Bochum complete the great escape from Bundesliga play off. They were safe on final day until a 92nd minute winner for Union Berlin dropped them into play off on goal difference. They then lost home leg 3-0 but tonight won 3-0 in Dusseldorf taking the game to extra time before winning on penalties. Great entertainment and glad I found it to save me from pish that was on regular tv.

I definitely would have had Fraser in before Forrest but I suspect you are correct in saying that Clatke has an issue with Fraser. I also agree that he is maybe being to loyal/lazy with picking players he has used before instead of introducing new players. Maybe he will make changes post tournament. Agree with Orlando’s comment about squad size and can see this potentially biting us in the arse. Anyway ticket for all three games appeared in the app this evening. Getting excited now.

Ryan Fraser playing well for Southampton as they lead Leeds. 1-0 at half time. I would still have had him in Scotland squad. Adams only fit enough for the bench has to be a concern as well.

4-0 now. Raith’s plastic carpet was reason enough for them to stay down.

County 1-0 up on Raith. Rovers defence has looked shakey all season.

And this folks is why you should just say no to drugs.

Should have been 1 man advantage. Teach me to read what I am typing instead of watching Milan game.

Finished 1-0 Leverkusen. Kaiserslautern could not come close even with 10 man advantage. Some season for Leverkusen. All credit to Kaiserslautern fans who sang for 90 minutes creating a cracking atmosphere. Puts the bigots in our final to shame.

Leverkusen down to 10 but 1-0 up. Been good game so far.

Some atmosphere in German Cup Final.

Barron in U21 squad for upcoming games away to Turkey and Austria.

Given Rooneys’s record at Birmingham, Derby and DC United I assume the Plymouth board want relegated next season.

I hate them both. I want them to lose every game they play. When they play each other I am only interested in the result if one losing assists us but these games haven’t effected our league position for a long time. I don’t think I have watched them play each other for over 10 years. As for players from either side playing for Scotland if they are there on merit then I have no problem but when they are getting in to tick a quota box like Souttar and Ryan fucking Jack are then fuck them. How can either of them be playing for Scotland when they cannot even get a game today.

I am not watching either cup final just now. Hoping to find stream for German Cup final later.

I am stunned this has not been mentioned in another thread. I will go against the grain here and say that I am still not totally convinced by McGrath but probably not totally against him getting another deal. Still think he disappears in games when the team is struggling.

Cannot see that Hearts offer an early bird discount but not sure if missing that as their renewal window has closed. Hibs discounts below Look pretty similar to ours.

Prices are outrageous and only a complete mug would have renewed. Did mine today.

Fuck man you were told to keep that quiet as not everyone…….okay Rico hasn’t been invited.

I put it in the other transfer news thread. I was surprised he moved there. I know he has stated he wanted to move to England but seems a really odd move and is clearly more to do with money than career progression. A right kick in the stones for St Mirren that he would rather play at Bolton and Rotherham than play in Europe with them.

Great performance from Atalanta who completely outplayed Leverkusen. Deserved winners.

Some start for Atalanta. 2-0 up after 25 minutes. 2nd was a belter of goal.

Surprised at this one as looks better player than league 1 and one I would have had at Pittodrie.

Even with injury doubts Jack should be nowhere near the squad. He has been pish for Tribute Act and not kicked a ball since March. Sad thing is I suspect he and Souttar are in there as token blue bigots. Really hoped Clarke was above that pish but looks like he is not. 4 keepers seems excessive as does 6 centre backs. Couple of them have not played since March which is a concern.

Ryan fucking Jack!

Right back is definitely a problem. I would consider playing Tierney there even though on his wrong foot. McCrorie did play fair number of games for Bristol towards the end of the season so might be worth a go in the friendlies. Not sure I would be taking Doak or any player who is not playing first team football. That said we are really thin upfront and no idea who we can take. Luke McCowan with 10 and Bruce Anderson with 7 are top Scottish scores in the league after Shankland. Ryan Hardie at Plymouth with 13 in Championship for Plymouth might be a possibility. Ross Stewart managed 4 games at the end of the season after coming back from injury which probably isn’t enough to get him into consideration.
