Finished 2-2. Also see the World club cup semi final was tonight. Real Madrid beating Al Ahaly 4-1. Final is on Saturday.

Think he was but left after Cormack became chairman to do a role at UEFA.

Officially announced. Don’t know much about him but did think a CEO to get between Colgate and the football operation was the right move. Now for a Sporting director to select manager.

Yeah that would be a concern but that could be the same for Knutsen, Bekke or Cifuentes if they start well.

Against a rotten Motherwell side. One of those who looks good when team are on top but disappears when team are doing badly.

Probably to nobody’s surprise Leeds sack their manager.

Not really January window but Coulson signs contract extension with Middlesbrough. https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2023/february/06/hayden-coulson-pens-new-deal/?fbclid=IwAR1fjHJe14GT6cngiMpFe-foNZo13ODMvGmsXSKTGMsYfLWD2B76T5-R7KY This summer there should be no loans unless there is an option to buy. Fuck developing other teams players. ETA - Not that I would have signed Coulson as a left back anyway.

Barcelona v Sevilla is on ITV4 tonight.

Milan derby this evening.

Think I will reserve judgement on defence until after next couple of games. Being down to 10 in first and Motherwell being incredibly bad in the second mean I don’t think we can judge either way yet.

3-5-2?

This one.

It’s the same refs who were making mistakes before that are doing VAR. No idea why folk thought it would change the decisions. As for McCrorie I will go against the grain here and say I thought it was a red at the time so not surprised the appeal failed.

And only one in U17 squad. Alfie Bavidge* Aberdeen Bailey Rice* Rangers Bobby McLuckie Heart of Midlothian Callan McKenna* Queens Park Cameron Bell Rangers Dylan Smith Ross County Gabriel Forsyth* Hamilton Academical Jacob MacIntyre* Hibernian Josh Dede Celtic Kyle Ure Celtic Leyton Grant Rangers Lennon Miller Motherwell Lennon Connolly* Queens Park Murray Campbell* St. Mirren Mitchel Frame Celtic Owen Hastie Hibernian Rocco Friel* Heart of Midlothian Rory Mahady Leeds United Rory Wilson* Aston Villa Ruari Ellis Kilmarnock Rudi Allan-Molotnikov* Hibernian Ryan One* Hamilton Academical

Only one Dons youngster names in U16 squad for up coming games. Scotland Men’s Under-16s Squad Calum Adamson Rangers * Aidan Borland Celtic Ben Brannan Kilmarnock * Sam Chambers Leeds United Ollie Ecrepont Ayr United * Ronan Ferns Celtic Tyler Fletcher Manchester City Matthew Gillies Heart of Midlothian Finlay Hale Celtic Alfie Halliwell Rangers Josh King Leicester City Josh Landers Hibernian Joshua McDonald Hamilton Academical * Aidan McGinlay Partick Thistle * Callum Penman St Mirren * Lewis Pirie Aberdeen Cameron Scott Rangers Gus Stevenson Heart of Midlothian Kyle Thomson St Johnstone James Wilson Heart of Midlothian Jack Wyllie Rangers

Was always a long shot. Especially with VAR having recommended the red card.

Queens Park confirm they have been booted out the cup. Inverness now play Livingston in the next round.

You have to be in position for someone to dribble past you.

Apparently McCrorie’s appeal on the red card is being fast tracked and a decision will be given today. Cannot see it being overturned so guessing that is him out for next couple of games.

Bosnich back on the ching again?

2 goals in 90 seconds to put Madrid 2-0 up.

Not a great first half. Madrid with a goal disallowed by VAR only real highlight.

With club appealing McCrorie’s red card will he be available? If he is I would look to keep back 3 from Wednesday and play Scales at left wing back. I would also play Barron instead of Ramadani. Still not convinced Lopes works being on from the start. Motherwell are as big a shambles as we are and also in desperate need of a win. Think whoever loses this is probably in the shite as far as relegation goes. Usually when it’s a game neither can afford to lose then a draw results. oot flat local game flat 0-0

ITV4 showing Real Madrid v Valencia tonight.
