I'll be crying in the chapel if he's the next manager.

Here's your man. Bring him on. No doubt there will be a few suspicious minds.

We had almost zero chance going into the cup final and everyone expected an absolute doing. Anything's possible.

Pet Shop Boys - Rent

Gwen Guthrie - Ain't Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent

That's what I thought but Coby Hend has tweeted saying he might be available. Although the excellent and ever reliable BBC have made no such claim. Either way, I'd be starting Marshall anyway.

Young Disciples - Apparently Nothing

I can confirm that he's complete horse

Thought Ronan was out for a number of months with a knee injury.

Cadden (hamstring) and Tobers (swollen knee, the boy has no luck) out. Happe suspended. Mayo and Knoester obviously out long term. Ronan might be available. I think any plan to go to a back three is gone now. Wonder if we'll still go two up front though or try and pack the midfield. I think the 4-4-2 we've played in the last two games, we'd get sliced apart. Not seen enough of Mahou to know if we've a player there or not, so him or Yogane on the left makes no odds to me.

He would be a sensational appointment. Budget issues at Blackburn tripped him up there, and not sure international management suited him, but still think he can be a very good manager at his next club. Not sure what halted Hibs interest in him though. May have been salary or him not being impressed by the budget. If Robinson sacked, the next appointment might be the last one made under Cormack. He might just throw money at a big name.

Lonnie Donegan - Cumberland Gap

Would not be adverse to him getting it. That said I cannot see us sacking Robinson for a while yet. Cormack will bury his head in the sand until at least the end of January before he pulls the trigger.

Slade - Cum On Feel The Noize

I played Mario Party for the first time ever this week it was great fun tho I was not very good and my children were also not very good at explaining how to work the controller 😀

Aretha Franklyn - You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman

George Strait - It Just Comes Natural

Fun Lovin' Criminals - Come Find Yourself

It's a mixed bag for me. Clearly the transition from McInnes to Glass was horribly managed. Goodwin was always going to be a shit hire with limited upside but can understand the thinking of him being a low-risk, experienced option after Glass and I'll forgive him for how Robson turned out - he absolutely earned the right to get the full-time job even if hindsight tells us differently. Warnock was an absolute shambles of a decision. But then he arguably did the right thing in recognising that he has not been getting it right and brought in external consultants to review everything and give us a plan to work with. Whether they were charlatans or not is a different story. So with a bit of self-reflection and an unfathomable amount of cash, we have a strategy. So overall we should now be in a good place to move forward. Thelin, decent hire at the time based on track record, fits with the strategy. However, despite the cup win, we were never really on the 3-year plan trajectory that we had been promised and that came to an inevitable conclusion after 18 months. This is now where he has failed as a leader and I've seen this a few times in non-football business where the strategy implementation does not go to plan, people panic and chuck the strategy in the bin. Strategy implementation can go wrong for a variety of reasons that don't necessarily mean the strategy was wrong. My feeling is that we had the right strategy, we were not successful in the implementation. So now we're in a position where we have a Director of Football hired from the strategy consultants who has hired a manager who does not fit with the strategy and has just presided over a high-turnover transfer window that also clearly does not fit with the strategy. We seem to be completely lacking in direction, there's no evidence of any kind of culture or identity on the pitch or off it. We've traded an expensive "top 100 clubs in Europe" strategy to basically become St Mirren North FC, and fixing that mess will be another expense we likely cannot afford. So for me, Cormack mostly gets a pass (except the Warnock era) for everything up to Thelin's departure, everything since then has been a failure.

I play a bit. I did like the James Bond First Light game, think I ran through the campaign 3 times, then I quite enjoyed the tactical sims but besides that I don't think there's enough there to keep me turning it on. Saying that, I think they have released new tac-sims so might have another look. I've jumped back on GTA5 recently due to all the talk of the new release. It really is an excellent game. The Bank Heist was probably the best bit of gaming I have ever experienced. It had everything, huge police shoot-outs, gain access to the vaults, grab as much cash as possible and a huge police chase to get away with the loot. Probably wont be buying the new game though as I now work from home and buying it would just mean I am spending more time sitting on my arse at the desk. I've not got the the new Modern Warfare but have enjoyed the Call of Duty games in the past. Only really play the Ranked competitive games though, too old to be getting mauled by 12 year old kids running about the maps with knifes and crossbows.

Sorry for your loss mate.

RDR 2 is a great game for spending ages doing absolutely nothing. I liked having a game of dominoes with the other gang members, and robbing random houses. Except that one where I opened the door and a great big bear came roaring out of it. I nearly shat myself.

Jon Dahl Tomasson was linked with the Hibs job, has been out of work for a while, could be a good option.

Probably another 3 months as we don’t have a successor in place - or we will have another interim in place ala Neil Warnock- that went well the first time so maybe big Sam this time given Bevington probably dealt with him at the EFA The club should have sounded out others on the qt already- but I will be surprised if we have - so that whether it is after tomorrow’s game or the game against Hibs, we are in a position to appoint someone during the international break if Robinson is gone The big question is who would take on that squad given our fixtures to the end of the year without some guarantees on changes in January Again, club in a weak negotiating position due to the decisions already made

I was honking at the N64 version. There was too much going on for a racing purist myself The last game I spent any time on was Red Dead Redemption II. I didn’t have any real interest in completing it. I just liked jumping on my horse Bingo 2 (Bingo 1 got hit by a train) and riding round the countryside. Fishing, playing cards, setting fire to Confederate soldiers etc
