I remember Jim Steele - he wouldn't last five minutes in today's game. Re Porteous, I think it was telling that SG said he was reminded of himself at his age, but whether he can sort himself out remains to be seen; at any rate there is the makings of good centre back in there.

Is there any Scottish club you don't hate, actually? (Apart from us of course.) Asking for a friend...

Still no Jack, even on the bench. Very concerning now. If Patterson excels, then whither Tav?

You would hope so but as you say we need to give the science as much opportunity as possible.

One of the best sights in football is to see a winger skimming past a full back and crossing the ball for it to be headed strongly into the net. Lose that and we lose a big part of the game. I'm not for a minute doubting the science, but surely the modern ball is far removed from the old bladder we used to play with - it was just that type of ball which led to the death of Jeff Astle.

Comparing Ryan Jack to Jim Denny? The latter was a poor man's Alex O'Hara surely.?

Dont you see what I'm objecting to? Kamara was the victim - booing suggests that he did nothing wrong. Can you imagine us booing a player if it was Keltic who had been in the position of Slavia?

Surely there will be repercussions, given that Eufa relented on their plan to ban spectators. Maybe they need to be slung out to get the message through.

Goldson has been missed at both ends.

That was disgraceful but children are encouraged by the adults.

I see they've trained their youngsters well; Kamara booed every time he touched the ball.

I thought we have been the better team. Was quite pleased until they scored. Can see why Goldson always starts.

That must be the explanation; he maybe wants to leave when his contract expires.

Yes, there must have been a reason he was a bit-part player for Aberdeen; we have just made him a much better bit-part player for us!

I hope we never sell naming rights. And if we must have sponsorship I hope any deal is with something more wholesome than booze or gambling.

I can forgive us losing to Lyons but it puts the Malmo result into perspective; Malmo went down 3-0 at home to Juventus. Roles reversed and at least we would have had a wad of cash to raise us up a level.

Right now there must be a huge question mark over Jack's fitness; although I accept the management rushed him back too soon and set back his recovery, the silence surrounding him makes me wonder if his career is threatened. We keep hearing.... nearly ready, back in full training but.... Anyway, I think Stephen Kelly is being groomed as the Davis successor.

Agree with most of what you say, except that I think Lyon are a top-drawer team. Denayer certainly conned the ref in a 'collision' with Wright.

Really disappointed. Why are so many of our players taking such poor first touches - again and again?

Ally is so annoying with his 'absolutelys'.

We're too tentative. Need to press in the final third.

Probably the strongest team we could put out considering....

How Jim Denny ever got into our side was a mystery; Penman, on the other hand, I always thought was under-rated.

John Nettles, now replaced by Neil Dudgeon. We watch it too.

That's a great description if I may say so.
