Any one know the longest run the club has gone without a win?

Nothing surpasses this one

Even the goals scored is a new achievement

Didn't read question properly!
I forgot in 62-63 we were winning games in the cup interspersed with the horrendous league form. So a long losing run like this there wasn't in that season. Embarassed

Borrowed gloves left in Hardie's car!
If true that just says it all in the way things are going.

I'm now mentally preparing myself for relegation. Bottom two is as good as down because we aren't good enough to triumph in the play offs. This has been a long time coming, with the exception of last season we have always been skirting around the relegation zone but have usually managed to turn it around in time. If we do go down it might be best to do so alone, having St Mirren in the same division would make coming up first time that much harder.

We're down. Can't score at one end, don't even have a goalkeeper at the other.

We'll be relegated automatically, but as Castle mentioned, that is the best way to go in terms of our prospects for next season.

The board brought all this to bare with hiring Locke and all his inferior midfield signings with no wingers

Eric came across very professionally and we were shafted by the spfl board. No doubt about that. Biggest problem still remains scoring goals, but we had to commit more players to protecting our goalie than would otherwise have been the case. Like Eric said, St Mirren won't have been happy either with the game going ahead in these circumstances. If we can't get a Celtic goalie on loan, how about one of their strikers instead Very Happy

Other games in Scotland have been postponed previously due to one team having a goal-keeping crisis. Why not us?

Presumably those teams haven't had 3 and a half weeks to do something.

The scrambling about for help should have been done on the way home from Tannadice. The club gambled on having one fit goalkeeper, and it backfired. Their own fault and nobody elses.

Completely sympathetic to the Board and Eric in particular about the events leading up to last nights game. There is no doubt that the decisions made by the SPFL do not have logic to them. The best outcome for the potential fall out would have been an absolute hammering last night as that would have brought national media, St. Mirren and presumably other clubs into the equation.

As it was Ryan did excellent from what I gather and going by Yogi's comments a young goalkeeper wouldn't have done any better and we would probably still have set up to protect him so its all become a bit of a moot point on that score.

Having a single goalkeeper however as has been mentioned has been around us since Dundee United away.

Like Castle I am mentally preparing for relegation. The players don't appear to have it in them to battle their way out of this and as a supporter I'm getting that same mentality. I just can't be jacked with them.
