Ramirez was one who (according to my wife) was off on holiday again during the current international break. Assume there will have been others. Would have thought with the change of management those not on international duty would have stayed to work with new management team to help develop an understanding prior to next two games.

Was at Kelty Hearts v Stenhousemuir today. Kieran Ngwenya played well it not really tested. Put in some really good crosses and looked comfortable on the ball. League winner now as well. As an aside that’s me back to having visited all 42 league grounds. Should be alright for next season or so as already been to grounds of teams who are likely come up this season.

They all could have been hooked. Very poor performance by Scotland. Turkey were better than us all over the field. 2-0 flattered us in the end.

U21 team for tonight. Game on BBC Scotland at 7pm.

Thought Scotland played well in stages tonight and were unlucky not to have got another goal at least. Thought Ross Stewart might have got a run and agree with those questioning Hickey not starting. Big Polish support there tonight. Made plenty of noise.

Was at Alloa v Peterhead on Saturday. Ryan Duncan was not as dominant as he was last time I saw Peterhead but still managed to hit the post and miss a sitter. He is allegedly getting over COVID which may be the reason he was not as sharp as he was in the last game.

Purely from a selfish point of view I will qualify for a ticket in Austria but won’t if it’s Wales so will be will cheering Austria on from my seat at Hampden tonight.

Was just away to post about this in general football thread. Interesting appointment especially with Mark Kerr having been a manager in his own right at Ayr previously. Not aware that Alan Maybury has been a manager previously. Bit odd only interim as well. With City playing on a Friday night have been along to a few games. Might head along to a few more now with them having Dons connection.

Humped out the cup and international break responsible for that.

Big wage and in his 30s so I can see that club might be keen to cash in if there is any interest in him this summer from elsewhere.

Scott Burns retweeted this suggesting Ramirez might be going back to US.

Reported to social services for child cruelty.

Their luck just keeps coming.

If anyone is in Edinburgh area tonight Edinburgh City are charging £5 entry to their game against Stranraer with all proceeds being donated to Ukraine Aid charity.

Losers of the play off semi finals are to play friendly game on the final date. As Wales and Austria are still playing their semi final we are still playing the loser.

As the robbing bastards at Scotrail want £40 for train on Saturday will be giving this a miss this weekend. As Manc says hopefully the break will have team more focused and those with injuries a bit fitter. Hibs still didn’t look particularly good last weekend and still seem to be struggling to create chances. Got to win this to have any chance of top 6 and scraping into Europe. oot flat local game somewhere flat 1-1 Ramirez

Thought Anderson might get a run to replace Nisbet to see if he can step up. Agree with comments on Armstrong. He has looked decent in recent games despite Southampton being poor as a team. Patterson should not be in squad on back of 45 minutes first team action since he joined Everton. Anyone else buy tickets today? I got mine no problem but seen elsewhere others have had real problems.

Ooft the clown doing the draw couldn’t get the hot and cold balls right and drew Celtic v Rangers and Hearts v Hibs.

Victims eased passed Arabs 3-0.

Friendly against Poland announced. Replaces Ukraine fixture.

Thought that went without saying.

Tribute Act through with 3-0 win over Dundee. I am sure you will all be shocked and stunned to hear that Tribute Act got yet another penalty in this game.
