Gundermann Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Hopefully we can replicate the kind of form that saw us win at St Mirren recently. I was pessimistic about that one but a Dexter brainfart aside, it was one of the wins of the season for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see us push as hard as possible to get closer to second and further from fourth. Ending up a couple of points ahead of Killie would feel like an anti-climax. Having said that, the hangover from the semi final could be rough tomorrow. If we follow up a timid performance by feeling sorry for ourselves, we’ve got a real problem holding us back. Feck hangovers. Get out there and show something that says we’ve got minerals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goalscoring Knee Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Hope I'm wrong but have a horrible feeling we might lose a tight one and that it may well be the game against Dundee that finally gets us over the line for 3rd.

151 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 3 hours ago, Ron Burgundy said: Unless Hearts are providing free transport to Kilmarnock and free entry into the game I expect every player to be up for it. Any player or manager who thinks they can just free wheel to the end of the season is cheating the fans. Football is expensive and regardless of league position the fans travelling deserve 100 % effort. This. My first ever time through there and expect 100% as a minimum regardless of circumstance. Also whether I'm there or not was just making the relevant point that I will be there so will be wasting money if they think they can just see the season out.

karipidis Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Some of the takes after Sunday is hilarious. No bottle, pussies, didn’t turn up etc for a team who have shown plenty bottle and resilience this season. Sunday was hugely disappointing but one of the main reasons is we actually did turn up as a team but unfortunately we just lacked a lot in an attacking sense. Think we can question the ability and decision making of some of the players and that has been partly rectified with the pre contract signings, but to question the teams bottle etc seems way over the top. Especially when we are talking about record points totals etc. we’ve lost 1 game outside the old firm in the last 21 games. anyway, think we’ll get a result today.
