Deportivo Riestra v Boca Juniors on premier sports just now. Riestra 3-0 up at half time. Boca been all over the place at the back and clearly struggling after playing their Sudamericana tie against the brilliantly name OHiggins on Friday.

Saw this t shirt It’s factually correct

Need all the money they can to help keep them going I'm guessing. Not the the GFA, I mean, SFA, favour them or anything like that.

I read that barring the semis and the final, its been five years since they last got an away tie in the cup. No idea if true, but mental if so.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Guess the huns mk2 are just confused if they're the same club who used to be successful, or the new club, which are a laughing stock. Hearts, well, they've got the sixes.

Huns got a home draw? Nah!

Looks like he’s turned them down.

Lana Del Rey - Ride

Cruzeiro v Botafogo just started on premier sport.

One of the toughest draws we could get but at least we are at home

Full draw for second round.

U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

We play them the week before at Dens.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Swimming Horses

Dundee at home will do for me. We will have competitive league games first so ready for it

With dunfermline winning today we finish as best team of the group stage. Most points, best goal difference. Only Ayr also won all 4 matches. Obviously this is the expectation given the size of our club relative to everyone else in the group stage and especially when we are not expected to play another top flight side. That said there's no harm in taking a little satisfaction.

Depends on how you determine decent. Jack Grimmer has had a decent career in the lower English leagues, Dean Campbell too. Michael Rose plys his trade down south and Phil Macguire did fine down south too. None in the EPL, although Calvin Ramsey played for Liverpool yesterday and got an assist and Fletcher Boyd is apparently doing well at Villa. Fair play to any of them for making a decent career out of the game.

Its a point of principal for me. I have absolutely no interest in paying £8 a pint for shite lager, but I’m an adult and I should have the option if I want it. As Rico says, most games go off without a hitch so there’s really no reason to treat us all like untrustworthy toddlers. Its the arse cheeks you can’t trust and who spoil it for everyone else, so keep the booze away from those arseholes & leave the grown ups to get on with it…

I may be missing an obvious one, but I can't think of any youngster who has left Aberdeen in recent years and gone on to have a decent career. Calvin Ramsay has been unlucky with injuries and a change of management at Liverpool, but would he be a first choice player at Anfield if things had worked out better?

It's life changing money, usually over £5k per week, for most. Know of a loon that just moved south, on £6k per week. 16 years old! The scary part of it all, is that it's loose change to clubs down south. No matter how well you bring your kids up, to support your team, you are not telling them to say no to that kind of money. Stay at the Dons, where you are equally as unlikely to make the grade, or get a sniff of the first team, but be financially worse off at the end of it. I believe they offer better aftercare, for want of a better word, if they fail to make the grade down south too.

I assume the pregame and training kits will eventually be able to buy? And are we two kits this season, simply home and away??

If you’re talking both deluded and thick, Dundee Utd fans are the benchmark

Some updates following the test on Saturday: The pulsing red box when the match is underway has been removed and will only show the • Live badge When a goal is scored the match card will pulse green and show the goalscorer (hopefully!) For each team it will show each goalscorer under the team name. (see pic below) If a yellow or red card is issued, the score card will flash yellow or red and show the player's name The Scottish Challenge Cup, English Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Champions, Europa and Conference Leagues have been added. The scores will now update every 15 seconds instead of every 30 seconds.

Totally agree, but not much can be done about that Think the reduction in minimum playing age is to allow them the chance to experience first team football in the hope that some might think they are better to develop and play competitive football for two or three years before moving. The above could also work in Scottish clubs favour as potentially higher fees for them. Although not a to England transfer I would strongly suggest Motherwell would not have got the fee for Lennon Miller if he had moved as a sixteen year old instead of having two full seasons as a first team player with them. Regardless, I guess there will be no hard and fast outcome and some will see the benefit of staying put to develop and others will chase the readies at the first opportunity. Some might make it, but others will continue to be chewed up and spat out by bigger clubs whilst having the consolation of a bulging Bank balance.

I suspect the large wage increase has more to do with young players heading down South rather than limited game time.
