Green dot for The Long Man, spot on for me...

I liked Robbo and the style of play from his team when he was with us. He was inspirational in the run in to Helicopter Saturday and we've as much chance of repeating that with him at the helm again as we would have with any of the other names bandied about over the past few weeks - and better than most. If you are coming back Robbo then welcome, I wish you well.

Ryan Giggs is keen to get back into management and currently looking for a club - lock up yer sheep!

...and Bobby Charlton had 106 caps and got Preston relegated in his 1st managerial season!

I'm afraid to say so but I think you're right too - more likely to see the departure of the 'bad apples' than Foran :(

Yes it was a very special day but I felt quite sad that evening with the thought that it could never be this good again. I echo your thoughts about that fantastic week when we snatched promotion to the Premiership - I rate the Clyde and St Johnstone games as my all time favourite footy moments, and getting to hold the league trophy at the end of season party was pure magic!

Two very good cup finals today. Felt sorry for Aberdeen coming up blank this season, they came close today with a great effort, but hats off to Brendan Rodgers and his team for a class act this season, they deserve the plaudits. Both games were great adverts for the game of football - pity the quality of entertainment on display at Hampden didn't represent the quality of our Premiership as a whole.

A question to those of you who have been 'lucky' enough to witness the past few performances - does the nucleus of this squad have the quality and fight to get us back up from what will be a very competitive league? It will be a tough fight next season so anyone who doesn't have big enough gonads for the fray should be ditched. It's a question Foran or A.N.Other will have to pose against each squad member.

FFS just end it pleeeeez! YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!

90 minutes up yet?

...but nae hair or finger nails!!!

Grand, his singing will help keep the spirits up for the final 10 mins...

I wouldn't want to sit back for a nervy 45 minutes, would be much happier if they come out and give it a real go. If it goes Pete Tong then so be it but I'd rather go down fighting with some fire in our bellies...

The embers of hope are still there, but even if we do scrape through this week can you imagine the delight Falkirk would have in putting us to the sword? I'll bet their players are far more up for that fight than ours would be. Might as well accept our fate, look forward to life in the Championship...

I always thought it was going to easier to get out of the Championship at the bottom end rather than the top. If the board don't get themselves and the management situation sorted that will be a distinct possibility - the list of our opponents next season highlights that dismal thought. It promises to be a difficult season and we could easily end up further down the pyramid with highland derby games against Peterhead and Elgin!

Hats off to any of our fans staying in the stadium to the bitter end, it must be excruciating being there!

Oh yes we can - and I can see this happening in the Championship too, I think any one of those teams could take us with ease right now...

Could be that Foran has the same problem as my missus and can't tell left from right - she says that the only reason she's never left me is to keep the wedding ring on her left hand to guide her. Was hoping Malpas might be Richie's equivalent of my wife's wedding ring but already pretty obvious he isn't!

Worst fears being realised, are we really surprised? Oh well, looking forward to a trip to Dumfries next season and it will probably save us the embarrassment of getting gubbed in the play-off...

Hope it spurs him on, I've got him down as our first scorer Don't think I've ever felt so much trepidation going into a game though, just don't know what type of performance we're going to get tonight!

I hate to agree with your sentiments caleyboy but I do - unless something drastic changes over the summer I don't fancy our chances against any of the current crop in the Championship. We may find it easier to get out of that division at the bottom end rather than come back like we did last time.

We need to practice not giving them away too! Awesome performance and commitment since conceding the penalty - well done Richie et al

Cheers IBM, that'll teach me to read the reports more closely - like Scarlet did

Anyone know what the size of the crowd was? Soccerbase haven't published it yet...

I had similar thoughts and took a punt on Boden as first scorer for Gringo's NPL in the hope that the lower league opposition could give him the chance for a confidence booster - sounds like he passed up the opportunity.
