Shame, red shite are out ? City through in the end.

I get that, but racism trumps it all imo. Kamara should have been allowed to do what he wanted (I know, I know). Nothing less is acceptable. They've shown once again that they're looking at this incorrectly. From the colonizers perspective.

I know it goes against the grain of the thread, but it's still relevant. I can't believe they gave Kamara a 3 match ban. Seriously, the guy was racially abused, what is wrong with these people?!

Which is actually even funnier, as that was the first All Whites game in something like two years from memory. They as a national team, never seem to have any games. Dortmund beating shitty at the mo, red scum and franco scum 0-0.

Livi haven't been on the best run of form of late, and obviously got pumped by Celtic at the weekend. Last time out against us (at Pittodrie) we lose 2-0, a game which kinda summed our season up. A fumbling Lewis, shite team from McInnes, no proper strikers and no goals. Obviously this is SG's first game in charge and all the talk (understandably) has been very positive, so I am very intrigued to see what team he puts out. I doubt there'd be a magically change in quality of play, but who knows. He's got a few big calls to make. The draw has been favourable to us, so we really need to make this cup competition count. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-0 Dons, Ferguson

Be interesting to see what changes (if any) he makes to the starting line up. Obviously he's a bit hamstrung at the moment, but given his intent on youth, it'll be interesting to see how many are promoted / utilised.

Doing it in Wellington tomorrow too, 41 gun salute...

Saints have been going about their business quietly, not scoring lots of goals, but regular wins and by small margins. So I can't see this being any different. We're still pish but hopefully we'll continue to see the youth getting a bit more of a run around. Ramsay was very promising on the weekend and it's clear some of the senior players are done. Will Glass be having a say on things now? In/out: Out Prematch: Bed Match: Bed Post Match: Bed Prediction: 1-1, Kamberi

You're the first person I've seen say that about him. Personally, I don't think he'll cut it, as he's not progressive enough but how folk were blaming him for the poor performance yesterday surprised me. Especially since there are experienced pro's in that team who are massively under performing / past it. Seems like a nice kid, and I wish him well. I just haven't seen anything that makes me think he's what we need to take us forward. Caveat being, I didn't watch this game (just the highlights), it's more of a feeling I have generally speaking. Edit: Ramsay looks a player, good to see some excellent crosses getting played in. Decent effort from Ross as well. Actually seemed like we were wasteful from the highlights, but that'll be why they're in the highlights reel. Highlights:

So I’m guessing there’s no need to bother with the highlights for this one then? Through to the next round, that’s all that matters. For now at least.

I'm guessing he'll have eyes on the ground and plenty of video footage (if not a live feed into training). Obviously not ideal.

Potentially a great appointment

I had been tempted to write that myself. But was going full optimism mode...

That sounds like complete BS. Given we all know how DM operates, if he spends that amount of money on a player, he played him regardless.

Impressive stash there KD!

You're probably right Jute, highly unlikely they didn't know. Just want a win, any win will do.

Shite news, regardless of whether he was playing next season or not ?

Last game was particularly tight against the Sons (Cosgrove pen), and both our respective forms are pretty poor. Obviously they've not played that much of late, but can see this being similar to previous fixtures, especially given our lack of attacking prowess. Really need something positive to come out of this season, so need to progress, any means necessary. Interesting to see if the attitude of the team changes now they know who the management team are going to be. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-1, Kamberi

He’ll have my support, but I’m not happy about this appointment, not in the slightest. At a time when we needed to create unity, this isn’t the one.

Edit: updated now, will update the graphic later ?

I'm inclined to agree re: the coaching staff, unless they show a complete mindset change over the next few games, will probably need to be offski. The culture of the club (as well as squad members) needs overhauling this summer and we've got a good excuse to do it. Ferguson definitely has another level in him and hopefully whoever comes in can extract it out of him. But agree with LA, we'd be silly not to try and sell for the right price. Team dependent too. I am concerned re: McRorie tbh. I wonder if we've now signed a dud (due to covid) and if he'll ever rediscover his form. His lungs will be fucked as a consequence of it, hence his poor fitness levels.

ED mentioned that to me on WhatsApp, one of the few Scottish names that would appeal.

Absolutely this. The squad is mediocre, much like the clubs ambitions. This summer is a massive opportunity to start with a relative clean slate.

Rumours of a slavia player getting (rightly so) battered at ibrox. If he’s found of a racist slur, he deserves everything

So, first game post McInnes era. I expect us to play free flowing football and score multiple goals. Anyway, reality, it will be interesting to see how the team respond to all of the recent news. Will they find new energy or will they just carry on as they were? I'd hope they play with a bit more freedom. I'm not expecting a win here but I don't expect it to be a goalless draw like the last two games. Out Bed Bed Bed (Ha) 1-1, Consi
