Reading that squad has reminded me why I never went to the football sober in those days.

Positive press is just the same as previous bunch of spivs and shysters got when they first took over. Soon enough the orcs and their pets in the press will realise they are being conned again. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Agree with comments about giving Shankland a run. Surely this is the sort of game to play him in. With little to play for we are not really risking that much by giving him a run of games.

Thought it was only me that was not overly impressed with Hector. However as TC says would rather him than Taylor.

For Reynolds to be behind 34 year old Gordon Greer was a farce. Surely in a friendly we should have been trying out players who will be around for the long term yet we again give games in the main to the tried and tested. Reynolds treatment just reinforces my view that Magoo has far more influence over team selection than a assistant manager should have. As for game itself I hope they have now got the message that against a team who is going to sit in 4-5-1 is not effective and that Fletcher and Rhodes should start against Gib. Anya again impressed along with Forsyth and Darren Fletcher. Stephen Fletcher worked hard but cannot buy a goal at the moment however as long as we go 2 up front on Sunday would still give him a run. Whittaker is shite and needs emptied urgently. Not sure who could replace him at right back but surely we have someone better than him. Lastly Michael McGovern again impressed. When is his contract up with Accies?

If we get more points than last season the I would say we can rightly say we have improved however sucess is winning something and we will win nothing this season so it is not a successful season.

If the stories are true then we have to get rid sharpish. Do not need disruptive influences in the dressing room. Said when we first signed him that his off field issues should have meant we did not touch him.

Thought draw was probably fair result in the end. We had plenty of ball in first half but most of the time were to ponderous once the ball arrived at Flood or Jack. McInnes has to realise we cannot play both Jack and Flood. Has to just be one of them i.e. Jack. Well taken goal by Rooney following great play by Driver. If he continues this sort of form we should be getting a contract extension on the table now. Second half was awful. Again baffling tactics as we seemed to settle for 1-0 win and have Ash Taylor aimlessly punting the ball to various Dundee players. Substitution of Driver was right as his legs were gone but for McInnes then to wait until 4 minutes from the end to make the next change was beyond belief. McLean Flood and Taylor especially could all have been hooked long before the end. Impressed with Bain again. Looks a decent keeper. Shame we never had one like him on our books.....

Currently they are only 4 points ahead of Queen of the South and 6 clear of Falkirk. Still a chance that they might finish outside the play offs.

Works in my favour as well. Game should never have been on a Monday of the international week anyway.

See this has been moved back to the Saturday with 1215 kick off.

Was surprised how easily Spurs folded after the 2nd goal.

Bizarre tactics, bizarre subs, very poor overall performance and two howlers from Well defence but wins a win. Keeps pressure on Tims.

Chelsea eliminated from Europe. A pleasing evening made even better by Carraghers rant about the state of English football.

Does that mean they are now paying 3 managers at the same time? Wonder how they are paying for that given King has already said he does not have the money.

As long as his injury problems are behind him should be an excellent addition to the squad.

Brilliant game between Schalke and Real Madrid. Schalke currently 4-3 up. 1 more for them and Real are out.

It's amazing how easy a ride Van Gaal is getting off the press compared to Moyes. Very little if any difference between their records.

Is there not also still a game against United to fit in that was cancelled for League Cup Semi?

Fucking Perth Cunts. I had just about accepted season was over now they have given me hope again.

Are these cunts not dead yet?

Probably a fair point.

Courtois best at the moment.

What a surprise. This is exactly what everyone who opposed Team GB said would happen but the the apologists said would not. As Olympic qualifying for Europe uses the results of U21 teams this will hopefully be killed of swiftly or could see the end of national team.
