    going down or staying up

    3 weeks ago with the changes in the ownership, multiple signings including Pearson I thought the tide was turning.

    It hasn't, will it ?

    Who's confident that we'll stay in the SPL ?

    I think we need to keep a settled team, ideally have Hammel and Pearson return and give Dom a decent run.

    In 40 years I've never been less confident about our ability to stay in the league.

    re: going down or staying up

    I love my team, but in a shorter 30 years I have never been so frustrated and ****ed off with them.Today was shocking, and for the first time this year, I admit he will finish bottom unless there is some miracle.
    I love what the manager has to say, but sadly he seems clueless when it comes to selecting a team/formation to back up his words.
    I desperately want him to be a success, but I am losing the will to live watching this.

    We are finished , said for weeks Ross County looked a better prospect and they played better football than us. We will not pick up more points than them in the run so at very best we will get a play off and any of the teams in the play off spots in championship will pump us with little or no trouble.

    Ross County were far better than us last week.

    County have been better than us in every game they played us. The one win we got against them was a lucky break. We have been depressingly consistently garbage all season and nothings changed. Too many folk seemed to reassure themselves St Mirren and Ross County would match us in utter ineptitude. We are rightly bottom of the league.

    I have accepted that we are going down to the point I phoned my mate a Falkurk supporter and said looking forward to a pre match pint and a blether with him.

    very very poor always said not arsed if they put up a fight and get beat it's the spineless p1sh that gets me.

    Good planning. If we had to look at it realisticly, what are chances if we go down. Could we do a Hearts?

    We couldn't do a Hearts for the simple reason that we don't have the support that they have. They have had big crowds backing them all season whilst our dreadful support would dwindle even more once we are relegated and we'd be lucky if we have to open two stands next season. Hearts also seem to have shrewd, experienced people in the right positions whilst the way we are being run is just plain amateurish.

    When, not if, we go down, we will be finished.

    Argere we have no chance of doing a Hearts but I don't see why we'll be finished - so many contracts expire we should be able to cut costs massively and rapidly.

    I also see a Falkirk/Dunfermline future for us but tbh it's what the club, fans and town deserves so no complaints. Finished as a 'big' club? Definitely. Finished as a club? Absolutely not.

    The First Division will be something different and with the play-offs to aim for the season should at least be kept alive for a wh

    Clutching at straws here. We keep mentioning Ross county and St Mirren as our main relegation rivals. Partick, whilst they have a 7 point cushion over us at the moment are on just as bad a run as we are. I think they could very easily get sucked down into the relegation battle also, got to remember at this time last year Hibs were in the top six. That said we need to start picking up points in the hope of catching anyone, and quite frankly we don't look capable of catching F*** all at the moment.
