Years since I have been to Ibrox, anyone know are Saints fans held back after the final whistle  ?  Have to get train and ferry so need to check times.

Not been there in years, the only ground I won't visit. It's just not worth the aggro on the way in and out.

I would love Urminsky to step up, but I don't think it'll happen. He's been 2nd far too long, if he was genuinely a talent for the future you'd think he would have broken through and gotten more starts.  I also think Balcombe is a decent keeper but for whatever reason he seems to be suffering. His first appearances were really good (imo) but he's tailed off badly.

In terms of Robinson getting a new contract, absolutely no harm in it, if anything it gives us some needed cover considering his name is regularly touted with each new job that comes up.

Didn’t the Brentford fans say pretty much this about Balcombe?

Perhaps.

Although you'd wager that trying to break into Brentford is a tougher gig than trying to break through with us, especially considering we "lost" Carson and Hemming was just a loan.

I just resent giving them - or Celtic - my money.

I suppose if I thought we could get a result there, I'd be more likely to go.

Ibrox is the worst away day in Scotland.

£28 to sit in a run down stadium, get spat at and shit thrown at you, stewards threaten to chuck you out if you stand at any point or celebrate a goal too much. You're not getting any decisions and wins are rare because refs bail them out so often.

It's not even worth going on the off chance you get a rare win now because Rangers are so shit that beating them doesn't feel like a big thing.

How is KVV looking so far? Has he had many starts/minutes and is his fitness looking ok?

I was desperate for the big man to do well for us I loved him at Motherwell but it just never happened. I know there was a lot of talk about an upper thigh/bum muscle problem with him but I always felt that was 50% true and 50% a nice excuse for why he wasn’t playing.
