Scotland announce 4 friendlies against Costa Rica at home and Hungary, Peru and Mexico away. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scotland-to-take-on-costa-rica-hungary-peru-and-mexico/?rid=14258 Would have loved to head to Budapest and Mexico City games but already booked to go to San Francisco later this year so not able to go.

Watford sack Marco Silva weeks after refusing him permission to speak to Everton.

Ryan Fraser scoring again for Bournemouth yesterday. 4 in last 8.

Does the spade work that makes McGinn look good according to green spoon burners in my work. Overrun along with McGinn by our midfield twice this season.

For me kick off time made it a pain in the arse to get up to so it being on TV affected my attendance.

Today's Results. Alloa 0 Dundee Utd 2 Ayr 4 Arbroath 1 Celtic 5 Brechin 0 Dundee 2 Inverness 2 Dunfermline 1 Morton 2 East Fife 0 Brora 1 Kilmarnock 1 Ross County 0 Motherwell 2 Hamilton 0 QOS FC 1 Partick 2 Aberdeen 4 St Mirren 1 Great result for Brora but the only shock of round so far. Postponed games to played over next two mid weeks.

4-1 win against the team top of the 1st division is not a bad start to cup campaign. We did not look great defensively but hopefully Kari not out for to long and McKenna back from suspension will sort that.

Would suspect they have one of board memembers contributing if his wages are as high as that.

Glad this is not away as could have been a difficult tie down there. Hopefully McGinn is fit to start as he is a step above the other wingers at the club and will create chances for Rooney to stick away. Stupid kick off time and this being on TV mean I am out. Oot Flat Flat Local Lowland league game if any are on. 3-0 Dons Rooney x 2 and McGinn

6 months left on his contract and can leave for free in the summer. It's a decent offer if true.

This.

Stoke accepting relegation then.

Being reported in a comic that SFA have reached a compensation deal with Norn Iron to allow them to speak to Michael O'Neill. Already has a 4 year extension on the table from Irish.

Work permit issues maybe?

Could not understand the Tansey signing in the first place as never really impressed by him so happy to see him go. At least we never paid a fee for him. Hopefully this means we have another central midfield player coming in as would not want to rely on Ball and O'Connor as back up there.

Arsenal also knocked out of English cup by Forrest 4-2.

Dirty Leeds knocked out of FA cup by Newport County.

Murphy's deal at Brighton runs to 2019 I think.

Belter of a game between Sevilla and Real Betis. Finished 5-3 to Betis.

I heard in the summer that Christie has no interest in coming here permanently as we cannot come close to matching wages he is on at Celtic.

Daily Retard claiming Michael O'Neil has turned down Scotland job.

MacKay is only the interim manager and has already said he does not want the job full time.

Freesports currently showing the Lisbon derby. Been an okay game so far.

I would think we would need to shift players out before getting anyone else in.

Being very unfair on Rooney. He was again played on the wing today with McLean through the the middle. Never been his game. We need to get back to playing him as the central striker. When we play himthrough the middle he scores goals. We should be looking at others in the team for lack of creation.
