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.

St. Johnstone FC‏Cuenta verificada @St_Johnstone_FC Snow showers continue but this is the 3.20pm view https://twitter.com/St_Johnstone_FC/status/968506192942260225 Surprised Martin Bain isn't down there in goal.

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.

Tonight we go for a 4th consectutive league win, for the second time this season. It's not easy, the sheep are the only other club to have got 4IAR league wins this season.

Whilst there is an argument to be had regards such a balance, I think continuity and winning make the answer easy. I'd say that subs could get more minutes in certain situations and cup games against lower league teams is where to experiment, slightly.

If a settled team keep winning then I don't mind predictability.

The refs get paid more for officiating at a match than a fair few of the top tier footballers in Scotland do for playing in it.

Better to leave such experiments for the Falkirk game IMO.

If we want him come the summer then we'll have to register an interest/make a bid. At which point, unless Martin Bain joins them, QPR will be fully aware that they are in the box seat come any negoitations regardless of what GM may say at this point. If the lad plays first team football, does well and feels wanted he may help our case.

I'll join you with that helping of humble pie. He's played 4 games of a full 90 minutes for us, the first four of his professional career.

Depends how you see it. Maybe he wants the player to feel wanted. Besides, as a manager you definately prioritise the present, especially if you might be gone come the summer. Getting a good few positive months out of a loan player would be a better than average return and a start.

Williams did report with some detail and critically of SDI/Mr.MASH involvement back in the day so for me this is to a degree, consistenty and a newspaper meeting audience demand/commercial motive. The reason I flagged it up was more his timing. .

In other words, the plea of mitigation from BBC Scotland.

The values appear in document registred at Companies House and if you add all parts of what assets are being used, it seems to come to well over the 3M figure. I can appreciate that Edmiston House may now not be worth what we paid for it and the realisable value for other parts may be less than stated but there is quite a jump from what was initially quoted as security and now. -------- IMO the Edmiston House purchase from MIH/Lloyds reeks but that is another story.

Given that Alves is available and John is out there is a slight possibility but Murty seems to prioritise continuity regards team selection and whilst we are winning, I'm not complaining.

Martin Williams took his time getting that article out. Perhaps he'll tell us that we've signed Greg Docherty in tomorrows exclusive !

Will be surprised if that isn't the team.

I remember Pedro playing three at the back up in a midweek fixture up in Perth and it was effective, middle to front for about half an hour.

It only mirrors some of the changes in society over the decades. Football is an incredibly popular vehicle that was always going to be squeezed and the distribution of wealth was always going to be evermore skewed.

Some of the clickbait pish that is served up online by many 'newspapers' would have embarrassed the Sunday Sport headline editor. They are comics without the redeeming feature of humour.

That's an extreme long shot. Mexican pundits expressed the thought that going to Rangers under Caixinha might spark his career aftera prolonged lull, no. Some may have thought returning to Mexico with Cruz Azul might get him going, no. He seems to have retired from professional football without actually telling anyone. #Payoff

The money at the top end and the way of going about business is a real turn-off for me when it comes to following 'general football'. A good example of the worst of this is Neymar and his antics at PSG, who seem to bend over backwards at the players whim.

Aslong as a ref. will do the same for both teams, I'd agree.
