Probably lucky to be 0-0. Think Mitov got away with one there.

Surely it’s more the contacts in your two heads of recruitment’s black books we are going to be relying on not the DoF’s book of penguin pick up joints. Yeah think I have sort of accepted we are just going to have to shitfest our way to January with squad deficiencies we have. In January we need to get in players in to allow us to create more chances and be a bit easier on the eye.

You can score from set pieces? Has anyone revealed this to our players and coaching staff.

From games I watched Milanovic play in ALeague he was alway played as an inverted winger. Got to think he was recruited to play that system. Cannot see Thelin changing that and putting him on opposite side. As an aside I am surprised we stuck with the inverted wingers as thought it was obvious last season it didn’t work in Scotland as most teams pack the middle of the park in our league so when the inverted wingers cut inside they are running into traffic.

FIFA to do another live broadcast on the 6th December at 5pm to confirm when and where games in each group will be played. Fully expect the match schedule to be set up to give “big” teams easiest schedule possible.

Fully expect this to be another hard watch. We have definitely become more defensively sound of late but are creating very few chances at the other end. St Mirren are struggling for league form and as has been said above probably got one eye on upcoming league cup final. Can see them coming to sit in and hope we make a mistake. Not going to attempt to guess line up after Sunday as what JT will come up with is anyone’s guess other than it will be 1 up front. Work at the moment means no chance of getting up the road for this. Game is available on pay per view in UK for those not able to attend. Oot Work Couch Couch 1-0 Karlsson

That finished 2-2. Newcastle’s 2nd was another farce of a VAR decision. Spurs getting a draw with 2 shots 2 goals.

Finished 4-5 to Man City. On to Newcastle v Spurs game now.

Wild game at Craven Cottage between Fulham and Man City. Man City were 1-5 up but now been pegged back to 4-5.

I think loan system should only ever be when we have the option to buy agreed with the parent club. If that’s not then would rather we gave game time to our own young player than develop a player for someone else.

Hampden to be renamed Barclays Hampden. Not sure engaging with a sponsor who has a bit of political baggage in some quarters is the wisest of moves.

Would think that’s a certainty.

Watching the highlights from yesterday the Tribute Act do not look any better than they did under Martin. Shame we are not playing them until after the window opens and they get chance to bring in new players.

Will take the three points but by fuck we are terrible to watch. Might be tomorrow before I warm up.

Home draw against lower league opposition will take that.

Sadly that Meadowbank stadium has gone and been replaced by a horrible plastic pitch with a bus shelter.

It’s on the list of stadiums to visit if I ever win the lottery.

Finished 1-0 to Flamengo. Unusually for a Libertadores final there was actually some football played. Stadium in Lima looked amazing in a stunning setting.

John Rankin resigns at Hamilton. Press claiming Rankin has resigned as wages not been paid again. Think Hamilton are fucked.

Libertadores final was a bit sedate but starting to revert to type with a couple of nasty challenges one of which would have been a red card in Europe.

Sold. Make it so.

Spurs being Spurs and losing 2-0 at home to Fulham.

Hate going to Livingston. Completely soulless place. Pubs are pish and train stations are miles from ground and centre. Add to that my 11 year old is insisting we take her shopping before hand. I really hate going to Livingston. Really need to be winning this one. As I have said for a few weeks now would really like us to try Lazetic and Nisbet as a two as when they play as lone strikers they look isolated from midfield. Do we go back to 4 at the back for this one? Next 4 league games are against 4 teams below us. Really need to be taking maximum points to get us up the league. In train then pub away end hike back to train 2-0 Nisbet and Lazetic
