Going to be really tight league this season. Good few teams who could win it. I decided to watch France v Argentina Olympic quarter final. 1-0 France with 15 minutes left.

Seems odd that the suspension would kick in for the second league cup game and not the first but a boost if he is.

Adam Emslie and Findlay Marshall going out on loan to Cove.

Definitely no Clarkson for Monday. Out for Potentially 8 weeks.

Confirmation that St Mirren game moved to Sunday. Still possibility Killie game could be moved if they get passed Tromso.

4-1. Valur look a pretty poor side. Not sure St Mirren will get passed Brann Bergen as easily. Oh well no Saturday game again next week.

3-1 with a penalty for Valur.

3-0 St Mirren. Cracking strike by Mark O’Hara.

Drop into Conference league now and play Tromso.

As there is no VAR in Iceland they don’t use it in second leg tonight.

2-0 St Mirren. Looked offside but no VAR so goal stands. Means our home game next week will be moved to the Sunday unless there is a complete arse collapse from St Mirren.

Striker who missed is the son of Aberdeen legend Haraldur Ingolfsson. Explains the miss really.

1-0 St Mirren. Header from Sean Rooney However should have been 1-1 right away. Good save by keeper but striker should have scored.

St Mirren v Valur on BBC Scotland channel just now. 0-0 after 10 minutes.

Espanyol lost €30m in two season before they were relegated and lost even more money this year in the secunda. They rarely get over 15,000. They are not in a position to pay big fees. Last I checked this seasons signings had all be loans or free transfers. I would think €3m is about there limit.

Espanyol are one of smaller clubs in Spain and just promoted back to top flight so suspect that £3m is best they can offer. I think Bojan himself knows he can play for a bigger club than them.

Agree that £6.5m seems low figure for a player of his ability.

Beaten 1-0. Don’t agree with B teams being in this competition so not to bothered about it.

Youth team playing Banks of Dee in challenge cup tonight. Team is 1. Rodrigo Vitols, 2. Cameron Wilson, 3. Timothy Akindileni, 4. Lewis Carrol, 5. Blair Mckenzie, 6. Findlay Marshall, 7. Adam Emslie, 8. Alfie Stewart, 9. Alfie Bavidge, 10. Dylan Lobban (C), 11. Fletcher Boyd Subs: 20. Conner Douglas, 12. Dylan Ross, 14. Ellis Clark, 16. Jack Searle, 17. Joseph Teasdale, 18. Fraser Mackie, 19. Zak To

Only draw back with that is Murrayfield is being used that weekend for Autumn test against Fiji. However do agree that Hampden shouldn’t be used if Huns make semi finals and the cunts are still playing there.

Way too early to think about this one. Hoping we will have at least a couple of players in for start of league campaign as squad definitely looks weak in certain areas. Still a few tickets left for away end when I looked last night but not many. St Johnstone struggled to get out of a weak league cup group and their fans are already talking about it being a long season.

Highlights.

Same team as Tuesday which is a surprise.

I thought Duncan looked good when he was on loan with Peterhead a couple of seasons back but he has never really had a run of games since coming back.

I probably should have said the main reason for wanting Sokler on the right was so that Morris isn’t. Agree that we should be looking to get in a wide player as soon as possible and would not be happy at Sokler being passed off as the solution.
