Save your embarrassment for after the pre-season.

Defence has been pretty poor tonight, especially the full backs.

We should use the Premier Sports cameras more often, it's top quality video tonight,

Should be good now. They weren't streaming until the players were in the tunnel. Timing varies between streams.

Could the home team not even make the effort to wear their right kit?

From the ticketing website. So while it's quite possible the club could be communicating better, it's Ticketmaster that need to be dealing with this. (I really hate Ticketmaster, but they have a monopoly over here too).

Live stream tonight for overseas (and "overseas") subscribers to MFC TV.

Even worse if it's a TV game in front of a big crowd. We never win those.

And then draw a Premiership team away in the next round.

That's how we got Skippy and Faddy back (and Cole come to that), and we managed to sign Watt and O'Donnell as free agents for similar reasons. I didn't think Long was all that bad, and one of the best games I have seen at Pittodrie was when Watt and Long destroyed the Dons defence when we beat them 3 - 0. But he was much better in in a front 2 then when we wasted him playing out wide in 3. He was certainly more effective than guys like Jordan White, Alex Fisher, Conor Sammon or the enigma that was George Newell.

Last season they said they would give a credit to season ticket holders if they couldn't honour any of their 19 home games. By the end of the season they welched on that and offered a small discount on this season's ticket instead. According to their website, that saved them £700k. If they applied a similar approach to other parts of their commercial revenue, I imagine that quickly adds up.

Or longer, if you think that Clydebank -> Airdrie Utd -> Airdrie means they aren't our old rivals that were liquidated in 2002.

So what you're saying is the complaints about his lack of smiling were irrelevant and maybe even obsessive, when the real issue was his perceived ability?

The irony about smile-gate is that Cole smiled even less, but nobody mentioned it.

But not nearly as much as the selfish eejits who think they are special and can sit where they like.

From what I've heard and read, it's missing those chances that helped him rise to cult status. (Not a criticism, btw, I like a bit of character and unpredictability in the team).

If 2m is safe and we can't restrict the crowd to two-jabs-only, where's the harm? We've never tried to come out of a pandemic before (as the recent large spike in infections rate shows), so if a couple of games where you sit in a different seat is the price to pay, then it shouldn't be too much of an effort.

Exactly. If this been billed as a pre-season friendly against QoS, most people would have been saying how nice it was to get a day out in the sunshine, back in the stadium and a win to boot. And while it's not a friendly, it is still very much a pre-season game, a day out in the sunshine, back in the stadium and a win to boot.

So you'd rather get in 3 bodies for the first 4 games that aren't too good, than 3 players that are key team members for the next couple of seasons? If we're bringing in players from down south, it's quite possible we won't see them until late July or early August. In fact, we brought in guys like Watt and O'Donnell as free agents after the window closed and that worked out OK.

And I think it's another freebie for the overseas MFC TV subscribers.

Just going by the, albeit short, Sky Sports page that had quoted a squad number (76) https://www.skysports.com/football/player/172908/michel-parker But I did say it was a "brief google search" - I'm still at work here.

From a brief google search looks like he was at Liverpool, West Ham and Arsenal - so you'd think he some potential.

I'd imagine local authorities on the ground are better placed to make these calls than the Government. When you listen to our safety officer's bit on YouTube today, he mentions things like the shallow pitch of the seat rows in the Hunter means we need 2 rows gap in there. I imagine in other stands and other grounds that's different, and I'm sure there are a dozen other different critiera that need to be taken into account,

The list of youngsters we've released in my lifetime who have gone on to play at a higher level remains at zero. Statistically, sooner or later, there will be an exception, but it's difficult to argue against our track record on that front.

Mine says it's for the end of my couch (bacon roll included). Hope nobody's in my seat.
