I don't think you needed to add that, it's fairly obvious, he's blatantly a cunt. I just don't think this videoing of players and provoking needs to be encouraged. I find it equally as bad as saying the f word.

Hence why I said "entrapment-like" and not entrapment. As you say, he's a thick Hun cunt, so it's hardly fair to play a trick on the guy, record his reaction and then be outraged by his response. It's fucking horrendous banter at the very least.

Remorseful he was caught in a fairly rancid set of circumstances. Bigot or not, shite like that shouldn't be seeing the light of day. Who does that to people and then plasters it across the internet for the enraged twitterati to pile on? I don't feel sorry for Lafferty of course but it doesn't say much for society that we need to feel outraged by a thick footballer. Entrapment-like justice feels a little hollow. I'd rather he played so we can boo him for the mulgrew incident and for being a cunt.

It's a big Island I suppose.

For me, Hickey is way better than Patterson. You could see it in the opening Ukraine game, I actually think it was a bit of a blessing that Patterson went off as we could definitely have lost a goal down that side. I've said it previously, Patterson reminds me of Hutton. Not a great footballer, but athletic and gives everything. Hickey can play football and is very aware of where he is on the pitch, hence a better defender. He'll play at a high level for a long time. Patterson not to be sniffed at of course and a fantastic backup to have. Hickey will move seamlessly to left back once Robertson retires and Ramsay moves into right back. Ramsay has the potential to be better than both if he fulfills it.

But then you'd have to take your family. Unless you sell it as a scouting mission prior to the family holiday?

and Porteous.

Some result, and a great performance all things considered. World nation's league champions. Amazing.

And the fucking rank, miles offside but play on shite is fucking tedious too. Horrendous rule changes. Adults too childish to admit they got them wrong.

Fucking VAR has to go, it's fucking awful. Never a pen for Scotland, but because the ref gave it, we don't get the subsequent corner and it's a drop ball. Ref makes a mistake, Scotland punished. Fucking anti football pish.

Got a YouTube link here, but you have to go to Kiev to watch. Commentary actually an improvement. https://en.uaf.ua/article/46407

I think he's a decent player. Gallagher cheated us far more. Anywhere to watch this for those not premier enough (I take it, it's not possible to pay a one off?)?

It's been an interesting week or two. The spivs will be loving it Soros-style that's for sure. It's not an overnight phenomenon though, this has been decades in the making. Truss and friends are just the culmination of corporate ownership of politics finally thinking it's time to fully take over. The timing seems a little off it has to be said, but I wonder if they thought that this might be their only chance (for another 4-8 years of course). Expect the blame to be shifted to Russia, immigrants, part timers and benefits claimants for the 800th time (and people to once again buy it) and for the only path out to be the further sale of UK assets and services to the private sector. To be fair to Truss, she's doing what she's paid to.

I don't think this thread should have started until after the international break. Bad luck. I thought Taylor was suspended.

Is it not quite traditional to have a job before retiring?

Dykes and Adams both fall ill, paving the way for the return of Oliver Burke?

Kingsley is a great player, McKay not so much.

Great result. Strachan would have lost us that, as would many managers before. Good resolve and a deserved win. Tuesday will be tough with a few out by the sounds of things. Taylor and Ralston a definite downgrade. McTominay, I think, suspended.

Never an international footballer....

68, I was just informed by text as I was reading this by an equally surprised dandy. Mental.

Miovski scores in his nation's 2-0 loss to Georgia.

There probably aren't any available right backs better than Ralston and he's not as good as Hickey is playing there. Doig is a very good player in my opinion and as good an opportunity as any to get him involved in the squad. Having to choose over having a third choice left or right back probably isn't a decision Clarke spends a huge amount of time on.

Other than our game, he's apparently been very good for St Mirren, who are doing well I suppose. I'm very much for players in our league getting called up if they're on form and Clarke has generally been quick to do so, so even though I was glad to see the back of him I think it's fair enough. Right centre back is a problem position for us it seems, hence likes of Kingsley at the diets not being called up first. That's more than a little biased.

A quick Google search suggests he's making Joe Gomez, whoever that is, excited, whatever that means.

Not before time, Dons legend, Declan Gallagher recalled to the squad (and Josh Doig).
