Phased roll out to Care Home staff, over 80s and then NHS staff in first batch. One of the unknowns of the vaccine is if you can still be a carrier after inoculation. The biggest issue with this vaccine is the need to be stored -70 so shipping to enough locations for mass vaccinations will be difficult. Do get the feeling Boris has signed us up to be the Worlds guinea pigs on this.

Looking like McCrorie is still missing for this one but Ferguson and McLennan should be back. Having Ferguson back should make us more competitive in midfield where we were overrun last week. Not sure we can go with a three especially with Leigh as felt he struggled against their winger. Might need to go to a 4 this week maybe playing Hayes at left back and Hoban at right back. oot flat TV flat 2-0 McLennan and Hayes

Aye supposed to snow overnight.

St Mirren and Killie found guilty of breaches in COVID procedures and 3-0 wins awarded to Motherwell x2 and Hamilton. Moves Motherwell on to 21 points and Hamilton on to 11. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11781/12150083/coronavirus-kilmarnock-and-st-mirren-sanctioned-for-breaches-of-covid-19-protocols

Snow over night in Edinburgh. Still sitting on top of Arthur’s Seat this morning.

Parkinson sacked by Sunderland. Wonder if they will come back in for McInnes. Don’t think he will accept it they do as they are a bigger basket case than they were before.

The offside decision given that chopped off the goal was a farce. Another where it was the players upper arm that was beyond last defender. Rule really needs changed and VAR changed to only being clear and obvious errors only.

Fact that McInnes went with a centre half at right back on Saturday rather than play Hernandez suggests there is something not right with him. Not seen enough of the boy to judge him but as Rico said he looked like he had never played right back when he made his debut and guessing that has continued in training for him not to be getting a look in when we need a replacement at right back or right wing back. Would not surprise me if he is moved on in the January window or put out on loan at least.

Their fans are taking it well.

Knocked out League cup by County today. Lennon’s jacket must be on a shoogly peg now. Victims being out makes last nights clusterfuck even more annoying.

Your right. He was going to be on the list but missed him in my rage.

Our midfield was completely overrun today. Some of those players need to be moved on. Leigh should not be offered an extension. Nowhere near good enough. Still cannot get my head round us paying a fee for Ojo. He offers fuck all. Slows game down needlessly and cannot tackle. Gives away so many stupid fouls. How can a supposedly defensive midfielder not be able to tackle. Main is another who manager tried to pay a fee for who is just shite. Never looks like scoring and his touch is awful. Hoping Cosgrove is still getting over injury but he looks every inch the player who was dropped just before lockdown. Campbell looked so weak. He really needs to get his finger out. He is miles behind McCrorie and Ferguson.

And then that happens. Fucking disgrace.

Bit better this half but still shite. Main has actually managed to offer less than Cosgrove.

How bad must Hernandez be that you would rather play a centre half at right back.

Dreadful performance in first half with Ojo, Campbell and Leigh being particularly bad. Very lucky to be 1-1. Substitutions are beyond explanation.

Hayes and McGinn both start with Taylor and Main dropping out. Assume Leigh moving into back 3 with Hoban and Considine.

Even with injuries we should be beating St Mirren. However not convinced that we will. Hopefully Hayes will be fit enough to start and would also get McGinn on from start if fit. Can see me watching this from behind the couch. Oot Christmas Shopping TV Flat 1-0 Cosgrove (pen)

Out for 6 weeks at least. Just when it looked like he was going to fulfil his potential. As you say lad has no luck.

When Kennedy stood out for St Johnstone it was as an out and out winger. I think he is struggling with the wing back role that we need him to play. He is another who suffers from McInnes’ square peg in round holes plan.

Could not get stream to work so was stuck with radio. Noticed Ojo’s name was either followed by “gives the ball away” or “commits the foul”. They were laughing at Main a couple of times during commentary. Sounded like Accies identified Hedges as our only threat and shut him down in the second half and were able to bully Campbell and Ojo easily in the middle of the park. As Dan says we should not be dropping points to Accies even with the injuries we have.

I took it that Leigh was moving to left wing back and Kennedy as right wing back to keep back 3.

Anyone manage to register for Accies PPV?
