Split fixtures won't be released until after the Dundee game despite the top six and bottom six positions already determined - the game in Scotland really is run by absolute fkin clowns!!
Not like fans have to make travel plans or anything like that

This. If the split fixtures are delayed until next Thursday there's no wiggle room.
You would think now that they should just come out with Split Fixtures A and B - based on Dundee or Hibs being in the top six - just to allow teams and fans to prep and know their schedules
And then bin the split, which is pish anyway!

I'm still trying to get my head around an SPFL team not having a rain cover that actually covers the full pitch - I mean seriously, that would surely cost fuck all and should be a mandatory requirment?
-
As much as Id like the game on this match is too important to play if the pitch is shite(er) and we could potentially play on a dry surface next week

Dry until 11.00 am - then almost guaranteed rain for the rest of the day
I'm betting game will be on until around 5pm, then called off

Just clicked on this to see the state of the pitch and it's halftime and the tannoy is playing Travis, "why does it always rain on me!!"
Pitch looks shite - piles of sand and a bit that looks like a ploughed field - ridiculous that it's deemed acceptable for the top division!!

Loving this season, most excit9ing in years, but a wee part of me can't wait until he has the chance to properly bring in his players and have a full off season
But for now I guess I'll have to settle for a League Cup win, top of the league, a run in the Scottish Cup and going toe to toe with top teams in Europe!!

And BBC going with "Rangers pegged back twice in thriller at Benfica"
They just can't help themselves!

Assume with around ten players leaving in the summer (end of contract/loan deals and players clearly not in his plans) that he'll then have a bit of a budget simply based on saved wages and hopefully a few transfer fees - especially if they can get something decent back for Dessers and Lammers?
So much dead wood kicking about that ten out and maybe three or four quality players in and I think we would have a pretty strong squad

It’s getting to the end of the season so there’s always sales
True - but the prices seem more like a fire sale, rather than mid to end of season discounting.
Scotland Home and Away are down to £50 because they're obviously bringing out new kits for the Euro's but we can get all three (or four or five) kits for around £20 which is really low
Anyway, have been away and was just wondering if we were shifting to someone else - not a fan of the Castore stuff
-
Have been overseas so might have missed the news - looking at the prices - is this Castore ditching kit and we are moving to a new supplier next season??
Apologies if this is something that's been previously discussed or is well known

Clement referenced him for some reason in his presser yesterday iirc.
Actually thought that was really clever
All the attention could have been on Brown and he just destroyed the media narrative with a yup, we get it, he hates our club. Next question.
Team talk is also done. Fans were behind you on Tuesday night, they hate this prick and he hates us, get this done, don't take your foot of their throat
-
An intelligent player without the skill or physical attributes to make that a valuable asset
You can see he clearly knows what to do, but just doesn't have the tools in the toolbox
Looked gutted at being subbed which is nice to see, but will be away in the summer and we will see this team take another leap forward if Big Phil gets the money to spend on a proper forward line
-
Dan Campbell buying into his own hype going for it on fourth down when a field goal would have left the 49ers needing three scores - mind numbingly bad coaching and absolutely turned the game on its head. Such a meatball play and just not understanding the situation both in terms of the game and what it would have done to the 49ers psychologically - instead he literally gave them the spark and belief in one single dumb play and changed the entire momentum of the game. Was Michael Bealeesque in it's utter stupidity.
At least it makes it a better Super Bowl - definitely closer and should be a fun watch.
Lions window for me just closed - Bears and GB are both getting stronger and the Lions will struggle to come back from this especially likely losing Ben Johnson to the Commanders
-
I honestly think he's terrible and nowhere near good enough but...
Took his goal really well - really intelligent finish
Cut back a few balls that should have been finished - again, really smart play
Made a cracking run that left him one to one with the keeper and was unlucky not to get a second.
If he keeps playing like this we should have more than enough for a Youtube highlight video to send to Utrecht to seal a 10 million Euro transfer in the summer

This is an absolute disaster.
But. If he misses the rest of the season and fades into the background it might increase our chances of him signing here permanently?
Think this is spot on (on both points). Might be a wee slight silver lining in what is obviously a major blow for us and the player.
Not too many teams going to bid large amounts on a player with a previous injury history, just coming back from a long term injury.
Contracted to Brighton to June 2025, going into the last year of that deal, it might suit Brighton to cut their losses and agree a club friendly deal? Player really happy here. Club seems to be getting the most from him.
Guess it also depends on the longer term assessment??
Still all a bit shite
-
Delayed going on holiday by a couple of days to get to this, so not overly happy but I guess there are positives
Rest before the old firm, no injuries picked up plus will be a good game if we are bedding in new players brought in during the window
There's three midweeks free coming up after the break, 31st Jan, 14th and 21st Feb, so will likely get replayed on one of these dates - can't see much flex after that because of Europe, International break, rearranged Hibs game and we already have Aberdeen at home midweek in February

We’re not a charity.
He is physically unable to fulfil the duties we pay him for.
Our patience and understanding has been more than most employers.
Time for a serious heart to heart - he can have no further part in our future.
Two strikers (one purchase, one loan) needed in January imo.
No ones suggesting we're a charity - but you sign players you accept the risk - and I assume you have them insured so to some extent his wages might be covered. No idea.
Has he been a success in terms of injuries, obviously not, but to suggest, as people on here have, that he's 'stealing a wage'. As if he's manipulating the situation. I think that's total bs.
He's clearly leaving at the end of the season - wish him well, though doubt he has much longer as a pro and wouldn't be surprised to see him retire at the end of the season

Folk saying he's stealing a wage, ffs - his goal midweek made us 3million plus - or is that forgotten now?
Guess a weeks a long time in football!
You could see how pissed off he was walking up the tunnel, shirt off and absolutely raging - guy is desperate to play.
-
Definitely not Chinos, looked more like Moleskins - awfy comfy and quite 'de rigueur' for the posh farming set (or so I'm told), maybe not so much for an SPFL manager!

Imagining Clement with decent players is blowing my mind right now!!!

Getting to that time of in the hunt, playoff bound and seeding for home advantage 4 weeks to go.
Unless you're a Bears fan, in which case it's getting to that time you check 'Talkathon' every Monday morning!!

Post split fixtures

You're probably spot on - I'm just pissed off as I have to go down south and worst possible scenario for me was home games being 1 and 3, and them on Sunday 5th, which I now think is pretty likely.
Not that it matter as much after that display yesterday
