Agree with Rico one of few pleasures from last night was watching Gilmour in the flesh. He is a great player. After watching Patterson last night he is a good player but Ramsey is already a better player. We have a real star on our hands and Scotland are well covered at right back now. However overall last night was very disappointing. Despite having a number of shots very few actually troubled their keeper. We will not get anywhere near as many chances in Vienna on Tuesday. I am not convinced any of our strikers are good enough to convert any of the few chances we get.

Well that was pish. From the Omni shambles trying to access the ground to finishing the game with 5 defenders on the field against Moldova. Did their keeper have a decent save to make. Not a chance we finish better than 4th in this group.

I only got the message during the maintenance. Been fine since.

To be fair to Clarke Nisbet was injured for Wednesday night but agree he should be getting more game time than he does. Tierney did have a poor game by his standards. Has his confidence been knocked by mess Arsenal seem to be in. Wednesday showed again we have not got the grass routes development right. Denmark have a similar population size to Scotland but regularly produce teams that are better at football and more tactically aware than us. Very few if any of our squad would have got a game for Denmark on Wednesday. No idea how we put that right but not running the game for the good of two clubs might be a starting point.

Lewis Ferguson now a full international.

Been better in second half but that’s mainly down to Denmark fucking off to the pub at half time.

It’s actually Robertson. 2-0 down already. This could be 5 or 6. Cutting through us at will.

Team for Denmark game tonight. Guessing Tierney to right back?

Bit disappointed we did not go for Kerr if that was asking price as he is better than Bates or Gallagher. Saints fans are going ballistic and quite rightly so as the players have been replaced by loan signings with little first team game time or players with injury issues.

Very surprised nobody left yesterday. We have 7 central midfield players at the club who all do very similar jobs and Kennedy who is clearly not rated by the management. Disappointed we never brought in a creative number 10 as we have nobody for that role. Can see us struggling to break teams down especially while Hedges is injured. Also think we are very light at the back as only have 2 centre backs and a midfielder playing there. Plus point is keeping Hedges and Ferguson as they are two of the better players at the club. Be interesting to see how Ferguson reacts to not getting his move. Hopefully he gets on with the job and does not spit the dummy and sulk for rest of season.

Ali McCann also leaving St Johnstone to join Preston for £1m.

Jamie Robertson sold by Arabs to Lincoln City for undisclosed fee.

Jason Kerr allegedly going to Wigan for £500k. Big blow to St Johnstone as one of their better players.

1st round proper drawn yesterday. One of the ties is televised by BBC this round. Should be Penicuik v Tranent or Irvine Meadow v Auchinleck Talbot.

Saved by another goal keeping error. No wins in 5.

Neither Gallagher or Barron made Forfar or Kelty match day squads. Brechin had no game today. Hernandez is on bench for Atlanta United game against Nashville. ETA Hernandez was an 84 minute sub in a 2-0 defeat.

Preliminary round results. Good results for Bankso’Dee and Golspie.

Preliminary round of Scottish Cup today with following ties. Heading to Linlithgow v Banks O’Dee this afternoon.

Manchester City currently wiping the floor with Arsenal. City 4-0 up with 20 minutes to go. Cannot see Arteta lasting much longer.

He is a basket case and not worth bringing in.

That would be my thought as well. Very similar type of player to Ferguson. No sure if he is as good as Ferguson though. Still think we need a proper number 10 but guessing that’s not coming.

Jack Milne was back in Brechin City’s starting 11 on Wednesday and played full 90 minutes of their 4-1 win over Formartine.
