I was on Flixbus between Perth and Dundee when it got called off. Got off at Dundee booked anothrer bus back to Glasgow went for a couple of pints in Trades Bar and bumped into a Motherwell fan i knew. Unsurprisingly he can't wait for Saturday.

Heard yesterday early afternoon it was this fellow from St. Etienne.

Aye, saw the rumours he was spotted in Aberdeen last night. Would be odd in that he's literally just been sacked a few days ago by St Ettiene. So does that mean we've sat waiting for him to get sacked, or changed our mind from who we were going to appoint to him when he became available? Nilsen was his captain at Brann. Maybe that's why he didn't leave in the January transfer window...

Heard a rumour it could be this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eirik_Horneland

Toonser 1: “Ye’re lookin affa glum, min. Fit’s worst wi ye?” Toonser 2: “I found a pey pucket wi a thoosan poun in it”. Toonser 1: “So fit wye are ye nearly greetin?” Toonser 2: “Jist tak a look at hoo much tax ah’ve hid to pey.”

Das mountainbike?

The only thing giving me a bit of hope these days mate would be Eddy fkn Grant

If we did, I'd be more worried about our pitch being able to cope with more Callum McGregor tears. Fuck the lot of them.

I’m pretty confident of putting Motherwell out. Fuck knows why. I didn’t get into the business of supporting Aberdeen to be afraid of a Motherwell fixture though

Can't make the 18th. FFS

That's the spirit BUS! The cup is the one thing still giving me a bit of hope at the moment, AFC wise.

whatever date and time this game eventually goes ahead it is safe to say "here endeth our defence of the scottish cup"

Whoever comes in has to hit the ground running. Our dour support will not tolerate much more on the pitch shitshows and who could blame them. Unlike other clubs, our dour support still turn up in numbers, both home and away. It's maybe easier if you play in front of one man and his dog. Bring it on.

*Beyond him. I should get a proofreader. I mean, I wasn't literally claiming Andreas Hinkel was the German Stephen Glass. Point of order: Glass also played for Newcastle, and he was at Shamrock for two years, not nine. Also, Glass reached the heights by playing for the Dons, min. All irrelevant but I had to scratch that itch. Yes, and as someone in my 40s I'd strongly argue that is still very young. His best years (and mine) are still ahead of him. That makes them best pals in my book. And if it falls through, Robbie Neilson is still available.

I think that’s not quite accurate, as much as it’s prob tongue in cheek, 9 years as asst at shamrock rovers and Atlanta utd vs 13 yrs as asst at stuttgart, leipzig, spartak, and currently asst with the Belgium national team since 2023. 1 cap for Scotland vs 21 for Germany, watford dunfermline and hibs vs Celtic stuttgart and Sevilla. Played champions league, won the eufa cup and super cup. Obviously guarantees nothing, doesn’t mean this makes a good coach/manager. he’s 43, good age, coaching experience, obviously German like lutz, possibly knows lutz, and knows Scottish football to an extent. not ideal but enough intrigue from me. Much more appealing than a lambert, Lennon, or Billy Davies! plus his last name isn’t Robinson so that’s a plus. Definitely a lot of uncertainty around the club at present, but like you said, def learned from the glass experience, and we do have the structures in place to provide greater support.

The German Stephen Glass? Except perhaps this time we'd have the set up at the club that Glass should have had. You know what, it'd be interesting, I wouldn't be against it. Obviously has no managerial record to speak of, but 12 years coaching and being in the dugout isn't a lack of experience really. And if he's head coach rather than overall manager, then it's not really a step up that should be behind him. Didn't realise he had retired so young (29/30). I do remember him being a very capable right back for Celtic. Won 21 caps for Germany too which ain't bad going.

Santos with a goal just before half time. Don’t think I will be awake for 2nd half.

With VAR checks and cooling breaks this first half is almost a cure for insomnia.

Ooh I cannot wait for the wine and now got tickets for the figure skating too so absolutely buzzing

Santos v São Paulo on Premier Sports at 11pm for any insomniacs

Saw one guy on twitter claiming sky sports were showing an ai edited video of the ball not bouncing. Can you imagine the seethe if we win it when it's finally played?

Looks like he was manager of Stuttgart B in German 3 division a few years ago but an assistant rest of the time. Be an odd one if it is him as hardly screams experienced.

Guess falls into interesting but high risk category- could be a breath of fresh air and between him and Lutz overhaul the club structure- or will be a spectacular failure and both will get their jotters Strap in folks
