Weird feeling that if we win all our remaining games we win the league…………….🙄

Yep, all we have to do is create a post WW2 club record for straight wins. Records are there to be broken I guess.

I hate the flares at our recent games, especially those thrown on to the pitch.  Don't people realise the club can be fined or worse for this kind of stuff?   It's not big and it's not clever.

Are yours too tight at the waist?

If and its a big if we go up there are only 4-5 players that would make the grade in the higher division. It was all too evident in the Dundee game the shortcomings in most of the squad.

Not a bad position to be in to build on. However if we don't go up they will be away.

Critical time for the club

 

Ayr will be a good market for how we are placed. I'm sure a good few of the current side would do a job but pushing for promotion would be a different matter. I'd fancy our chances in a playoff against one of the bottom clubs though.

Surely we could point to the Hibs game in the League Cup to say the exact opposite?

I think there are several players in the current squad that would do well in the Championship. McCann, Donaldson, Henderson, Lawal, Nesbitt (maybe as a squad player), Burrell, Morrison, Kennedy to name a few. McGinn too if he can maintain his fitness.

On Brian Rice, what are some older fans memories of him playing for us? The first half of his time with us (91-93), he only played about a 1/3 of our games before really kicking on in 93/94. I know he had some fitness issues and one or two things going on outside football but it seems like when he got dropped he missed large chunks of the season. Was it a case of winning over the fans eventually?

I agree with all of this bar banning fan for life. The fan should be given the opportunity to apologise. I'm sure that would mean more than a ban. Even the most vile person couldn't justify abusing a man who has done so much for our club and still speaks fondly about club

Ban the fool for a couple of seasons.

Life ban too severe but an apology is only meaningful if sincere and highly unlikely this tit would mean it.

Tell them they are banned until the can show attendance at some mental health awareness training.

Interesting one on the contract extensions- not something that’s been an issue the last few seasons.

I’d be looking to extend the likes of Burrell, Lawal and Rowe but I wouldn’t be offering wholesale extensions at this stage. Much will depend on the league we’re in.

On Nesbitt specifically, I’d want to see continued good performances until the end of the season. Still too many games where he doesn’t contribute enough in my view.

Seems a bit harsh to me.

Extremely idiotic and misplaced shout, but maybe one they thought was funny. You’ll hear far worse bile from thousands in Glasgow every single wekeend.

Rice seems like the sort of man who’d prefer an apology and conversation face to face - give them that chance, I bet it’d have more impact too.

You would hear worse, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't demand better. You are correct re the potential impact of having them sit face to face with Rice

It’s a terrible way to treat anyone never mind a guy who served our club brilliantly as both a player and coach. One of my favourite players in a very good team in the 90’s.

Glad to see the club are investigating it.

Anyway, my first experience of Ricey was via Saint and Greavsie when Forest sighed David Currie and they found great hilarity on the thought of Currie and Rice being in the same team. Well, the teenage me found it funny.

Please don’t compare us to those pollutions.

I think the club prefer to keep the kids out of the limelight until they sign professional contracts. Given that many of them (perhaps the majority?) will still be at school  that's probably understandable.  

I can confirm that the Walking Footballers are in exactly the same position! :lol:⚽
