Scott Brown sacked by Fleetwood. Just in time to get the Hibs job.

No but think he can still go on a development loan to lower league side in Scotland as under 21.

Never got a pie at Musselburgh yesterday as it was to warm a day for hot food. They did issue a programme though and I managed to one off one of the Coldstream committee. Have found that standard of pies at the non league grounds usually far exceeds that of league grounds.

What route you going to Helsinki Al? Just so I know which flights to avoid.

Yesterdays results Only result missing from there was Fort William 1-10 (ten) Clydebank which was an evening kick off. Most games seemed to go to form with the only shocks being Dunipace beating Irvine Meadow and St Andrews beating Haddington who have been flying so far this season. Went to Musselburgh v Coldstream yesterday which despite the scoreline wasn’t a bad game as Coldstream did have chances and on another day might have scored 2 or 3 themselves. Draw for the next round is today when Highland and Lowland league teams come in.

Just seen that. Very surprised no defensive midfielder in if that’s the case.

Departure this time. Good riddance.

Confirmed by club. Another right sided centre back is really odd. Guessing club have decided one of the right sided defenders signed is not up to scratch. Supposedly another still to come.

Frankfurt isn’t that great a city by German standards. I would consider staying elsewhere and training it in on the day and away that night. For example there is a train back to Düsseldorf at 2311 which would be a better base.

From what I have seen of PAOKs games against Hearts I would expect us to lose home and away. Not seen Eintracht this season but if they are anything like as good as they were last season that could be another two defeats potentially heavy ones. Don’t know anything about Helsinki so no idea what they are like.

Back to league business on Sunday against managerless Hibs. Really need to start winning league games as if we lose this on Sunday we will be bottom of the league with Hearts away next. Would expect changes from Thursday to allow player to rotate and rest. Would like to see us go to 4 at the back but not sure Robson will move away from 3. Up front I would be tempted to drop Duk and maybe give Sokler or Gueye a run. In bus then pub Y Pub then bus 2-0 Sokler and Gueye.

Rubi has looked very uncomfortable in it in either centre or right side of a three. McGarry does not look defensively strong enough for the wing back role. He did not track back in either of games I have watched him play. Morris is even worse on the other side. I am not convinced Jensen is comfortable being the left of the 3 either although that may have been because his wing back was offering him no protection. The above of course are early impressions and with time they might learn to play these roles but I remain to be convinced.

Would take that draw although I have been to Gent and Trnava before. Both great places to get pished. Only ever passed through Florence on the train so would be delighted with Fiorentina. Draw back would we would get fucked in all 6 games.

Pretty much agree with all of that other than I think there will be one more in for you to critique today.

Not sure folk aren’t kidding themselves about us being any better off in the conference league. We were defensively poor last night and I am more and more convinced we have signed players who cannot play in a 3-5-2. As Kowalski said we have not played well this season which may improve with time for new players to settle but I am far from convinced.

Initially I was going to say 3 cities I have not been too but having read Rico’s in-depth analysis of his selection I will just go with them and expect to qualify.

New striker confirmed. Hoping this doesn’t mean someone is leaving.

Anderson from Newcastle called up is interesting as I vaguely remember reading he has turned us down in the past. Also looks like Clarke’s views on not picking players not playing in Europe do not extend to the sportswashing league in Saudi.

That was a brutal watch. Far too much reliance in the long ball again. Was clear it was never working from very early on. Hayes struggled again today. McGarry and Jensen need to be decent. Rubi was poor again. Beginning to worry he might not be up to playing at the pace of our league. Hopefully he will get used to it with more game time. Daylight robbery we got a point. Need to be a lot better than this on Thursday.

Polvara must have something on Robson to still be getting a start.

Probably to nobody’s surprise other than his own Lee Johnston emptied by Hibs.

Agree with Rico and Orlando on this. I honestly don’t think VAR has done anything to improve the game especially for those attending matches. Handball rule is an abomination that could only have only been invented by someone who has never played the game.

Apologies for the rotten title but it’s was a rush job to get a thread going as Manc is an idle cunt and Big Al is slumped in the corner of some Greek Taverna looking like a sunburnt Father Jack.
