Shady Mo on to defend the lead.

What a fucking hit

Nisbet playing well though (typically waits for competition before he bothers his arse), so it'll be interesting to see what happens. He looks a big lad, so might come on for Gueye.

Aye, I noticed that too. I wasn't sure if it was just the camera angle, and he maybe had less space than I thought. Or maybe he didn't feel he had the pace to get away from the man. He can fairly ping the ball if he connects, so I'd like to see him drive and have a shot now and again.

Good half, fairly even stuff with both teams going for it but not giving much up at the back. Nisbet playing well for us. Gueye doing a lot of movement, but touch a problem. Back four all looking good. Keskinen and Okkels not really making the right runs and decisions. A long way to go to get three points.

Yasss. Some ball by Okkels

Who the fuck teaches camera men these days? It's fucking awful. Constant meaningless close ups of players and managers when the ball is in play, or just returning to play. It's horrendous. Who wants any of that guff?

Another fucking tattie field.

Aye, he's been not too bad at all. However, he isn't a sweeper, and Mitov is vital if we want to advance it quickly up the park. I'd give him another week though, he was clearly rushed back too soon last time round.

It's on the 15th, if that helps.

I'd just like to say that I quite like that you've put the date in the thread title. It threw me at first, but it's quite refreshing.

Bring him home

Fucking hell, 35 this year. Fantastic right back for the Dons in his day...

It's a good one like. If I were a young red-shedder, I'd be on it. It fits pretty well with general football songery. Sevco killer (Keskinen) Fa fa fa etc better Run run run run, run run run all day Ohhhhhooo Repeat

It's good that Queens get their big day out after that near banana skin in the last round.

Maybe he just looks small next to Tobers. He didn't look 6ft2 up against their defenders at corners either, maybe they just had big players. We're all good then.

Aye, bobbly shite suits them. Turgid game like. Anyway, I'll take Tims at home in the next round. Get it over and done with.

Both the Paisley and Perth Saints' pitches are considerably worse than a decent plastic surface just now. Makes a mockery of the decision to ban them, the league should be enforcing standards.

Jambos looking like making us wait for the draw with their equaliser. Dicks.

Looked decent at the weekend. Can use his left foot and was comfortable in the ball and read the game well. However, he did seem a little small for an SPFL centre half. Maybe a bit of Richard Jensen about him? In that sort of in-between category, where he's got some good attributes but overall just not quite good enough. It'll be interesting to see, because the strength and height thing is a big issue in our league. Simon Murray will be a good barometer of his abilities.

These types of incident happen all the time. What we were told previously is that if the attacking player isn't getting the ball then it shouldn't be a foul unless it's for violent conduct or some such. Of course, I don't think that is actually written into the rules, just the general advice for refs and VAR officials. The cross was shite, and was squarely on the head of the defender. The Hun would have had to have fouled him to get anywhere near winning that ball. Edit: obviously, they were also given a few extra minutes and a couple of corners after missing the penalty too

It was the most ridiculous penalty ever. That it wasn't overturned was even worse. They don't even pretend.

Facebook is for mentalers

Aye, my doubts around Marshall are his pace, and obviously he's not physically robust enough yet. Looks like he can play fitba.

We're giving our opinion on a new player, it's nothing to get concerned about. We've all been wrong before and I'll happily be wrong again. It's kind of the point of football forum to give initial thoughts and predictions. Nobody is booing the lad or telling him to fuck off back to Scandinavia. The point I was making is that I don't think he can play multiple positions at all. We've not signed a utility player, we've signed a right back. He was poor at left back, just as Dorrington is poor at left centre half, because it's not his position. It's like me putting waiter on my CV because I was one decades ago. Devlin has played across the back for us (about ten minutes at left back), and could be better called a utility player, as could MacKenzie. At most, then, Jensen can play two positions, and one of them poorly. Also, he hasn't really been attacking or getting up and down in any of the games. Today, his starting position was always very high because we were playing a poor team, and he rarely got beyond the winger (annoyingly he did when Morris came on, blocking his one trick!). That, for me, is the area that we'll likely get the most gains in with him. As you say, he's had a season and is getting up to speed. I think if he can really get up and down the park then we will have a much better player on our hands. That should be more than manageable. He's a neat and tidy player otherwise, he has the technical side sorted, and he hasn't had any time to develop a relationship with Keskinen or Morris.
