Pretty shite goal to concede after a clumsy foul

1-1 but lengthy VAR check

Fuck

Holy Fuuuucckkk 1-0!

Holy Fuuuucckkk 1-0!

Here goes 🤞 Tough ask and may possibly be the best team we've ever faced. Funny old game though.

I would 100% start Hodge. From the little we saw him in the Stenny disaster he looks quality. Always finding pockets and looking for the ball and looking to progress play. Exactly what we need.

Think to get through the tie we need to take a 2 goal.lead over there, unlikely as it may be. Frustrating given injuries etc and would have been interesting to see how Jens' Team would have coped. Will be very tough, as I assume they will be big, athletic and technically very good. Who know's though. Early doors in the competition and there's always the odd shock. As long as we do ourselves justice and give the fans a few things to be proud of.

Going back to the presser, on his initial introduction there was a question whether Alfie was too much of a 'nice guy'. Think that's been put to bed now. Pleasant, but robust when required.

Thor, Ap Stam and SOD added to squad list for ECL

Priestman and Koutroumbis both out for a Month. Sparrow recivering from bruising, so probably not a broken spine/coccyx as previously suggested

6'2 pressing machine apparently

Signing reveal imminent

We've ~1m in the bank from Europe this season anyway. Stenhousemuir was an eminently winnable tie. Freiburg is in essence a bonus tie which, taking off C&A specs, is practically insurmountable over 2 legs. Obviously we all hope for the best, but you need to be realistic. Its akin to Hearts beating Benfica over 2 legs.

Of course Rangers and Celtic draw each other

Again, agree 100% with this. Raging.

100% this. Absolutely fucking fuming at that. The Freiburg tie is nigh-on unwinnable. We have sacrificed a potential cup run, months of anticipation etc. Out with a whimper.

Up there with the worst of Kettlewell, Hammell etc. This is our bread and butter. There is little prospect of us progressing in the ECL. Priorities massively mixed up.

There we go. Heding out of the cup. Unacceptable

Some very naïve play in this game. Making it easy for them.

RCC and Fadinger on Maswanhise and Hodge off

Longelo and Lowry on Said and Wilson off

Need to be smarter. Allowing them to turn the game into a shitfest.

Pitch is hideous mind you

Working fine on Prem Sports Player. Very poor from us thus far, although Hodge looks as if he will be quality. Tidy on the ball any lots of movement into pockets from him.
