I was going to post this before Sunday's game, but I didn't want to tempt fate.
I still remember the New Year match against the old Rangers back in 1998, when they were chasing 10 in a row. We won 2–0, with goals from Lambert and Burley, and it completely changed our season. That result gave the players belief that they could beat Rangers and go on to win the league and, ultimately, it stopped 10 in a row. It was a truly pivotal moment.
I just hope that Sunday's victory for Sevco doesn't prove to be a pivotal moment in reverse, one that sets them on course for the title. One thing is certain, though: our board have royally messed up this season, and if the unthinkable were to happen, we all know exactly where the blame would lie, as they have made our task of retaining the title much harder.

It was Saturday Joe.

M8 they have been getting by with every decision going the struggled against us on sat no matter what they say, there garbage.

I think we're all pretty much in agreement Weejoe that Hearts will falter and get reeled in. The closest they've come to winning a league title in 'recent' times, was back in 1986.
This season it's likely they'll finish 3rd.
That just leaves us and them.
Granted, Saturday's result will have given them a boost and the narrative their pushing (as is the media) is that there's a 'togetherness' blah, blah, blah.
Sevco are a poor outfit and will drop points against the so called smaller teams in the league.
Saturday's result should be used as motivation by MON towards every player in that dressing room. The players owed the fans before Saturday, and by god, they have added to that debt by way of that 2nd half collapse.
MON for me will be the defining factor for us this season, I feel he may think he's got something to prove, the Celtic players undoubtedly have something to prove and there's no better motivation than being written off halfway through the season.

My bad.

Sacking Nancy and getting MON back was the best decision we could have made at this time but make no mistake we are now in a dogfight for this league title and it should never have been the case.
The board need to give MON the tools he needs to win the league.
2 strikers, 1 on loan and 1 on permanent contract.
2 RW
1 LCB
1 RCB
and bring back the green brigade and fix the rupture between them and us.

We already have 2 LCB in Scales and Trusty. We need a RCB, RW and a ST. We have Yang and Forrest who can play on the right. Infact we need a LW as well because Tounetki and Balikwisha won't do until Jota is fit. A proper No.10 who can unlock a defence wouldn't go a miss either!
