After a great result you are guaranteed to have to read, or listen to, some exaggerated rubbish. This tweet caught my eye because of the language used. Football fans appear to picked words at random and I assume that this is how 'colossus' was selected. Surely the author is not alluding to the comparitively short time that the colossus of Rhodes stood for. It also reminded me of something stupid that I heard earlier in the season. During a match I heard someone explaining that he would be happy enough if Goldson left for free in the summer. Apparently he had given us value for money and there could be no complaints. I recognised the sentiment. I had heard it on the Heart and Hand podcast before hearing it in person. I had even repeated it myself before realising how wrong it was. Goldson will leave with best wishes if we win the league this year. If we don't win it then I expect his last season will be a source of irritation for many. Similarly I'm not sure how many will queue up to listen to him talk about this win if we don't finish the job in the home leg.

Plenty of bargains but use of the name 'Goldie' is most un-Struthian and quite unforgivable.

Relying on Ryan Jack's fitness is a bad place to be. I hope he has turned the corner with his fitness.

This could be a very happy day for us. It's just a shame that some reprehensible characters in the away support had to ruin it with a half and half scarf.

Haha! What pressure?

Was that handball from our last match against them?

Dortmund waking up I think.

Do it Baz!

Haha, great news. Aberdeen need to think very carefully now. Another poor appointment could see them sink into a relegation playoff.

No idea what this gif is meant to imply but I am just going to get the facts about the match from TransferMarkt. That might sound ridiculous because it is.

Didn't bother to watch this match but I saw some footage from a couple of the goals. It looked terrible with the lenses covered with water. It's probably still a better view that you get from the side of the pitch in Annan.

Regarding the formation it is clearly a 1-2-3-4 Van Bronckhorst wants Helander to be the sole defender with Sands and Davis playing double pivot in front of him. Then we have Ramsay, Wright and Diallo all in attacking midfield roles. Finally up front we have a STRIKING PARTNERSHIP of Roofe and Sakala. Zukowski and Barisic will be wingers on either side. Then again this might be a load of rubbish.

The same is true for three at the back. Various galaxy brained contributions on the topic will persist regardless.

The winger conversation again?!

Is this the same fellow that people were talking about selling in January?

Amazing! Lets start a poll to rank Transfermarkt, wikipedia and the football manager games. After deciding which one is best we can all agree to ignore them.

Now you want those players ahead of Kent! It has been reported, for years, that Kamara plays further forward for Finland.

The justification is pretty obvious if you watched the last two games. Are those alternatives supposed to be better?

Oh right, so you just disagree with our valuation of the player and it doesn't have anything to do with decency. If so then fair enough. The correctness of the decision, like not selling Goldson, will only be known when the league is decided.
