Really good 2nd half. Girona have bottled it on previous two occasions so was good to see them make it up. 
 

MLS game I am now watching between New York City and Colorado is nowhere near as good. 

The MLS is still shit, isn't it?

St Mirren knocked out of the league cup with one game left to play
St Johnstone seemingly on the brink and Hibs need to make sure they beat Morton tomorrow night

One of commentators on the radio was moaning about these games being played before the league starts. Saying teams are not prepared for start to competitive games so early.

Although mathematically possible for HIVS to go through, there are just too many result outcomes that they need to go their way and it ain't going yo happen

Delightful stuff

Remind me, just what length of contract they gave this Johnson  chap 😉

Their biggest hope is that Falkirk fuck up against Clyde and get a draw. That's not completely unrealistic. 

Imagine Hibs fluke themselves into third best second placed team on Saturday, giving us the opportunity to allow Raith to beat us by a single goal and knock them out?

A draw puts Falkirk through as group winners.

It's ridiculous though. Hibs should be allowed to go out by virtue of being shite at fitba like everyone else.

To be honest, this happens too often and raises a fundamental flaw in the administration of our game in the 21st century. I mentioned this a few years back when some part time outfit were being punished, but it's even more ridiculous now. It shouldn't be possible for Hibs (or Stranraer) to field an ineligible player. A system should be in place whereby you submit your team lines online, that connects to the SPFL database and returns any ineligible player instantly giving the team the opportunity to correct. It's absolutely bullshit that this function doesn't exist. Teams getting thrown out based on admin is completely anti sport. At a time when we're ruining the game with hyper-tech VAR, this simple application is still not available at about 1/1000th of the cost. Admin is not what sport is, and it shouldn't decide the outcome of anything ever. Hibs are a big enough team not to have made the error (although they have had a complete turnover of staff), but Stranraer will have some part time person who maybe wasn't there last season and doesn't know who is suspended. We should be helping clubs and removing these things from the game, it's extremely black or white.

Jesus Christ min, imagine what Scottish football could look like if only intelligent forward thinking people like yourself held the power.

Your ideas will never catch on

Well least not this century 😉 

It'll all get setup ready to go and the Huns will concoct a conspiracy preventing it being implemented.
