Always the same 

Sutton ( *****) just said most neutrals in Scotland want to see Utd back up 

really or just him 

The fawning of Sutton and Craigen is vomit inducing. 

Oh well

Clancy really is cheating little weasel.

Been the story of our season...  missed chances.   giving away cheap goals.

How’s that a cheap goal? Can’t bargain for refereeing like that. 

What a load of fecking BS.

No, I was  referring to the Scottish championship and the fact that should a 3rd / 4th placed team make it to the play off final, they would end up playing three 2 legged matches (in a pretyty short period), whereas the premiership team only have to play one 2 legged match.

 

The only two championship sides to have made it through the playoffs in the current format are Hamilton and Livingston, both of whom finished second.

It’s funny how people are for this but as soon as Rangers and Celtic want to have colt teams everyone has a meltdown. 

If the Gruesome Twosome want to enter colt teams in the Lowland League, they can knock themselves out. It’s the expansion of the league to allow them entry I object to. 

Thanks for doing the commentary. So much better than BBC’s effort on Tuesday!

 but we never looked like relegation material under Hughes yet you blame him and give the incompetent Foran and the incompetent board that appointed him a free pass, unbelievable.

When we were 1-0 down to Kilmarnock at half-time in the first game after the split, we were in real danger of being sucked into the dog fight for the play off spot. Fortunately for us, Jamie Macdonald gave away a penalty and got himself sent off, and we didn’t really look back. However, winning 4 out of 5 after the split probably put more of a gloss on things than the season deserved. 

There was certainly a decline that season, and while it is true that we lost some of the best players we have ever had going into the season, it is part of the job of the manager to replace those players. 

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that things started to slip during Hughes final season, but the decision to appoint Foran, and more importantly persist with him when it was obvious what was going to happen sealed our fate.

OFW still has groin issues...

I thought it was kidney trouble? He kidney be bothered to play for us... or we kidney afford to pick him.

And Jamie’s goal surely should have been allowed as it was Mulraney who played it in

Thought that at the time. That linesman got loads wrong throughout the game though. Nice to see them upping their game for the big occasions.

Liam Macleod and Dodds should be chemically castrated for the faeces they talk about ICT. 

Macleod is the worst commentator on the planet. His “style” of shouting (or more accurately screeching) at the wrong time is chronic.

Does the SFA website indicate whether our special dispensation to have an outfield player make one save in the course of a Scottish Cup semi final  is still in force ?

Only applies against Celtic, I’m afraid. 

Anyway, we won’t need it

So wouldn't that make him ineligible for this game then?

Due to the stage we entered at, you need 3 cautions to be suspended. As far as I can see, that’s his only booking in the competition to date. According to the SFA website, the only outstanding suspension for the Cup is Coll Donaldson, which will be served on Saturday. All other cautions for our players have now been wiped, so they start with a clean slate on Saturday.

however, relegation is now very unlikely. Feet on ground....

We can’t finish lower than 7th.

Is MacDonald eligible to play next week ?

As he’s on loan from Hearts, I don’t think so. 

What a joke. Austin taken out, nothing. 

The officiating is laughable 

Officials are having a mare

Feck off Walsh

How’s that not offside?

Ya dancer

Draper is a complete thug ... wondering if he's trying to put players out of the cup semi the way he is throwing his considerable weight about

It's UEFA Article 48 that prevents it, so outwith the powers of the SFA or the SPFL; even if they cleared all other games.

Eleven Sports were broadcasting La Liga games during the blackout period earlier this season.

Interestingly, according to The Guardian, in an article published on 12th Oct, Article 48 is only enforced in England, Scotland & Montenegro...
