CowdenConvert Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 You seem to be under the belief bigger crowds mean better football. Hamilton play better football than Hibs, easily. So do Dundee. I'm far happier, and more willing to watch games involving either side, than I would have been if Hibs were in their placeHave you seen Dundee this season?

Nightmare Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Celtic v Partick Thistle isn't a derby Just because we can't stand the vile sectarian pish that comes with playing Celtic, and just because you don't want to view a team like Thistle as important, doesn't mean it's not a derby.

yoda Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This "second rate" is stuff is bollocks. With the greatest of respect, the pishy teams at the bottom of the top tier are better than Queen of the South, Dumbarton, Livingston, Raith Rovers, Alloa, and Cowdenbeath.

SaintSam Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11792/9326554/scottish-football-james-mcpake-and-kevin-thomson-to-leave-hibernian Well, he's been told to f**k off anyway. Is he still under contract? Kevin Thomson particularly comes across very well in that interview. It must be worrying for Hibs fans to hear these players talk about the managers attitude towards them. They both touch on it. If Thomson has had to deal with negativity from Butcher for 6-7 months, knowing from January that he wasn't wanted but still asked to put the strip on and play then it's very much testament to his love for the club and his own integrity. It does not reflect well on Butcher at all. You wouldn't hear any St.Johnstone player speak about Tommy Wright like that. I would take both McPake and Thomson at Saints. Guys like them and Ben Williams will undoubtedly play at a higher level than Hibs next season. Liam Craig too if he decides to look for something else.

Hammer Jag Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Celtic v Partick Thistle isn't a derby Yes it is. As much as I don't want to be associated with a club that has racist, sectarian fans and protects paedophiles, two clubs from the same city who play each other = derby match. I'm sick of having to educate Old Firm simpletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is it a coincidence that the two clubs who have changed managers the most in the last ten years are the ones that have been relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Celtic v Partick Thistle isn't a derby. The dictionaries definition of a derby is a sporting fixture between two sides from the same town or area. It is a derby, it might not be a rivalry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I seem to recall Dundee vs St Johnstone being a very spicy fixture back in the First division. Yeah it was usually exciting, from Gavin Swankie scoring last minute wondergoals for Dundee at Dens, to the utterly sublime "Rain Dance" of Sir Paul Sheerin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Reiver Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We'll done to Hamilton justice was done. Accies by far the better side over both legs and well we've been terrible for the last few years and our luck final run out. Rod should have been hounded out long ago and if Butcher is still here I hope his style of play changes with the players he brings in as the aim less punts up the park wil not see us trouble the top of the championship.

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well, that was quite something. My body is battered and bruised, my head hurts, but I would do that all over again in a heartbeat. Words can't really express just how proud I am of the team for yesterday's heroics. I didn't really give us a hope of progressing after Wednesday but I was delighted to be proved wrong. Every one of those players ran themselves into the ground and you could see that right up until our second goal they all believed they could still do it. I have sung the praises of Tony Andreu constantly this season and it was no surprise he popped up with last gasp goal. A brilliant player and yesterday was no exception. Scotland gave his all and what can you say about Ziggy Gordon? Tireless energy and you could see how much that result meant to him. A special mention also to Darian MacKinnon, who has been great all season. Quite a journey he's had. Absolutely delighted for him. We may be few in number, but the scenes yesterday in the away end will stay long in the memory. Great to be part of it and it's moments like those that make supporting a smaller club worthwhile. People may scoff at our small support, and laugh at our two and a half sided stadium (and our bus, and our beach etc), but you know what? I wouldn't change it for the world. Hamilton Academical may be a wee diddy team, but they're my wee diddy team. And I'm immensely proud of that fact. Long live the diddies. Out of greens. Great post!

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Forgot to Sky+ the game on BT Sport yesterday and wasn't home in time from celebrating to watch Sportscene or BT Sport highlights. Here's hoping the club or an Accies fan brings out a DVD of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
