Karen Gillan must have some Hollywood contacts to make a copycat 'Welcome to Wrexham'

But they already looked at a Scottish club before decided Wrexham, apparently the ceiling is too low in Scotland

Scot Gardiner staying full time probably!!!!

Unless he's lost during the restructuring, would be such a shame ...

Just seen a statement released on Facebook

It'll be another pornhub incident ...

Cammy has been very patient over the years. As far as I can recall he always looked decent and has never let us down when called upon. 

Pains me somewhat to suggest it but who knows, had he been playing in the games v Hamilton, we might not have been relegated? Such an unfortunate time for our number 1 to have a bit of a ‘mare (which he has apologised for on X) - but he still made fewer mistakes in the tie than most of our other players, and was one of our best players over the course of the season.

The unfortunate part of being a keeper, if you make a mistake 9 times out of 10 it's a goal, whereas if it's a midfielder there's players around you that can help you recover. I definitely don't blame him for where we ended up this season, it just wasn't to be for him in the games against Hamilton.

It’s still likely to be rather excessive relative to the amount we would be willing and able to pay now, ie since the cost cutting started mid-season, and exacerbated significantly by the relegation. Previous contract commitments risk being millstones around our neck. As for Billy, we had no credible alternatives up front.

We should just go basic 442 with Brooks and Billy

Ridgers announces his departure on Twitter.

Think it's as good a time as any to get a new keeper, while he was a solid option, there was more and more errors creeping in

Worth noting that going into administration won’t get us out of the obligation to give DF his assumed 6 figure payoff, because of the football creditors rule - basically a club that goes into administration has to settle debts owed to players, managers, other clubs and footballing authorities first, and if it doesn’t have the funds to do so it gets wound up ie ceases to exist.

Absolutely ridiculous that managers get paid off for failing at their job, if I go into my job and failed to do what I was tasked with I'd get sacked with nothing, why should this be any different?

Not ideal being a goal down, reckon a draw would have been fair. Longstaff tries too hard to get the ball to his right side and everytime got crowded off the ball, Lawson should start ahead of him on Saturday. I'd also start Pepple with Samuel up front and drop Billy to the bench

Feel like I'm about to go against what everyone else thought with my take

We've managed to get the ball into some decent spots and have forced a couple of saves, our biggest threat is down the left, when go right kerr too often has stopped and played back the way. McKay is not a 10 and I thought he was one of the worst offenders for slowing our attacks down. Feel the ref hasn't handled it well, and should have booked a Hamilton well before he did. Could argue we should have had a pen, same for Hamilton, and felt the second was a foul on Ridgers

Oops, don’t know what to do if match goes to extra time

See the scene from harry potter where he buys the whole trolley? Just recreate that with pints 

Would like to believe it's some mad 4d chess being played, to preserve our energy for the next game and potentially the final? That would definitely be giving the management team far too much credit though 

Just realised McAllister scored with his left last night, imagine he had learned that skill back for the Raith game

To the game itself,  what was Muirhead (not) thinking? That was a Derek Adams level meltdown! Wouldn't be surprised if he's broken a few toes kicking the wall on his way off nutter!

I guess the club will receive a substantial fine for the object thrown on the pitch after Broadfoot's goal. Typical Scottish football double standards; the authorities turn a blind eye/deaf ear to 50,000 idiots spouting sectarian bile every week, but one moron in inverness and they throw the book at us!  

Bit of ott shithoosery from broadfoot imo, who was well received here when playing for us. Daftie!

To the playoffs we go. Who knows how that will turn out. I'm sure we'll get whatever we deserve!

 

Now we get to renew pleasantries with Gardyne in the playoffs

Where does everyone think it went wrong then? 

Never recruited a striker to challenge Mckay, found a system that worked with Wotherspoon and when he left just decided a park the bus system was the way to go instead finding a Wotherspoon replacement, no plan B

Thought the second half was really good, and we go into Tuesday's game with some confidence, not ideal but we've left our best bit of form until the end of the season with too much to do

Yet again absolute joke of a linesman and referee have cost us. Referee and standside linseman are simply not up to standard. Will we ever get a decision as it also looked like we could have had a penalty at the end of the first half yet inexplicably the ref gives a foul to Morton.

Got it on a very pixelated stream so couldn't see what happened but the team was raging about it

Looking at stats in the other game, don't think Airdrie has shown up to play tonight

Think we need to start to build momentum so must win this, either we go into playoffs with a bit more confidence or we're safe. We play like we did against Raith a couple of weeks ago and get a slice of luck, we can do it.

Prediction - heart says 2-0 win, head says drab 0-0

Brings Pepple on who hasn't done anything for us and leaves Roddy on the bench! If we go down at least we should be rid of Dunc and Gardiner.

Quick insult another player

On another day we win that by 4 or 5, MotM goes to the woodwork followed by Raiths keeper

Thought first half we were in control but lacked that bit quality to finish the chances

Second half we were ***** for the first 10-15 mins and got punished by Raith. We picked it up and Samuel was unlucky not to get a hat trick. McAllister looked driving the ball forward but only really troubled the keeper once.

Overall, thought our best chances were from corners or counter attacks as soon as the press blocks the CBs from midfield we pass along the back line until we launch it forward

I’m struggling to think of many direct free kicks we’ve scored in recent years. Having to go back as far as Barry Robson for the last player I can recall who you could trust to either score or at least make the keeper work hard.

I still have nightmares about Chalmers smacking the crossbar against Hearts in the cup semi final 5 years ago ...

Great 3 points, and glad we didn't crumble when they equalised.

Only saw the second half, but I feel we're coming to regret letting Welsh go. We sit with the ball between 3 CBs and no midfielder is dropping deep to collect and push play forward. We spent the 25 mins of that half just launching balls long into the wind, if we're going to do that, lose a CM and have another striker up top. Once they went down to 10 men we pushed forward and we're able to create a few things.

Positives though, we've scored more than one, thought the defence handled what was thrown at them for the most part, and Big Dunc started with a win Arbroath so here's hoping for another hot streak

Sorry hopefully Anderson is a typing error above.

wotherspoon could see a pass and then execute that pass.

anderson is a grafter in midfield. His first touch  usually heads to the sky and his next touch is a tackle. (thats what happened when he was red carded trying to take the ball down from head height after a poor first touch).

Arbroath play their game in hand on us tonight against airdrie. We will be still 9 or 8 or 6 points in front with a 34ish better GD going into Saturdays game v Arbroath with Queens Park playing Dundee Utd same day.

big game Saturday, huge game the next week.

All to play for.

Win for us and DU on Saturday get the bus booked for the hampden showdown 

 

Like I said, not a tactical genius... I was always thought Anderson was supposed to be an attacking midfielder hence why I said him, my point was the system with Wotherspoon worked and seemed like instead of trying a replacement in that position we've gone for a park the bus mentality.

I think we have to be looking at getting at least 9 points from the last 5 games, unsure if that will be enough to leap frog QP but we would be feeling more confident going into a playoff

probably systematic of the realisation that Wortherspoon was the creator and scorer of goals on our good run and that the club could not (or were unwilling to) afford to keep him. Therefore we have a 35 year old up front who's form has plummeted yet is still our best hope of a goal and absolutely no fight or creativity in midfield. Meaning we cant score and if we want to at least try keep a clean sheet to have any chance of a positive result a defensive formation is the best hope and try **** fest our way through the rest of the season.

 

Think that's what baffles me, we were quick to move away from what worked with Wotherspoon when he left but we've had 3 months of ***** playing with this new system and doesn't seem to think it needs changing. Instead of slight tweaks, we go full defensive with a 5 at the back.  I won't pretend to be a tactical genius but I always thought the 5 at the back systems were much more complex and difficult to get right, when we could have had Anderson or McAllister in at wotherspoons position.
