Assuming that this will be the same team as was going to start on Wednesday although do we really need 3 holding central midfielders against County so might see Campbell dropping out to be replaced by McGinn or McLennan if either are fit. County have looked really poor in the previous 2 games so not expecting Hughes to make much difference. Oot Flat TV Flat 2-0 Wright and Ferguson.

This explains the above.

Signed on loan for Northampton Town for rest of season. https://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/2021/january/ryan-edmondson/

Derby County not able to pay wages of players for December. Surprised they are only ones so far. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11696/12187058/derby-unable-to-pay-first-team-in-full-amid-doubts-over-club-takeover

Some of the defending from Santos was outstanding. They gave Boca very few opportunities and when they did they were throwing bodies in to block shots. Two Paulista teams in the final being played in Rio.

Ref saying there was a layer of ice on the field and it was players who asked for game to be called. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55532175

One of the great myths of these pitches is that they are all weather. They freeze easier than grass pitches for starters and also become unplayable in high temperatures admittedly less of an issue here. The only reason clubs fit them is to save/make money.

Still more likely to score than Main. Although I will give you different shades of shite really.

Cosgrove dropped instead of Main is odd.

Weather forecast suggesting there is potential for snow in West Lothian so hopefully this is still on.

Watched the Copa Libertadores semi final between Palmeiras v River Plate last night. Brilliant game despite the constant stoppages for VAR reviews. Palmeiras were 3-0 up from first leg but River went at them from the off and were 2-0 up by half time. They then scored what looked a perfectly good third goal which was eventually chopped off by VAR as a River player came from an offside position in the build up to intercept a pass by a Palmeiras defender. River were then reduced to 10 men. Next River were awarded a penalty when River forward was brought down in the box. However after another lengthy VAR review it was decided that when watched in super slow motion from one angle that the forward dragged his foot to draw the contact so the decision was over turned. Neither of decisions in my opinion were clear and obvious errors. Game was played at a fantastic pace though and well worth sitting up to 2am to watch. Second semi final between Boca and Santos is on BBC iPlayer tonight at 10:15pm. Hopefully it will be as good.

Definitely not me anyway. They are awful to watch.

Manchester United win 1-0 over Burnley to go top of league in England. Play Liverpool this weekend. Win and will be 6 points clear.

Woods deal extended. Seems odd use of a very limited budget given Cerny now fit.

Funny when I saw this I wondered if Wrights development compensation just happened to be the fee for McCorie.

Reminded me of main stand at Gala a bit.

Think it’s exactly the bit in bold. There is no way Aberdeen sack a manager who has the team third in the table and only lost 4 out of 21 league games. Also a club pleading poverty does not pay off an 18 month contract in that situation just because the football has not been great to watch.

Think they have volunteers are doing things like admin tasks at vaccination centres or driving folk to them rather than vaccinations themselves. Israel have been doing 150,000 vaccinations a day by having centres open 24 hours a day. Think to hit the levels we are looking at we will need to do something similar.

That will push back most of third round ties then as a fair number of second round ties and 1st round tie are still to be completed.

Livingston PPV is £20 so they can go fuck themselves. Stream if I can find one for this or radio if the have it. Hedges will be suspended for this unless we appeal so will probably be changes to team. Expect McCrorie to replace Campbell in the middle and Kennedy to replace Hedges. I would also swap Anderson for Main and try pairing Cosgrove with a more mobile striker to see if that will allow us to create chances. If nobody is coming in need to try something different with the players we have. Fully expect McInnes to stick with shit and even shitter up front. Livingston are on fire at the moment and winning the games we have been drawing. Really cannot afford to lose this one. Oot Work Flat and stream or radio Flat 1-1 Wright

Not convinced that’s right and Anderson has scored already against the Tribute Act. Would have given him the shot myself.

Hibs allegedly signing Jackson Irvine. Would like to have seen him at Dons. Apologies for the source. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/jackson-irvine-nears-hibs-transfer-23293782

Thought we started out okay but Tribute Act were getting on top before the red card. Tribute Act should have scored in first 30 seconds but Morelos made a tit of the gift from Taylor. Cosgrove then made a similar mess of a good chance not long after.
