Kingsmills

They may not be the most popular club in England , their fans and their chairman even less so, but great credit must go to the Elland Road side for overcoming their 15 point pre season handicap in such spectacular style.

Was that the sound of bubble bursting over Tayside today ?

As the team with the worst ever start to an SPL season with seven consecutive deafeats. Thank goodness for that !

With gretna pegged back to 2-2 it might not be such a bad afternoon after all.

Good let's hope the the SFA and SPL follow the example and clamp down heavily on those who have clearly cheated.

Weren't St Mirren riding fairly high in the league early on last season ?

Even with his bank balance the reported twelve million pound pay off must ease the pain a little.

At least a decade past his best. No thanks!

I'm tempted to reply where where ? but was pleased to see Rangers come from behind last night to do the reputation of or domestic game a little good.

He's far from the only SPL player to cheat in the penalty box, others, loke our own Barry Wilson, are actually better at it being a good deal more subtle.

I'm genuinely disappointed to see any scottish side lose in Europe.

Still one of the most creative players in the squad even if he's not an out and out goalscorer at this level.

Shame, a good idea spoiled by the behaviour of a few. I suspect that the temporar stand will soon only be used to provede a bit of extra capacity for matches against the Old Firm.

Bring back the cheerleaders !

I agree with IHE !

Fraser may not be the best 'keeper in the land but he's competent and doesn't tend to make too many howlers. Malkowski, on the other hand, can be brilliant but is dreadfully inconsistent. On that basis Mikey has my vote.

That seems far too sensible an idea Scotty to appeal to the SFA. I believe that we have to try to ensure that we're represented by our strongest teams in Europe and sadly that is seldom likely to be the runner up in the cup final

Sounds like it was worth braving the elements for.

I don't see any unfairness in this move, the cup winners still qualify. What better incentive could there be to stuff one of the Old Firm at Hampden ?

What sort of crowd was there ?

Keep us posted.

For once, I'd be happy to see a United victory to keep St Mirren within our sights.

Very harsh on Christie, I thought he had the makings of a very good manager and the team was showing signs of playing more attractive football albeit sporadically. Christie did not leave because he was poor manager but because he just wasn't cut out for the attendant stresses and strains of the position.

There's no reason why we can't secure 2 wins and three draws which would give us 9 points from the first round of fixtures with a good bit of momemtum going into the next.

I was one of those who was very much against Brewster's return due to his abysmal record at Tannadice but for goodness sake he's the manager now, there have been promising signs in his first three games one of which produced a victory, albeit against Arbroath. Give the man a chance !
