O'Reilly? Now, where does that name come from? I'm just not sure. Probably just a coincidence, eh?

Personally I wouldn't be sorry to see the back of him.

Listened to Butcher's post-match interview. He just doesn't get it. We need a striker. If you can't score you win very few games. Then you get relegated.

Coincidence.

One things for sure - if we don't play one or both of the two strikers we have, until we get a new one in on loan in the New Year, we're relegated.

I went to most of them. I agree with what you say. However, it does not alter the fact that Foran is NOT a goalscorer. I have no problem with Foran being in the team - as a midfielder.

And just how often have you seen MacKay play to come to the conclusion that you would far rather see him playing upfront with Tade than Foran? Never - but I've seen enough of Foran in that position to convince me ANYONE would be better.

Rooney took a while to settle in but he showed promise and I always felt he would become a valuable goalscorer. He gained strength, knowledge and confidence in a short period of time. Tade works hard - but does not inspire confidence in the same way. He will NOT emulate Rooney. That said, I'd far sooner have him up front than Foran. Perhaps with Mackay or Sutherland playing just ahead.

It startles me that every line-up so far includes Foran and Tade.

And what evidence is this based on!!. We are having a hard enough time scoring goals as it is and you want to put a centre back up front. Where is the darkened room as I need to lie down. We have a hard time scoring goals so putting our "number nine" and his amazing tally of ONE on the bench is long overdue. I would however rather see Mackay or Shane (or preferebly both) up front for a prolonged spell. Our "strikers" inability to create or hold the ball results in our defence being constantly under pressure.

Our biggest problem is Foran wearing number 9. A nice guy, well motivated, but SO far away from being a goal scoring centre forward it's unbelievable. And he's no spring chicken so it's ridiculous to think he might suddenly improve. Sadly he has great belief in himself and in Butcher's eyes he can do no wrong. Yesterday we WERE lucky because, in the SPL, if you can't take a good proportion of your chances you usually lose.

Well, they can survive without my money - and I am sure there are many more who refuse to support this set up.

Can you think of a worse football league than the SPL? I can't. Mid-September and the Old Firm are clear at the top with two games in hand each. Personally, I couldn't confidently tell you which of them has won the league for the past 10-20 years - it just doesn't interest me. For ten teams the League is all about relegation. It makes me long for glorious relegation and entry to the Scottish Football League where every team starts a new campaign with hope and dreams. A very sad state of affairs - and little wonder the national game is in such a desperately poor state.

If you can't take your chances you are lost in this league. Tade's strike rate is not good enough. Foran is not a goal scorer.
