Trip to deepest darkest Ayrshire on a cold Sunday morning in November. Cannot wait. We will need to improve massively on our last 2 performances if we are to get anything from this as Killie look a more solid outfit under Clarke. Would think that GMS has earned himself an extended spell on the bench with hopefully Wright being given the nod to replace him. Shinnie being back will also hopefully improve things. Would be tempted to play him at left back and go for a middle two in midfield of O'Connor and McLean in an old fashioned 4-4-2 with Rooney and May as the strikers. No idea how we actually will play. In Train Away end Train back to the capital 1-0 May

4th round draw Scottish Cup Draw Dunfermline v Morton Ayr v Arbroath Albion v St J M'well v Hamilton Hearts v Hibs Livingston v Falkirk Dundee v ICT Formartine v Cove Montrose/QOS v Partick Celtic v Brechin Peterhead v Dumbarton East Fife v Brora Alloa v Dundee Utd Fraserburgh v Rangers Aberdeen v St Mirren Killie v Ross County

Its alright he will get the Scotland Job when West Brom appoint Michael O'Neill.

Tony Pulis punted by West Brom. Would think McInnes maybe on their radar. Bit more concerned by this than I am by him going to Tribute Act. Got to think Michael O'Neill will be another on their radar so wonder where SFA will go next. Big Eck looking more and more likely.

Being very harsh on Rooney there. He is not the problem. It is lack of service from midfield that is the issue. Today not one of the midfield 5 should get pass marks. Extremely light weight and not one worth the shirt. Anyone of them could have been subbed at half time as they contributed nothing. Two very alarming performances in a row now. McInnes needs to get things sorted quickly. McGinn would walk into this team if he was to come back.

Never thought I would see the words enjoying and can of Kestrel in the same sentence. Got to be one of the worst beers I have ever drank.

Thanks for bringing back that suppressed painful childhood memory. 78 World Cup was first one I can remember watching.

Hopefully team have used the international break to refocus and we see a marked improvement on the drivel they served up at Accies last time out. If everyone is fit I would go back to team that beat Saint Johnstone 3-0. In Archie's no travel as in Aberdeen just now. Y Archie's then train back to Capital 2-0 Rooney and May

Would take him back in a heart beat. Much better player than our current wingers. Going forward and defensively.

Peru win 2-0 to qualify for first World Cup in 35 years.

SSN have claimed Scotland have approached Michael O'Neill about the managers position.

Enjoyable watching Irish take an absolute kicking tonight. Completely out played by Denmark.

Lee Richardson's goal against Torino was first thing that popped into my head on reading the question. No idea why.

Csaba Laszlo (ex Hearts manager) to be appointed at Arabs. He did okay on his first season at Hearts from memory.

West Ham appoint Moyes until the end of the season to replace Bilic.

Confirmed now.

Match of the Day suggesting Bilic has been sacked.

Poor performance today. Lucky to escape with a point in the end. Not sure players knew/understood system they were supposed to be playing. Lost count of the number of times players either left the ball to each other or went for the same ball. Looked better when Rooney came on as attack had a focal point. I hate games at Hamilton.

So will it be manger less Aberdeen against the Accies on Saturday or a team boosted by McInnes telling the Tribute Act to get to fuck. If he is around would expect him to go with the the same team that started against County. Expect Accies to do as they always do on that abortion of pitch and try to shitfest their way to a 1-0 win. In Train then straight to the ground as got daughter with me. Away end. Train back to the Capital 2-0 May and Christie

Allerdyce would be my bet.

That's mental.

Saw Miko Virtanen play as a trialist against Hearts a few weeks back. Looked decent and think he will be a good addition to development squad.

More chance of you winning another Olympic Diving medal than Christie signing.

A McGregor, Anya, Hanley, Whittaker, Bannan, McArthur, Morrison, Ritchie, Snodgrass, S Fletcher, C Martin all missing from last squad. Surprised at Ritchie missing out as he is playing well at Newcastle (punishment for withdrawing from the last squad maybe) but the rest I am fine with especially Bannan.
