Soft pen - although in line with all the other soft handball pens.

He obviously has a plan - no idea what it is.

I think you're missing my context when I said "He needs to be focusing on playing football, not worrying about World Cups" Sounds like we are saying the same thing - job one is getting a game, not worrying about World Cup squads.

Not really. When you aren't getting a game, you need to be doing exactly what is asked by your manager and coaches to get into the first team. No other distractions. Once you're in the first team and playing regularly, you can start thinking about doing enough to get into the national squad.

It's good to see some variation in the set pieces that don't just involve long ball to the back post, short ball to the front post.

I think the biggest testament to our current midfield is we never hear anyone say we miss Lennon Miller. (Of course he'd still be an asset in this team). The midfield we have assembled, with balance that Fadinger, Just, Slattery and Watt bring makes it one of the best I have see for years. And with options like Said we even have a little depth for the first time.

Looking forward to this one. Will just be nice to have a home game, and on grass too. A draw wouldn't surprise me, but if we be a little more clinical we might edge a win.

Long injury list, Desperate for a win. Guaranteed they will beat us.

As others have said "Poor" on that surface is pretty normal for most teams. I find it hard to believe that Livi had to lay a new one because it didn't meet the standard, but the Killie one did. I always point it out, but the biggest issue is that players almost always need to take an extra touch due to the weird bounces and uneven travel. That takes away any chance at fluid moves or good football, and makes it easier for the home team to close you down. Embarrassing that we allow it in the top league.

Another one that would love to see this approach fail. It's no coincidence that the ex-players who dislike our style the most are the ones that used to struggle to make a pass.

We see out a 3 -1 victory and pick up a tidy 3 points. I know people get upset when opposition teams start throwing everything at us when we go a goal or two ahead, but that's what every team should be doing. It's not easy to win a game, especially with so many teams pretty closely matched, and we expect our team to step up a gear and push hard when we're behind. There's been a bit more progress now, and that's 3 out of 4 league games we've won (and drew the other). We just need to keep improving.

We held on to the lead for the entire match.

Still one of my all time favourites. Happy with 3 - 1 today too, if not quite as memorable.

Hope Craigan and Hartley enjoyed watching SK play their preferred style of football, while we took the 3 points. Take your pick...

As David Pleat once said, "2 - 0 is a dangerous scoreline, but I'd rather be 2 - 0 up than 2 - 0 down".

I'm not sure over confidence has been an issue this season. Mostly the opposite, when we get ahead and then lack the confidence to keep playing the same way,

EDIT 😁

Maswanhise hits his 10th of the season.

Even if he wasn't knackered, there will be a bit of rotation (or "load balancing") given we have 3 games to play in the next 8 days (or whatever it is).

Mates from their Rangers days I think. Maybe he's decided he prefers the assistant role as a step closer to being a manager.

Found his level.

But they do have the worst plastic pitch in professional football and will be working on it all week to make it as slow and stick as possible.

I've seen multiple players and managers suggest refs attend training sessions to learn more about the professional game and how players approach it They definitely need something, because you often see decisions that make you wonder if they have ever even kicked a football for fun.

While I obviously disagree with the ref's decision, I am in favour of every ref ignoring VAR every time and just playing on without it.
