buster.

Should arrange it for the Friday night.

Listened to the podcast and I'd add that Tommy Wright made a comment about the Kane booking just before HT. He said that it was a coming together and not worthy of a booking. TV footage was conclusive that it was a petulant kick from Kane and by the letter of the law, should have been sent off. No-one on the programme thought to challenge the Tommy Wright view of events. Contrast this to BT Sport, where even Sutton said it was a red card. .

Don't think you can take much from that,....game was done, tools were in the bag.

IMO, once we got our fourth, Windass and one other should have been sub'd. 56mins: 4th goal 62: Cummings on for Candeias 77: Alves on for Murphy (injury) I don't understand why we don't make more use of the subs

I wonder how much of an effect Jimmy Nicholl is having wrt man management of players and a more consistent attitude ?

Job done (very well). As far as the league is concerned, we now need to beat Celtic. Best if the manager and the lads don't shout about if's, but's and title races in the lead-up to the game. Just concentrate on putting a high tempo performance in and see where it takes us.

The law is an ass ! In more ways than one.

Two professional footballers were asked the following question......... "Who's the greatest player of all time?"

She'd chew through a mouldmaster !

He's in possesssion of the jersey and deserves to play. Harsh on Holt but I like the premise, which is often talked about but practised less.

Lewis Morgan may come into the same equation next season. They seem to 'collect' these type of players but bring in Mussonda on big money for the same position. Why not loan a talented No.10 to every team in the top tier except Rangers ?....'sporting integrity' - No Scott Allan and Dundee don't beat Rangers in December. -------------- Craig made the point that you could insist that players were made avaialable against their parent club but that may be difficult to enforce.

Quickly changing subject...........

Any snow queries....... St.Johnstone SLO, Beverley Mayer. Can't help but think of

That'd be another way of doing it, yes ! Back in the day I'm sure we had a player on loan at Inverness who played against us at Ibrox, Bajram Fetai IIRC ------------ Whilst here, Ryan Hardie, the loan Ranger at Livingston made SPFL Team of the Week.

It's a bluff,...... keep it to yourself though.

I remember Saturday mornings at Primary school football matches and the sore heid from mistiming headers around the half way line from the goalies kick-out with those mitres.

Time for the...........

Aspects of his game may have been better but overall, he doesn't even come close IMO.

Better now than 8pm

I'd agree with much of that. We have to take responsibility for our results against other teams and not point towards things that comes down to making excuses. The way celtic loan players to other various top tier sides is something that strikes me as something that amounts to an 'unfair advantage'. Whether it be Ajer/Kilmarnock, Allen/Dundee/Hibs, Christie/Aberdeen or whoever.......it means those teams are stronger when they play all other teams except Celtic and it also means forced changes for that opposition going into the game against Celtic. The same happened with O'Hallaron at St.Johnstone ealier this season, so it's not just Celtic who have done it, although they are by far the biggest benficiaries. I think the rule should be changed and teams shouldn't be able to loan players to teams in the same division.

Good post DMAA You look at Aberdeen and you think if we get our act together then surely we can do that. We know we can get results in bigger games, although we really need to beat Celtic soon to get that monkey off our backs. Now is the time.
