So first game of the season! Can't believe it's come around so soon.

 

In/Out: Out

Pre match: Visiting the family

Match: Hopefully listening to the game

Post Match: Dinner

Prediction: Aberdeen win.

 

Not sure how we're going to line up for this one, maybe we'll get a better understanding after the Villareal game.

 

I also see that this is going to be shown on BBC Alba on saturday.

 

 

I see this is the BBC Alba match

 

Has anyone ever spent the day avoiding the score just so you can watch the game as if it is live  in Glorious Gaelic?

 

I did it for the last game at Fir Park when Vujadinovic scored.

I've tried, but mates always manage to ruin it for me. Typical old firm bastards.

 

In/Oot: out

Pre match: At Work

Match: At Work

Post Match: At Work (then perhaps watching it on Alba if I can resist checking the score)

Prediction: 1-0 Aberdeen

How can they be digging up Market St again? 

See St Johnstone have signed Cillian Sheridan and are hoping to have clearance to play him on Saturday.

We will have wir star flair striker signed up by then plus our solid defence will sort our Sheridan. ;-)

follys in the squad 

Avoided the score a few times to watch the BBC Alba games, couple Tuesday/Wednesday night games and a couple on Saturday....  If you can pull it off and avoid the score then it is worth it, it does feel like watching it live. Problems are avoiding the score and also avoiding things like Soccer Saturday, certain websites, I've even not opened a text from a mate just incase. The commentary itself isnt that bad, it sorta drifts into the backgroud like most commentary

Good to see folly in the squad, but surely a miss print? I didn't think he was due back for a while yet?

 

Anyway, COYR!!!

 

In/Oot: in

Post Match: nae sure yet, depends on the result

Prediction: 2-1 to us

Gonzalez, Foster, Considine, Milsom, Vernon, Mackie, Pawlett, Osbourne, Fyvie, Jack

 

Subs: Brown, Arnason, Paton, Magennis, Megginson, Low, Grimmer

Come on you redsssssss  :ultras:

Here we goooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Business as usual then 

 

From what I saw, we definitely need a striker and a winger.

 

Still at least we didn't kick off with a loss and look a lot more solid at the back. 

We couldn't score in a brothel.

 

Can we be the first ever team to finish on 0 goals?

Different season but same old shit. Utterly impotent up front.

Was it a red card? Sounded like we played well and created chances, just could not put them away.

I joined the stream just after the event, and they were saying (as well as BBC) that it was a harsh red. Though Topcorner thought his foot was quite far off the ground...guess we'll have to wait for Alba's replays.

Craig Brown saying his initial reaction was wrong decision, but having seen it again whilst not malicious, by the letter of the law the ref got it right

Gutted I couldn't get to the game, but watched it on Alba instead.

 

As everyone else says, we need a striker.

 

Definately a red. Was late and studs were showing
