  1. Delighted for him. A definite favourite of mine over the years.
  2. I could be misremembering, but I'm sure we had a goal chalked off when we were still kind of in it at 3 - 1. That may have changed things.
  3. I've never left a game, but watching us get scudded 5 - 1 off Hibs in the League Cup final in the snow tested my patience.
  4. I was gutted when he left, thought it was far too early in his career. That he spent most of his time down south suggests that's true. Definitely came back and improved player though!
  5. A lot is made of players/managers having a link to Rangers/Celtic, however tenuous it may be or how brief their time at either club was. Reality is, outside Scotland most casual football fans would struggle to name anyone but either of them. If he started talking about nearly half of his playing days at Morton most viewers/listeners would be baffled.
  6. I didn't really think it was that bizarre of a point to be honest. I can only think of Boyd and the Eremenko/Sammon combination when we had a striker who scored for fun. We've never been a particularly high scoring team. Not saying he should be immune to criticism, of course he should, I just think it's a bit overboard at times is all.
  7. I'm not disputing that more could have been done in the build up to the goals, or that we could have played better/created more chances. It was a bad day against a team we've struggled against hugely over the years. They may be absolutely pish currently but sh!t happens. Not entirely sure on the financials, but finishing higher up the league is surely a greater reward, especially with the potential for European football. Not that I don't want us to win a trophy of course, but I'd be more irked if we lost out on 4th spot to be honest. Saturday is a huge game in that context.
  8. A friendly reminder that only Watkins has scored more than Vass this season. The flack the fella gets is unreal. His apology and comments are absolutely spot on for me. A scunner of a result, but ultimately what can you do about 3 deflected goals?
  9. Billy Berntsson is always the answer to threads like this.
  10. Only one player has scored more goals than Vassell. He's usually involved in our build up play too.
  11. Looks like Hodgson is being shown the door at Palace, and was taken ill in training today which I hope is nothing serious as he seems like one of the good guys. Sure he's old, but he's vastly more intelligent than most of the tabloid-reading cretins who can only pick up on him having a slight speech impediment as a criticism. Oh, and he looks a bit like an owl, but that's quite cool to be honest.
  12. He didn't miss, the ball was on target and well saved by the keeper. Vassell has only just been overtaken by Watkins as our top scorer. This 1 on 1 p!sh is nearly as tedious as the "McInnes tombola" chat.
  13. Not ideal, but at least we are leading the way I suppose.
  14. The rugby really got to you, huh? There is one shot that 90% showed the grounding of the ball. It wasn't 100% which is why the decision went the way it did. I'm more annoyed about Vassell's goal not standing. It's nuts that we don't have the wee buzzer thing for when the goal like is broken. Surely it couldn't be all that difficult to implement with all the other technology now in place?
  15. He's 6"1' isn't he? Not that tall really.
  16. Wasn't aware of the changes to be honest. The powers that be seem to fanny around with formats all the time so I tend not to pay attention until they actually get going?
  17. I believe... Third is a Europa League playoff spot, to get into the group stages. Fourth is a qualifying Conference League spot, progressing to a playoff, then group stages. Fifth is also Conference League, followed by another 3 ties before a playoff. This does change a bit depending on who wins the Scottish Cup and their league position, but that's nothing new.
  18. The previous manager, Addo, resigned - which I'm sure he'd said he was going to do regardless of how the WC went. He's back with Borussia Dortmund as their talent coach.
  19. Ghana have parted ways with Chris Hughton after a poor showing at AFCoN. He was only there for 13 games which isn't much time at all, even in international football.
  20. Nae danger! Great player, unfairly maligned as a journeyman probably (not by you I hasten to add).
  21. I don't think Willie Gibson played for Ayr? Not the player any of us would be able to remember anyway.
  22. I'm not disputing that, and that wasn't my point. Slagging off our players who do what they're supposed to be doing is weird to me.
  23. We've nowt to fear from either Rangers or Celtic. I'd rather them than playing a side who we "should" beat.
  24. I will never understand the negativity around some of our players. What more is Vassell meant to do? He's our joint top scorer... Scoring early doors always does weird things to a game, but we never really seemed to be in trouble, a couple of blips aside. Fourth in the league, through to the last 16 of the Scottish Cup having beaten a side managed by someone who'll know us inside out? Can't complain about that at all.
