Oh dear Mr Bannerman, I see your finally over your beloved labour party being given a sound doing in the last two Scottish Parliment elections and are furiously towing the party line in not even being able to say the word Independance :) Separation: ooooh very scary. That's me convinced. :)

[quote name='IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER' timestamp='1317570606' post='318674' Anyone at the game would probably agree we were not fortunate to win, it was fully deserved. It could though be argued we were fortunate that our misses didn't cost us the win, but it still doesn't make it a lucky win in my book. there is a subtle difference between fortunate and lucky and I am afraid as a forever optimist you have fallen in to the contradicting yourself characteristic - we were not fortunate to win / we were fortunate - suggest that you try and be more relective

Anyone at the game would probably agree we were not fortunate to win, it was fully deserved. It could though be argued we were fortunate that our misses didn't cost us the win, but it still doesn't make it a lucky win in my book.

Tokely and proctor were pretty immense today, G Shinnie is having a great season, and with the likes of Hogg and Gillet to come back, we should be ok. Right back is a bit of a problem for me but given a run without too many injuries I think we will fine. :)

Forans miss was worse than all of Tade's put together, it was easier to score!. Gotta love Tade though, he gives absolutely everything and despite the misses today he popped up with the winner so that'll do nicely thanks. If Butcher is reading this though, please just have him training one on one with the keepers for the rest of the season because if he starts taking just half the chances he gets he'll score 20 plus. Andrew Shinnie, who I haven't taken to yet really, had his best game yet and fully deserved man of match award. All in it's reinvigorated my belief that we can have a successful season but id like to see Mackay or Sutherland playing alongside big Tade.

We've played pretty well again today and lots of positives to take from the game, but I've come out feeling like we've lost, such was our dominance with chances superabundant. Not knocking Tade as he played well again but he's missed two one on ones, Foran's had a great chance, and Andrew Shinnie, who was pretty poor today, should've scored from a yard out if he'd only used his right foot. On the plus side, Davis looks very good, the back four didnt look too bad and even Chippendale showed up well in what little time he had. Wouldve been nice to boost the confidence further with the win but with the missed chances, we got what we deserved really.

Good performance really despite shooting into the north stand in the first half which just feels wrong! Excellent stuff in the first half, heads went down though after killie scored a peach very much against the run of play. The third goal was always going to win it and despite a couple of dodgy moments at the back when we tried to let killie score, thankfully G Shinnie kept his cool and slotted home a deserved winner. Our injury problems are beyond a joke after today but with the likes of Mackay and Tansey not far away we could do ok and I thought Tade looked excellent today so maybe things could come together soon.

Diddy cup anyway :)

Can't say that line up exactly looks like producing goals . Butcher gonna take pelters for the sweeping squad changes and hes wide open for it but there's no escaping the fact we are ravaged with injuries and could struggle for some time yet. I'm not hitting the panic button yet anyway but think this could be a long season if we don't get players back that can gel quickly.

:) I forgot Keogh got it! Aye some team though

Well done Ryan, nobody would argue he deserves it.

I'd happily put some money towards an appeal for Duncan if the club weren't willing. A yellow for both would have sufficed.

If we just finished top six like we should have we could have avoided all this!

Lol , must be two yellows I'm thinking on.

I didn't think you could appeal a straight red ?? Anyway, I thought it was very harsh and am absolutely gutted for Russell. He was playing well, on a great run that should've brought a penalty and Mair acts like a complete **** when Duncan barges him with his chest. I never seen a punch but obviously looking forward to highlights.

Just think of the money that could be saved by not blowing up half the middle east and getting shot of trident.! Anyway, pondering the fate if bases if we became independent in say 5 or more years time seems strange when the coalition in London will probably have got rid of most by august!

Aye he's definitely one we'll be cursing not getting tied to a longer deal next January if he signs again.

Think that's a bit harsh really. Forans put in some great shifts this season against both sides of the old firm and we also never had him last weekend and we were stinking. I think tonight we had a real go against a team under pressure and our players and fans were relaxed with nothing much to lose and a few points to prove. A terrific performance and I don't ever recall playing such a 'big' game without feeling any pressure at all throughout. On the negative, Rooneys won a few more admirers with that show :(

Whilst obviously very difficult decisions with long serving players, I actually agree with all but the Russell Duncan exit. Opinion on Duncan seems split between hero or zero on CTO but I see him firmly in the hero camp and he'll be difficult to replace. I know Munro was deemed too slow by some within the club but homegrown talent like Grant doesn't come along often and I hope we find a long term replacement at centre half rather than a short term or loan signing. Best wishes to them all anyway

I think the S.N.P have done very well as a minority government and Alex Salmond deserves another term as First Minister. I'll vote S.N.P with both votes . I wasn't quite sure what to expect with a minority government but what strikes me about the SNP ministers is their genuine passion for Scotland and will to improve things. I also don't buy into the unionist doomsday view on independence.I find it very patronising . This is an election to choose the next government at Holyrood. Independence would be decided in a referendum of the people and I don't see why anyone should fear or be denied their right to choose, whatever their view.

If it's anything Like a few weeks back it'll be a day or so before it's playable.

Given the chaos now, would tomorrow be an option?

On reading some of the criticism of individual players it makes me wonder if any of the posters actually attend our games.
