Great stuff. Hamilton in the lead. Falkirk going down, us staying up.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Yeah, Brewster, Wilson and McAllister have all scored today. And now Graham Bayne's just scored! Hope Rankin stays on the bench!

two for Miller - have I entered an alternative universe or something. I'm going to look outside in case the Cybermen are walking down the street.

Is this a leap year? Kenny Miller scores a goal - that only happens on the 29th February normally. He'll be kicking himself getting his dates mixed up (but will probably miss)

Boyd scores against Killie - as usual...

Looking a good team but this is really Brian Kerr's big test. Have the months out made him rusty or hungry?

Is there much (i.e. any) demand for that level of football in the media?

Completely up to the clubs. Could be 0% or 100%. If it's a young player looking for experience, then often the loaning club will still pay a fair chunk as they're looking at bettering an investment. If it's an older, more expensive player, then the loaned out to club can pay more as it will benefit them and the loaning club will normally only do it to reduce their wage bill and maybe put the player in the shop window.

...unlike Mr Humphreys...

Did I miss something this weekend ? We know Black is going, but are the others confirmed as going ? I know they are only on contract to the end of season but I seem to have missed any announcement on them all ? No announcement. But no announcement that any are intending to stay, which is why I've said they're leaving (so far) - i.e. unless something changes, they're out of contract and free to leave.

How did Swansea lose when they've got Wales, Scotland and Britton on their side!

What's that, the Eysenck test? Sheez, he's only got a lunch break.

I don't see right-back as a priority at all (see previous message). Tokely has always been a target for some people but I think he generally plays pretty well. Proctor of course as cover. In fact, it's probably the last position that needs strengthening with Mihadjuks away, Djebi-Zadi presumably coming to the end of his contract (should be given more matches but I'm 50:50 with him so far), Black, Kerr, Gattheusi, Foran, Eric and Morais also leaving (so far).

I can see why Foran and Barrowman didn't play together as neither are particularly mobile but with Eric doing the running, I'd like to see Imrie drop to the wing and Foran pushed into his best position.

Esson Tokely Munro Mihadjuks Djebi-Zadi Proctor McBain Kerr Imrie Eric Foran Proctor lying deep. Foran and Imrie used where they're most effective. Kerr NOT the marking midfielder as he's more of a touch player. Eric doing all the running the way that Imrie has been but Foran right up centre to score the goals. Rooney and Vigurs key bench players.

Mixed emotions. Didn't think we'd get anything out of it, yet needed 3 points. Didn't lose or gain ground on Falkirk. Every week it's going to get more difficult to get out.

Falkirk drawing. Bad news! No further behind but we need a bit more.

No Duncan and Black next week. Kerr and McBain? No doubt most will shout for Vigurs but Butcher likes experience.

Duncan's been one of best players this season. Don't think he's anything special but way surpassed my expectations this year.

B*gger

Russell Duncan - a true professional!

We've all done it, so give us YOUR team & tactics to play the next match...erm...Dundee United if you're not sure

Apparently it's three from Formartine United, Turriff United, Banks o? Dee and Strathspey Thistle that'll get through. I'd imagine Strathspey will be a shoe-in with Elgin having left. Maybe Banks o'Dee to involve Aberdeen? So Turra' or Ellon?

Yes, but he can't flick it up with his foot then knee it back.
