F.Y.I. https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/telling-us-you-dont-need-a-tv-licence If you pay a television licence it is because you want to. It is not because you have to.

We already can.

I'm seriously suggesting that it is a missed opportunity. Just like Moscow our opponents were not all that good.

Turns out I was completely wrong.

How decent was that side? Some of the misplaced passes were terrible. No shortage of them either. I spend less time laughing at SPFL jobbers.

I don't remember much skill from him. He had a terrible first half.

Just about every game we have played in this group has been a missed opportunity. Some decent performances but Barisic can't get fit quick enough. Should also mention that McGregor had another excellent performance.

This is the first time I have noticed that there are two rs in Villarreal!

I think that Morelos is going to have a big night tonight.

Careful now! Everybody knows the league is more difficult than a cup!

Why circulate such a load of rubbish?

If he really can't get a game ahead of Flanagan and Halliday then we should move him on.

Sadiq is not an enigma. Sadiq has never been an enigma. Mostly because he is terrible at football.

I'm not sure how the police prevent away supporters from leaving. I do know that they are not allowed to lock the exits though.

I think we would look to bring Alnwick back. Maybe time for McCrorie to go out on loan to the division below for a while.

This is why it never will be reversed. The anger among season ticket holders would be so great that the board would never consider it.

Pretty good performance all round. The gap in quality, between Morelos and Lafferty, was very clear though when one replaced the other. Should give Livingston some credit too. Even when 3 behind they kept working hard. This was a good win for us.

Boo hoo. Morelos gets paid enough money to learn how to avoid bookings.

I think he is a good enough option for back up at right back.

Newspapers are not the best source for depth of coverage. That's not an opinion. That is a fact. I think it is also easy to argue that newspapers are not the best source of information. Think about how often corrections are published.

Why do you say that?

Some might say that supply creates demand ...

I take your point about the teams already in the senior league. Even if I accepted the point about bringing through better youngsters, which I don't, I would still argue that it is a foolish trade off to make. No football fan is really interested in some abstract idea of aggregate, or overall, quality of young players in Scotland. Football fans want to know that when they turn up to watch a match that they can see their team win. If we keep structuring football in favour of big clubs then it will continue to decline as a contest. If it continues to decline as a contest then fans will continue to abandon the game.

I think this sounds very bad in principle. Youth teams playing in the senior leagues is designed to strengthen the position of big clubs even further. It will make Scottish football even less competitive than it already is. Also, if the highland league teams really are better then why don't they win promotion in the existing system?

Must only happen in the cheap seats.
