Motherwell are on a fairly good run and a draw there could be seen as, at worst, a less than destructive point. Hibs have just beaten Hearts and probably should have been a few up on United by half time. United, yes, they have been up and down like a hoors drawers.
The cup is what is annoying me now, that result against the Fifers really hurt badly. Yes JC goes on about the top six at inordinate length, it is NOT an achievement but more a kind of yardstick of consistency. That should be a given these days though and as BB says, NOT being there would mean Calderwoods books.
It's one off games in the cup and that last fucker killed me and there has to be a point where no consequences for not achieving acceptable results in our only realistic opportunities for actually WINNING something, mean you are rewarding failure.
I've been fucking gutted since that night, gutted and fucking raging. I hoped for a spark, a sign that the players were stung, that they had some sort of point to prove. Successive draws, however creditable (I haven't brought masel to watch them) in view of them being away from home against arguably teams in better form than us, has shown that hasn't really materialised.
All that said, I suspect that no-one will do a better job than the present encumbent, sad though it may be to say that. No-one mentioned as a possible by others here or elsewhere would do much, if any, better.
If I'm right, fuck knows where that leaves us.
