Who do you think the next Morton manager will be?
No idea, jimmy calderwood was in for it before shiels got it but dont see him taking it now, maybe our former finnish player marko rajamaki said he wanted to come back and manage us one day.

Peter Weatherson an option you reckon? Can't believe Morton went from second last year to bottom and relegation in the season that the Championsip will probably be the best it has ever been. What's the opinions on Douglas Rae as chairman? Everytime something bad happens at Morton he threatens part time football.

If big Peter was still in the squad this season Saturdays result wouldnt have happened but dont think he would be the right choice as manager.

As for Douglas, always be grateful he saved the club but think its time for change throughout the club. This seems to be the feeling for a lot of Ton fans.

Just a pity the Easdales have bought into another club.

Pleased for Scotty V to get a hat trick - another great win for the Dandies.

A club or a company running a club?

Silly me, it is shares in the company that owns the company that runs the club isn't it?

The QoTS attendance last night was 253, or 15%, up on their average league attendance this season.

Anyway, I can't believe a Dundee Utd fan is having a pop at another team because of their attendances. Your club have sold around 30k tickets for a week on Saturday, how many turned up last night?

Going to be one hell of a nervy game at Easter Road on Saturday - effectively a play-off to avoid the play-off. Must-win for Hibs; a point does Killie.

At least there isn't a situation for it to be an effective play-off that could end up needing a play-off to decide who doesn't play in the play-off.

Your are absolutely correct there was only 8500 at the game last night maybe 7000 home fans.

I know everyone is guilty of this to get 3.5 times your average attendance is quite a jump.

I always feel united should never have any less than 10000 at every home game.

We have always been the 6th biggest supported side in the country but the crowds should be higher

What parts of the ground did Aberdeen have last night?

The Shed looked pretty full on the telly, did they have the Fair Play as well?. Aberdeen had hundreds of fans still outside the ground last night when the game kicked off.

Picture of the Shed.

Queue to get in the Aberdeen end at kick off.

Maybe my 7000 was a bit optimistic

Imagine a Championship of:

Rangers
Hearts
Hibs
Dunfermline
Falkirk
Raith Rovers
Livingston
Queen of the South
Alloa
Dumbarton

That would be a tasty league.

Dundee are to play Man City in a friendly at Dens on Sunday 13th July.

It's the same day as the World Cup final, which means some of City's big name players won't be there, but they should at least have Joe Hart available.

Jesus I had forgotten how hilly the walk from Dundee city centre up to Tannadice was. It near killed me.

Celtic U20's win the league after beating Utd 2-0.

The secret is to go up Dens Road, avoiding the Hilltown.

Think of it as the difference between taking a gentle circular path up a mountain, and scaling one of the faces.

The secret is to get a bus or taxi!

The rain just now is nuts.

Are they allowed to do that?

What's the reason - do Hibs have a bad record on BT!?

I think it's so they can attract more folk through the gates! Correct me if I'm wrong though but surely if the TV deal is in place and Hibs are gaining the revenue from this then they shouldn't be refusing them to show the game live?

Would be like Man City telling sky on Sunday, no we don't want you showing our game live.

I'm working at 1 tomorrow so BT was my only hope. I'll have to listen on the radio now.

It's all to do with the number of times they can go to a ground each season. They fad already been to Hibs their allocated number of times and the SPFL didn't give them permission in time to set up

Things like this will come back to bite the SPFL on the bum when new TV contracts are being discussed.
