Enjoy watching Wembanyana at Spurs, Jokic at Denver and Doncic even though he is at the Lakers. Seems to be a few teams in rebuild mode this season and possibly tanking for draft positions. Something that I don’t like in US sport. See in in the Hockey and NFL as well.

Finished 3-0 to River which was about right on the balance of play. Corinthians v Internacional on now on Premier Sport 2. Been shite so far with no shots on target after 35 minutes. Don’t think I am going to stick this out.

I watched it in Scotland in the late 80s I think, we started to get nba games on Chanel 4 maybe? Got here in 95 so got the end of Jordan, Pippen, and the bulls, the Houston team, Knicks and Ewing etc., Barkley, basically when it was better bball. Now it’s a little soft, diff type of game, but entertaining all the same. golden state were fun with Klay and Curry in their prime, it’s the thunder and spurs that are top dogs these days, good young players.

Scott Burns article end of March quoting Robinson saying he might be back for last few games.

Last I saw from club was that Knoester was waiting for all clear from medical team but they were hopeful he might be back for last 3 or 4 games. Been no update on him since that I have seen.

1-0 River at half time. River the better team and probably should be further ahead.

I thought that Knoester was out for the remainder of the season and that Devlin might be available for the last couple of games.

I watch a bit of NBA and been to Golden State games a few times in the old stadium in Oakland and once in new stadium in San Francisco. Got into it watching Larry Birds’s Boston team in 80s. More recently been lucky enough to see Warrior team with Steph Curry and Clay Thompson but Warriors this season have been poor and Steph isn’t getting any younger.

Is that you hoping, or word on the street he is??

Craig Brown, the guy who after Rory Fallon scored a wonder goal and we were all over Hibs, decided to bring on Mackie to get us a winner., that guy?. I was at school with both Martin and George (a year behind Martin (light years in fitba terms). Not at all surprised he walked out on CBs tutorial as he didn't suffer fools gladly (as can be confirmed when he slapped Gordon Hill during a game for not following his instructions)... he'd probably have been given a red card nowadays.

River Plate v Belgrano on Premier Sport just now. 0-0 after 15 minutes. Pitch will set @RicoS321 off on one of his rants on the benefits of plastic carpets. .

Hopefully Mats Knoester back for the post-split fixtures.

You’d have been impressed with Keith when Allan Hale was the gaffer. At opposition corners, he’d put our main striker Mikey Ewen in the centre circle, and two wide players on the halfway line the width of the pitch apart. It spooked opposition managers and players and it was quite successful in both leaving the defending to defenders, and keeping hairy-arsed ex-convict delinquent defenders out of our box.

The Aberdeen Lassies are proving that they're just like the men by hurtling towards the relegation play-offs.

Assume Robinson hasn’t binned the zonal approach at set pieces?

Reluctantly agree with this. Be really hard to play through at the very least. We are going to have to tough this out, we don’t look capable of stopping the bleeding with set pieces but our real problem is that we aren’t scoring goals. As chaotic as Olusanya looks, he seems the most likely to make something happen, even if it’s just by dragging defences around and creating space for Nisbet. It’s a pity we can’t find a place for Topi but he might just have to be a last 20mins weapon.

I think we’ve created a perfect storm in our recruitment this season. Too many technical players with no dig, too many CBs who can supposedly play out but can’t jump, too many wingers designed to ‘cut in’, too many young projects to optimise player trading, too many ‘they were fucking brilliant when they were 18 so they must be good even though they’ve been shite for the last 6 years’, too many loans or temporary contracts who don’t give a fuck. Did I miss any of the absolute shit show of a recruitment strategy that sees us utterly devoid of any structure, belief or confidence?

3 managers this season now and none of them have managed to get a tune out of this lot. It’s clearly the players that are the issue, and by default the horrific recruitment. Not a single even half decent signing last summer, not one. Its actually pretty remarkable. Your point about Robinson not having a squad here suited to his style is why I had serious reservations about him as our manager, and its playing out as feared so far. We probably need 2 wins from the last 6 to guarantee being safe given goal difference, maybe 2 wins and a draw. We’ve got 4 home games too, but is anyone confident this lot can achieve that? No, me neither…

I know we’ve got no choice, but the fact we’re having to rely on Milne, Morrison & Molloy as the defence to get us out of the shit gives me the fear. Not the only issue we have of course, but they’re nowhere near up to it i’m afraid. Our best hope is the fact we should have 4 home games out of the remaining 6, and the 2 away games should be Dundee, where we’ve got a pretty decent record actually, & Livi who are probably as bad as us & may well be down by the time we play them. Its not much, but its something…

Rick Astley sent off for Dundee. He let them down. After promising he never would.

Saints v septic twice in the next 2 weeks...win for the latter next week and a Saints win in the semi so they are more concerned about another cup final post-split would suit.

True. Must’ve been class having your best mates uncle running the SFA

2-1 to the away team. That's good news for us.

And yet only one of them managed Scotland.
