'Rassa' did he say? I thought he was Clark Kent!

Has he been mentioned in gossip, Frankie? We certainly could improve him, like we have done with Wright.

Worrying about Jack. I wonder if that's his season over?

I'm disappointed that Glenn's lawyer hasn't made more of the fact that Kudela ran fully 30 yards to whisper his bile through cupped hands; there was no need for him to get involved. It was a pre-meditated race hate crime and should be treated as such.

Number of times they kept getting home draws in the Scottish Cup was unreal. At last the spinner of the Fates seems to be smiling on us.

I just hope we can hold on to Kamara and Barisic. No one is irreplaceable but those two come very close.

Now I get you but I think John M. was just trying to show that both situations had a common denominator which was that they both attracted an equal amount of obloquy.

If you mean that all international sport (between nation states) should be ended, then I concede you have a point. George Orwell said as much in an essay after the Moscow Dynamo tour of Britain after the WW2.

Then - will you explain it to us lesser mortals?

Yeah but the four nations also complete separately in a tournament, so that would be nullified if an all-Britain team was to be imposed.

Can you explain why it's not analagous?

Agree. I cheered Scotland beating France at rugby as it pleased my Welsh mate as it meant his side won the six nations. What would happen to rugby if we had an all-British team??

I'd be uneasy with that. England would be happy as they would just start calling it England. But what about Wales and N.I. - would they want it?

Norway the other night wore t-shirts attacking Qatar's human rights record. I also remember being dismayed when Scotland played a friendly in the Chile football stadium where Pinochet murdered hundreds.

I think it's up to Eufa to do that, no?

Don't get why it would have been intentional. Could it not just be that they weren't up for it mentally after the emotional turmoil? You can be sure if our league title depended on this fixture our approach would have been much different.

"Stonewall" penalty! ??

I'll take the draw; it's understandable the players were a bit under par after an emotional couple of days.

Great piece 26th.

While the messages of support are all welcome I wonder what we would consider an appropriate punishment from Eufa: a fine for Slavia they will brush off as it will be recouped from their next Europa League tie. For me, at the very least, Kudelj must be given a one or two year ban.

Quite. Clear case for their own Hate Crime Bill to be implemented.

In 1972 we were banned for two years by Eufa for events beyond our control. Slavia have total responsibility for the conduct of their players and they must be urged to take action against Kudeli. BTW I'm not suggesting Slavia be banned and us advancing in the competition; we were fairly beaten.

Well, they did give us a lesson in how to press the ball.

Now that is good news.

As regards the game for the first time I'm questioning our tactics. Maybe we need to move away from our 4-3-3 now and then; Slavia outfoxed us with their game plan.
