  1. I’m going to stick my neck out & forecast that QP will finish in 9th place. QP currently would have to get 6 points from 3 games to get above us as we have a much better GD. That assumes we lose all our remaining games but not by large margins. A win next week puts us out of reach unless they win all their 3 games, which.is very unlikely. I reckon we should be ok. And 5th place is very doable.
  2. Team looked knackered right from the start but FFS they make it hard for themselves. That Baird fluffed passback for example. We seemed unable to string two passes together and we didn't win any second balls. The Quitongo incident looked a clear penalty and in fact the "dive" for which he was booked looked as if there was slight contact. We looked a wee bit better when Bearne came on. He needs to start against Arbroath to make us more creative and let us drop the hoofball tactics. Apparently Strapp out for the rest of the season but Oakley's injury not too serious and might be back next week. Hope that info is correct as BBC Scotland are strangers to truth as we all know. Three point at Arbroath will keep us safe but FFS how did it ever come to this. Anyway at the end of the day beating Dundee United was not really expected and it didn't turn into a real hammering as looked likely at one point. Still, don't want to be going to Inverness on may 4th without at least a 4 point advantage.
  3. Use a vpn and then can get it. £15. There is a disclaimer saying it might not work with a vpn or proxy but as far as I can tell it seems to be ok. I’ll be watching from Paris tonight.
  4. Looks like a stream will be available, but not available until Tuesday. Think that could be a better option. Midweek games not geoblocked.
  5. Need a huge improvement to make the playoffs now. Win at Ayr an absolute essential. Should have enough to stay above Inverness but wouldn’t want to be only 2, or indeed even 3 points ahead of them going into the last game. Maybe Wilson will make a difference. We need a better squad next season.
  6. We need to win on Saturday. No messing about. A draw certainly still keeps us in touch 2 points adrift but losing means 5 points behind them with 5 to play and that is a mountain to climb. I hope we set up with an attacking formation.
  7. I’ll give Jai the benefit of the doubt as he hasn’t had much game time but to me he doesn’t look up to speed yet. He’s by no means slow but his electric pace used to get him beyond defenders like Maverick switching on the afterburners. Hopefully he’ll get that back with game time. Injuries don’t heal overnight.
  8. We made heavy weather of that. Two good goals plus Broadfoot hit the bar with a header at 0-0. QP looked feeble up front although did have a couole of close things. I was shocked how much pace Quitongo has lost. The previous Quitongo could have outrun those defenders easily but currently he looks done. Not a great game to watch but got the win and now 8 points clear of Inverness who only have 5 games left. So far they have roughly 1 point per game olayed so looking like ending with maybe 37-39 points. I’d say we should be safe. A win at Airdrie needed next to edge us further ahead of them, and a win at Ayr, would set us up nicely for a playoff spot.
  9. It's maybe the case that Dougie was reasonably happy with the squad and didn't anticipate we'd be so affected by injuries in February and March. He already has another striker lined up for next season ) and I would hope that Oakley could be persuaded to extend his contract so other than a short term signing until the summer, what did we really need prior to the transfer window closing? We were on a decent run and it would have been reasonable to expect that to continue in some shape or form.
  10. That sounds outrageous. Firstly, they should be stating the price inclusive of VAT as most folk won’t be VAT-registered and so won’t be able to recover the VAT. Secondly unless the event has been seriously upgraded since last year, a price increase of around 140% is indefensible. I know they want to make a profit but at those prices I can’t see many takers.
  11. Glad I missed that one. Sounds like an absolute clusterfuck.
  12. Partick’s defence is not rated too highly, so if no Oakley we might be better to have someone else up front with Muirhead to take advantage. Crawford hasn’t scored for a while and I’d like to see him in a reasonably forward position for this one. Is Quitongo still out?
  13. Think you’ve maybe just got something salty on your hands.
  14. Where to start with that intemperant rant? I suggest you yourself relocate to general nonsense where you can shout into the echo chamber. My political beliefs are none of your business but rest assured I will never ever vote for a unionist party, and especially any party which sees genocide occurring and refuses to condemn it, as is the case with both the main unionist parties. They probably chime with your own values perfectly. Now can we please get this thread back on topic?
