then bring in Mckay, Doran and Samuels to exploit tired opposition.
All 90 years of them And Samuels is only 23....

Only five subs named. Presumably no one else is fit?

As long as they lay on plenty of calamari it’ll be fine.
If we signed a calamari we'd get ten tackles in every game....

Plus I'm not going as I can't stand our insipid and boring tactics.
From the BBC website, I don't think it was insipid and boring today!

Was just about to question bringing on subs in the 51st minute.... and we score!
Brilliant, big Dunc!

Loans in general are good, and if you get the right areas filled with the right qualities then everybody's happy.
I've always assumed that that was partly why Big Dunc was brought in - for his knowledge of and contacts in English football. Possibly easier to get inexpensive or loan players from there than from the Central Belt of Scotland.
Let's face it - he wasn't hired on the basis of his managerial record!

Voice of doom here. I can't see us penetrating through a Premiership defence, especially if Samuel is out.
At least 2-0 to Hibs, with one of our players sent off.
Go on - prove me wrong! And check their eligibility....

I can only think that IHE ruled himself out. How could he not be "the face"?

Is Duncan Ferguson immune from criticism? That was another shocking display, every bit as poor as any under Dodds. I'm not convinced he has a clue what he's doing.
I didn't follow his career as an assistant manager, nor his brief tenure at FGR. (And I note that FGR have already gone through two other managers since he departed.)
But that is a valid question, and one which I have been asking myself recently. Yes, he must still be learning, but we could just be finding out that he's simply not a good manager.
I sincerely hope not!

we have a team that has NEVER all played together
Most of them have. 3 newcomers today? 4 if you count Samuel.
BBC says we have had 15 shots, and Queens have had 3

> I give you Aribusitamunoipirim Emmanuel "Aribim" Pepple.
Thank heavens that's his forename. Imagine getting that on a jersey!
Looking forward to seeing the line-up tomorrow. As you say, we can probably count on Ridgers in goal, but after that...

Give the match ball to Samuel now!

Yup, that's it. We were in the top flat at the left hand end as you would have looked at the building. We had four windows - from left to right they were a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and another bedroom. So you wouldn't have seen much life, even in the kitchen, because it had a deep window sill and then the sink, so you couldn't get close to the window. The flat downstairs had a back door, which they did use all the time. To reach it you went along a narrow passageway between the house and the wall, but you wouldn't have seen anything because of the height of the wall.
I remember that one of the houses on Temple Crescent - a few doors up from you, I think - was occupied by the mother of Lloyd Arthur who was an officer in or perhaps captain of the 9th (Hilton) BB. My Dad was an officer in the 5th, and knew Lloyd quite well, and hence his mother too.
As I said above, we converted part of our loft into my bedroom. One night my Dad woke me up, took me downstairs, and into his bedroom, where we could see, just a few feet away, that one of the houses on Temple Crescent was well ablaze! Looking at Google Maps just now, I reckon it would have been number 14. Can't remember if that was Mrs Arthur or not. My parents thought it best to get me down in case anything came our way and we had to evacuate, but fortunately we didn't. No one was hurt, but the Temple Crescent house required substantial rebuilding.
Much later on, my parents used to moan that one of the group Wolfstone was living in one of the Temple Crescent houses. They said "the guitarist", but I never found out who it actually was. Their complaint was that he used to practise a lot in his shed. which wasn't soundproof....
My grandparents lived at 13 Daviot Drive, which, if you are going up the road, is the last one before you turn the corner. Just round the corner at number 11 was Mrs Christie, who was Charlie's grandmother. I don't know if she was widowed or how many of the family lived there. She was a very pleasant lady, and got on well with my grandparents.

If Samuel gets 2 more he's a cup hero.
I just hope they have registered him correctly.

Why would you ask a loan player to take a penalty a day after he signs?
OK, I'll let hm off now...

Wny would you ask a loan player to take a penalty a day after he signs?

If any other exiles are interested in this book, the Trust's website now has a mail order option. (Though I haven't tried it with a non-UK address).
They have good stock of the book.
Many thanks to Mark Watson at the Trust for his help!

We couldn't score in a brothel
Exactly what I said to my wife!
Not impressed by Carragher. Too many safe, easy passes that did nothing, and lucky not be booked.
But that's not where the problem is. I have a can of 3-IN-ONE that has more penetrative power...
