Yeah, the 2nd champions league spot doesn’t kick in until season after and then the whole thing changes with the European caramel wafer cup the following season. If we win the cup and finish 3rd, 4th place will get in europa league.

Seedorf was pretty good in flashes earlier in the season. Those flashes have been rarer as the seasons gone in, but then he invariably gets brought on with 20-25 minutes to go. It is hard to consistently make an impact in those circumstances. Saturday was a chance for him which he didn’t take.

Think Steven McGarry is a coach there?

I’d guess worst case he’s found guilty of breach and 2nd charge dropped.

In the court of public opinion, “hitting a woman” is probably seen as worse.

If he’s found guilty of the assault charge, he probably has to go. Which is pretty inconvenient.

Aye, sorry. BBC article far more specific than the one I read earlier. Innocent until proven guilty, may well be some context that explains his actions, especially if there was others involved.

Is this not just speculation? Theres no info in the public domain about what the accusations are, is there? It says 2 charges, presume one is just breach of the peace?

Nathan Thomas got an early goal for Carlisle in the FA cup v Cardiff this evening. I vaguely remember his stint at fir park

My only objection to Griffiths would be that we’d be getting him fit for Celtic possibly at the expense of the development of Long/Scott etc. From a Scotland point of view I’d be for it given the lack of options the national team have.

Is that why it doesn’t say it’s a Motherwell fan in the story? Thought the club would’ve released something saying a fan had been banned and reported to the police or whatever? Or can they not because of court case. Im curious now.

Not that it makes a difference really, but feel the temperature of the drink is an unnecessary trumping of the charge. Steam comes off yer Pish in the east stand toilets, doesn’t mean it’s boiling hot, you’d be lucky if it was hot at half time, never mind 70 minutes into a game.

I’d say they can have him normally, but I’ll win quite a bit of money if Sunderland can get up the league, so I’m suggesting we take one for the team here and sign him.

I find the open goal stiff quite hard listening, but listening to Paul Slane, I’m not sure things would’ve panned out a great deal differently if he’d stayed at Motherwell? It sounds like he had real issues with confidence etc. Some sort of imposter syndrome.

I kind of agree that some of these players just find their level. Perhaps some get ideas above their station and stop developing and others become disillusioned being a small fish in a big pond? Obviously having the talent and physical attributes are massive factors in “making it” in football, but having your head screwed on, making the right decisions and a huge chunk of luck in terms of being in the right place at the right time, or a manager taking a shine to you are probably equally important for many. Loads of guys who made a good career out of football will admit to not being the best in their age groups coming through, but they got a chance and took it.

Yes, was tongue in cheek. Sure there is some science to support warm weather training, particularly in recovery. Was just meaning it doesn’t mean he’ll be back playing in 2 weeks.

He’s flying out to replace Seedorf 2/3rds through the camp. :p

I see David Turnbull is in Tenerife with the squad. Not sure what that means in terms of his fitness? Maybe just a free holiday to help his recovery.

Bet Gorrin to get booked, surely has to happen

The media reaction and Rangers fans tears over the 2nd Morelos booking are mental. It was a 2nd yellow not a straight red. I’d never condone throwing things at him, but this was as a result of his celebration (no excuse), rather than somehow vindicating his “celebration”. No excuse for throwing things at him, but let’s not put the horse before the cart. The Scott Brown incident they keep referring to was during a lap of honour, and while I agree it was poor judgement on his part, there’s no scope to retrospectively punish him. Michael Higdon Id also add Morelos has been pushing his luck by continually goading opposition fans after scoring, he took it too far on Sunday and was rightly booked. Like their “3 players offside” pish from last week, it seems their tactic is shout your disinformation loud enough for long enough and it will become fact. Like the media and SFA witch hunt against them. Don’t make us laugh.

What happened to Charles Dunne? It says a lot that he’s not even mentioned in this.

We defended really well at St Mirren, they didn’t get a sniff. Only save Gillespie made was in injury time.

Could be a really bad week for them. Blew a 2 goal lead at Pittodrie, while Celtic score in injury time to open up a gap at top. Pump Celtic in a cup final and lose. If they lose on Thursday, they will be absolutely broken, even if they get a result an intense 10 days will surely take a toll on them. They do have a squad that should allow them to rotate if required bringing mind you.

IIRC last time we played them up there in cup it was on TV. Leigh Griffiths got sent off. Yeah, used to be if I went to one away game that would always be it. Remember some great crowds at these games.

It looks like you can buy your ticket online and print at home. Anyone able to confirm this? I don’t want to go right through checkout as I need to make sure I’m home on time to go first...
