I'll jump in the freezing pool with you Anas, don't worry. After three, okay?

Did they call her English?

That seems about right. But I'd argue that the expectation of a continuous "well run" club is in itself a little unfair. There's not a club in the world that is perennially well run. It's perfectly normal and acceptable to be up and down considering the number of factors that affect a club, and the turnover of staff. We don't continuously spend enough to guarantee we'll finish above the rest, and certainly not Hearts and Hibs. We probably spend enough to ensure that we don't get relegated, which is why we never have been. A European place should be achievable every year. A European place is not guaranteed (as it is for the Huns and Tims), and a slight failure in the transfer market (say 40% success as opposed to 60%) would be enough to see us miss out. The margins aren't great and will never be. Edit: to add, there is no correlation between being well run and the time it takes to appoint a manager, either.

Has anybody asked what she thinks about the manager situation yet?

Das mountainbike?

At least his nieces and nephews can still call him the same name.

I'm guessing they'll factor the weight of Callum McGregor's tears into the decision too. Could potentially tip it.

We had a few days post snow that allowed the water levels round here to get back to normal, but aye it's been a fair deluge. It obviously wouldn't have been an issue had we had a plastic pitch...

Assume we've diverted a drain onto the pitch. Trying to remember the last call off for waterlogged pitch (just from rain, there may have been an ice-melt one from memory). This century?

Yep. Given how shite our wingers have been, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3-5-2, with Frame and Jensen (or Lobban) wing backs, with Nisbet behind Olusanya. He'll try the quick punt front to back to try and catch them with pace on the break. Similar to what we did when Bilalovic scored against the Tims and got the good chances against the Hun.

Aye, that has formatted so badly it actually resembles our team defending a corner.

McIntyre might get the nod just for being left footed. It's a pity we couldn't have kept Polvara for another fortnight. I think we should go with a back eight.

Just beat the unbeatable hearts. That's the sort of thing that could trigger Cormack to throw the cash around.

They should be putting out a daily statement informing us that they have no further update on the manager situation.

It's more the fact that the fans will get on their back, and a certain element will decide they're shite when they're not fit yet. Ideally we'd be giving them a couple of weeks to settle. Just the way of it I guess.
