I hope Mo is the answer. Perhaps he is. I'm not sure to which question, though.
-
Not quite sure what happened at Dundee. Hartley did well at first and should really have the players to avoid danger.
Same as Richie, I suppose, apart from the doing well at first bit.
-
Do I remember us once going through a bottom-six post-split winning every game 1-0, or did I make that up? If I didn't make it up it was during the Charlie C era.
Get yer track suit on, Charlie.

It's a statement that means 'Stop bothering us!'
It's a ghastly situation. I'm convinced sacking Richie would solve nothing (who would want to replace him at this stage?) and I don't even think it would help right now for the board to sack themselves. Who needs that disruption when we have a handful of games to stay in Spiffle 1?

After Yogi went I pointed out that Gus McPherson had managed to get Queens Park into promotion contention in League 2.
They got promoted, and they are doing very well in League 1, with an outside chance of the play-offs for the Championship.
Remember, he's working with a lower wage bill than Richie - zero, for Queen's are still amateur.
I hate the idea of giving Richie the heave, even if we can afford to do it. But if he does go, we could do worse...

On Radio Scotland Barry Wilson said it was the worst ICT team he'd ever seen.

The 'demise' may be more of a case or return to our natural position in the pecking order of Scottish football after years over-performing.
Not sure about this - look at Saturday's opponents. Not dissimilar size of town, same problem with local Old Firm numpties, difficulty in bringing in supporters. But despite a dodgy recent run they're safely in the top six.
Glass-half-empty - look at St Mirren, similar size of town, even bigger problem with local Old Firm numpties, and until recently they were in freefall.
Summing up - something gone awry. Agree with those who suggest the journeyman route worked for a while, but isn't working now. Need to develop more players and also rediscover our former trick of acquiring young Scottish players who had underachieved at their first clubs and bring them on (like, say, going way back, Robson and Wyness).

In fairness, The Rangers have won a Challenge Cup. But then so have we.

Coming late - but I was delighted with the performance, the attitude, the fight (but 'fight' without the stupid challenges that cost us so badly at Sellick Park). Rode our luck a bit once or twice (some of the Jambo shooting was terrible) but deserved the point, at least.
Won't be at the game v the New Club but I consider them a poorer team with poorer players than Hearts. They are also skint, having one of their regular crises, and wobbly away from home. A performance like Saturday should be enough for at least a point.

Not mentioned by the pundits, of course, but he kicked out in retaliation for Brown deliberately stepping back onto his foot - Brown knew fine what he was doing.
At Sellick Park Broon could run amok with a firearm and would be unlucky to get even a yellow. However, today we'd still've been horsed if they'd had 2 or 3 sent off.

Very grateful to the man-fl that kept me from the game. At least at home you can switch channels when it gets painful.
Have tickets for Tynecastle as well. Wonder how long this bug will last...
-
He'll be ideal for ship-steadying at Rovers. They were a good side last season but have gone into freefall of late.
Oddly Yogi's new appointment is likely to go largely unnoticed given the 'He's gone!/Naw he hasnae!' comedy over at the new club.

On the 8th I pointed out to a Celticular colleague that it was our Seventeeno Jubileeno. It was not well-received.
In all honesty a win - arguably even a result - on Saturday would be a bigger shock than yon game. However, I will be there hopeful and expectant. And expectorant, because I have a cauld.
-
Well, ta, Kingsmills, there goes ma wan straw.
Whatever the outcome, anyone who feels like more fitba afterwards, why not pop along to this like I will be? A two-pie day.

Have happy memories of this...

I notice in this report the BBC mentioned Michael Fraser's save, but it rankled that it was missing from their 'highlights' at the time (or was it that STV shambles then?).
Recall Strachan being utterly classless in defeat, rather as he is in his 'management' of the national side.
Ten years on, Don Cowie is still able to stick it to the Twins of Evil, I note.
-
Definitely going to go.
On the bright side, if there's a poor turnout from ICT, I doubt if it'll be much of a draw for Celtic fans either (albeit probably more will come from the Highlands to support them tan ICT). Big empty spaces in the stands. Might help us, more used to playing in ghostly empty stadiums, rather than them.
It's my straw and I'm clutching it.

It doesn't seem to be working but I hate ditching managers which can in itself be hugely disruptive - especially given that, realistically, ICT aren't high on the keen-to-go list of even desperate, out-of-work managers.
Some posters have been suggesting revamping the coaching team and set-up to provide Richie with more and better support/advice. That's surely the best option.
(Preferably before the cup tie at Celtic - most of us have already written that one off but in our present state, losing 3-0 at Accies, the trip to Across the Road from the Emirates could be embarrassing)
-
There will be a cash gate, I hope? Accies were still trailing yesterday's game as their next fixture when I looked at their website.

Not a 'must win' more of a 'if we can't win this what can we win?'.
Gonnae be a long, cold night in Hamilton on Tuesday...

Other than financially it's a terrible draw, but;
- It was a draw full of terrible draws. Other than Stirling/Clyde or Ayr/QPFC I'd have been feart of any other team at the moment. Celtic is at least predictably terifying
- It was, other than financially, a terrible draw in Feb 2000. Other than financially, it was a terrible draw for Denzil's winner at TCS. And it was the worst possible semi-final draw, and we all know how those turned out.
Like, I suspect, many on here, I have no hope at all on current form, but history is on our side. Kinda.

Got one of those throwback things on the Facebook computer thingy letting me know that on this day in 2012 we'd been 2nd in the Spiffle Premier.
'Thanks,' I said.

You make a point but fail to consider the home team is OF, therefore as 50k of them will be local
Hardly - likely that more people will be travelling from the Highlands to support the new club than to support ICT.
Pelt me with snowballs if you like but though this game is handy for me, I'm not going. I refuse to give any money to the successors of the team that robbed Scottish football and is trying to do so again. Give them money and they'll only waste it.

Charles, I am gobsmacked.
Well do I recall walking past yon place en route to TCS on match days. Mad place.
In Glasgow it's said the local Muslim population tend towards Celtic, green being an Islamic colour.
Anyway, get in about them tonight and show them nae respect.

Desperately looking for a bright side, there are potentially loads of handy trips for us Central Belters next season. St Mirren, Dumbarton, Falkirk, maybe Alloa, maybe even Hampden if QPFC do the impossible and squeeze up through the play-offs.
QotS was always one of my favourite away trips. Livingston probably about the least favourite, excepting Ibrox and Parkhead.
