Sums up our season. Yet again it was a game we should have won, but Strong decided to arse about as usual and then some dodgy officiating sealed it. Great stuff. Now on to the blame game...

(1) peARSE Flynn for sticking with Lambert for months too long
(2) Lambert for being shite and signing shite
(3) Strong for giving the opposition even more cheap goals

Certain other players had better hang their heads in shame for allowing shite like Falkirk (one man team in Latapy) and Dunfermline (one man team in Burchill) to somehow remain in the SPL for another season. They know they are better and that they just didn't pull the finger out when required.

Credit to Robertson though. It's a pity he wasn't given more time. Even a few more weeks would have probably done it. At least we now have a change of scenery from the SPL bore and since we have no debt, relegation won't hurt us too much. Woo hoo! :rolleyes:

Latapy has always impressed me, except for that time I ran into him drinking with Dwight Yorke a few hours before famously getting in trouble--I thought he was done then. He really has held Falkirk up, and is at the center of T&T's slim hopes this summer.

That being said, I think relegation will actually help Livi build a solid team back up.

:(, I remember Livi finishing 3rd and qualifying for Europe a few years ago, how things have changed.

After being forced into admin wrecked the squad, we someone thought it would be banter to experiment with inexperienced managers. First was Preston/Kernaghan, then Gough and the final nail in the coffin was Lambert.

How would you like to watch shite home and away for several seasons? It's a sad state of affairs when you dread the weekend and another 90 minutes of ineptitude.

Far from it. I laughed like a drain in the car on the way home from the Morton game when I heard that Dunfermline (who, like Livi, are also run by a total knob, so I don't have much love for them at the moment) had grabbed two late goals.

Yeah - for the better. Having teams like St. Johnstone and Livingston climb to the top before being swatted down, whack-a-mole style, is entertaining.

Granted, you have to feel a little bit of sympathy for St. Johnstone, who had a modicum of humility and spent money that they actually had, as opposed to being unspeakably arrogant and going into administration due to overspending on players with Monopoly money.

More lies I see. Doesn't even merit further response.

Which part's a lie?

The part about St. Johnstone not entering administration after overspending on players? Or the part about Livingston overspending on players and consequently enterting administration, paying their creditors only a portion of what was borrowed?

If you're not going to respond, fine, but I'm not lying here. :)

Teso - any thoughts on Wes Houlihan? Has he gotten much of a chance to shine?
