Hoping Swaddon can make it 2 from 2 in all honesty one of the few winnable games and I think we should be going into it with a bit of confidence. Credible draw last time out in Europe and a decent 3 points (not performance) at the weekend. out work work work 2-1 to the good guys, lazetic and Devlin

Can't argue with any of that I'm still in shock with the lack of cricket, but it would be interesting to see a report on the impact 20/20 has had on test cricket. Yes, Starc was on fire, but fuck me, some of the shots attempted should have been easy blocks. Completely shafted the fans out of at least a day of cricket. I was chatting to an aussie mate and we thought it wouldn't make beyond 3 days. Christ we were wrong.

That’s the only silver lining. I worry that they’re seeing how pish the league is and decided to get their shit together.

Was an excellent start to my Monday morning, waking up to this result. Had hopes this was gonna happen, but there seemed to be so many uncertainties re: the line ups of both teams. Looking forward to catching the highlights at lunchtime! Already seen the goal, was a classic Topi goal that we know he can and should score more of.

No idea what to expect today tbh. As you say Al, any kind of win will do and that’s all I hope for. Doesn’t matter how we get it, seems like our confidence is fragile at best so anything to help it improve is all I ask for.

Love cricket. Being in NZ, there's plenty of it and England really didn't look great in their warm up games here. I think it's going to be a whitewash in all honesty. Hopefully they can dig deep and find a few performances though, would be a shame to be a complete waste of a spectacle.

Looking forward to a drop of the good stuff tonight it’s been a long day

Fuck all work got done during those two hours. Was almost greetin at my desk. Wild, still can’t believe we’ve actually qualified for a World Cup. What a year 2025 has been. Proper roller coaster of a year. Three of the best goals we’ll see in a modern Scotland jersey. I mind questioning why no one else had lobbed schmeichel as he was miles off his line. Then king Kenny does his thing.

I thought he’d lost that status since consi had left?

Usually a first come first serve so fire away! Anything for an easy life Really don’t know what to make of this game and hoping that it’s not just the heart leading things, but feels like we could sneak this. I’d love to see mcwinless’ smug face wiped clean off and the gorgie mongrels put back in their box. Their fans (quite rightly so) have been unbearable online. All I hope is we’ve somehow worked out what our best midfield is and find a way to score a goal or two. out bed bed work Dons 1 - 0 Hearts, Karlsson

Ha that’s a shame, never knew he was of that opinion, but I don’t think this thread wasn’t about when he used to post here.

Interview is on youtube:

Wise words, thank you sensei.

This would be a very pleasing turn of events if we manage to indeed pull this off.

Disappointing, this was on my watch list! I'm still trying to get the wife to watch house of Guinness with me, but think it’s a bit violent for her tastes in the meantime we’re watching The Beast In Me with Carrie Matheson. Good cast and decent watch so far.

Hard to disagree with any of that, although I really would like us to retain Clarkson by actually getting the best out of him. Him not playing is ridiculous. Ultimately, I don't want to see Marshall go for nothing, if we've still got a chance anyway.

Surely due a call back in Jan? Seems to be doing everything right at the moment.

Disappointing really, think that's how you can describe his time with us. Promised a good amount and it's not happening for him (with or without us). As Jute says, best for all concerned if we just part ways.

Could still do a job for us

haha kow why’d you move it? Surely it’s quite likely this would be linked to the clubs announcement yesterday?

Haha it’s not med weather by any stretch, or even Auckland , but I’m sat here in T-shirt and shorts. So it’s definitely not autumn / winter weather.

Rules are rules

My wife bought a pack of mince pies the other day. I've refused to eat any until December. Also, having mince pies in a warmer climate is weird.

That's not a bad idea to have a separate random club news thread. Even Rico could probably subscribe to that (with caveats).

Jutes usually gone by half time
