v Hibs (a)

Difference is, these aren't 'young lads' in this team. McMann, Edwards, Mulgrew, Fuchs....yeah, good luck kicking lumps out of them. Then we have Clark, Pawlett, Niskanen all experienced guys. I'm sure any young lads in the team will be well looked after if it were to happen.

Yeah a decent observation. And some teams will maybe try that but from what I've seen recently the refereeing in Scottish games while still occasionally bizarre has moved roughly in line with UEFA where players are getting more protection from dirty play.
FWIW I remember that disgraceful performance from Goodwin and St Mirren but doubt they would keep 11 on the park nowadays.

At the risk of sounding paranoid, I watched officials give atrocious displays till we went down. Week in week out, it was almost as if they had a vendetta? Like they blamed us for something?😉

I think you are correct, for all their eccentricity they are better now than they were back then, they could not be any worse!

Was it Ray McKinnon that said one of these days we're going to give a team a right doing 😏
I felt so sorry for Ray. Someone once told me never, ever, work for the club you love

Yeah, judge us at Christmas!

Word of warning for us all, I remember JMac’s young guns wowing everyone as we barrelled all comers doon the Hulltoon for a couple of months, then Scottish football did as Scottish football does…..it started at St Mirren in December, Danny Lennon’s team kicked the **** out of us, (Jim Goodwin was subbied before half-time after scything down GMS, Ryan Dow, before elbowing Armstrong in the puss, Lennon took him off with a cuddle and a good chuckle) We lost that game and had 9 changes the following week, when Tommy Wright’s Saints repeated the medicine and hammered our 2nd string. For the rest of the season, Hamilton, et al kicked our young lads all over the place and that team never recovered their form. I like to think this team are made of sterner stuff, but don’t think for a minute other coaches will sit back and watch youngsters pick them apart like we did on Saturday, they will ‘bring it’ if this keeps up!

If this stuff starts we'll have Butcher and we know he'll put an end to ****e like that. 🙂

If Butcher had been fit would TC have put him back in the team? Not so sure myself. Can he adapt to our tiki taka 😎

Keep him in his cage until new year derby then give him the last 10 minutes.

You remember the St Mirren game well Handsup. There was talk that Goodwin was training with the refs at the time. Nasty ****.

I'll vote for that. 89th minute Butch v Adam in the centre circle. One man left standing 🤣

Ah but Tel, Butch was part of that team Jmac 13/14😀

I admired much about Ranks and Paton, but was never confident the would do the dirty work.

I wonder if Houston had stayed and got his wish of Goodwin and Imrie, would that season have been different? Would we have been a different proposition with those two along side Soutar, Gauld, Armstrong, Roberson, Shifty and GMS? They might even have won a trophy?😳
