A fogey, yes; a reactionary no!?

I think this also proves that we need to have representation on the SPFL Board. How do they get elected? It is ludicrous that the biggest club in the country is not represented. Would this happen in Spain or Italy for example?

I detest all these silly-name online 'companies' with their even sillier adverts. If we are going to be sponsored by the car industry I'd rather it was by a more traditional player. Unless - we were being offered a huge amount. Which we are not.

Rankings aside, are they really likely to be tougher than Benfica or Porto whom we have showed up well against?

Suggests to me he has more of a future than Jones or Barker. Though he doesn't seem to have developed since his transfer.

Thanks. I think that should be the last word.

How many of you know that this is World Ranger Day? https://cites.org/eng/World_Ranger_Day_2021#:~:text=31 July 2021&text=Whether it's in tropical forests,other forms of wildlife crime. Nice touch from Livi to form a guard of honour. (Certain other team take note.)

I presume you mean because our co-efficient would leapfrog theirs? It ought to have done so already - that's the fourth season in a row they have gone out before the season proper has started.

Difference here is that it's the Scottish League we are talkiing about and most of the teams likely to challenge us will be unable to hold on to their key players. Keltic are doomed, an embarrasment to Scottish football; I expect them to lose to Jabonec and possibly also to Hearts as well. Aberdeen may well be our nearest challenger this year. I don't care about our points total - just win the league so we get automatic CL qualification. I'd rather we lost a couple of league games in exchange for a cup victory or two.

I thought they looked good v us - just couldn't finish - and since then they have signed Ben White and Saka is a real star IMO.

Definitely. Though I wouldn't have him at left back to start games.

I remember him well too. Maybe not what we now call a superstar, but a good reliable professional. Hope his early demise was nothing to do with his head injury.

I'm sorry I will try not to in future. You are quite right! ?

Looking on another forum, it seems that many fans accuse Jones of having an attitude problem and therefore wish him gone. What evidence do they have for this, apart from the covid breach situation (when he was not the only one involved, and I thought that had been dealt with)? Must say, in the pre-season games he looked all right to me. Can play on either side and has pace.

I find this odd; surely the club, as his employer, would tell him when he needs to report back? So odd that nobody tells SG when his return date is.

It is actually. We are playing the name only. A far cry from the time we only lost 1-0 to the great team of the sixties.

Kelly is a superb passer. His performance and the safe return of Katic the highlights for me.

Oh I am but I get annoyed when my phone opens up on google with info. from such as 'Vital Rangers' and 'insider' etc.

I wish to God we would see an end to this Joey Veerman saga: either sign him or keep Kamara for another season. Either would do me.

Of course it should have been boycotted but too late to change it now, I fear.

Why do Scottish clubs keep getting drawn at home first? Is it this season that we don't count away goals, anyone know?

I thought we did all right against the Arsenal actually, when you consider just who was missing. I don't think we will meet a better team in the qualifiers.

'Colemanballs' - 'Joe Jordan has pissed a late fatness test and will play.'

That reminded me of the time David Coleman referred to Asa Hartford - without irony - as a 'whole-hearted player.'

You talking about their goal? Taveres definitely controlled it with his hand.
