    Hang on. You introduce "stats" to try and make your point. When the stats are shown to be of a questionable nature, you ask me what I believe? To answer your question - they have a slightly higher average attendance, and finished higher up the league than us last season, so I would guess they may have a slightly larger budget.
  2. HawkeyeTheGnu
    No. It means it is not possible to determine one way or the other. The only comparisons you can draw are in the average.
  3. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Your "stats" don't prove that St Johnstone have a bigger budget. They prove, that on average, they paid each employee more. And based on Celtic's comments on the report, employees aren't just players, so to draw any conclusion in the playing budget based on this would be wild-eyed speculation at best.
  4. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Or, according to some back of the envelope speculation...
  5. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Also, that survey is average wage - you can spend more money but still have a lower average.
  6. HawkeyeTheGnu
    I think that team would do very well - it looks to be 4-5-2!
  7. HawkeyeTheGnu
    I'm surprised you could see anything from under the bridge.

    Where to begin. The first goal was a disaster. I could see from the north stand that the marking was all wrong. And sure enough, Boyce was given the freedom of the box to score. Number two was as a result of poor organisation after McNaughton went off. We got ourselves back into the game just before half-time - great time to score, but then shot ourselves in the foot by conceding a poor third. Draper got it back to 3-2, but despite having nearly half an hour, we couldn't get an equaliser, although we created some chances. I really hope that one of Foran's talents is an ability to learn quickly. We need to work on our defending as a priority. We are very susceptible to a cross ball, and we keep letting balls bounce rather than dealing with them. There was no communication between Fon Williams and the defence, and this hesitancy led to a number of problems, We also have a tendency to try and play out of trouble rather than clearing our lines - I'd hoped to see the last of that. There was also a lack of pace and urgency to begin with. And Tansey, Draper, Vigurs and Polworth are too similar in midfield. Having said that, there were some positives. Boden does seem to have an ability to make the ball stick, and makes some good runs. I thought the three subs had good games, Horner going to right-back and Raven to centre-half actually made the defence look a bit more solid (not that that would have been difficult). Mulraney looked lively - maybe his role will be as an impact player - and Doran gave us a spark that had been missing. We actually created some decent chances today, but it won't matter if we can't keep them out at the other end. Not time to press the panic button yet. Just need to dust down that copy of "Defending for Dummies"...

    You think that if the club regularly communicated the fitness status of their players on here, that it wouldn't be picked up by the press?
  10. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Presumably to make it more difficult for opposition managers to correctly guess our team.
  11. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Oh, the irony.
  12. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Correlation does not imply causation.

    I've always got parked on Garscube Road. You can can get pretty close to the junction with Firhill road. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the ground from there.
  14. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Between letters 1 & 6 of Scunthorpe?
  15. HawkeyeTheGnu
    I'd be inclined to hang it up in a much smaller room!
  16. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Typical erse-cheek kissing, poor excuse for journalism from the weegia. Most of the other previews are equally laughable.
  17. HawkeyeTheGnu
    7 subs! Woo hoo!
  18. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Hopefully we're not. Hopefully we win all cup ties at the first attempt.
  19. HawkeyeTheGnu
    It means that there is now no room for error - we have to win both games outright.
  20. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Yeah, I mean how can journalists actually be expected to understand what's going on before commenting?
  21. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Pretty much. Why am I not surprised?
  22. HawkeyeTheGnu
    They are on 7. Win on pens v Arbroath (2pts). Win v Cowdenbeath (3pts). Win on pens v us (2pts). That makes 7 points. 3 in their final game puts them on 10 - the most we can get.
  23. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Yeah, that's what my maths says too. We are in the same position as Utd - we have both dropped 2 points (but they've played a game more)
  24. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Yeah. Hard to argue with that. His defensive work was outstanding.
  25. HawkeyeTheGnu
    Two wins in 90 mins, and hope that Utd don't beat Dunfermline in 90 mins.
