Thistle win 4-1 at Meadowbank over a poor City side in first of group games. 

As it was such a nice night headed over to watch this. First time I can remember being at a game in Scotland with two cooling breaks.

More than a bit shit. I’d already laid the ground to be in the bad books with the wife ffs. 

Just be at the station at back of 8 tomorrow and that ground work won’t have been wasted.

Bit shit that. 
 

Oh well more funds for European trip.

Wow.

5-4 to Real, massive punch up between technical areas at 4-4 in the 94th minute, and then THAT goal by Modric...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, fine.  4-0 PSG.  Don't fancy Chelsea's chances.

Having watched the highlights (went to Hibs v Rot Weiss Essen last night) have to agree that PSG look far to strong for Chelsea and final looks like it will be a pretty one sided affair. However given my gambling failure on this tournament this probably means stick your money on Chelsea. 

You Dons team beaten 4-0 by Peterhead tonight.

First game of this on Friday when Edinburgh City play Partick Thistle.

Another cracking strike by Joao Pedro to make it 2-0. Looks like Chelsea are going to final.

Chelsea go 1-0 up on Fulminense in first of World Club cup semi finals. Cracking strike by Joao Pedro against his former team.

You are also grammatically incorrect with your last line 

I am also too lazy to be grammatically correct.

Good move for him and gets him playing at a higher level. Assuming this is a normal loan rather than  cooperation one.

Yes I am to lazy to look.

I thought he was a striker?

Played 21 of his 28 games last season as forward according to transfermarket site. 7 as winger.

Given the secrecy of our signings, were we even in for him???

Scott Burns seems to be on the money with his stories this year so guessing we were but have been out bid. Happens so we move on. 

Some ending to that game. Madrid were 2-0 up with 3 minutes to go and it ended 3-2 with Madrid down to 10 as Huisjen sent off and Courtois making a fantastic save as Dortmund almost equalised with last kick.

2-0 Madrid now. This could be a rout if Dortmund don’t get the finger out. 

Finished 2-0 to 9 man PSG.

Last quarter final Madrid already 1-0 up on Dortmund. 

Horrible looking injury for Musiala for Bayern following a collision with Donnaruma. Looked like might be a broken leg or dislocation. 

Was surprised to see Alfie Stewart in this team and not with first team in Portugal. Wonder if he is another who will be leaving.

PSG v Bayern been decent so far. End to end but still 0-0. 

Very young Dons side beaten 4-0 by Buckie this afternoon.

Al-Hilal penalty award overturned in the 1st half, and further attempts booked for diving in the 2nd.   

Bet that didn't go down too well in Riyadh, there's a ref who won't be officiating any World Cup games any time soon.

Wouldn’t be accepting any invites to a Saudi embassy if I was him.

I switched it off at the wrong time then. was utter dog shite so put Yankees Mets on instead.

Was really good second half. Fluminense won 2-1 after withstanding waves of Al Hilal attacks at the end.

2-1 Fulminense with a really good finish. Better second half. 

Al Hilal equalise in first of club World Cup quarterfinals.

From Jimmy Thelin's quotes on the online article:-

"We have also protected ourselves if he does well, so this is a good arrangement for all involved.”

 

I just read that as we will kneecap the fucker if we are drawn against county in the cup but yes on reflection that does sound like we have a clause in the contract.

Not surprised. Didn't think Marshall or Emslie would have been ready for first team for at least a couple of years, if ever. Probably not worth taking the risk on. 

I thought both looked like they would be decent options of the bench and no more of a risk than bringing in lads from Europe with little game time of a similar age for a fee. 
 

Done now and we move on but just case they do make it I hope we get a sell on clause built in to any deals.
