buster.

Ryan Jack is a very studious and careful goalscorer. He is almost always very deliberate in selecting what part of the goal to aim at and tends to go for precision rather than power. He should definitely spend more time around the penalty box than he once did and should be going for double figures next season.

I watched about half an hour of their first half against Kilmarnock yesterday, football wise, it was grim. I'd have been disappointed if a Junior match served up so little in the way of football. I hope and think their luck will run out next week.

In the wake of 'spitgate', some of the statements to come from the O.O. were actually very good, politically enlightened even (IMO). One specific being, IIRC was a suggestion, an offer to come together and stand against bigotry whilst on the march. It was an olive branch of sorts that didn't seem to be talked about or considered. I thought it the exact line they should be taking and that they should have pushed it further, forcing a conversation on it.

If you feel strongly about something then it is your decision whether to purchase a ticket or not and given what you say then surely it doesn't matter to you whether the allocation be 4K or 8K.

Barca IMO the point you are making about the comparison is a bit of a force-fit that doesn't really hold much water when held up to any objective scrutiny. I could say potatoes and oranges, but maybe it would be considered as a bad joke. What is your definition of a "follower" on these marches ?

If Cardiff take anything from their game against Liverpool today then you may as well give City the title. Wacky Fiver on Cardiff and Hibs @ 152/1

Two managers at Rugby Park yesterday (Kilmarnock v Aberdeen). Both have recently publicly commented on sectarian chants aimed in their personal direction If you measured BBC Scotland column inches, broadcast minutes or even descriptive language used by media/pundits..... Would it be editorially fair ?

It will always come down to the decisions of fans whether to buy the tickets or not. It's their cash, they make their choices and they should be respected. In this case, I simply don't think "hate" has anything to do with the proposal/decision taken by Bowie/KFC board. At the same level but I think with (mostly) different individuals, KFC were the only club not to vote us out of the top tier back in the day. It's their prerogative, there is no reason why they should bow down to us or Celtic,...but it obviously comes with a financial risk. It would be good for the Scottish game if more people can be attracted to games accross the board. Now whilst that is probably akin to swimming against the tide or putting a 4 team accumulator on at 32Red, it's their decison/risk to take and yours, to buy Killie away tickets in the future,or not. I reckon it may work for them in the short-term but give it 12/18 months, it'll start to go the other way and eventually we'll revert back to 8K allocations. By the time it were to happen, if we were doing well, we'd forget the rhetoric of today and fill it.

Are the New IRA a proscribed terrorist group ? If so, how come they are marching in the street ? When it comes to public order and policing, I'd say that you can't really compare Glasgow and Dublin as the former is very divided/potentially volatile on relevant subject whereas Dublin is mostly of one side. As for the guy who asks the question. Given the circumstances and who was involved, it's hardly surprising he got a reaction. I'm not saying they shouldn't be asked the question but there is a time and a place.... if you genuinely don't want confrontation. More generally speaking, the various parades and marching on both sides of this particular divide can be looked at in different ways... Freedom to express a culture and an identity...or ...the best way to start a rammy They are probably both. Out of interest, have the authorities in N.I. ever put forward the idea of banning them or at least changing it from marching through streets to a public meeting in one designated area, such as a large park ?

As it stands, unless there are injuries or a particular tactical switch, the team should stay the same. The last three victories have come against teams that didn't completely park the bus. The chances are Aberdeen will next week and it'll be interesting to see if the management team alter the set-up. Flanagan and Katic should keep their places, no matter the tactics. Katic needs the 4 remaining games to show the manager what he can do. Defoe or Morelos is now more a question of what way you want to set-up.

I feel for you ! Thought we played very well and looked like a confident team. That's a prile of 3's that includes 2 difficult away venues, Motherwell & Hearts. What we now have to do is get the results against the teams we've had difficulty putting away. Do that and it'll be a tangible positive to take forward. ps. Morelos starts on the bench for me. ps2. Morelos is still suspended next week so hang fire.

Flanagan deserves to keep his place IMO and I'd play Katic again. We've a poor record against Top 6 sides except Hearts, who so far this season have been our bitches Even Goldson is a prolific goalscorer against them. Looking forward to the game

From what I can see, your initial claim is wrong. Yes, our return has increased their average but home crowds have increased accross the board, including against provincial clubs, eg. look at their home crowds for those games in 2019 and then look at them for tha same months in 2017 (pre-Clarke). You are right in saying that stats can and are usually used selectively. What I'd point to with the link you provide is the minimum attendance (which obviously isn't anything to do with our visits to Rugby Park). There you can see a relatively big difference (% of attendance) and if you look at the time periods I refer to above, you'll see that the difference generally applies to most of the games against provincial teams. Your comparison dates back to 2010/11. When Bowie took over and brought Clarke to Kilmarnock, he faced a very different reality to that. We discuss Bowie and the financial risks he is proposing against a difficult reality but seem to forget to actively consider our own situation when it comes to our relative financial reality/risk taking, within the current state of play.

Went through my head but on balance I thought it was more MRI scans that was our frustrating thing.

I was just about to go with Zak,...finish with the future

X is for Xavi,...won everything in the game except a game at Ibrox #0-0 ps. Starting XI included Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Messi, Xavi & Henry and they drew a blank Cannae believe Walter Smith didnae get onto the list, who filled in the S and the W ?

W for Wallace,...Jock Wallace

Unsurprisingly, the problem would be financial. It's obvious where funds are being directed at the moment and why. The other obvious problem is if the next 2-4 years weren't to go well then that waiting list would most probably vanish or in other words, it would be very dangerous to base such a large investment on a waiting list. I think we'd be better to consider it if and when we get over the immediate on-field hurdle and progress into CL group stages. Another, both on and off-field (financial) aspect to consider is our youth development and a timescale as to when it starts to produce quality first team players.

A bit early for the pessimistic slant on the window that hasn't yet opened. To win the title, what we'll have to be doing with most players we sign, is improve them and put together a team that as a team can compete, rather than a collection of individuals with a pre-ordained glass ceiling. That is one of the reasons I think we shouldn't go for too many old legs on the downside of their career. We need most of the team to have space in which to develop, grow and as per business model, eventually produce a net financial benefit. Souttar and Hastie on a Bosman would, IF we could get them,...fit well with the above criteria. --------------- I don't really understand the Stewart signing but like many others, I guess that's just a personal judgement. What gets me is why not make an effort to get him on loan back in January for effectively, a 5 month trial before giving him a long term contract....Thing is, we also needed a Number 10 at the time. It would have been cheaper than bringing in Davis and on balance given respective match-fitness levels, the specific last third creative requirement at the time and the need for immediate performance, made more sense.

Pep is Messi dependent and thinking about it,.... Eck was the nearest to bringing the Argentinian King o Fitbaw to Scotland.

WT heck is the vertical lineal pattern all about ? Looks awful in cartoon type image.

S is for Struth,...Bill Struth

It certainly helps the podcast. Derek Parlane is a very good interviewee (heard one a good few years back now).
