Rofl @ RiG. Teckle!

182. Blink and you'll miss them though.

I wonder if the geography has a part to play in it...

Alternative Maryhill gets my vote for his insightful posts.

If we can win the league in Ayr I'd like to see it presented there.

Any central belt based fans fancy taking in the Raith v Dundee game on Wednesday night? I'm thinking about getting the train up to it.

I'll second that. Great performance and Roy can still cut it.

Falkirk is a better day out than Kilmarnock and a lot closer so I'll say kilmarnock.

I've named Roy in my 'team for' posts for weeks. Great to see him back. Great performance yesterday too.

Main concern is microwaved sausage rolls at Somerset. All of the fans in the 1st tend to be sound as they're REAL football fans who follow their team through thick and thin, bad times and good. For that, they should be saluted and treated with respect and dignity.

Rose-tinted glasses when people seem to talk about Tokely. Is he that great? No. Granted, he's performed well this season - most notably our recent victory away to Partick where he was a literal rock. Can he perform in the SPL next season? I'm not sure.

Jonny Tuffey needs to sign for us. He needs to. We need to be entertained and he's an entertaining keeper. Is Esson all that? I don't think so. I think Mikey Fraser is a better keeper than Esson. Not that I don't rate Esson. I want to be watching enertaining football next year.

No team has looked outstanding this season in division one - least of all ours. It's a sad indictment of Scottish football in general. Have we been great over this season - no. Latterly, have we been great at grinding out results? Yes. I've thought since 2009 we were going to win the league. The 1-1 game on the 26th of December confirmed to me my thinking. More recently, I watched Dundee draw with QoS draw 1-1. Dundee that night were poor and as a result of that I posted a thread entitled 'we've won it'. Not being big-headed, but after watching that game on telly, I didn't think that ICT looked any better than either of those sides (it was a great game to watch) but I felt we were and remain much better at grinding out results. The performances this season haven't excited me. Far from it. I remain concerned about next season. Not from where we will end up in the league, but what we will have to watch week in, week out. All of this 'I believe' and get behind butcher and 'let's make some noise' won't make any difference over the long haul. Things need to change.

Jonny 'the cat' Tuffey would be an excellent challenger to Esson. Get that man signed up. Did you see his performance against us? Outstanding.

Sign up Jonny Tuffey. Release Dalneigh Caley and Renegade. Sorted.

Hiya Alex, hiya pal! Are you going down to Ayr next week?

I got evens with Alternative Maryhill back then...

*yawns*

You wait years for your user name to be accurate, then it happens in successive seasons?... That reminds me, I must take an extra ?20 with me next weekend. I have no idea how we're going to look next season. It depends who can keep, who we can sign and how well we adjust. Bottom half, I'd say, but no more than that. Alternative Maryhill, I had forgotten about that bet! Pay me in and a couple of pints will cover it bud! :D

Always optimistic, where are we going to finish next season? Is making the top tier after the split a realistic expectation? With the current management team in charge, and a strenghtening of the squad, I think it's a realistic target.

Haha! Poor Kev. Don't think he'd be too happy RiG...

I think we're going to win against the pars tomorrow and Morton are going to sneak it against Dundee. Got a good feeling about this.

I'm confident Stratford will turn in a great performance. Look at how much Eagle has progressed Caley100. He was looking sharp against county.

Esson is great. Who do we have to challenge him for the number 1 shirt though? Tuffey would be an excellent addition to the squad - after that performance against us I could see him moving down south though - premiership stuff IMVHO.

The partick shots at goal don't count. Great to see the Jonny Tuffey show again. Get that man signed up!
