It's not as if THEY are that good...

VAR would surely confirm but he didn't choose to use it. Anyway, Johnston looks vulnerable to me.

They have 3 players on bookings. We need to capitalise on that.

Calm down. We can still save this. There is a mistake in all their defenders.

If we keep it to one goal we can regroup at half time.

My dream result is a Tav penalty winner in the 98th minute. Boy, that would sicken them. Our nerves might not stand it though.

He doesn't seem to be a full-time left back though? His name is sure to spark a plethora of puns though (just invented a new collective noun there I think).

Of course. Just that Sykesy seemed to be inferring that we should be signing players as if we were an EPL club, say. £4m is chickenfeed for a Brighton or a Villa but a lot for us.

Do you not appreciate how wide the financial gulf is between us and other clubs of similar status?

There's a position in Australian Rules football called 'Back Pocket' - I think it would suit Lammers!

I've read somewhere that he's not so much a centre forward as a wide receiver. So we still need a Shankland.

Get thee to a Turkish barber! Must be plenty of those in Glasgow.

Similar things were said about Boyd...

No need to be coy - he would be a great signing; left centre back which means we don't have to rely on right footers to fill the slot beside Goldson (although I know you don't like me saying that).

You should be embarrassed at harassing Gonzo!

Win our next game 3-0 and we go top on goal difference. That looked so unlikely a couple of months ago. Thank you Phil.

Wow. Amazing. Outjumping 'Caesar'.

Willy Nilly never kicked a ball for us and he was just as bad as all the other signings.

And he wasn't that tall was he? Must be one of the best headers of a ball per inch we've seen in the last 60 years.

Do you know how he was played at his previous clubs? Though you would think that Clement would know where he is best suited.

Probably because you've seen it fail so many times.

Not for me it ain't. I want to see us prosper in a truly competitive league. If we want silverware we could play 11 pub teams every season and be bored as hell. Didn't you get a frisson when we beat Betis the other night? I expect to beat St Johnstone every season; Derek Adams said the other day that the SPL is a hundred times worse than England's League Two (!) If we were to compete v say, Gothenburg or Bruges or Malmoe, we would have a competitive league which would in turn attract sponsors. And spectators.

Why do you say that? We rank pretty high with our coefficient right now. I'm not talking about the top tiers.

Would we have any chance of being involved in this? It's supposed to be based on sporting merit... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67787981

Pretentiousness is not new. Arsenal once had 2 forwards called Radford and Kennedy who were both good in the air. There was also a football writer called Brian Glanville who, reporting on an Arsenal game in which the tactic of pumping the ball up the two forwards was failing, stated that Arsenal eventually took the advice of the Button Moulder in 'Peer Gynt' and decided to go 'round about.' I frequently imagined Arsenal fans shouting, "Don't forget what the Button Moulder said, lads!"
