Comfortable victory tonight but hard to judge the performance as they were very poor side. Would like to see Hedges start on Sunday.

Monday with ties to be played 17th September.

Aye might just.

Just before game started on Bet365.

Hedges on for Main at half time. Surely not another injury.

Took us at -3 and even that is only 2/1.

McCrorie could be right back and Hayes left back?

Considine being back means we can move Hayes away from left back into a more forward position which will allow him to hopefully to influence the game a bit more. Assuming Main will start up front so our defence’s punts......I mean skilful long passes will have a target.

Thing is when the Tribute Act were out of the top flight the clubs tried to vote through changes one club voted with Celtic to keep the status quo. Aberdeen are complicit in this state of affairs.

Despite promotion Elche sacked their coach today.

Agreed. Major rebuild required there. Too many players who are on the way down and others who have not reached the levels they have prior to joining Barcelona.

Some Spanish commentators are suggesting this is brinksmanship from Messi to force the current President out early. Could be interesting few weeks as the favourite to replace to replace current President has already said he does not want Koeman and instead wants Xavi as manager. Koeman might not even make it to the start of the season.

Scotland squad for Nations Leagues games against Czech Republic and Israel. Dykes called up for first time.

Was part of an organised match fixing investigation in Latvia. Link to article on the investigation below. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/d7myvk/match-fixing-and-money-laundering-the-bitter-demise-of-latvian-football

Main replaced Bryson who pulled out in the warm up according to Red TV.

This mob could be one of the worst teams we have faced in Europe and as said elsewhere as long as we approach this is a professional manner we should be winning this comfortably. Agree with those saying Wright should keep his place but with Main making an appearance on Sunday I expect us to revert to 1 up front again and Wright likely to be the one who drops out. Oot Work then 10 second commute to couch Red TV Flat 4-0 Main Hedges Watkins and Taylor.

Elche prompted to la liga after beating Girona in play off final 1-0. Elche only got into play offs when Deportivo beat Fuenlabrada with a last minute penalty in a game that was delayed for 3 weeks after season ended due to positive COVID tests in Fuenlabrada team.

Bayern beat PSG 1-0 in Champions league final. Not as good a final as Friday but still an enjoyable game. Good to see Neymar and PSG failing to win. Neymar really is an odious diving cunt. As I said before really enjoyed the knockout format for both Champions and Europa leagues but sadly cannot see them sticking with it.

Considine’s comments after the substitution of Wright were interesting. Players obviously don’t agree with tactics. 2nd goal showed what we are capable if players allowed to play. Substitutions/game management made last 20 harder than they needed to be.

Piss poor again. Long ball shite is clearly not working. Watkins looks every inch a winger playing centre forward. Not overly impressed with Red TV so far. Hopefully better 2nd half.

Hoban, Hernandez and Ojo dropped to bench. McGinn and Campbell dropped completely.

As others have said elsewhere another square peg for a round hole. Clearly not the centre forward we need to suit our current style of play. Maybe going to change our style of play?

Currently reading The American Civil War: A Military History by John Keegan. Decent read if you are interested in the subject. Next will be Arnhem by Antony Beevor. Enjoyed his other books on World War II so expecting this to be good as well.
