Wide-open McDiarmid suits the champions

189

St Johnstone are on a run of three wins, two draws and a single defeat in six games, a sequence that has seen them move away from the foot of the table.  Defeat at Livingston last midweek being the only black mark since they were being used as target practice by those in the bottom half of the table.

They started their league campaign at Celtic Park with a 7-0 defeat.  Maybe I’m just over-cautious from a few years ago, when the same result against St Mirren proceeded a cup exit to the same opposition a week later, but this kind of result can be misleading.  Those on the receiving end can use the hurt as motivation, while the team who dished out the win learn nothing useful about their opponents.

I expect Neil Lennon will have the squad ready for the battle of four consecutive away games; motivation will not be a concern.  McDiarmid Park is also a wide-open surface.  It is a yard longer and a yard wider than Celtic Park; I expect the champions to prosper.

    According to WIKI the boy Grosicki played 9 times for Poland in 20

     

    73 caps in total so imagine is a bit of a player

     

     

    That rumour has been nipped in the bud as regards to said player good

     

    nah I’m not a supporter of buying a 31 year old has been who is going to

     

    add further glogging up of our Extortion & very expensive wages bill

     

    for what where is the value in that it does not make sense what our

     

    Club should be doing is off loading the dead wood asap & investing

     

    wisely

    Yes Alasdair, but only for a couple more days!

     

    ————————————-

     

    Thank goodness.

     

     

    I went looking to see if I could gind a clip of what Bada mentioned …. to see for myself …… and came across a recent speech by the Scottish Farage lackey.

     

    He ended the speech with a vomit-inducing Braveheart style, “Freedom!”

     

    Embarassing, nauseating tosser.

     

    I’m ashamed.

    All good fella. Dark forces are constantly at it with our club. Despite a nice hun-induced feelgood few days for us they will be back at it, no mistake.

     

     

    The Hull guy story was poo-poo’d by the club this pm it appears.

    I hear what you are saying however this poo-poo rumour has been

     

    nipped in the bud a non starter non debateable lets just see how

     

    long the Polish Striker we paid 3.5 million for settles in & if he turns

     

    out to be a good acquisition or not time will tell

  10. `The Colombian striker arrived home with his pregnant wife Yesenia to find a man hiding beneath his motor.

     

     

    Morelos spooked the individual and was forced to gave (Sic) chase on foot down rain-soaked Glasgow streets`

     

     

    Hmm..

     

     

    Have I got this right? The guy was hiding under the car. The bold Alfredo spotted him, let him free himself from under the car then gave chase? Next, a man who trains every day couldn`t catch the culprit? The Police should ask the whereabouts of Scotland`s top athletes at the time this incident took place,

  11. Good evening CQN

     

     

    Here we go.

     

     

    How refreshing is it for a provincial football club in Scotland to try and maximise profit by selling out 3 stands to visiting fans??

     

    Kilmasonic and other clubs take note ya fuds, empty seats mean less cash, less cash means less playing budget.

     

     

    It would be good to see some game time tonight for Polish Paddy, 2 up front 3-0 up and either Eddie or Griff off and Paddy on. Booooom

     

     

    4-1 to us tonig

  12. Hot Smoked – the bit I find strange about the Moreloss incident is that he has a wife???? Ffs and she is pregnant.

  13. How flat must you be as a person to fit under a Lamorghini ffs? It’s about an inch from the road.

  14. This from Twitter.

     

    Clearance underneath el Dufalo’s car is 100mm or less than 4 inches. Look it up…. 

  15. “Police are currantly searchin’ for the whereabooots of a cartoon like character flattened by an unknown heavy object to the extent that he could

     

    limbo unner a Lambo………”

    Yeah your right David 66 as regards to reduced allocation is like gambling with ones finances

     

    to reduce ones Bank Balance does not make sense these so called other Clubs in Coldland

     

    do not have much business clout that’s for sure its a no brainer all those £27+ profit they

     

    have lost is madness as for Lenny’s formations your right he should use the 3-5-2 option

     

    more often instead of 4-2-3-1 & less side to side up front they need to be more direct &

     

    more clinical in the final third (opposition area) in stead of pussy footing around

  17. Nice touch from the European Parliament there…….

     

    singing Auld Lang Syne while saying goodbye (not au revoir, arrividerci or auf vedersehen) to the home country, Scotland, of the man who wrote it.

     

    For aw that.

    Time will tell if pulling out of the EU was a disaster or not a disaster that remains to

     

     

    be seen we all know it was mainly England who wanted this to happen cause as

     

     

    they say too much freedom of movement one only has to look @ London for

     

     

    example out of a population of nearly ten million 99% of their population are

     

     

    from all over the place mainly Europe now I know freedom of movement is

     

     

    not such a bad thing especially here in Coldland where we need more of the

     

     

    younger generation to come here & take up a living however try explaining

     

     

    this to the English who don’t view it that way

     

     

    ———-

     

     

    Unadulterated pish. The actual figure was 37% for non UK nationals. And London would grind to a halt without them. Likely why London voted so strongly against Brexit.

     

     

    As for freedom of movement, that applies (for the next wee while anyway), equally to UK nationals.

     

     

    And the same principle previously allowed many Brits to colonise other nations. The difference being of course that no choice or referenda were given to the indigenous peoples.

     

     

    Australia for example.
