Just think, we're only a few injuries from seeing Nicky Devlin on the big stage

Fuck that, make the Hun stay. Some players played their best ever games for Scotland tonight. Ferguson, McGinn, McKenna, McTominay just brilliant, and Gordon was fantastic too, I really hope he's guaranteed a squad place.

Hopefully Shankland goes on a three day bender.

That was something else. Second best game of 2025. Phenomenal.

Great half, well played. Keeping shape after losing Gannon-Doak was key, and they managed it. McGinn, Ferguson, Robertson and the back two playing well. McTominay just insane.

He's got six months left on his contract. His agent will be ensuring that any interest, perceived or otherwise, will be broadcast as far and wide as possible.

You honestly think that the Yanks aren't all over Donstalk? Fairly certain that there's a couple of CIA lads in the latest AbMad intake.

Someone's not getting through border control if we do qualify.

I do... David Watson. Two others.

And were they?

Aye. Both Sweden and the Italians are shite just now, so wouldn't be as bad as a couple of the alternatives. Not that it matters, as I concocted a little plan to take down the Danes by sneezing into their chips.

We might not know, as fans, but you'd like to think that the manager will. There's a reason Kjartansson hasn't been given a run out whilst the rest of our midfield is struggling, and a reason he wasn't in the European squad. He's only 19, and there isn't a huge rush if he isn't ready. I don't believe that Marshall or Kjartansson should be starting for us, but we need to make room in the squad for them to get minutes (or send Kjartansson on loan if he's not there yet). It's still a big step up from Arbroath to Aberdeen, and it wouldn't surprise me if Marshall didn't have the required athleticism to make it at the higher level. The biggest problem that both would face is that JT hasn't got the slightest clue what our best midfield setup is anyway. Shoehorning Marshall into that horrific 3-4-3 at right forward would do the guy no favours, and he doesn't look to have the legs to play box to box. Which is our biggest problem with these two young lads. The role we are looking for is a guy that is athletic and can cover lots of ground. They'll suffer if we don't get that player.

I thought Souttar was suspended for Tuesday? Or was that just something I'd dreamed. Obviously, Clarke would still take the opportunity to play Hanley on his wrong foot. Anyway, a great result, never in doubt. Nice one Belarus.

Been done to death, my thoughts on Hanley, but we simply can't afford to have him on his wrong foot without the out-ball of Dykes. A moderately competent manager will see to it that Robertson is forced to play two yards away from him by pressing him on the ball. We don't even have Gilmour for a quick pass into midfield either. Make a point of watching Hanley on the ball tonight and see how he either takes a touch to get it on his right first, or plays the ten yarder to an unnecessarily deep Robertson.

Jesus loved snow, which you'd know if you'd paid attention at school.
