The quicker the better imo. It sucks the life out of the game but it'll never happen unfortunately.

I think the time to judge him will be Feb/March time when all our injured players are hopefully back up to speed and available for selection and we see how any wheeling and dealing in the transfer market pans out.

I see Tavares being played there as a last resort type of situation as I can't imagine him being preferred over any of our other options for RB if they were fully fit, available and up to speed. It's always hard putting a slant on something when you don't have all the facts.

I did wonder so thanks for clearing that up and 100% support here👋

One of your better efforts 👌

You left out Steelboy who seems to have disappeared like snaw aff a dyke.

A game where the result was more important than the performance. Hopefully the team can take some confidence from the 2nd half and completely forget about the 1st. Watt was the difference.

Win the ball then hump it as far up the park as you can. Maybe I'm being a bit unkind and not allowing for the wind but ffs this is chronic to watch.

Think I've gone to Murrayfield by mistake.

I'm assuming that it would either have been the SPFL as the tournament organisers or the SFA as the stadium landlords who employed the security company who provide the stewards so you could argue that they are as culpable as the clubs. Not sure what company was used but can't be that many in Scotland.

H34 Each Club must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable. So what more can clubs do that is "reasonably practicable". The stewards instructed to carry out body cavity searches on every fan instead of the usual frisk and pat down? Are the security company providing the stewards not as culpable as the clubs? All clubs can reasonably be expected to do is appeal to fans not to do it and potentially ban any caught doing so. If we get fined and/or sanctioned in any way I hope the club tells us exactly what they are and the consequences for the club and hopefully that might get through to the perpetrators. Personally I don't have a problem with pyro but when it gets to this stage then I think the ones doing it need to take a wee step back and think about whether its worth it in light of the potential backlash and costs.

The romance of the cup. FFS

That's the team and formation I'd put out but don't think there's any way he'll drop Halliday unless he's had some kind of epiphany

Yep. Young Lennon IMO has regressed since being made captain. I feel for him as he constantly looks up for a forward pass only to find that his only option is a sideways or backwards one. He must be frustrated as hell. Wee Davor is game and doesnt try to hide, I'll give him that but he really doesn't have the necessary physical attributes when he's up against bigger/stronger opponents.

Sitting in club 100 before the game expecting another shitfest of a game and confirmed when I saw the starting line up. I was very tempted just to stay in the club and wished I had after 15mins. Totally bereft of ideas and leadership, bullied off and on the ball. Some players looked disinterested. All symptoms of a team staring relegation in the face not one sitting 5th in the League. How things can change so quickly.

Shite just shite.

If we're going to persist with punts up the park then I'd just like us to sign a big 6'4" brick shithouse of a No9. He doesn't even have to be a terribly good footballer, just able to win high balls and hold defenders off. Maybe just maybe with Nicholson and Slattery nearly ready and Paton just about there, we might have a semblance of a midfield and take the pressure off Miller (if he chooses to stick around that is).

Think it comes down to personal choice. If someone wants to travel up the A9 despite the weather warnings then its their choice. I made the decision not to travel last night as I know only too well having travelled up and down it regularly for 20 years, the conditions on the A9 can be horrendous in the snow and can worsen at the drop of a hat. Kudos to those who took the chance and I hope they all make it home safely with a win under their belts.

I'm more interested in the areas where we give possession up to other teams. Possession in their own half or midfield don't bother me at all however if it was continually in our own penalty box then that's a different matter. Sure someone could come up with the area possession stats which I would guess would mostly be in the oppositions own half and midfield and the number of shots on goal against us which I would guess will be below the league average. What we're doing is certainly effective even although it's maybe not pretty on the eye at times. If it comes to a choice between watching free flowing football and getting beat and ending up battling relegation or shitfesting our way to wins and league safety and a chance at Europe I know what I would pick. Of course a combination of both would be brilliant but we're not Man City or Barcelona and you play to the strengths of your available players. Maybe when we have all our injured players back at full fitness we can look at things differently but on the whole I'm pretty satisfied at where we are just now.

I think we're forgetting sometimes that Lennon is only 18 but still has LOTS to learn. He's by far the best young prospect from the SPL and should be managed as an 18 year old not a 23/24 year old with loads of experience. I've always thought that Scotland should have some kind of development squad where players who are too old for the u19/21 but considered not quite ready for the full team or older players on the fringes off the full team could get game time and experience at full international level. It could provide a pathway from u21 to full team whereas just now it's a massive step up in one go.

I'm more worried about how tired he looked in the u19 game. Another 2 games in 7 days which I'm assuming he will play in. Boy looks as if he needs a rest.

They picked it up from some random bloke on FB claiming to be "in the know".

Liked by Steelboy and Yodo.

The worst thing about it is the red poppy being hijacked by all the different factions. If people want to promote a particular cause on remembrance day then they should choose their own emblem and leave the poppy alone and respect what it stands for. Unfortunately in this day and age its my way or the highway for the more extreme elements of society who might not even have had the freedom to express their views if it wasn't for the sacrifice of all our young men and women. Sorry for the rant but it's something that truly pisses me off no end.

There's ones on here who would find something to moan about if we were sitting 5 points clear at the top with 2 games to play and in the final of the Scottish You're either a glass half full or half empty, thankfully most on here are of the full variety, I just laugh at the other ones and the fun they must be at parties.
