    Played full game as Macedonia get a 1-1 draw with Italy. 

    NORTH Macedonia drew 1-1,  Italy would have lost if they had to play whole of Macedonia

    And as mentioned the other night, we do look disorganized and are finishing with a front 3 but all are center forwards, two out of position trying to give us width. No right mid option other than Morris or Devlin....worrying.

    Thought Morris had his best game for us...came on, only twice lost his man, got in 1 good cross and then got injured (hopefully not trivial) and was subbed off all in 15 mins. 

    Just really pissed off tonight.

    M77 then M8

    Away End

    M8 then M77

    1-3 (Bojan, Clarkson & Sokler)

    Should be some atmosphere with over 4,000 of us in attendance and easily outnumbering the home support.

    In

    train down

    Beers somewhere in Livingston as Edinburgh will be heaving (egg-chasers game at Murrayfield KO 3:15)

    train back

    Beers celebrating still being at the top of the league

    Have to say Manc what I have watched has been pretty poor standard. Some pretty awful football in the main and definitely would not be be paying to watch games. 

    Only seen the highlights so far so can't comment on overall standard but the goal NZ scored in the first game was terrific fitba - we won't score a goal like that because whenever we have a goal kick (and most other teams do exactly the same) 20 players make their way to a small area either side of the half-way line and Roos hoofs it hail-Mary style and hope for the best.

    Man City win Champions League - turns out money can actually buy you everything.  When does the FFP judgement come in?

    Around the time when the Speaker in the HoC says "'Order! You haven't answered the question".

    Not been to Valley so I have booked flights down to this one. 

    The only time I went there was to see them play Bury in the early 70s - the ground was absolutely massive, you could pick your row, never mind your seat.  It's a bit smaller nowadays.

  8. Clarkson is certainly as good as James Maddison was for us (his goal today was similar to that one against the huns)  There was a break in play after one of his passes and the ref. was clearly saying something complimentary to him.  As for the Roos save you mentioned...didn't think at any point that he was going to score, and Roos looked like was asking Main "is that was the best you can do". Roos is another one I fear will be in the radar of other clubs.

    No Duk or McCrorie. 

    Big game for Watkins. He's a player I like, but coking off the bench for cameos and starting a big game are two different things. Might not get 90 minutes out of him but need a strong hour anyway.

    Richardson and Barron too under the microscope.

    You insinuating that Watkins is Gove-esque?

    Big test for our rookie manager. Injuries and a poor performance going into biggest game of the season will give us an idea of his abilities. Watkins is obvious replacement for Duk. Morris and Markandy both looked very poor on Saturday so will not be happy if either start. Watkins hasn’t been much better either but has at least had decent games in the past. Do we consider starting Bavidge? I would also look to play Kennedy instead of Coulson as he struggled on Saturday. Kennedy at least is a right sided player and has had decent games at right wing back. Can see Baron coming in for Duncan in midfield as well. Hunbos have not been in good form either so perform and we can win this.

    Bus to Roseburn for opening

    away end

    pub in town to avoid Beyoncé crowds

    1-1 Miovski

    Could play Hayes at rwb as he's more two-footed than Coulson.

    Jealous that you've got tickets...I've got my train tickets a couple of weeks ago but no match tickets because of the allocation we were given, so will have to see if I can get a refund.

    You're a lucky, lucky man to be old enough to have memories of those years.

    Fantastic being there and I remember it like it was yesterday...although nowadays I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday.

    Good spot. That would mean if Livingston don't make top six that one of Rangers' home games would have to be away, and Celtic will need an extra home game. 

    Quite happy to take Rangers at Pittodrie a third time and for Hearts to go to Celtic Park again, feel that's fair.

    Post split fixtures -

    Sevco (a) 7th May

    Hibs (h) 13th May

    Hearts (a) 20th May

    St. Mirren (h) 24th May

    Septic (a) 27th May.

    Any idea why we're playing Saints for the 3rd time at home and septic for the 3rd time away?

    with traditional sevco TV commentary (suspect it might get taken down soon)

    Just got back, via a few pubs.  Just clicked on your clip without scrolling down, and wondered why the commentators were so subdued until I realised where source was from. Not really been a fan of Scales until today...he was like a ballerina at times, definitely my MoM.   Apparently we had 25% possession...but especially in the 2nd half most of their possession was because we  pressed them higher up the pitch.  We also had couple of good chances to put the game to bed, much clearer chances than they created with all their possession.

    Really enjoyed watching the first half back (haven't had time for the second yet), but what a difference to the last few weeks let alone rest of the season. Aggression and drive was there for all to see. As others have said, really liked seeing the midfield trio working really well and hard for each other. Thought it was a bit harsh on Gorter but Roos seemed to be fine and he is actually our no.1. Always great to get one over them. Crowd sounded good too.

    Gorter wasn't on the bench so guess there was some other issue.

    Fantastic first half from Dons. Hearts are  hopless. Only downside is it looks like rain.

    Thought we were fantastic for 30mins and from then on we were merely excellent.  How we didn't score 6/7 is beyond me.  We seem to be getting the ball wide quicker then getting crosses into the box quickly, keep that up and Miovski will soon be getting his share of the goals. Ramadami was immense today along with Shinnie (but then we expect it of him), Clarkson was also excellent until he began to run out of steam.  The 2 CBs are exactly what we were missing under Goodwin, if you are in any doubt just belt it up park/head it away, don't try anything fancy.
