Now that league is done SFA eventually get round to punishing players who broke COVID rules. No way they would have taken as long to punish any other team’s players. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56580699

Manc I suspect players knew exactly who the new management team were last week. Would like to see Hornby back up top beside Kamberi for this one. McKenzie did enough to keep his place from last week. I wonder if we will see Ross or Virtanen given runs this week following the new coaches comments on developing youth. Dumbarton played their first game since early January on Saturday and are to play Tuesday and Thursday this week before they play us on Saturday so fair chance players will running on empty by the time they play us. No excuse for no winning this one. Game is on BBC this week at 12:15. Oot Park with Bairn TV Park with Bairn 2-0 Kamberi & Ferguson

Confirmed Logan away on loan to Hearts. https://www.afc.co.uk/2021/03/29/shay-logan-heads-out-on-loan/?fbclid=IwAR28PvEWcut_u3C_cOjnVOg6u46dsxCmHKUOJl15OyqRvpPGtk39z8-ywYI

There is another thread in the football chat section. Might be worth merging threads to keep it all together.

Kamberi unused sub again in Albania’s 2-0 defeat to England.

Yeah we need to go at them and rattle in a good few. Goal difference might still come into this.

Can’t see Israel beating Austria. They are too weak at the back and Austria forwards look capable.

Not so sure. Think to qualify we had to win tonight.

Great strike for Fraser.

Christie on for Henry. Gone to back 4?

Very poor first half Henry and Hanley are murder. Midfield is anonymous. Could end up losing by a few here. As for goal Henry should have gone to lad who played pass but didn’t then Pertez was given all the time in the world to shoot. Even then Marshall should have saved it.

McGinn comes of the bench to replace Kennedy and score this. Northern Ireland still lost 2-1 to USA.

Adams starts along with McGregor and Fraser. Christie, Dykes and Armstrong dropping out.

Kennedy in the starting line up for Northern Ireland in the their friendly with USA.

That’s brutal. Would be surprised if he survives past this weekend.

Ireland lose 1-0 to Luxembourg. Got to think Stephen Kenny will be emptied after this. Not won in 8 and only score 2 goals.

Outside Budge’s house apparently. Last two from outside the stadium. Going to get promoted as Champions yet still not enough for them.

Hedges for me just shading out Wright. Not played any decent football since both have been unavailable.

Kamberi was an unused sub in Albania’s 1-0 win over Andorra. McGinn and Kennedy were unused subs in Northern Ireland’s 2-0 defeat by Italy.

Of those out of contract this year would like to see Hoban offered a new deal but expect him head back South. From the comments about developing players I expect Anderson, Ross and Virtanen to be offered extensions. The rest who are out of contract I expect to be moved on. I also think club might try cash in on Ferguson. Creates space for managers mate to play.

Think you need to be winning your home games to qualify but point from a game where we were behind twice is a decent return.

Some strike by McGinn to make it 2-2.

1-1 Hanley with a header. Poor by Austrian keeper.

He got better when he was move closer to Dykes but still not playing well. Christie from earlier this season scores one of the chances just before half time.

McTominay best player for us. Hanley needs taken off before he is sent off. Christie is right off form. Would consider bringing Turnbull on for him.
