I thought Fletcher was more like McLean or Ferguson. Moved the ball predictably and safely, without attempting any difficult through balls or taking risks. Miller played an entire season for Motherwell lying deep, moving the ball quickly and setting the tone of the team, just like Gilmour does, but for some reason everyone thinks he's an attacking midfielder (which he's capable of too). He's similar to Clarkson for us. Obviously, I've seen very little of Fletcher, and he looked good, just similar to what we've already got. He did make some good runs into the box though.

Just had a wee look at Ronans stats there. What's interesting to me, especially given the perception some have about Robinsons style of play being a bit hoofball, is that his time at St Mirren was by a mile his most productive from an attacking sense. Was fond of a worldie from outside the box if memory serves too so I would be quite open to signing Ronan 2bh.

Livingston appoint Glenn Whelan.

Shows what I know Spurs win series 4-3 to progress to final. Knicks easily beat Cavaliers 4-0 so are going into final rested.

I can understand why people are saying "why not Lennon Miller?" but from what little I saw of Fletcher last night he looked far more a Gilmour type player than Miller.

Ah, correct decision if you ask me. People said t the start of last season that if they managed to sign Isak then they would be untouchable yet they have finished 25 points off the top of the league. Slot has just eroded everything that was good in that Liverpool side. Liverpool are a shadow of the team they were under Klopp. The dutch way of passing teams into a slow death reminds me of Van Gaal at Man Utd. Slot's reign had a similar pattern to Thelin at the Dons in that the further on in time things went, with him able to stamp his style on the team and get his players in, the worse they became.

Only last week Slot was told to start process of getting in a new coach to add to the back room staff so this seems not to have been something that was on the cards. SSN suggesting that new Sporting Director Richard Hughes who has come in from Bournemouth is man who has made the decision and is looking to appoint out going Bournemouth coach Iraola.

Just seen that on SSN. Bit surprised by that.

It's Fletcher

Think it’s difficult to read to much into Fletcher or Curtis’s performances yesterday due to red card. For replacement for Gilmour I think it has to be Lennon Miller. Fletcher not playing enough first team games to warrant getting to a World Cup.

Is the essay readily available? I haven’t checked yet but will seek it out if so. Don’t mind reading the ramblings of former leader, but will likely run out of time and stick with the newsagents it still amazes me how many people hold the US in such high regard when all the evidence points to the contrary. But your point re validation of the Iraq war makes sense of that. currently I can only relate to my current circumstances, but despite NZ having stronger economic ties with China, we appear (current muppets in power), to be chasing the yank dollar and approval. To the point of wrecking the country for the sake of a few minerals. It just doesn’t make sense.

Sadly he is at Sheffield United so well outside our price range. Thought he looked a really good player yesterday. Doubt he will be at Sheffield much longer.

Was that the Madueke one? Yeah, never a pen. As you say, Madueke hooks his arm around and pulls the PSG player on top of him who then falls into him making it look a foul.

Agree with this. BGD is great when he’s on it but has no end product and he’s been poor recently. I like Curtis, he likes to take on defenders like Gannon-Doak does but he’s more of a ball carrier and has a finish. Playing one of them also allows us to play 2 up front in first game.

Has to be Miller. He's the only one who replaces Gilmour's ability to move the ball quickly and will try the passes the others won't. Fletcher looked decent, but doesn't offer anything we don't already have in abundance (based only on yesterday). Similarly Barron and Irving.

I think we look a better team with Gilmour in it so bit of a blow him being out. Clarke has said three players on stand by are Lennon Miller, Andy Irving and Barron.

Apparently he could ‘no longer stay silent’ and has written a 5000 word essay on what’s going wrong with the Labour government. His analysis was actually pretty spot on but his ideas are not so. His blend of market economics and social provision seems to have shifted a little further towards a Reagonomics/Thatcher-lite approach and his foreign policy ideas of do whatever US say is frankly mental. He is still sounding like he is seeking validation or justification for his stance on Iraq, all these years later. If you can’t be arsed reading the essay there is a decent interview with The News Agents pod but it’s pretty much a bend over and let the market and the US ride you senseless kinda deal.

Who actually asked for his opinion, why is he even being asked for it? Absolute troglodyte.

Well I guess the point is that it's a carcinogenic material, which is exactly what asbestos is. Whilst, yes, if snapping a tile etc the content is low, it still exists. Over here, since the ban in aussie, plenty have changed choices and refuse to specify it purely because a) we don't know if it's actually been made properly or b) there is a stigma associated to it now. Given the tories have been around for so long in the UK, i'm not surprised it's not been picked up on. There are better products that are not made with silica, so not an issue if it is banned from my perspective.

I actually love this. @tlg1903 can we make this happen please?
