You might get away with giving a team a 1 goal start , but 2 hmmmmm

This season has all the hallmarks of 1998 , a very decent squad playing below its level , managerial upheaval midway through the season , the inability to shake off a poor Celtic team . This season is far far far too important to go down the project route , we need stability , a manager who plays or his football philosophy is the same as how we currently play , and a manager who would get the respect of the players . Van Bronckhorst ticks all the boxes , plus , and this might cause a bit of discussion , I would argue he is a bigger name in European football than Gerrard , certainly more successful .Though that’s really neither here nor there .

We are simply not able to string to games together of any decent quality , it’s so so weird .

This ref is rank rotten , you can actually see him giving decisions before they are played out

I believe Goldstons omission is due to him having Covid in his system from when he was positive a few weeks ago , he is clear to train and to play , the issue arises from him not being able to fly .

We really need to break out of this lethargy we are playing just now , we need to up the tempo when we play high tempo , no one can lay a glove on us , that we are getting dragged into these brutal dig fights is mental . Given that Dundee never really threatened bar a couple of headers , we need and can do so much better , Thursday is going to be massive for us .

Game of 2 halves , first half we played some great stuff , 2nd we were poor , terrible ref performance coupled with equally poor linesman , however if we don’t kill teams off that’s what you get .

This is a really difficult one as I am in a very small percentage that though we were really poor , might be , as I said last night , due to my seat and viewing angle ,but there you go .probably just Balogun but that’s just because I like voting .

Ok some thoughts, after eventually getting in because my QR code wouldn’t work , and getting really good service from the ticket office , the guy printed out all the tickets in paper form for me , from 15 mins on I thought we looked ok , neither team looked spectacular and both were quite pedestrian . However if we , quite rightly praised Tav for his goal last week , the Lyon boys curler was top drawer , the bend he got in that was unreal . I was sitting in the Copland rear and after the main stand for so many years it’s hard to get any form of perspective depth wise on our play , we certainly lacked width for long spells and our tempo was way way off , something we always struggle with , our tempo is slow we play poorly , Europe or domestically . We also were guilty of taking an extra touch every time , allowing them to close us down quickly , I’ve seen a lot of comments praising Lundstram , from where I was sitting he and the rest of the midfield were awful , Kamaras worst game in Europe , however that could just be my bad. I was convinced Roofe had a 5 match ban , that’s how out of it I was , anyway it’s over , we need to improve and , all I really really want for Xmas is for us to spend some real money on that midfield .

So this shambles looks Like proceeding , yet somehow it is even worse than first imagined , those outside of Scotland who are double jagged , have no way of getting their vaccine certificates read and therefore will not be allowed access . So no fans from England or N Ireland then , what a mess .

Just a heads up for those unaware , anyone who has a season ticket and is a Mygers member and is also on the ccs scheme , can also log in via mygers and book other tickets on top of their ccs one .Ok.

Think Monday is the public sake for the Europa league tickets/packages , if the non season ticket Myers members haven’t hoovered them all up . Nota dig at Myers members before anyone starts lol ?

Fantastic result , decent performance , just as Tav hit it I was screaming at the Tav for him to hit the back post , goes to show what I know lol . Hope big Phil is ok otherwise Thursday could be messy , don’t really feel comfortable with Simpson just now , looks far too light weight for me .

The vaccine numbers are very very high , given they are shutting vaccination Center’s it simply doesn’t square , also they have made a complete dogs dinner , using a Californian company to run the mailing has been nothing short of a shambles , one they have tried very hard to keep quiet .

the non season ticket mygers members will buy them as it adds to their mygers points does it not

over 91% of over 18s have had their first vaccine and over 82% their 2nd , simply do not understand this over reaction by the SNP, they must know the reaction they will get

No manager , no captain , no first team goalkeepers , no fucking problem . Rangers 1-0 Barcelona

Yeah probably , would like to see Sakala get a run at this mob , even 10 minutes

Yesssssssssss big Phil , much better 2nd half

Patterson is out due to being a close contact as deemed by authorities , however could play midweek by UEFA , club have been trying to get a reason why since they were told but cannot get anyone to explain it .

This group will all be about application , how badly we want to win , all the top teams know how to get the job done , we should be well versed by now , especially matching the Thursday , Sunday schedule , how Celtic manage theirs is another matter .

I actually think Morelos is more suited to the deeper role , rather than being up top on his own

so just to clarify , 1st place automatically into the last 16 with other group winners , 2nd place team plays one of the Champions league 3rd place teams for a last 16 spot , 3rd place in the group plays a conference team and the winner progresses in that competition .

Unfortunately it isn’t that simple , we need other teams to step up , we also want them stretched by Thursday , Sunday’s like we will be .
