If, when Big Phil was appointed in October, I was told that by 21st April we would have reached the last 16 of The Europa League, Won The League Cup, In the Final of The Scottish Cup, and only trailing celtic by 3 points with 5 post split games to go, I would have taken that in a fucking heartbeat.

They were extremely fortunate to end up with the Australian as manager after being rejected by their main target and profiting from the equivalent of insider information on the Japanese market, a market largely overlooked in Europe.  Their signings since he departed have arguably not been any better than ours.

Their contingency plan is do fuck all and try again in a week!
How these cunts are in the position they are in is beyond me, complete incompetence and negligence.
 

Looks like it’s going to be pretty windy tomorrow night also.  If the game goes ahead, it’s likely to be a bit of a lottery in more ways than one.

But I do know what Lawrence was like pre-injury.  Is that player gone?  You clearly think so, I think he’s worth persevering with because we don’t have a great deal of quality in our team in regard to composure and picking the right final pass.  
Ok, arguably the three/four you mention have had been the pick of the bunch this season.  Only four though, we need 7 or 8 at least.  

Starting midfield of Lundstram, Sterling and Diomande (maybe slightly advanced) would be my choice.  Can bring on Cantwell or Lawrence later on in the game if we need a bit of invention.  
Its our defence that gives me the fear.

Lawrence was off the pace today but is still a good player imo.  It takes a long time to come back from a year long injury.  Doubt we’ll see the best of him until next season.

Think he’s a good solid goalkeeper, reminds me quite a bit of Chris Woods.  Don’t think he’s as good a shot stopper as either Goram or McGregor though.

With the home game against us, think they are probably favourites.  First goal at their midden will be vital in order for us to get a result.  

He had a better game than  at least 5/6 of our team today.

Lot of greeting for nothing.  Fans who’ve been paying full whack for a number of years get told they are being moved to the seats no one else wanted to buy.  Great.  Just to accommodate them and a small portion of our own support who’d rather our own fans get bumped so that they have the privilege of paying top dollar to be treated like shit at their dump.

I think that’s a cop out, the big boy made the decision not us.  Would that be the same SPFL that sat on its hands when they refused to give us tickets for the last OF game and have mismanaged the game in this country since it was created.  I suggest that the team across the city would not have accepted the SPFLs decision unless it was favourable to them financially and politically.  At the very least, I hope they were told that they would have to guarantee any shortfall in income as a result of their decision.  

As for Sky getting involved, presumably on the auspices of improving the product.  Since most of the games they cover are OF away games, why are they not getting involved in us playing away games with nearly empty stands, or games being played in plastic or cowfields.

Yep. 
That'll be the same spfl that after admitting we were right to get an away allocation at the last game sided with the tarriers that it wouldn't happen . 

Poor show from the club.  Why make the move in the first place to restrict their numbers if you’re just going to capitulate further down the line when put under a bit of pressure.  Nothing has changed from our point of view, the reasons for reducing their numbers still apply.  All that has happened is that the club looks as weak as f_ck once again and a thousand or more of our fans who have loyally stumped up for season tickets over the last few years (and probably paid extra into the Mygers scam) have been shafted.  Even the fans who get reseated will more than likely being given isolated seats, split from the people they sit with.
As for Sky getting involved, should tell them to go and get stuffed.  They’ve got a 5 year deal remaining at basement prices, if they’re going to get involved in this they should be at least made to pay the amount the club loses out financially on this. That and we should be bumping up the ticket prices big time for that lot when they come.
Additionally, if we had any future plans to fill in the corner or extend the Broomloan rear might as well forget it now.

Used to get frustrated a bit at Alfie because when he got a goal opportunity he just about always put his foot through the ball with little thought to doing anything different like chipping or rounding the goalkeeper.  After 8 months of Dessers, I just wish for once he would do the same rather than being so deliberate.

Unsurprisingly Billy completely overlooked our star striker being given a 6 week, season ending, suspension by the SFA in 1969 when just 2 points behind them.
Unsurprisingly Bill overlooked the fact that Sir Robert Kelly was the SFA president during their niar period.
Not insinuating any linkage between the above.

Par for the course.  
They have a former player living in exile in the US who is to scared to return even to play a charity match.  A lot still made in media about said player signing for us,  nothing about that lot’s reaction then and since.
