I'm raging Duncan wasn't brought on at all. He would have been far more effective than Morris.

That's a fucking sore one to take.

Postecoglou is very likeable I have to say

Aye I would start Duncan over Morris at the moment. Has Mackenzie ever actually played as a cb?

Rome wasn't built in a day 2bf. Overall I think has been a good window which is impressive given the turnaround required.

Nothing wrong with being a bit pragmatic. By that I mean the club should experiment with dropping the prices a wee bit when the team is playing well for cat b and c games. People like seeing their team win after all

First thing I thought of when I saw the draw. Have to say I was chuffed for Mcinnes tonight. Great result for Killie to win at Tynecastle

You literally said, in your first post, So, no, there's nothing pedantic about pointing out your example, where the final result isn't a tie, doesn't make any sense.

Closes tomorrow eve mate

I disagree, I would say it's a goal scoring opportunity as the ball has not yet gone into the net. Also, you can't say you stop that deliberate foul. In this instance Suarez doesn't know for sure he's going to get caught and it's the last minute of extra time so what has he to lose?

What on earth are you talking about? That makes even less sense than one goal being worth more than another.

Ryan Duncan may have played his way into the starting 11, he's been excellent since he came on.

The one thing I will say in the teams defence tonight is this pitch is well narrow. 61 metres. For context Tynecastle pre new main stand was 64 (its 68 now), Pittodrie is 66, hampden (renowned for being very wide) is 70. This was always going to be a stodgy game for us, Goodwin likes his wingers.

They are well over rated

I disagree. We are 9 in with an entirely new back 5. They ain't gonna really know each other on the pitch for a few months yet imo.

You are literally admitting yourself that away goals are worth more than home goals. How could you award the tie to a team if they were not? Saying worth double is just easy language to use and to all intents and purposes it's true.

I don't agree with dropping Roos purely on the grounds the defence is still getting to know each other. None of the back 5 should be getting swapped unless absolutely necessary for the time being imo. Have to say, fwiw my feeling at the moment is that Lewis is a better shot stopper, 1 on 1er etc.

Have to say Jute, I doff my cap to the amount of football you watch. How many games a week do you reckon you go through on average?

Paterson left the club in the boot of a car to be fair.

I must admit I did have to watch them both few times to be sure but, nah, nothing soft about either of them. With the first I was more not sure about the red as it took a few rewatches before I could make my mind up if vinny was going to be able to get a shot away after he nicked the ball. Defo pen, defo red. Overall the ref had a really good game, never looked lost or out of control.

How would you have treated ramirez? He wasn't even expected to return after bugging out early, has a year left on his deal and a significant investment has been made to bring in Miovski and Duk. They both have 4 years on their deals and both are young and improving. Given Goodwin doesn't tinker with the team much (which you have as a positive) how do you get ramirez into the team? Even without the above Miovski is clearly a far better solo frontman and player in general. Don't get me wrong, I like ramirez and if he wasn't one of the highest earners I would probably advocate trying to keep him. He is though and it's better we get that off the bill to my eye. Brown had to go, no question. One of the worries I had about the glass appointment was that the assistant had a bigger profile than the manager. If he had been kept as a coach the same problem existed which is why I reckon Goodwin was only prepared to keep him as a player. He was also on a big wedge too so that's another wage that has been better deployed.

Strange one on the face of it, Sunderland look a bigger club but they have been a basket case for a while. No idea what stokes basket case status currently is.

Ramirez is on a big wedge though, that wage could be better deployed if he's gonna be on the bench most of the season

Just because a result doesn't end in a draw doesn't mean the rule wouldn't have had an effect on how the game was played. Quite frankly I just think one goal being worth more than another is incredibly stupid. It kinda reminds me of arguing with fucking rugby fans after the Ghana Uruguay game where Gyan bottles the last minute penalty from the suarez handball. Ghana should be put through. No they shouldn't they lost. Suarez handled on the line He was penalised and Ghana bottled the penalty. It should just have been awarded as a goal. ........ You want to award a goal when you know the ball hasn't crossed the line? No wonder your favourite sport is so shit. An away goal counting as double in the event of a draw is just as imaginary a goal.

Got any stats on that SeeBass?
