just watching the Dundee QP game now.  Jesus some of that defending….

 

Arent St Johnstone about to get bought over by Americans?

How can Sam Fisher not get in that Dundee defence.

Total shambles from both sides at the back

Good stuff. The lad has done well and fully deserves his new contract. Am I right in thinking he wasn't a regular starter when Sam Fisher was here?

No dont think that's right

Think we used back 3 of fisher, bene and breen regularly 

Be good to get the clubs position on the proposed new conference b team guff

Signs 2 year deal, decent bit of business

What an absolute joke club Killie are putting so many first teamers in.

in fairness we have played quite a few first team players in earlier rounds

Think it will be similar to Saturday, neither team taking many risks.

Would like to see Little get a chance in goals and I would take McGowan out that team, wasted on the left of midfield imo

None of us like paying more for something but, if we want the manager to put out a competitive team in the Championship, he's going to need to strengthen the squad. Better players will want better wages. Income from other sources is still pretty meagre in the Championship. Once taxes are deducted, less than half of your £21 is profit. Factor in inflation and you'll realise that David Cook has made a very good job of squaring the circle.

Failure to provide the manager with an adequate budget,  would almost inevitably result in a relegation scrap next season. None of us want that. I want to see us in the promotion mix. If we can't achieve that, I want us to at least be well clear of the strugglers.

All very good. But I'm not paying a price that I don't consider reasonable, so from me they have lost £20 (which I would also consider a poor price but it's my limit I'd pay) rather than gain a extra £1.

I could get a season ticket to bring the price down but with the likely chance of a fair few games being moved to a Friday it's pretty pointless for me.

£21 for walk up, will be giving a few more games a miss at that price.

Charging more than £20 for 2nd tier football is a disgrace imo

* sent from the penalty spot in front of the Norrie 😂

Good point well made 😂😂

Hopefully the club  don't get fined for the selfish aresholes running on the pitch. Disgusting behaviour 

Thought Cove defended really well and restricted Dundee to very few chances.

Not a great game to watch but cove got thr point they went for

Excellent news. Maybe we can get Fisher from Dundee and that’s us set at CB.

Can't agree we'd be set

Think we would need one more if we want to play a back 3 most weeks as we would need cover.

If we got Fisher and Euan Murray we would be ok for central defenders, even then you'd want comrie or someone like comrie who can play a few roles over the season for more depth overall 

Think we will win this quite comfortably

think we will go with a back 3 with Hamilton or Paul Allan in the middle of the 3

I just hope McPake picks the best team available, and that means Wighton starts up front if fit.

Todorov has been ok, scored some important goals but if he moves on at the end of the season I wouldn't be too fussed, same with O'Hara

Draw a fair result

Surprised Airdrie never caused more problems after we went down to 9. But we defended well as a unit.

Will be interesting to see red cards again, watching on pars tv, missed the first one when ordering a beer and 2nd looked harsh from what I seen 

Be a tough game, I'm sure mcpake will have the players ready, hopefully make it a bit easier for ourselves this time and not give them a 3 goal start.

0-2 Pars

Is he not only 19? Plenty of time to develop into a top player with good coaching. 

By 19/20 if you aren't in and around a first time like the rangers the chances are you won't ever be. He will develop by playing more games but imo he isn't near the level of playing at that level.

Im quite hopeful that he will be our player next year

Is he out of contract at the end of the season? 

Yes, and tbh I can't see him staying at the rangers, he has had a good few games since the turn of the year but not anywhere close to getting into the rangers team.

He would be a good player to have next season if we can get him 

Was a really good performance, more comfortable than I expected tbh 

watched it on my tablet in a pub in Cyprus..... Don't worry I had the volume turned down so the locals didn't need to listen to @Raymie 😂

hopefully Falkirk get absolutely destroyed by Montrose and go on a horrendous run of form and fall out of the play offs 

Thought we were really poor for most of the game and it was great to come away with a point, especially after conceding two poor goals, although I thought for the first the linesman and ref missed a handball.

Otoo had a total mare(maybe a bit nervous?) but wasn't the only one. We played into Falkirks hands for most of the first half, we were f***ying around and losing possession due to our passing being woeful. 

2nd half we seemed to defend a bit better for most part and Falkirk only had one or two chances around the 60th minute or so and we done nothing offensively other than a goal mouth scramble from a corner

Looking forward to this 

Few of us getting the train through early and going for a few beers.

1-0 win for us I think

His hold up and lay offs were surprisingly good. 
He never got a good cross to attack. For some reason , these dried up after he came on ?

Yep something the folk I was watching with commented on.

Surprised we put O'Hara out wide as he would be better for running beyond the defenders after we win the first header

I thought Todorov was decent when he came on 

deserves a start 

He done nothing for me, but the service was dreadful imo
