On BBC alba for those with a telly.

Is there any truth in the rumour that Nilsen was in the crowd at today's game?

And it's English pish.

Yep, a reasonable question. There's a lot of conflating "seeking to explain", with "justification" when these types of incidents occur. It's completely acceptable to try and understand why something occurred, whilst also maintaining that it is entirely unjustifiable (which you are doing). I asked the question about booze, because every time I've been to tannadice, it's been riddled with folk completely fucked, and it's the second time that throwing incidents have occurred. It's also correct to point out that had the pitch invasion not happened, the chair throwing wouldn't, Utd will have a degree of liability here and will probably get fined. Again, it's not an excuse, or justification, just evidence. As @Slim points out, they were teenage kids that were goading the Dons fans, it could have caused some serious damage. It takes a serious idiot to launch a chair at a crowd of people.

Can you eat them?

He seemed to be putting in a decent shift in the opening 30 minutes. However, I'd bow to @Jute on this one, as numerous times I've come back from a game thinking Gueye was a disgrace, but others on here have seen differently. A lot of what he doesn't do is hard to spot on telly, it's his off the ball work that it usually lamentable. I'd rather he wasn't here next season. I can't be doing with players like him and Duk who pick and choose when they perform and are poor team players. Waste of a shirt.

That's fucking mental. There are a significant minority of absolute cunts in our support, and they show themselves when away from home. Does the local boozer still give out a box of 24 beers to any customer willing to pay? Reckon a bit more can be done pre-match in Dundee to weed out some of the worst fuckers. Hopefully the individual will be forced to watch the last four games on repeat, in a cell, for two years.

Fucking fuck me.

Changes after the goals. Fucking criminal.

Need to get Palaversa off too.

Never a pen, he fell over.

Need a sub. Morris for Gueye or Polvara for Gueye. Edit: nah, we wait until they score, as always.

Yep, he was working really hard for the first half hour, then he's regressed. He had absolutely zero idea what to do when Clarkson put him through. Another beautiful ball from Clarkson to Nisbet there too, should be scoring.

Decent half. Dominated for 35 minutes or so. Working hard, and Clarkson running things again. A really good goal too, a fantastic ball from Clarkson and a great cross from Shinnie, before a nice cutback from Jensen (Devlin would have smashed it into the top corner).

He's doing alright, hit the bar. He's pulling into the centre when they've got it and then moving wide when we have it. The whole team is working hard.

Can't get a working stream either. Text updates... Edit: working now

New strip. Bad omen.

Can't wait to listen to this one on the radio.

Have we done that yet this season?

I suspect both those sides were involved in the self preservation of the plastic pitch rule change and so karma will perhaps prevail. It doesn't bother me significantly either way. I would like Martindale to succeed though. I don't particularly like the guy, but I like what he's done and I find it intriguing that he hasn't had a bigger job.

It's a difficult subject, I'm not sure there's a good answer. I agree with @Jute that it will always tend towards scope creep - a bit like VAR, but not as important. It's the concept of playing God that I find the most intriguing. We've stripped the earth bare, dropped nuclear bombs, sprayed indiscriminate chemicals across the planet. The entire concept of civilisation is based on playing God (or the work of the gods, at least). On a daily basis, we decide that not only can we dictate the entire lives of the animals we eat, but we destroy any animal that might also want to eat them, or the food that they eat. Every single city, town and village is designed around the concept that humans are separate from (or higher than) nature and subject to none of its laws. We are, for all intents and purposes, within this system of ours, God. We can decide how every other animal dies, but when it comes to another human, it's playing God. That's a fucking bizarre God. Euthanasia is a logical conclusion to our system. It's good for economic growth. Probably.

Finished 2-0 (4-0). That's going to be a tough game for County or Dundee (I'm guessing the former). Livingston are good, and they're fit too, with two or three on the bench that can do a job.

2-0 now. Dandies legend Stevie May with a lovely lob.

Livingston looking certain to win, 1-0 up.

Aye, I hadn't considered that. In all honesty, they'd probably enjoy getting the plague. Imagine the victim story that they could build out of that?
