PSG 1-0 up on Arsenal at half time. Pretty even so far.

Could be wrong but it appears Leeds U21s are 2-0 up in the national league cup final. Seems to be a frankenstein tournament of national league teams vs premiership/ championship reserves. Least so far englandshire hasnt seen fit to put u21 premier teams in their lower leagues.

I'm absolutely dreading this as our record against st mirren for the past 5 years is fucking grim. We have not won at Paisley in the league since february 2020 (goals from Lewis Ferguson and Sam Cosgrove), we have attempted to get league wins there 8 times since and lost 6 times. If you Include that match and the all the matches in the league since them that is 18 fixtures of which we have won 6, drawn 4 and lost 8. I doubt any other team in the league could boast a better record against us apart from the tims. So, yeah, dreading this one. That said we are defo coming into this with a spring in our step and we are well overdue a result there. It will be interesting to see if Thelin goes with the same outfield team for an unprecedented 5th match on the bounce. Re Palaversa he's one yellow away from a 2 match ban and theres no danger hes going the rest of the seaosn without being booked.

I caught "Ref Watch" on SSN yesterday. They included the "incident" where a free kick was awarded to Aberdeen after a brief goalmouth scramble for a foul on Mitov I think. Dermot Gallagher seemed to be of the opinion that there was no foul and that the "goal should have stood" (possibly paraphrasing) but for a goal to stand the ball would first have to cross the line and it seemed pretty clear to me from the replay from behind the goal that the whole ball wasn't even close to crossing the line. Fuds.
