thats just blinkered , blacks tackle was atrocious and to imply Mcdonald was acting shows that you either didnt see the incident or are in denial . The way McAnus tackles is of no concern to me , my concern was that if we had someone sent off we could easily have lost the game . Ok and if Zadi had scored a fifty yarder we could have won it, didnt happen just like blacks red card, so lets enjoy a huge improvement

Ok you dont like Blackie point made, anything positive to say about taking a point from the SPL Champions Aberdeen showed how good the SPL champions are if you have a go at them , we did well to get a point but I honestly think they were there for the taking today , half of them were blowing out their erse after 30 mins due to the 2 hours of football they played on a ploughed field in midweek . I dont dislike Black but I do not like to see assaults like the one that eventually got him booked , IMHO Black could / should have been sent off today and cost us a point . Please go and p!ss on someone else's bonfire, just for a bit, and let everyone else bask for a while. Please? How am I p1ssing on your bonfire ? I stated we did well to take a point . Basking in the "glory" of a home draw !!! Deary me , is this what we've come to ? Considering Celtics budget compared to ours and our home form over the last period, yes I am basking in it, but more importantly I am basking in the teams desire and commitment today

I would agree with this 100%, in my opinion can be even better than DD, for once the board should be smart, GET HIM ON A LONG TERM CONTRACT.

Far to early to say. Lets hope he is but I think we will have to look to players like Foran with a bit more experience at this time

Agree it wasnt the best of games but come on the guy has had 3-4 days to work on the team and then is told Cowie is not available. Our first clean sheet for a long time and a point against Celtic and most importantly the players looked like they believed in themselves, is that not enough

Did he get booked? I know early on in the game I thought he might be sailing to close to the wind

To me one of the biggest desisions Butcher made today was to play Black, like i said on another thread he wasnt outstanding but did enough to prove he was committed to the cause. For the last couple of weeks if not starting he should at least have come on in games but Brewsters ego or those instructing him wouldnt allow it. Butcher proved today he will play whoever he thinks can do the best job for the team without anyone telling him otherwise.

Good shout Matt But it was harnessed - just look at Blackie :thumb04: While Blackie wasnt outstanding today he showed he will still fight for the cause, mind you a lot of us have known he would for weeks , I am just happy we have a manager that will stand up and pick the team he wants.

The frightening thought for me is if we had managed to get even a point against Hamilton the change would not have been made. Its been to late in coming but not to late for us to stay up. Hopefully the board will now see they have made massive mistakes this season and while Butcher might well get them out of jail they have to learn from this.

I think Butcher called this right, if Cowie is going for a medical to his new employers tomorrow do you think he would have been commited in the tackle as the others were today, I doubt it

If we show the same fight and passion we did today we will stay up fighting not go down fighting

IHE you might have a few kidded but not me, I know you have brewster down there in your front room having a few drams using his expert opinion telling you when subs should be used

Great performance, the team had some fight about them. Considering we had a few injury problems it was brill. Zadi what can I say, the lad gave his all, had some great moments and some not so great but fair play he gave his all. Imre deserved MOM , Barrowman looked like he was interested, cant comment on Proctor as didnt really notice he was on the park. Foran looks like he is a player as does Eric. The signs are good.

He just got you second text IHE Vigurs coming on i have suggested Eric fer Imrie with 5-10 minutes to go - Aaargh what a miss by Imrie and then Cellic almost score - second txt - tighten it up TB - go fer it late on. Even by your standards that was quite remarkable IHE :thumb04:

He just got you second text IHE Vigurs coming on

I think Stachan might mix things up at half time and get someone to have a go at zabi this half

Another 45 like that will do the trick, working hard for each other.

take that back re imre and final ball that was a superb pass for Foran

Imre is one of the most frustrating players i have ever seen if he had a final ball he would be some player

did the Doc and that not give him any advice about Lionel, now I am worried.

Is that confirmed , hope not.

Just BELIEVE until it is mathematically impossible! Exactly right, I know for a fact the players now believe they can stay up and while they believe that we have a real chance

Love the pun

While we will never know I dont think we would have come away from these 3 games empty handed if the change that almost everyone knew was needed had been made.
