Really not much interest in this game anymore, is there? Can’t say I blame anyone, it’s been a hard slog over the last couple of seasons, despite things not actually being as bad as they had in the past. I guess it’s all relative.

May as well have it’s own thread with the impending exodus / signings nearly upon us. I see we’ve also been linked with mcnulty the Arab. Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been linked with a player who player well against us, he the answer to our goal scoring issues though?

Didn’t watch the game at the weekend, meant to ask how Ruth and Ross played. Be good if we had a couple of others coming through.

Yet again, a huge opportunity missed. I mean, DM wouldn't have won the SC cup but still. Can't believe Hibs have the chance to win yet another Scottish Cup.

Given our capitulation on the weekend, you'd hope we see some sort of reaction and hopefully the manager has some fresh ideas. Or at least a plan B. There have been a few positives over the last few weeks (Ramsay and a slight return to form of Campbell) but they've been few and far between. Their form is as patchy as ours, so this really could go either way. Obviously the cup ended as a draw in normal time so can see this being similar. Barring a tactical clusterfuck. If we drop points here it's not the end of the world, but it does cut our lead over them to 6 points. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-1, McGinn

Mon the fucking dons. Let’s get into these caravan dwellers. Please score at least one more goal than them. Cheers ?

He comes across really well and saying all the right things. Great to have a positive manager again.

Having to follow on live text. Seems that way, Al!

Aye, I’d had a scan but couldn’t find any reference to it. Definitely felt like there’d be a third . Just thought with all the lockdowns it’d be a prime opportunity to finish a trilogy ? will have a look at those books, been after something new to read

Gonna hijack this thread for the game if that’s ok TLG as I think it sets it up nicely. not going to be the making of our season as that’s all over the shop, need to focus on trying to end as positively as we can , especially with the new manager in place. Still, as you say, the dhims are there for the taking but I’m not convinced we’ve the quality or nous to take advantage of it. Who knows, he might throw in a bunch of youngsters that step up to the plate and show some of the older guys how it’s done. out bed Work work 2-1 dhims, Ferguson

Has he played for them yet? Still “amuses” me he’s in this thread

We’re through, that’s all that matters. Nice that subs made a difference too.

Had a look, his goal scoring record is pretty shite these days. I’d hope we could do better

Haven't had time to read lately, but hoping with winter coming that that might change. Al, when is the final book in that Dutch series due out?

What's he been doing lately? Don't hear much about him these days

Shame, red shite are out ? City through in the end.

I get that, but racism trumps it all imo. Kamara should have been allowed to do what he wanted (I know, I know). Nothing less is acceptable. They've shown once again that they're looking at this incorrectly. From the colonizers perspective.

I know it goes against the grain of the thread, but it's still relevant. I can't believe they gave Kamara a 3 match ban. Seriously, the guy was racially abused, what is wrong with these people?!

Which is actually even funnier, as that was the first All Whites game in something like two years from memory. They as a national team, never seem to have any games. Dortmund beating shitty at the mo, red scum and franco scum 0-0.

Livi haven't been on the best run of form of late, and obviously got pumped by Celtic at the weekend. Last time out against us (at Pittodrie) we lose 2-0, a game which kinda summed our season up. A fumbling Lewis, shite team from McInnes, no proper strikers and no goals. Obviously this is SG's first game in charge and all the talk (understandably) has been very positive, so I am very intrigued to see what team he puts out. I doubt there'd be a magically change in quality of play, but who knows. He's got a few big calls to make. The draw has been favourable to us, so we really need to make this cup competition count. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-0 Dons, Ferguson

Be interesting to see what changes (if any) he makes to the starting line up. Obviously he's a bit hamstrung at the moment, but given his intent on youth, it'll be interesting to see how many are promoted / utilised.

Doing it in Wellington tomorrow too, 41 gun salute...

Saints have been going about their business quietly, not scoring lots of goals, but regular wins and by small margins. So I can't see this being any different. We're still pish but hopefully we'll continue to see the youth getting a bit more of a run around. Ramsay was very promising on the weekend and it's clear some of the senior players are done. Will Glass be having a say on things now? In/out: Out Prematch: Bed Match: Bed Post Match: Bed Prediction: 1-1, Kamberi

You're the first person I've seen say that about him. Personally, I don't think he'll cut it, as he's not progressive enough but how folk were blaming him for the poor performance yesterday surprised me. Especially since there are experienced pro's in that team who are massively under performing / past it. Seems like a nice kid, and I wish him well. I just haven't seen anything that makes me think he's what we need to take us forward. Caveat being, I didn't watch this game (just the highlights), it's more of a feeling I have generally speaking. Edit: Ramsay looks a player, good to see some excellent crosses getting played in. Decent effort from Ross as well. Actually seemed like we were wasteful from the highlights, but that'll be why they're in the highlights reel. Highlights:

So I’m guessing there’s no need to bother with the highlights for this one then? Through to the next round, that’s all that matters. For now at least.
