Not gonna moan much but I'll say this - If Saints canna be arsed playing in a cup game then I canna be arsed freezing my balls off to watch that crap. I'll come back when it's warmer. Our style of play is crap and boring to watch. If Swanson and Macca ain't doing it for us then we look lost.

Absolutely ****ing livid at that decision. I'm never 1 to blame a ref but holy **** he ruined the game right there for us....
 

They used to. Teams are going to start refusing to play - a handful already have in the last few years. On the plus side, looking forward to seeing Sevco get hammered by the Uzbekistan fourth place side!

Who knows  what way this'll go.. Hope we  have sorted out  our Dracula issues and  don't ship any stupid goals.
 
A win would be grand.

"WAPs dying. We need new members". 
"Hi. I'm a new member. This is what I think."

There's no leadership on the pitch, we went a goal down and were completely lost out there. Where's the fight or determination to grind stuff out in games? We don't have that anymore without Davidson in the middle.
For me, Anderson isn't a captain.
I don't know what is going on in Wotherspoons head because he is a complete shadow of the player he can be, he shouldn't be near the middle of the park. Just a massive liability.
It's a damn good job we have Swanson in the team because we'd be in a spot of bother without him.
Any word on Zander? And while we on about Zander, is it just me or has he stopped coming for crosses?

Scottish sport reacts to Andy Murray becoming world no 1
Sir Alex: "A hero"
Sir Chris Hoy: "A legend"
Gordon Strachan: "Not tall enough"

Dunne deserves all the plaudits he gets. He was fantastic in alongside Millar and gave us another passing option that helped us win our first trophy- in fact I believe he played a huge part in our success that season and would take him back in a shot. Dare I say it I prefer him to Davidson as an all rounder. I've never heard anyone call him a legend, but he deserves the plaudits he gets for his time here.
 
 

I'd give big Jamie Adams a shot up front.  Rumble things up a bit.  

January coming up......................................
 
 

We are still missing Stevie May up front and haven't came close to a replacement. Not just in terms of goals he scored but in the way he played. 
Someone needs to explain the offside rule to our strikers.

I don't think Rangers are that bad to be honest, was at the Aberdeen Rangers game and they pretty much dominated the game, they've just got no cutting edge up front to bury teams. We'll definitely need to be on our game to beat them.

Aye cos that's a right racist comment right enough...  You're a ****ing muppet son....    make what you want of that one...

I seem to remember May only got a chance because Millar got injured in the warm up against Rosenborg and Tommy didn't have much choice in that matter.

We have to stop the panic buying of the likes of Richard Foster and start trusting the young players that we apparently spend so much time and money nurturing.. Tommy Wright, as much as I like him, seems obsessed with experience and has a distinct fear of the unknown..
Teams like Hearts, Dundee United and to a lesser extent Aberdeen see injuries as a win-win opportunity to blood youngsters.. The fans crave it and then the boss can hide behind a defeat citing untested players as the reason for the loss.. It's about time we started using our current wealth to improve the squad with real quality like Swanson, Alston and previously with Wotherspoon, Wright and MacLean(Who at the time were big signings for us)..
We don't need a squad full of Foster, Clancy, Plamen Krachunov types... we are currently blessed with a strong squad, we should be trying youth when we are down to the bare bones and adding only real quality when we can.. Either that or scrap the whole youth thing if Tommy doesn't see it as the future...
Ok we are lucky we have Mannus and Zander but there is a guy Mark Hurst, currently the only player we have representing our country at under-21 level and above, and I reckon 80% of our fanbase have never seen him touch a football. What other team outside of the old firm would have a player in the international set up, and 80% of the fans haven't ever seen him play... 

It's "wrongly" and "heads-up". Just saying, like.

I was disappointed in Saints on Saturday.  Really tough with so many defenders out, but one of the things I've come to love about Tommy Wright's time in charge is that you always feel we have a chance, regardless of being up against apparently superior opposition, and we'll be up for the fight.  Rosenberg, Lucerne, Aberdeen 5-1 away with 4 or 5 players out etc, and Celtic at home on several occasions the past few seasons.  The only other old firm lie down I can recall in the past few seasons was the 0-1 LC tie at ibrox where we gave a very average Rangers team far too much respect.
Never felt like we had any belief on Saturday in the first half at all, it was like you see from the Dundee's and Particks, beaten before the game starts by the name of the opposition.  Celtic just wanted that game out of the way as it came between the two European ties and we could have made it really uncomfortable for them.  I know we came back into it, and that was good to see, but Celtic had wound right down by then.
There seems to be a lot of hype about Celtic right now. At the minute their squad is not that far away from last season's.  Scott Brown was made to look like Pirlo, spraying passes around in midfield in acres of space.  This is effectively the same side, with one or two additions, that got beaten by a part-time team from Gibraltar.  And because Celtic fans and the media are going on about them, everyone is buying into it.
Folk on here have said how our season isn't judged by what happens against Celtic and they are obviously right, there just feels like a general air of acceptance from Scottish football that Celtic are going to hammer everyone so there's no point standing up to them.  It feels like we're heading back to how it used to be pre-Armageddon days, and it's a depressing thought.
Even the club happily turning it into a home game for Celtic and not being bothered about putting off our own support just adds to the whole feeling of lying down and accepting our place as a diddy club. Let's just make as much money out of it as we can and move on.
Probably an over the top reaction, there just feels an air of inevitability and boring familiarity in Scottish football currently, with the media absolutely creaming themselves at the prospect of an old firm title chase.  We're usually one of the few who don't buy into that shite, have no respect and get wired into them. 
Anyway, looking forward to Inverness next week, let's get the season back on track..  
 

You're at the far right Abernethy, cause you're a 'bell end' 

I was one of the people who booed Swanson at the cup game. He wasn't fit, played poorly, and shouldn't have been on the park. I made a 12 hour round trip up from England to watch that game, I paid my money and I'm entitled to express my opinion. Conversely at the Stirling Albion game I was on my feet applauding some of the great work that Swanson did. If someone's shit they get pelters, if they're good they get cheered. Nothing two faced there. PS I also abused McFadden at that game, and it's one of the few occasions I have booed my own players. I guess having won the cup the previous year, the way we surrendered it to those shitbags just boiled my piss.

Good. Bloody foreigner, going over there and taking a Polish job.
