Shame, probably would have been the perfect time to test him, but that does make sense. Last thing we'd need is for him to pick up a knock by being thrown in too quickly.

I think we'd all be surprised if he was still with us next season, but definitely don't want to lose him this. If we're giving Polvara minutes this season, we really need to tie him down.

Would have been worse for me if aus had made the final. So thank you for your sacrifice

Good to see Rhys Williams lining up for the development team tonight.

Allocation for the game now sold out

I really want it to work out for him. Seems to have his head screwed on. Don’t think we can rely on him completely as he’s still young, but happy to see him get a decent chunk of minutes over the season. Started well so far.

In sadder news, I see shankland is being linked with the Saudi league. Hearts will be quids in.

Was going to start a new thread in all honesty, but actually quite like the simplicity of it, so quite happy to keep this one unless there's a desire for it's own separate thread?

Forward: Duk - 7 Miovski - 26 Sokler - 4 Boyd - 2 midfield: Clarkson - 4 Hoilett - 2 McGrath - 12 Polvara - 4 Shinnie - 3 Defence: Devlin - 4 Gartenmann - 3 Hayes - 1 Mackenzie - 1 MacDonald - 2 Goalkeeper: O.G.

Been quite amusing seeing the number of mentions poor Burrows gets on Twitter. Fair fucks to the guy for responding to as many as he does! Am I a bit concerned with what’s left, yes, but sure as hell don’t think the club aren’t aware of it

Not that it changes things really, but huns win so Tims will want to keep tack.

Hard to be positive for this one. Only thing we have is it’s at home. I assume it’s safe to say besuijen is done at the club? Had hoped Robson coming back would be a good sign and opportunity for him to find some form. We need something creative and losing both Ramadani and McCrorie in the same window has been a massive blow to the spine of the team. Hopefully the management don’t persist on the hoof ball tactic, Celtic will just sweep it up. had hoped we’d see a signing or two before this game but I guess it’s going to happen at the end of the month. May get scales post Celtic game but we need someone to work as a foil for shinnie to enable Clarkson to play. is McDonald back for this one? Will be too soon for McGarry if he has arrived but assume they’re still over in Oz. out bed work work 4-0, no dons scorer.

you're right, they probably aren't far off, but I feel like the conference may have some more winnable games rather than just getting pumped 6 times or however many it is.

Definitely feels like the conference league is the way to go. Not that there aren't some potentially hellish trips there, there are many more better ones though.

Tim mate thinks it's bollocks as they've a bid in for a swedish defender. So I'd say it's very much that. Wouldn't mind O'Hara or Baccus. Though he is a dirty Siddneeeeeyy bastard

Couldn’t make it up, thank you hibs

Suppose I more meant the level of competence we saw from him with McDonald and pollock rather than Stewart et al.

Went to the Japan Norway round of 16 game last night. Was superb. Excellent atmosphere, pretty much a Japan home match it seemed with the amount of backing they had. Japan are so confident playing out the back when you’d think they’d lose it, rarely did. Shame wellingtons last game is at a stupid time of day. Presumably for the yanks to not watch their team since they failed to top their group the quality was very good last night. Japan thoroughly deserved it, but Norway still looked dangerous when they got close to goal.

Feels like this would make sense, although I feel that is heavily reliant on scales forming the same type of relationship he had with the defence as he did last season. McGarry is fine going forward, but defending wasn’t his forte. When he goes bombing up, that person needs to be able to handle the pressure.

Probably regret saying this, but work has organised $10 tickets which include the film, cocktail and snacks. Seemed too good to pass so will be watching in a week or so’s time.

Good player, had struggled with injury earlier in his career but I was disappointed when he left the nix. He wasn’t first choice, but there wasn’t much between him and the then Lb. Wasn’t as good as Cacace who I wanted us to sign, but improved big time at CCM. Was always a frustration when he played for the nix that he didn’t shoot and get forward enough. Then he did with them and scored some screamers last season. Believe he started his career further up field and moved to the back line. I’m trying to remember if I saw him play as part of a back 3, uffie played a 4-2-2-2 but not sure what Montgomery utilised.

Don’t know if I’m ready for the season to start yet, I don’t feel like we’re there as a squad yet but the date is the date! haven’t really paid much attention to what most of the rest of the league have done over summer and with their pitch, would we want to start Rubezic? Be very interested to see if we still have Ramadani, I’d imagine we won’t see him in red again as they’ll want to keep him wrapped in cotton wool? Should be a good crowd from the Dons! Certainly sounds like plenty of folk are heading for it.

Good ideas Panda, certainly could help increasing traffic. I “run” the Twitter, but it’s very much a side show. Hard when I’m on the other side of the world trying to hit those peak viewing times. Have access to Facebook too, but given some of the Facebook comments you see, and my very infrequent use of it, it doesn’t get much attention. merging and then advertising it more absolutely make sense. Will see what we can do.

Looking forward to seeing what this guy can do. His stats compared to scales are generally favourable. Welcome aboard Slobodan!

Yikes, Charlton aren’t a good side and looked like we gave them far too much space. Fully expect dadia to take a bit of time if I’m honest. Not sure why but I’d imagine it’s a fair culture shock, whether he realises it yet or not. there’s been a lot of positivity about polvara since he’s come back (and even before he did), hopefully he and the club have managed to turn his fortunes around.
