£32 for upper and £30 for lower. Got to pay for their half built stand somehow I suppose.

Shame we are not getting any of these acceptable view seats because of a piss poor turnout.

Beat me to it. Does he have a Scottish Gran was going to be my question.

While I agree with any fuck the Tribute Act actions I would say that if the numbers sold suggested in the Daily Ranger are correct then we can have absolutely no complaint if the SFA/SPFL slash our allocation for future games.

Scotland U21s soundly beaten 2-0 tonight at Tynecastle. English players bigger stronger and technically miles ahead of us. Defeat made even more grating by the hun cunts with their Tributr Act flag cheering on England.

Kenny Miller back in management again?

Looked far more comfortable playing a 4 at the back. Was never a 3-0 game but individual errors cost us. Desperately need to find a right back as O’Donnell is clearly not good enough for this level. Was disappointed Devlin never got a game ahead of Hendry as he is a far better player. Hendry at fault for all of the goals. Thought GMS did more in his 20 minutes than Forrest has done in his 23 caps for Scotland. Still another defeat and knives are well and truly out for McLeish amongst support. No way he survives if we do not win next 2 games.

Team for Portugal. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpeeqDZWwAEMnKz?format=jpg

Well beaten tonight. Other than McGregor not one Scotland player who started got pass marks. O’Donnell at right back was probably worst offender. Not sure there was contact for Red card but act of stupidity from Soutar in throwing his arm back. Think McLeish has to go a 4 at the back if he has any chance of saving his job.

1-0 Scotland - Mulgrew from the penalty spot after Naismith brought down.

Raids today in Belgium carried out on most of the top flight clubs over match fixing and financial irregularities. Clubs in France, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Luxembourg and Cyprus. Would think that if clubs in the Belgian top flight, a reasonably well off European country, are involved in match fixing then more than likely that top flight clubs in other countries are also going to be at it. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/10/10/belgian-football-faces-investigation-financial-fraud-match-fixing/

Stockley played in Europe for us last season. Not sure International break is a bad thing as might allow us to get some of our injured players back.

Good win but think we have to temper this with how shite the opposition were. Thought McLennan looked decent and he took his goal well. Ferguson again impressed. Have to keep reminding myself he is only 19. Well done to Cosgrove in doubling his career goal tally in one game. Still not convinced he will find it as easy to score against the rest of the league. As for St Mirren think they and Dundee could be the worst teams I have seen in top flight in a long time. Will be a miracle if they don’t finish in the bottom 2.

Recently German fans staged a silent 20 minutes to protest over various disputes with DFB. Something like this may work here. Would need to be all clubs fans though which might be difficult to arrange. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/27/bundesliga-fans-give-dfb-the-silent-treatment-dortmund-hit-seven-protests-football

Milne will be in tears.

I look for us to be challenging for league every season. I get that we start at a disadvantage due to financial clout of Celtic and the Tribute Act but if the club can get the right balance between bringing through our own players and brining in talent from elsewhere on the back of a proper scouting network then it should be impossible to compete with them. Building a purpose built training facility will hopefully help towards this. Don’t get folk saying they want to see Celtic and Tribute Act out of the league as they are too big. Always going to be teams that are bigger than others.

Think we need to stick with 2 up top as do not think May or Wilson look like they suit the lone striker role. If Ferguson is fit again would be tempted to drop one of holding midfielders in Shinnie or Ball. Should not need two defensive midfielders against St Mirren at home. Not expecting St Mirren to be as bad as they were in the cup game but still a game we should be looking to win comfortably. In Late train and straight to ground Y Beers in town as staying up overnight. - Now changed to straight back down the road so no beer for me. 2-0 McGinn and GMS

Assistant ref hit with an object thrown from Tribute Act support. When are these cunts going to get brought to task.

Agreed Manc. Trips to Tannadice were highlights of the season. Looks like only chance of playing them anytime soon will be in the cups.

I am beginning to think there are 2 Greg Stewarts as the one playing for Killie cannot be the same fat work shy shyster we had last season.

While I do think the lack of a creative central midfielder is a big part of the problem I still think that the main problem is that not one of our strikers is an out and out goal scorer. May looks a shadow of the player who was at St Johnstone and since coming back from injury has only scored 7 goals. Wilson looks more like a striker who creates chances for a partner and even before his injury was only scoring a goal every 5 games. Cosgrove is just not a footballer never mind a striker. Until we get in a replacement for Rooney I think we are going to struggle to score many goals even if we do address the lack of creation in the middle of the park. For me best option at the moment is to stick with May and Wilson as a front 2 and hope that they form a decent if not prolific partnership to get us through until January.
