Oops, sorry folks just seen reference to this topic under the ex-players thread.

Now that Malky has been sacked by Wigan perhaps Billy will get a game for them. Either that or he'll be shipped on. Perhaps we can get him back on loan?

You're not alone in thinking that Big G. I've been saying that for a few weeks now.

Dundee are probably the worst team we have played at home this season. So the fact that we have not put them to the sword is so disappointing. We laboured for so long today it was sending me to sleep. Most annoying was getting a free kick inside their half when we should have been attacking but then passing it all the way back to put our keeper to put him under pressure. How negative was that? I now fear we will be taken apart in or next 4 games to the point that our season will finish as a huge embarrassment.

I reckon we will either get part of the south stand or most of the west stand (old Rangers end) with a capacity from 5,000 to 12,500. In fairness we should also be offered a similar deal to the H*bs in terms of ticket prices - £5 to £23. I'm not waiting for travel plans to be firmed up either given the hassle with LC semis and final last year. Will just drive there and back in one day but try to call in on old friends at Cambuslang Bowling Club beforehand.

Seems like they are still running on empty. I thought the last 10 day break from games might have re-charged the batteries. Yes, they have got into third spot and a semi final but I fear playing the way they have in the last 5/6 weeks they will struggle to win another game. I really hope they can prove me wrong.

The SFA and TV companies, what a shower of effing disrespectful ignorant sh***-bags. Once again our fans are put at a disadvantage and extra cost. I doubt we will reach 2000 given all the hassle with travel arrangements.

Good footage - sell it to the BBC. Also from the position of the camera the person filming could have been one of our fans?

The second time in less than 2 weeks that TV evidence proves that Shifty committed assaults on opposing players and yet by declining the fixed suspension offer his club effectively deny it happened, again! They are unreal.

Torture to watch at times but we were clearly the better team. Now we need the SFA to quickly confirm the date of our semi so I can book our hotel room in Glesca. Surely that can be done regardless of whether it's Sellick or the Arabs.

If we get through I would imagine that tie would be on the Sunday (19th). Another easy passage for the H#bs to the final too?

But at least we are in the draw.

Disappointing when you see the sunshine now but I couldn't get to the game today anyway. However, I can go on Tuesday.

What are the dates for semis?

Maybe so and it looks like both should have been sent packing. But this is where the thought of "Keep the Head", smile and walk away comes in to play. Not easy to do for most but should be the instinct of a professional footballer playing for a team in great need of discipline, example and togetherness. Surely one for the compliance officer to look at closely. From that clip it was clear that Ciftci pole-axed Warren with a forearm smash to the back of the head.

2 points dropped. Like a bad dog owner we couldn't hold on to a lead. Our defence all at sea for their first and third goals. Saying that Killie got lucky and were helped by poor refereeing. MacLean paid more attention to his spray foam settings instead of picking up blatant elbowing and shirt holding by McGennis and Pasquale all the way through the game. Nick Ross was also fouled before the free kick for their second goal. I agree that our attacking faded in second half. Marley needs more help up front and it was too soon to blood Calum Ferguson.

Yes, all initiatives to increase the crowd are welcome especially as there will be no live TV coverage. However, I thought that the TV companies and SFA were a bit hasty in deciding on which games would be transmitted live. They should have at least waited until after the Berwick v Spartans replay last night. There again when did they ever have any common sense? By the time the quarters are played we will be the only team of the eight not to have benefitted from live TV revenue. We have been shafted yet again by the Central Belt monopolists!

That's another 2 points Beaton cost us. We would be top if it wasn't for him. BBC highlights attrociously short - less than their own website. Yet we had to endure more from the League Cup semis after full highlights of the first one on Saturday night and a live game between the dark forces of evil yesterday. More bias against the clubs in the Highlands.

Our usual slick passing game spoiled by our own pitch today. Roll on the new 4G surface. I thought Marley did well for first 60 mins but we dropped back so far after that point that Ross and Williams offered little support. County's misfits/loanees somehow managed to get it together and grab a point. Motm Tremarco's mis-tackle on half way led to their goal. We weren't helped be another inept performance from ref Beaton either.

Apart from the first 10 minutes we were well in control. It was 2 going on 6 nil. Only our own defenders worried Deano with back passing and Shinnie's miscue over the bar in 5 minutes. Some nice inter-changing of passes between the half way line and Saints box although over-cooked at times. Good to keep the run going and now only 3 points behind the over-rated Dons.

Ridiculous to call it off that late esp with travel issues with weather the week. What is the point of having Under soil heating if it doesn't work properly? I watched that 24 minutes of farce from Ibrox last night, a game that should never have started. Just showed how refs get things wrong. I guess the Huns couldn't afford more than two brushes to clear snow off a pitch given they need £8 million to run the club before the end of this month. Not enough folk in the stadium to help do that either. Lol

I've already paid - £300 for my season ticket. Fine if we get significantly more new fans on the night but the question is how can their interest be sustained? Bring a friend for a fiver and free entry for under 16s doesn't appear to have resulted in a noticeable increase in our gates. On the other hand Stuart Bathgate's article in today's Scotsman on the state of the Scottish game gives a lot of reasons why we and other provincial clubs just can't get enough fans through the gates these days.

It is the Christmas period, so I guess it's appropriate, right?! Argh, predictive text again. Except that it was the men from the east that brought gifts not the other way round. Dons fans seem to think they should have had more - a penalty and us down to 10 men. At least Calum Murray didn't think so but why he didn't at least book Badwillie for deliberately pushing Warren in the back was unbelievable. Draper was sent off for less intent in last week's game.

I think Hughes has lost the plot. His tactical nativity was shown today by not exploiting the weaknesses of that Aberdeen back four. We showed them too much respect instead of getting in and about them. Watkins should have been leading the line with Ross and McKay harassing their back four. Instead we drew back far too deep especially in the first half when Tansey, Christie and Shinnie were chasing shadows. Both Tremarco and Doran were off the pace and should have been hooked at half time. Why did Deano waste so much time pondering what to do with goal kicks? Aberdeen are not that good a team. I was so frustrated with our play that I will not stay sober to be fit to drive and make the effort to go to Tinkerville on Thursday to potentially suffer that again.

Are you Yogi in disguise?
