  1. This. I'm really impressed with what Martindale has done at livi, they ain't hammer throwers anymore either. I would also say SeeBass if you apply the logic of "we shouldn't lose to livi in any circumstances" that that door swings both ways. In other words you might as well be saying we should give up on beating the Glasgow 2 ever again because they shouldn't be losing to us under circumstances. You will always get underdog stories in sports, you will always get teams underperforming too. It's a crucial part of keeping the game interesting at all levels. A wise person said to me a long time ago when it came to supporting a football team "don't get too high and don't get to low, there's always a next season if things are awful.". I would add to this that there will be times that you won't have a choice in the matter such will be the importance of the fixture. A perfect example is the Scotland v England game a few years back. When griffiths scored the second I just...... lost it. Completely lost it. I can't tell you much about the 30 seconds that followed other than it was an ecstacy I had never previously felt. Then, 2 minutes later, that was taken away from me and ive never felt so low. I had no choice in feeling like this but moments like this are rare. You can usually get over a disappointing result pretty quickly if you put your mind to it, it's only fucking football after all.

  2. As I get older Ive learned that to enjoy being a football supporter of a team that doesn't regularly win you have to not take it too seriously. Enjoy the days we win and don't let it get you down too much when we don't. Nothing wrong with having a break now and again, pursuing other interests. If it's getting you down its probably the best thing you can do. But if your anything like most of us you'll be back soon enough.

  3. They are fourth on merit. Having beaten Hearts, Hibs and now Aberdeen this season, and drawn at Ibrox, I think they deserve a little bit more respect than that.

  4. Seabass man, chill out and breathe. We’ve got a new squad and new manager. It was always destined to be a bumpy ride. But we’re third in the league. It’s not all doom and gloom. Derek and Doc had run their course. Things had gone stale and despite the first half of their tenure being good, the second half was poor so, it was time for change. Perhaps take a wee break dude, enjoy the World Cup and festive period and come back in the new year and eager dandy

  6. Take it easy SeaBass. Despite what crap you might read at times, it really is just a game. 12 teams start the league season but 11 of them lose and the fans still follow their team. I've read in the past of your love for snooker. You'll get 32 players start the world championship and 31 of them lose but people still tune in despite the fact that their favourite will probably not win. Try to enjoy it for what it is, just sport. The Dons have no divine right to beat anyone and just because they are not brilliant every time they step onto the park does not mean they are not trying. Sometimes you just end up second best but there's always the next game.
