In the interests of not starting a new thread I was looking into how some of our more recent departures are getting on this season: Marco Lazetic at Noah: 13 games, 10 goals, 3 assists. Leighton Clarkson at Blackpool: 11 games, 1 goal, 1 assist. Think he is normally on the bench. Topi Keskinen at Odense: 10 games, 2 goals. Oday Dabbagh at Zamalek: 8 games, 3 assists, 0 goals Ester Sokler at Macabi Tel Aviv: 7 games, 2 goals

To start with don’t think most even knew there was a VAR review. Ref just seemed to run off pitch. There was a bit of cheer when it was awarded but it was guess work to what it was awarded for.

Jackson Brown - Running On Empty

That's pretty grim reading all round. We lost about a quarter of the net asset value of the club last season due a combination of staff overspending, infrastructure commitments, and poor results, despite figures being heavily propped up by euro money and improved commercials/investment off the field. Euro cash wont be around this year to offset losses, so no wonder we have sold everyone and replaced them with presumably cheaper free transfers (so much for "invest heavily in the first team squad"). Staff overspending (robinson et al payoff), infrastructure commitments, and poor results remain a problem, so also not a surprise Cormack is talking about the need for a further cash injection to stabilise things. Happe days.

Depends on the level of support and how secure it is at the back

Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin'

The KLF - Last Train To Transcentral

I had to look him up to check he was our one and not the Livi lad.

There is definitely a case to be made for a pen to be given. As is usually the case with these things, the VAR team look at all replays until they find the one that shows it was a penalty, discarding all the replays they've decided don't. It's a ludicrously flawed system. We clearly can't use VAR replays for offside because of the parallax problem, but that seemingly disappears for all other calls. Anyway, the notion that we should be overturning calls like those is for idiots. Of course, the most egregious issue was that it took more than a minute to make the call, and had McGinn had better decision making, we'd already have scored. Obviously it's significantly worse for fans inside the ground. What was the reaction to the pen? I didn't hear much cheering on the telly. My reaction was to groan, which it would have been at the game too. A VAR pen is such an underwhelming experience, it basically feels like cheating.

Wham - Last Christmas

There’s just too many names in the hat. Can’t keep abreast of them all.

Aye .... maybe AS 'Cannes' would be a suitable appointment, but if he 'jiggled' the formations too much and failed tae 'rack' up the wins, the club could well go 'bust'. The fans would know exactly 'hooter' blame ... and fans tend to have long mammaries! 😄

Was going to ask as didn’t look one at the game. Shite game in general. Far too slow in getting ball forward and too many defenders.

I think if he didn’t settle on a formation quickly, and stick to it, then Titz would almost certainly be exposed.

See enough of them on a weekend morning trying to park on my street before Sunday service.

He certainly has his knockers, but Ah reckon he'd be a good fit for the Brest job ..... wi a decent style o' play(tex) might win a pair o' cups, and be well in line tae manage BRAzil. Otherwise, apply tae be Bristol's next boss ... he'd get a fair amount o' support.

Steely Dan - Home at Last

Oh, aye, and that pen was a fucking disgrace.

This is what happens when you make lots of expensive mistakes!

Ach weel, a nice confidence buildin' warm up tae our upcomin' thrashin' fae the Swiss 😄

Fairly poor performance tonight but got a win. Hampden an absolutely terrible venue for games like that. The ASDA down the road probably had more atmosphere. McGinn did well. Adams was fine too, generally holding the ball up and stretching them. McTominay not great, Gilmour not great, Robertson not great and Gannon Doak is just not that good. The back five wasn't really necessary and Tierney and Porteous didn't step out enough to join in the attacks. Very unconvincing, basically.

YAAASSS! 2-1 McGinn (pen)

A £6m loss on £24m revenue is wild. Wonder if the Finance Director recently leaving is a coincidence. Didn’t get any response to my application.
