Right in front of us. Ref didn’t look he was going to give a foul until it continued into the box and then bottled it when Armstrong went down.

I'm fairly sure there was an astro in the Champions League this season? So assuming Uefa have no problem with them. To be fair that competition is quite up to the standard of the scottish premier league.

Surely those two teams will have the same exemption that they have for every other rule or law?

As far as I'm aware there is a review of the academy set-up ongoing at the behest of JF? Decisions around Elite status were taken due to costs involved being prohibitive as far as I'm aware. Youth teams have had moments of success, biggest issue has been young players establishing themselves in 1st team which could be an issue with the recent 1st team managers rather than the system itself? If there are issues with the academy which can be laid solely at Fowler's feet then fair enough but I think he has stated his desire to make it successful.

We've no divine right to beat anybody or to win this league. But the way we are losing is a disgrace. Once we're a goal down we're done. Inexcusable.

There can't be many clubs in Scotland with the resources to finance those roles full time? Almost as if the rules are designed to favour certain teams...

Read an interview recently with Graeme Mathie at Hibs regarding their partnership with Brighton. Both clubs stressed that this was not a feeder club arrangement but a way to share ideas, resources etc. Is this something we should be interested in as a club?

If they want to help progression into first teams they could start with placing a limit on the size of squads. X number of players over 21 years of age for example and then you're limited to players from your youth system. I'm sure they ran a system like this in France not sure if they still do. But as usual there will be two teams this won't suit.

Worst thing is teams are beating us whilst looking poor. Aberdeen have hardly strung 3 passes together.

Think big Boyd's media work should be taken with a pinch of salt. He's working for organisations who pander to 2 sets of fans only. Basically giving to one side what Sutton has given to the other over the last few seasons. Amazingly both sides get precious when they're not dishing it out. If he took the middle line and didn't throw in some controversial opinions he'd quickly be replaced by someone who would give them headlines. Never hid who he supported but I don't think many could question his contribution when he was with Killie. Did Steve Clarke not ask him to step back from the Academy and concentrate on playing? I was also told that latterly he was playing for us for expenses only to allow for his media commitments.

In Scottish media speak a meaningless game is any game not involving the twisted sisters.

I really don't get the meaningless fixtures thing. I can't remember many Killie games where I wasn't bothered if we won or lost. And other teams games are generally meaningless to me unless the result effects us. As for Sevco and their good of the game chat if they got a sniff of moving to England or a Euro League you wouldn't see them for dust and never mind the consequences for everybody else. Stick colt teams where the sun doesn't shine.

Zombies getting all excited that we "released" as many players. Be begging for the blue pound and offering them 2 stands back apparently. Never mind that most were loan players and only 1st team regular is choosing to leave after being offered a contract. Brain dead.

Sevco fans trying to bully other clubs financially to do what they want. If only there was a team who wanted to stand up against that type of behaviour.

Is the meaningless games argument not another way of saying that only games involving the Old Firm matter? What about the seasons where the league has been won by February? Are the rest of the games for that team not meaningless? Giving teams games at the end of the season where the pressure is off would possibly allow young players to be introduced.

What happens if by some means they play out the season and Hearts move up the table? Will they then want to change their minds about restructuring? Agree that any reconstruction must be for a longer period of time than a season.

Why would the English want them? Just cost 2 English teams a place in the Premier League eventually. And they invariably cause trouble anytime they go down south. EPL hardly need the money. For me they only way they go is if some type of Euro League gets off the ground. Other Scottish clubs have allowed themselves to be persuaded that they can't/shouldn't do anything without the approval of the Glasgow twins. Is it not the case that voting structures basically allow Celtic and Rangers to veto anything that doesn't suit them?

Findlay's first yellow for handbags with Cosgrove. How he books only Findlay is beyond me. It's either both or neither. Right in front of linesman who also chose to ignore it.
