His brother Ross Macwhirter also no longer with us. He was murdered by the IRA after unwisely making some derogatory remarks about them.

There was a similar situation at Hamilton a few weeks back with a couple of a$$holes in our support giving Blackie dogs abuse.... and that was before the game had even feckin started.

The only sightings the midfield had of the ball yesterday was when it about 60ft above their heads.....

It was totally unacceptable. Apart from giving the appearance of suffering from a collective hangover, it was obvious that they had not prepared for this one - tactically, or in any kind of a way. I'll be interested to see what steps our recently installed new management team take to avoid further decline. We need some answers from them.

You certainly won't need it next season.... ;) :thumb04: :018:

Falkirk would be top of my list for the chop after the shameless way they cheated us in the cup tie. Still.... We'll get some revenge for that on Saturday..

Is there a pub anywhere near the ground by where our lot will be meeting up?

I agree with Mantis... I'd go with the same line-up that beat Rangers at Ibrox.. Esson Tokely Munro Mihadjuks Djebi-Zadi Proctor Duncan Black Morais Foran Rooney

It might not be pretty to watch but the important thing now is that under Butcher we've become a hard side to beat again... 3 points next week should see us virtually safe.

I wasn't at the game today, but I suspect nerves probably played a big part in the poor performances... Sounds to me like they actually put up a better show last week against Falkirk with 10 men... Great 3 points though.... Sets us up nicely for the big one next Saturday..

I hope we do stuff Killie, but this wee team of ours have an awful habit of doing the exact opposite of they'd be expected to do.

I'd love him to stay but can we offer him anything close to what Hearts will be paying him?

I thought we totally out-played Falkirk yesterday - even with 10 men - In fact for me it was one of our best performances of the season.. Falkirk were crap and were handed an unlikely victory thanks to an inept refereeing performance. I've got no fears for the 21st.... although we did take a good support to the Hamilton game which didn't do us much good...

Take it all with a pinch of salt Lizi dear.... Sadly he knows very little about football, but happily he just happens to be the funniest poster on here...

Barr put his face right up against Duncans.... Maybe it was his oral hygeine problem that sent Russel crashing to the ground...

Good to see sexism is alive and well....

Make sure you've plenty of sick bags in your car Naelifts!

Similar to DavieB's... Esson Tokely Munro Pavels McBain Morais Imrie Kerr Black Foran Rooney

Agreed.... There's a lot of it about....

I'd say Finnegan "cheated" by going down very easily in the box. He gained not only a penalty kick for his side - but also got a "fellow professional" sent off for little or next to nothing. Events such as these that unfolded yesterday have been part and parcel of the game for 100 years or more - I for one suspect they always will be.

Lionel got suckered into that one Mannie... Even you could have stayed on your feet after a "challenge" like that!!

Great post - Totally agree...

Finnegan went down very easily to get not only a penalty - but to get Lionel sent off at the same time... It was a feckin awful decision....Duncan must have felt as frustrated about it as I did.. he was only trying to even up the numbers... It is part of football FFS... it has been for a long time now, and it probably always will be... The first thing you have to learn as striker is that if someone makes the slightest contact with you in the box then down you have to go... And while we're on the subject of cheating... Let's not forget one of the finest goals ever scored in the history of the game... Diego Maradonna outwitting Butcher and Shilton and England with the "Hand of God".. :thumb04:

You could name any of our alleged strikers who couldn't put the ball in the net.... It's supposed to be a team game. At worst Djebi-zadi gave away a penalty yesterday... There is no way he should have been sent off... It's a crazy feckin rule that anyway and it's ruined many a game over the years... Awarding a penalty should be sufficient punishment for conceeding a foul in the box...
