Not a bad half but raith came more into it after the goal, and we certainly need to score more. Maybe even a little fortunate to be level. Lost momentum at the end of the half. Seen very little from Armstrong, plus milanovic is his usual effective self, yank those two for shinnie and bilalovic. Gyamfi for frame, he’s been non existent since his booking and lacks pace so vulnerable defensively.

I don’t have an issue there. How good have our deliveries been, and how many have we scored from set plays? Cameron has played well so far, done more than a lot of players, plus I think he and Clarkson are a good combo.

Good foul by gyamfi. Best to take him off, frame time!

To be fair, good play on the left from topi. Direct, aggressive and attacks.

Josh Fowler listed in some places as a right/left winger. Pace? milanovic is no different to Jensen. Rarely goes forward, inside sideways and back.

You’re starting to see it. We cannot win headers. They are starting to be more direct.

You mean pass the gloves to Clarkson? Hmmm. Interesting approach.

Think Clarkson and Cameron could be very good together, def need a heavy lifter in there too though. doing our best to get raith an equalizer, two scrambles now!

Ffs. Milanovic never goes wide. Much like topi recently, pretty much 1v1 if he’d only go on the outside. Santa didn’t bring a pacy winger, maybe one sneaks in this window??

Exactly the game we wanted so far. Not physical and we can play. Suits our technical players. Good intensity too. misses the pregame, any info on Cameron re long term?

Var intervening because we did something good?

Good start! Happy for Milne.

Var today?

We’re almost an expanded 5s team, such little balance, strength, ariel ability, graft. Could be good, could get completely overrun or killed in the air. Do think this was a game for shinnie to start.

Actually would prefer Kjarten and Clarkson behind Cameron, better balance.

Apologies for the source. Not as accurate as my trundle wheel, but this is what I mean.

That’s where we differ. I don’t believe, and intel supports, these are not innocent people. Pulling them over to chat doesn’t benefit innocent people. you are correct, every single government is corrupt, you pick and chose your battles. we can agree to disagree, gearing up for the game!

That’s a line up!!! Zero strength in central midfield, polvara left CB?? Hope we get a look at Frame. al least we may have wingers, topi right and milanovic left? Or will he switch and stay inverted?? Criminal if he persists with the clearly failing inverted approach. hope we don’t need to reach for karlsson, would like to see how we cope, or play better, playing without him.

Perhaps. I just don’t subscribe to things I used to believe in. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. intel shows armed drug dealers bringing drugs to the US. You want us to pull them over. I’d rather lose drug dealers and protect the lives of our agents, and protect our citizens from drugs.

It absolutely does. What else are they then? Go fast boats in the middle of the night with no lights on are not asylum seekers or fishermen.

We can only ‘believe’ what we see/read, but it’s the satellite images plus the type of boats used, the size and speed say a lot.

Game day! And no clue what to expect! would love width. Topi on the right, bilalovic on the left, not that they are great, just our best options for width and pace. Really wish we’d can the inverted approach. Sounds like Cameron may play, him at 10 should he start, behind nisbet/lazetic. I don’t see Cameron taking clarkson’s spot, it may be Clarkson and shinnie behind him. We’re clearly flawed in central midfield, no option is great, but I do feel Shinnie has to start for drive/influence/leadership. I don’t think either 9 is great and while I think lazetic is the better player, nisbet is prob the better team player. 3-1 us, nisbet shinnie clarkson

I totally hear you on the last point. I honestly dont have an issue blowing up Venezuelan drug boats and overthrowing a drug cartel. Thats less drugs here, and less drugs going to the UK. Think that benefits us all. I also think it’s not so much about US access to oil or minerals, but preventing them going to Russia and china. I thinks it’s just as much if not more that than simply the US wanting more. Squeezing them has its concerns. Greenland is directly between Russia and the US. US has military interests there that not only protect against missile detection/interception, but also protects Europe. a defensive move in my opinion to protect more than just the US. Im not 100% certain but I read that with the arctic melting you could see about 40% of world trade using the waters around Greenland. Russia has significantly increased shipping and military in those areas and US is trying to prevent being limitled/cut off and improve access for the US and allies. Just what I read!

I’m not taking this as an attack, just commenting that there’s more to tariffs in play in my opinion. I’m simply pointing out that while the tariffs affect the cost of goods, there are other factors that mean the economy here is changing. It’s not simply that it becomes more expensive because of tariffs, other factors make it more affordable which means the tariff changes aren’t impacting us the way some may seem to make out. the tariffs have also resulted in jobs and industry moving back here which brings more jobs and money into our economy. we’re not in a deflationary period, but inflation was at around 9% at one point, we’re now mid 2s. Increasing costs have certainly slowed while new laws/benefits are in place that I believe more than compensate for the tariffs. i know I see things differently and I tend to avoid this thread now as Ive had personal attacks when I comment on my personal experience here, but I hear some truths, many partial truths posted, or flat out incorrect points and that’s hard to take at times. Tariffs are one that have been used to improve us economy, but they have had a very negative spin in the media, and can obviously negatively affect other countries (but that’s not what I am discussing.)
