Printz Smeto Bear

Up there with the Partick Thistle goal a few weeks back

The lad played very well, constantly looked like making something happen down the left - all the more contrast now with the lack of penetration from Tavernier in open play.

Earning his corn from the mainstream media, trying too hard to appear impartial. Don’t waste too much time hating, better to remember the glory days.

Can’t believe the bookies are offering 8/1 with only 4 games gone, 4 points behind - come payday will be lumping on at that price - will definitely be a good bit shorter when we go on a run and no way they won’t be dropping points before the new year game.

Definitely the case - reckoning it’s a byproduct of Gerrard telling them to be a bit more fired up than last year’s gutlessness. Obviously we can’t be having daft sending offs for no benefit but as a player he was willing to push the bounds of assertiveness/aggression in the big games and accept the odd red as a result.

Knowing what most of us are like after after a long journey, having to play a high-tempo derby within 72 hours of a 5,000 mile round trip is going to be a big ask for any team. It may be that this can excuse the conservative tactics and apparent lethargy, however now isn’t the time that can be stated with certainty, rather when we return from the international break and without any excuses show that this was exceptional rather than business as usual. Make no mistake, convincing league wins against Dundee, St. Johnstone & Livingston, getting into the semi-final of the league cup and as a bonus taking anything back from Spain will turn the tide by the end of the month. With that sort of momentum the new year game will be the moment the media realise the 55 is on this season.

That’s grim, won’t even cover half the bears travelling for this. Any idea of prospects for the home end or failing that if there’s suitable places to watch it near the stadium?

It’s so bad it’s a work of genius

The UEFA Cup in 2008 would’ve been a historic win but given everything that’s happened since, the next league win is far more important.

Never seen one for sale, will keep a lookout for them though and let you know. What was the original price/any idea what they’d retail for now? That guy on gumtree seemed a bit desperate listing it at £150 and then dropping the price, so presume you’re likely to pay more than that.

It’ll take a career ending injury for the powers that be to take notice on the state of these plastic pitches.

Thought this was a big gig for him so early, a wee bit of grafting in the lower leagues awaits.

The visa process is a nightmare, good luck getting it sorted on time and to boot it costs a fair bit and they demand details of all your social media accounts. Should be fine so long as you’ve not criticised Vlad?

Eel get ma coat

Kris Boyd was quoted in today’s Times saying he was an easy target to wind up and the Killie defence will be doing just that on Sunday. Said the ref was going to send him off in a behind closed doors game last year, didn’t know about that one - anyone any idea where/when that was?
