Having almost dropped 2 points today all my belief was almost gone. I now know this 4 point lead is NOTHING. It can easily be thrown away and we really need those 3 points on Tuesday, putting 7 points on Dundee would be an excellent turn around from being 15 points behind. The pressure would be on them to beat Partick away on saturday which i am thinking about lending my support to Partick for the day.

I always find myself less likely to chant at home matches than i am at away games for the reason that everyone else is quieter. In general away support is better and i have found us to be excellent fans on the road over the past few months. I haven't been to a home game this season so can't compare it to how it was in the past though.

My first home game of the season is against Dundee

I walked to Maryhill from Paisley for the Partick game last week (around 9 miles) and i could have walked more but my body was in agony the next day . Dunno how you can manage a Highland March walking every day.

I thought that the whole idea of having a forum was about allowing individuals to vent their feelings and opinions. It is the goody two shoe feckin attitude on here that pissses a lot of peeeple off. You can have great performances and still have a feckin moan.

I feel ma old mucker brosnon has hit it feckin spot on here without probably saying that that there are still some concerns about positional / tactical thinking and selections - akin to last season. TB has been great fer this club but he still has his flaws and his faves.

So just let peeple say their pieces - perhaps it is becos the criticisms are correct and hit a feckin nerve. Lets face it this bunch are not in the same league as the Bingham / Mann / Wilson / Ritchie and co era.

PS - dont worry about the noise at morton or Dumbfries - but expect criticism afterwards as well.

I used to agree with this but i seriously think over the past 2 months players like Duncan, Munro, Tokely, McBain, Golly and Proctor wouldn't look too bad in that squad of 2004.

was that sarcasm :004:

Doesn't quite work the same online eh?

Seriously though i think the way Rooney, Hayes and Foran have been playing is almost as exciting as Wyness, Ritchie, Robson and Bingham.

I'm thinking the exact same thing for any central belters who can't make Queens on Saturday. Fancy taking in Dundee at Partick?

In all competitions this season i'm sure Rooney has 21 goals. He was level with Grifiths on 20 prior to todays games i think.

Yeah thats correct and Foran now has 13 i think, possibly 14. From midfield that is excellent.

I reckon Foran is the best player in this league. :D

Who's won 1st division player of the year for us before? Robson and Wyness?

I'm talking in terms of total goals in a season though. If anyone has stats available i'd be interested to know the season totals for our 2 top strikers since we joined the league. So if anyone has the time or the info handy i think it would make very interesting reading.

I'm not 100% sure but i would have a pop at saying Wyness on say 25 and Paul Ritchie on 22.

Ive noticed a few comments about the team being a bit "Jaded " "Tired legs " " Running on empty "

Its their job to be running up & down the park for 90 mins even if it is twice a week !

I know Tennis is a completely different sport but when you think of the hours Andy Murray puts in

A game of football should be a piece of cake .

I always wonder this is well. Never mind Andy Murray, amateurs can play twice a week and i know the standard isn't the same but whats an extra game of football a week? I think 3 is pushing it though and thats why County will struggle.

I don't think Sanchez has been bad enough to merit a thread of his own. We should be making threads about Richie and Adam today! Not of Dan and Dani.

Here is the points for the winners of the league over the past 11 years. It shows last year was the poorest the top team has ever been and i'd be surprised to see anyone winning it with less this year.

We need 3 more wins to go onto 67pts.

2008/09 St Johnstone 65pts

2007/08 Hamilton 76pts

2006/07 Gretna 66pts

2005/06 St Mirren 76pts

2004/05 Falkirk 75pts

2003/04 ICT 70pts

2002/03 Falkirk 81pts

2001/02 Partick 66pts

2000/01 Livingston 76pts

1999/00 St. Mirren 76pts

1998/99 Hibernian 89pts

There should be a separate thread for programme collectors.

I agree, i've got a fair collection of programmes now and always like to add to it.

Probably pointless but may put some people in a calmer mood leading upto todays game, i am certainly a bit nervous about todays game.

We have now beaten Raith 9 games in a row leading back to 2002.

We are unbeaten against them in the last 15 matches leading back to 2000.

In those last 15 matches against Raith they have only managed 7 goals.

In those last 15 matches against Raith we have scored 36 goals.

Raith haven't scored against us in the last 5 matches.

Now for the stats that matter.

We are top of the league and they're no.

Raith are playing Dundee Utd next week and don't give a monkeys about our game.

What a load of sh*te, Stats mean nothing....NOTHING

You'll be watching Football First?.....

Subs - Allison, McBain, Eagle,Ross,Djebi-Zadi

I'll be jumping on the Glasgow train at Paisley on my way to Greenock

I think that's our third or fourth GOoJFC.

Penalty against Ayr in stoppage time, 4th minute of stoppage time today, 89th minute penalty against Partick a while back also our 3rd goal was apparently 5 yards offside...

So with 5 games to go things are looking really good. Going by previous performances earlier in the season we managed 11 points from the remaining 5 matches and Dundee managed 11 points also with no one losing.

That was close today - and then there were 5.... :hiding03:

Raith were the easy ones today i think... Morton and QOS away will be the real tests. I'll take 4 points from that.

Ill be there, Cappielow has been my favourite ground over the past 2 seasons. Prices and atmosphere has been excellent.

Can't believe we've blown it again, We should never be losing two goal leads! AHHHHHH

At least we won but we made hard work of it, Maybe this is stuff champions are made of though. Will be interesting to see how we performed.

Overhead! YAAAASSSSS, WELL DONE ICT! Ok so now we need to win on Tuesday night to go 7 points ahead...

This will be a rubbish result...But if we can beat Morton on Tuesday night then we'll be 5 points clear and pressure will be back on Dundee.

Can't believe we've blown it again, We should never be losing two goal leads! AHHHHHH
