The "goal" that should've won the league.

Expecting a Shakespearian (sp) masterpeice befitting the occassion Gav!

I think Lee should play CB. :box: I would drop Mendes for Barry. :box: I would not play 4-5-1.

If we win 1-0 with a deflected goal off a streakers left arse-cheek he can play whatever formation he wants. Seriously though, whilst I would be going ape-shit should we line up like that, if it produced the required result I wouldn't care.

Happy National Famine Day. Is that the right sentiments?

If the dubious officials had done their jobs we'd have been Champions some time in February! And I'm barely even exaggerating. If his presence helped the players pre-OF I'll happily take it again. Is it time to restore Barry Ferguson to the starting line up (regardless of if we sell him in the summer)? :box:

They struggled with the concept of 3 wins = the title. Hopefully this equation will be a little easier for them to solve.

Post Hibs debacle midweek one poster, might have been Andrew_2010, Said that should we still win this league it would be a case of them throwing it away. Not us winning it. I said it is an idea that annoys me. The league is won for most points over a season. So whether they drop points in the first or the last game is irrelevant, the point is you have won more than them over the entire season to win the league (or not as the case may be). I then, however went on to say, that in this instance however I agreed with the original statement. We would need them to throw it away. The glorious nature of being a football fan is I can be fickle and I can be a hypocrite. But looking at it objectively when not high on emotion and drunk on beer, how can I state that us dropping points at Easter Road was throwing it away, but should Hibs take something from Celtic it would not be us winning it but them losing it? Going into the split, we were just a point behind. Beat Celtic in the "six-pointer" then match their results and we would be champions. How can I then say we have been gifted a title should we beat them and match their other results to win the league. It's a nonsense. Emotion got the better of me. Prior to the draw at Easter Road we were on a 7 game winning streak. We dropped points at a difficult venue for the first time this season, but still took a creditable point. The same as Celtic. Win at Tannadice and it is ours. We would have won it. We would have earnt it. On recent form we more than deserve it. Post split we would have overcome a deficit and taken 13 points from 15 available. Sure, we could and should have beaten Hibs. The timing of the defeat, the apparent apathy from the players and the perceived negativity of the manager magnified a poor result. But even great teams lose when they shouldn't. When it's unexpected. It is all about ensuring these results don't ultimately damage our title ambitions. One draw against hibs to lose the title after a great late surge for the Championsip would be incredibly harsh. If we win this league it is more than deserved and one bad draw, that would have been a win but for yet more dodgy officiating doesn't change that. P.s I reserved the right to turn a 180 as a full time fickle football fan. P.P.s Celtic's mumping and moaning about playing at Easter Road sure bit them on the arse. Hopefully integrity F.C. will have learnt to keep their oversized gobs shot in future.

Play like the last 45 mins v hibs, not like that first half or against Aberdeen for the full game.

Lol, that's probably a better reason for wanting them to stay up to be fair. A credit to the league in that they do, for the most part, try to play the game the right way. I think their youth policy is to be commended too. Though it is in part forced upon them by the nature of competitive club football and being a "wee" team.

I read yesterday that Celtic had only won their once in 3 years but didn't say for fear of jinxing it (ridiculous I know, but I also know I'm not the only fan who thinks and behaves like that at times). Hibs have a very good record against the Tims at Easter road and thankfully they kept it going.

I think WTD has summed up the foremost feeling of every contributor to this site there! Bring on Sunday!

I'd prefer Flakirk to stay up as I got my best Sports Science/Strength and Conditioning experience with them via Stirling University and the guys I worked with (the uni staff) were a good bunch who helped me out. If Falkirk went down they might not get the work.

Wish we all had John's confidence.

Should be McCulloch. :box: Did bloody well against Hearts and now is not the time to go with untried and untested players.

World's biggest hypocrite here. I'd happily see him do it again next weekend if we win the title. :box:

John will quite rightly be feeling a bit smug today. Well in big man.

Aye, at least he realises a need to turn it on when we're in the shit!

WBA started very well against Liverpool. Could be a good game. Hope they win. Anything that increases the possibility of Newcastle going down.

Unless that article is telling me the entire squad has swine flu i'm not clicking the link.

Eddie Smith?

That's what I thought. Was it not Lambert who made a mess of Livi after Gough.

There's a poster on FF who is an official and reckons we can appeal and it will be heard before our next game.
