Any reason given for Pearson's sacking? Seems a weird piece of timing, as you say, they're not clear of relegation yet.

From Guardian online today (and this is only figures for England) - 28m ago English death toll rises by 367 to 1,651 14:47 A total of 1,651 people who have tested positive for coronavirus in England have died, up 367 from 1,284 on Monday, NHS England said. Looks like saying social distancing was working is a little premature

I suppose they could restart the league at the beginning of May behind closed doors and only play the pre-split games and that's the league and Euro places sorted; one team up and one down and no play-offs. Then we play our semi final on the 3rd weekend and the final the week after.

Noooooo us auld geezers don't like change

Apart from the header against Killie!

That'll be next season, then.

Just announced his retirement.

Isn't Devlin a permanent long term injury worry, though? Sadly, like Hoban, he looks like a really good defender but won't play more that 10-15 games all season.

and let one through his legs in the last couple of minutes.

Thanks for that...worked a treat. By Christ it was hard viewing, though. We're through and that's all that counts in the end.

O'Neill sacked by Forest who've already appointed a new manager.

Really? Not when the final whistle went, because that was the pinnacle - the moment we'd actually won the game. And, by the way, most of us were going berserk when Hewitt scored but you decided to be very philosophical and calm and spoil your mate's enjoyment.

I didn't say he wants to leave, I said I wouldn't be surprised if he left in the summer. His contract is up in a year, he a very good keeper which will have been noted at other Clubs and I shouldn't imagine that the Club would want him to leave for free next season.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Joe Lewis was away too...think his contract is up next summer and he looked really pissed off on Sunday at the end when he was handing his gloves to a young kid.

Congratulations (though I suspect it'll be years not days you'll be busy). Your new one will share a birthday with SAF. Happy New Year to you and yours.

KO time means 2 nights stayover in Glasgow...great.

Why do they have to return any they don't sell - couldn't the Club just take the hit, after all they wouldn't have budgeted for a semi-final appearance.

You probably weren't around when Tommy Pearson was manager when consecutive bad performances were the norm. For instance we draw 0-0 with East Fife (then a poor 2nd division side) in the 1st round of the Scottish Cup and then lost 1-0 in the replay 4 days later. Though it did have a happy ending 'cos it led to the manager resigning and we got Eddie Turnbull.

Intuition, guess or are you in the know? If the latter, when?

You've got a PM.

Looking for a ticket as I bought one from a (regular) poster on Aberdeen-mad but it hasn't arrived. Assume he went on holiday and forgot to post it (haven't been able to contact him since) or it's lost in the post. Train and B&B already booked so will be travelling to Burnley regardless.

Liverpool fan at work today said Ward was going to be given a run as 1st choice after Karius made another couple of blunders in their pre-season friendly.

If that happens wouldn't be surprised to see Ian Wright try to lamp him - Roy Keane as peace-maker?

Well they will get a result but doubt if it'll be a good one. Very few cars/houses with flags at the moment down here but expect that to change tomorrow. Ah well, at least I'll be the gym to myself this afternoon.
