Celtic, Motherwell, St Johnstone, Caley and Hibs coming in next round along with winner of Dumbarton v Arabs. Hearts should be one of ceded teams.

Through thank fuck.

Vernon and Wylde on for Hayes and Robertson on. 3 at the back?

Hayes off as well now.

Assume Low coming on for Flood.

Squad. Good to McCormack recalled and Anya getting a chance after some decent performances for Watford. If Samson is one 4 best keepers Scotland has then we better pray nothing happens to other 3. Scotland squad: Goalkeepers Matt Gilks (Blackpool) David Marshall (Cardiff City) Allan McGregor (Hull City)* Craig Samson (Kilmarnock) Defenders Ikechi Anya (Watford) Gordon Greer (Brighton and Hove Albion) Grant Hanley (Blackburn Rovers) Alan Hutton (Aston Villa) Russell Martin (Norwich City) Charlie Mulgrew (Celtic) Steven Whittaker (Norwich City) Midfielders Charlie Adam (Stoke City) Barry Bannan (Aston Villa) George Boyd (Hull City) Scott Brown (Celtic) Craig Conway (Cardiff City) Graham Dorrans (West Bromwich Albion) James Forrest (Celtic) James McArthur (Wigan Athletic) James Morrison (West Bromwich Albion) Steven Naismith (Everton) Robert Snodgrass (Norwich City) Forwards Leigh Griffiths (Wolverhampton Wanderers) Jamie Mackie (Nottingham Forest) Shaun Maloney (Wigan Athletic) Ross McCormack (Leeds United) Jordan Rhodes (Blackburn Rovers)

If he is being moved on then I hope a suitable replacement is brought in as the thought of Zola and Magennis as our only two striking options beside McGinn for the season is a frightening one.

Spurs won 5-0 in the end. Looked decent although Tbilisi looked shit.

Decent Spanish Super Cup game between Athletico Madrid and Barca. Currently 1-1.

In. Edit: Helps to remember to order tickets though.

PSV v AC Milan on sky just now. Only just started but looks like being a decent game. Edit: finished 1-1. Really good game. PSV look like having a really good team in future if they can hang on to their players. Milan will give Juve a run for their money this year. Balotelli is still a cheat.

City won 4-0 in the end. City did play well but were helped by fact Newcastle were shite. They were a mess from the start. I know only first game but Newcastle looked like relegation Certs tonight.

Ian Black charged with breaching SFA betting rules.

IN/OOT: In Prematcher: Roseburn Bar asking Manc if he managed to avoid being washed by Mizer Match: Roseburn Stand Post Matcher: Globe Predtiction: 2-0 Dons McGinn

Disappointed with today. Team totally changed the way they played compared to last week. Sat way to deep and allowed the Tims to set the pace of the game. 3 games in and less and less convinced that Zola is a player. Anderson was not good today again. Need Considine back soon. Above said 6 points out of first 3 games that include Tims and Well away is a decent start. If we can go back to the way we played 2nd half against Well at Tynecastle next week I am sure we will get back to winning ways.

We did beat them in last competitive game at Wembley with Don Hutchinson scoring for Scotland. As RS says England could not stand thought of losing last game at Wembley so played Germany and lost again.

Taken off at half time but not sure if hurt or if it was because English winger was ripping him a new arsehole.

Thank fuck I decided against getting off the train and heading to watch that pish. Embarrassing performance.

Did not fall over as much either.

In Town somewhere Section Y Cove v Nairn Aberdeen 1-2 Celtic McGinn

Flood and Jack excellent again today. Hayes also had a good game again. Looking like the Hayes that played for Caley. Once we switched McGinn through the middle at start of the 2nd half he was back to his best. Again not convinced by Zola. As per last week some nice touches but overall not convinced he has what it takes. Wylde looked decent when he came on. Once we went 4-4-2 in 2nd half we looked brilliant. Actually looking forward to next week.

In Train through from Edinburgh Away end somewhere MFC 0 AFC 2 McGinn Train back to Edinburgh

Saints out of Europe on penalties. Another rotten European night for Scotland. At least our game will not get moved now.

Motherwell beaten 1-0 tonight with McManus own goals. Both sides missing penalties during the game. 3-0 aggregate defeat overall for Well. Hopeful players still fucked from this trip come Sunday.

Agree that Linlithgow v Nairn is probably the tie of the round. Some horrible journeys in there as well. Turriff having to go to Selkirk, Edinburgh City travelling to Golspie and Vale having to travel from the borders to Brora as well as Wicks annual mystery tour.
