Picture of the lad in hospital doing the rounds along with rumour of an hernia operation which usually means minimum of 4 weeks of no training if true.

Same story in the Record.

Fuck even Al is beating me to things. You not got a call to be on.

Second half was just as wild. Finished 1-1. Ecuador had another goal chopped off that should have stood but was not reviewed by VAR and two penalties overturned by VAR plus Alisson had a second red card rescinded on VAR review. Paraguay v Uruguay on now.

Not the only one.

Some 1st half in Ecuador v Brazil game. 1-0 Brazil, 3 lengthy VAR reviews, 1 red card each and another for Brazil overturned in one of the VAR reviews. Challenge by Ecuador keeper for first red would not have looked out of place in a Bruce Lee movie. Can’t wait for 2nd half.

These are honestly the 4 best fixtures in the cup?

Arabs are now level on points and only behind us on goal difference.

As Manc says games against St Johnstone as usually close and cannot see this being any different. It being at Pittodrie will hopefully mean team put in a bit more effort. Do we know if Hedges went off with an injury on Tuesday? Not sure if we have clearance for Besuijun but would think he will start if we do. Would consider resting Brown for this one and playing McGeouch. We need to find some creativity from somewhere but looking at current squad not sure where that comes from. Would also consider resting Ramirez as run of 2 goals in 11 is not great but we don’t have another striker to play in his place so need to keep trying with him. Watched a bit of St Johnstone game last night and they looked shite and not even showing any real fight. This is one we should be winning. Not convinced we will. oot Flat local game somewhere Flat 1-0 Ferguson (p)

After last night it is clear we desperately need the recruitment team to get in a creative midfielder to allow us breakdown teams like St Mirren who sit in and try to frustrate us. Also need another striker on the books to give us another option when Ramirez is not working or off form. Emmanuel Thomas clearly is not the answer. Thought of him being our only striking option if Ramirez gets injured is already giving me the fear. Big wages, fee and arguably a better player shipped out was a terrible deal.

Wrong season to be in transition though when 3rd guarantees European group football this year.

Considine said on Saturday that Watkins is out to the split. Hope he is wrong.

Dreadful defending for the goal. If Bologna have offered £3m for Ramsey we should be ripping their arm off. Lad has been awful since coming back from injury. Said before we have absolutely no creation without Hedges. Really need to get an attacking central midfielder in and another striker so we have another option when Ramirez is as poor as he was tonight.

For Fucks sake

Need to get some width on at half time. Zero creation on the field currently.

Woy confirmed.

It’s outrageous Al. Spoiled my entire day.

No Hayes so assume Campbell to left back.

Confirmed.

Take it on your mobile nobody else will be in for half 6.

Dutch second division has wildly different standard of teams and players. No idea if this lad will be any good or not but it’s definitely a position we needed to fill and a market we should be using more.

Last week of the window is usually when we see the most players moving as teams realise time is running out and start throwing money at their preferred targets. Assuming none of the players listed above are away before the game would expect them to play. Not a great fan of making changes to a winning team but get that manager may want to rest players. St Mirren not in great form so one we should be looking to win. oot work stream if I can find one flat 2-0 Ferguson and Hedges
