Bruce Anderson doesn't exactly seem to be ripping it up @ Ayr United As far as I can see nine appearances, two goals and I think I might be right in saying that they both came in the same game (possibly even his first appearance). Michael Ruth, I've got to confess I have even less idea how he is getting on at Arbroath. I actually think that Ruth possibly has another year on his contract beyond this one as sure that he signed a year's extension at some point. Miko Virtanen also on loan at Arbroath. Seemed very highly thought of when there last season but not really heard much about how he is getting on this season. Kind of getting to the make or break stage for these lads

To be honest, I'm not sure either that the label of "dud" is entirely justified This is a young guy who has close to twenty full caps for a national team that is currently twenty places above Scotland in the rankings. The lad clearly has something about him and I actually feel sorry for him given how things have panned out. There are however, as others have stated, burning questions about this whole affair that do require answers and sooner rather than later. (Could be interesting when the DNA cap get passed around next otherwise) I hope some how we get out of this unscathed financially and wish Ronnie nothing but success in his career wherever that takes him.

Yeah had completely forgotten about that. First surfaced during his time at Liverpool now I think about it. Did he not miss months of one season whilst recuperating ?

Can't see us realistically getting Campbell unless someone is leaving for decent money and even then I'd imagine he'll have offers from English Championship which we'll be unable to compete with financially as Jute as already stated Stewart, I'm just a little non plussed about. Not exactly a prolific goal scorer but competent enough from what I've seen of him. To be honest would probably be more excited about Watkins coming in on a permanent as think he would add more to the side overall. Any striker coming in surely means one going out. Take your pick on Cosgrove or Main. Edit: P.S Also on the striker front, would doubt we'll see Anderson having any future and out of contract at season end, so likely to be offski

Ex Liverpool manager Gerald Houllier. Only 73, but long history of illness apparently

Too lengthy to copy and paste so here's the link to it. Really had a horrendous start to his Aberdeen career, but despite it I always liked Preece and I sense he still has an affection for the club, the fans and the city. Well worth a read guys https://allybegg.com/david-preece-after-my-debut-i-sat-at-the-end-of-my-bed-for-an-age-i-was-devastated/.

I doubt any of us without the help of the much used Old Firm numbered pins of days gone by could possibly have drawn that group To those of us of my generation, this is surely a kiss of death, as we invariably perform better when under dogs.

Nice open draw then, given all the above criteria ?

Mr Golf to those of my generation RIP Peter

Newcastle Utd I say ? Away to get the car defrosted and will drive him there myself. This surely can't be serious but being reported by Alan Nixon

I rest my case young man Thanks Tom

In fairness and making no excuses we were never cruising at any point during that game. We might have got our noses in front and been ahead in terms of possession stats but we were never at any point comfortable in that game Watched the game on a stream of St Mirren TV ( which was totally shite quality) and they totally bossed the game. Unless I am wrong I believe that they had 24 or 25 attempts at goal

Is correct Incredibly stupid from a young inexperienced player putting the referee ( corrupt bastard) in a position where he has to make a decision

Wright has nae luck Double hernia operation required. Plenty time to get that new contract signed then.

Said before the Hamilton game that any kind of win regardless of how we managed to shitfest our way to it was all that mattered. This game is no different. We failed with the first instalment of it. We simply can't fail again. If the past couple of games have shown one thing only it is that whilst we might have strength in our squad this season to be be able to cope with a couple of first picks missing, strip out five or six of them all at once, then the quality simply isn't there. Whilst we've probably been unlucky to be hit with the number of injuries all at once coupled with the SFA induced Covid-19 fuck up, if we can get through on Saturday then hopefully things will start to clear up without too much damage having been done. Right now, offer me a injury time winner after a torrid ninety minutes or a penalty shoot out victory and I'd snatch your hand off. COYR

Fucking glorious stuff tonight in Prague Will never tire of seeing these self entitled pricks getting ripped a new one Just fucking glorious Lenny must stay

Hedges outstanding and a over the park. Hope he recovers at half time from injury. God to see Campbell back out there and he has based the middle of the park.

Do they not prosecute for mental cruelty towards children in your part of the world Manc ?

Excellent post Rico You've summed up far better than I could.

What's your view on the overwhelming silence from the SFA ? Do you not feel they have a duty to report matters if only to stop folk like me apparently taking a bit from here, a bit for there and speculating by filling in the gaps. It certainly does appear that the managers of the three clubs affected are far from happy with how it has been handled and I would suspect they know more of the ins and outs than the rest of us

I would respectively suggest that it was incompetent to insist that players from the same team are placed beside one another whilst travelling. This does nothing whatsoever to reduce the potential impact upon any one team, in this instance us. I'm being honest when I say that had it been Hun Mk 11 that were effected my thoughts on the matter would be the same. There appears to be issues regarding the timing (if at all) of testing and then we come to the communication issues and the apparent lack of any apology or remorse for what has happened. They have been quick to investigate clubs for potential failings. Who investigates them ?
