Sitting third?
That's a tad optimistic is it not?
Don't worry Professor, everything will be alright. Onwards and upwards one step at a time.
Professor of doom !
Did you get a panic button or a crystal ball from Santa ?
Any idea what the lottery numbers will be tomorrow mate?
Rangers looked ok v the pars.
We will get better and stronger.
Should Ally leave,down the line,I respect how he handled the whole off field farce recently.............jury remains out on him as a manager,as we have been in turmoil.
No idea but according to some you could let ally choose 43 numbers and he wouldn't win £25!
I'm definitely a bit down after last night. Hopefully be back up again after Stenny game on Sunday.
I do have concerns though for the medium term. I'd hoped we would be able to live debt-free and well within our means in our three years in the wilderness, picking a team from ever-improving youngsters, and building up our nest egg for the serious squad improvement to cover the transition from Championship to SPL. If the current lot were to win the Championship I'd be surprised and delighted. Looking ahead to SPL, how many years will we be happy bumbling along at the level of Motherwell, Aberdeen, Dundee United, not able to mount a serious challenge to Celtic's dominance
As is often the case on these boards, I hope I'm wrong. I'd have no problem in 2-3 years time coming on here, full of apologies for my pessimistic assessment of McCoist and his managerial abilities

Why would you be surprised that this squad could win the championship next season?
Who has a better squad than we have?
Who has a better squad than we have -Copland

On paper, noboby
And the nest egg has been divided up by boardroom charlatans , if mccoist didn't bring in the players we have just now it would only have meant more cash for them carve up between them
full of apologies for my pessimistic assessment of McCoist and his managerial abilities.......................Professor, compared to SDF you are like a ray of sunshine .

Thanks for that - never been described as a 'ray of sunshine before!'

Why the pessimism then mate?
I know what you mean about about young players but 3 of our 5 forward thinking players were McLeod , aird and Clark add another 1 or 2 next season and we won't be too far away with number of youngsters I thought we would have in our 1st team
Professor, we all have our fears for the future but meantime our team can do no more than keep climbing the leagues.
Copland
Pessimistic because I don't think McCoist is the man to improve our squad, or even get the most out of what we have. I suspect he really would prefer to buy a side rather using his managerial ability to improve the existing squad.
Hillbilly
This year's is certainly sewn up. Can't see us romping the Championship though......as I said before, I really hope I'm wrong. Whatever happens to McCoist the manager, I'll always be grateful to McCoist the man for how he held the entire club together when we were going through our worst spell off the field
too much pessimism, we've dropped two points so far, scored 65 in 18 this season, we have a 5th round scottish cup tie at home v dunfermline and the ramsdons to come.
besides we've played a championship side this season and beat them comfortably away from home,
I reckon as the quality of the opposition improves on our journey, we'll see a step up in quality from us , as teams who have a go at playing football against us instead of being content with kicking fck out of us will leave more space to play in.
after acclimatising and a good pre season, I see no reason why we wont be winning the championship.
