Outstanding

As I said, I have quiet optimism, but the front row is quite lightweight compared to theirs. For some reason the Guardian have Wales coming second, fuck knows how the hell they came to that conclusion. This is the worst taffs side in yonks, they were awful during the autumn test series.

Funny thing is, progress is definitely being made and if we're anywhere near the wooden spoon, we've failed. Cotter is an excellent coach and i'll be very sad to see him go, despite the next being Gregor Townsend who's doing fantastic things down Scotstoun.

At least the rugby team play with heart and passion and actually picked on their form unlike the farce that is the so called football team. I'm no way a rugger bugger, loathe them like any other, but as a sport, I really enjoy watching it.

Coming up to my favourite time of year, given that the football governing bodies have fucked up the big tournaments. 6 nations is the best hands down. I'd say given the English have to be favourites for this with the Irish a very close second. We've got a very good chance of winning 3/5 games and quietly fancy us against the Irish tomorrow. Nel aside, we've got a strong line up and a lot of guys on very good form at the moment. Our form against them is horrific but I think it'll a close call. Anyone else keen?

After the disappointment of Wednesday night, I'd think the team will pick themselves up and hit Partick hard. They're a bit indifferent at the moment but seem to be playing well. Not an easy one but I expect us to come out on top. Out Pub Pub watching the Scotland game Dinner with some mates 2-1 dons, McGinn and McLean

In fairness, I never said they weren't trying Just appear to have failed in closing one or two deals out which I accept happens, but we really could have done with closing them out in this window.

Ha, I should have stuck with what I was originally going to write, which was two years, and despite McLean signing during that period it would have covered my back I completely agree about the bit in bold though and fully appreciate that Jan is the worst window to try and do business in, however, given the circumstances it would have been good to see something come off.

Bar Shinnie, which was a Jan pre contract from memory, I can't think of any? I don't disagree with the last sentence, but given how close things are, you'd have thought that it was worth pushing the boat out and identifying the deficiencies that have been plain as day for a couple of seasons? We cannot, under any circumstances, anywhere other than second. Targets will have be known for some time and should have been closed out.

They didn't have many chances (on target), despite Lewis being very busy and alert. Deserved nothing from that game. Find it hard to disagree with you LA, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes but mcinnes is always shite in the January transfer window, incredibly infuriating

Think that's what has frustrated me most about this season. Everyone knows they're shite but most of Scottish football wants to get back to the status quo. Good on hearts, the Huns are shite and everyone should be taking it to them. Anyone see the twitter video of some fat hun crying no surrender last night

Outplayed, cant say they didn't deserve it

Sounds like it's just as well I'm having Internet issues! What is it with bt broadband and macs?

hadn't realised he'd had the bum hair treatment! Really hope there's a song about it tonight

Any links, please feel free to PM me so I can report them

Will save this for the journey home, don't think I can watch it at work...

Tell that to your granda

I think that was the caveat that I was trying to get across, the refereeing in Scotland would have to be upped if this was going to work. Otherwise the situation both you and Rico have described will materialise. I've long thought they should try to train up some rugby refs as a trial and get them to martial a game. Could only be an improvement.

I see the law making governing body, IFAB, are discussing whether to introduce a yellow card sin bin. I think it would be a great idea providing the standard of refereeing is sufficient or teams will ens up getting fucked for poor decisions. I'd love there to be the same level of transparency and respect that referees get in Rugby, but the referees would need to earn it too. What does everyone else think? Scott Brown would be fucked. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38824937

Oh was he now? That might be because he's shite and not worth the toilet paper he was likely to have been conceived on

Harrogate is very nice. Have a couple of colleagues from there mind you I think Yorkshire in general is a stunning county.

Where you thinking, Rocket?

It's the number being banded around down here. Although it is likely to happen in the summer, if it does.

Hamilton pump 3-0 caley 3-0, Motherwell win 2-1 against county. Arsenal cock it up at home, lost 2-1 at home to Watford

Mcinnes has basically said we're not signing anyone, he has the squad he needs for the rest of the season. Boost having Hayes and McGinn but you're right, Shinnie will serve a suspension against Motherwell I believe. Disappointing window again.
