  1. Never realised Partick won on Tuesday. Last I looked, Falkirk and Cove were neck and neck 😂
  2. We've got the core of a decent side, I'm more optimistic than a year ago. Don't forget Falkirk. Or maybe Cove are a bigger worry.
  3. Cracking final day next Friday, shame we've not got a dug in the race. Arbroath, Morton and Ayr all playing for 8th and Dundee and Rovers playing for 2nd.
  4. Arron Lyall looks well capable. The Hearts centre is a big diddy.
  5. Yeah Cammy's struggling, although like most commentators this season, he's actually Allardice 😉
  6. Bright start but that sloppy goal has sucked all the belief out of us. Second was unlucky, third was criminal. just for the record, I never rated Storey first time even when he had his magic hat. Get rid pronto. Welsh is obviously a Hibby, he's putting it about. Not an excuse but the pitch seems too slick for what we're used to. Dead rubber next week.
  7. I've a feeling even Naelifts will stump up for this one. Or more likely invite all the neighbours round and have a collection.
  8. Must have been 0-5 v Arabs just after the Hearts game, did we not have THREE sent off? Edit - just checked - maybe just Tansey and Watkins. March 2014.
  9. That was a sickener. Really bizarre for me watching that. I had a Zoom call at 7.30 so the first half hour was fine. Iain Auld did well as main commentator (although his mic was crap) but that other balloon kept butting in. At 7.30 I muted it and put the game in a separate window, lucky my computer is 27". However I never saw the Allardice sending off so I wondered why Dundee were murdering us but I did see Adam was part of the reason. Then I never realised the Dundee goal was disallowed, it said 0-1 for ages and I thought Dan's goal was an equaliser 😂 Thought Brad's was a straight red though, terrible challenge. Then I thought Dundee had won it, the free kick straight in to where we had a centre half only seconds previously to make it 1-2. Then I wondered what was wrong with the scoreboard, till my Zoom call ended and I unmuted the last few minutes. Relief that we weren't beaten by the Dees in a league game yet. I think we're stuffed though, I predicted fifth place away back in the winter and I think it's a hill too far now. Only positive for Saturday is that Deas will get back to his best position and Cammy can come in. Edit - forgot to mute myself and let out a roar when Dan scored. Never mind, only 19 people on the Zoom meeting.
  10. 2 points Shirley?
  11. Station Bar, Tutties Neuk, Steak & Haggis Pie, Smokies 👌
  12. Marcus Fraser... 🤮 Have to admit he kept Dan pretty quiet tonight. Thought Welsh, Allardice & Deas were our top performers, and Carson first half.
  13. The Mantis replied to tm4tj's topic in Caley Thistle
    Terrific news. Keeps Uncle Roy away too 😉
  14. Excellent interview with Dan who seems wise beyond his years. Who’s his dad then?
  15. The Pars have an easier finish on paper but I’ve hardly ever seen us bottle it at season’s end. We’re slow starters but we’ve had some historic finishes.
  16. FT 0-0 at EEP. Rovers leading too.
  17. I can just about see the justification for not playing at the same time as the funeral, but moving all those fixtures is going to inconvenience loads of people. So the ideal solution would be to play the funeral under the lights.
  18. Smugglers is a tip now. The young team use it though.
  19. Don't mention it. Now in future, behave yourself 😉
  20. Done.
  21. That was fun. Amazing what a bit of confidence can do, as usual fitba is 75% between the lugs. Might have to revise my prediction of 5th.
