered when he left. Michael Moffat was underrated (including by myself) Although I want us to progress and naturally that involves promotion, I quite like being in the Championship and being competitive. I imagine if we were to become a Hamilton or a Motherwell, I wouldn't quite look forward to a season as much.

Week 1 - Stirling Albion

What's the source for this?

I'm really looking forward to the customary 'last home game of the season' lap of honour. I'd like the lap to end at the gate opening out onto Halbeath Road and continue on for another few hundred miles.

When Richie Byrne left as well, that was the final straw for me.

Makes it even more mental to think he was replaced by Connolly and Hippo...

I just don't know what to think about Crawford. I think everyone wants him and Shields to be the dream team, giving the youth an opportunity and getting the fans back on side. I can't see the budget being there for a full overhaul and the competition for the types of players we need (a goalscoring striker, a creative midfielder and a compotent centre back) means we will struggle to attract better players than what we've already got on paper. What we need is a manager who can manage games, motivate and get the best out of average players. He really hasn't shown he can do that.

I'd have my doubts about ourselves, Morton and QOS beating Montrose over 2 legs never mind Forfar and Raith. I think Partick and Alloa would be perhaps the toughest of mind within the pack. The rest would fold.
