buster.

Patrick Roberts was treated like the preverbial wonderkid by the Scottish press and Celtic couldn't afford him at the end of a long loan spell. The fact was that his parent club were never going to use him in their first team and now he can't get a game for Girona in La Liga lay bare his actual level which seems to be fairly comfortable in Scotland but not in more testing conditions. I think Ryan Kent might well be in a similar boat apart from him not getting proportionate attention from the media. - Good for us - Not good enough for Liverpool (no disgrace given at what level they operate) - Too expensive for us to buy him The Gerrard/Liverpool link seems to have concentrated the minds of our loanees from Merseyside and they are contributing much more than the average loan player. This is worth a great deal and we should enjoy it whilst we have it. Games such as this weeks EL tie against Spartak is where Ryan Kent has to really shine if he wants to make Klopp sit up and take some notice.

Dedicated with unfashionable levels of integrity..... #OldSchool

2010 was when we last played European group stage football. Qualifiers are a half-way house you have to get past first.

"Poor performances dressed up as acceptable" would be just words aswell. The bottomline here is learning lessons, getting the message through to the players and them doing the business on the park. Self-awareness that isn't acted upon is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Words are cheap because they don't seem to have listened to themselves post the Livingston match.

1st half when their player was going to get away from Tav, he clearly pulled him back.

No we aren't. Sometimes we get breaks, other games we don't. They should have had a penalty at 0-0.

Today we condensed it into 10 minutes.

Tav has got more league goals than the 9M Celtic forward. Second top of the scoring charts. 6 Naismith 5 Tav 4 Various (including Morelos and Lafferty)

I think we know how tomorrows Sportsound will pan out...................

Extra 4 for me with last kick of the ball Well taken Alffredo !

Three away points but the problem is definitely still there.

How good is Tav at penalties

It's been coming !

What's happened to Coulibally ? Touch like Ross Tokely.

We didn't look like scoring until they ventured up the park and left some room in behind. Great finish from Kent to take advantage of the space. We got away with a penalty and a handball in the build-up to our goal so it's almost Livingston level of performance with a different scoreline down to Hamilton not being Livingston and us getting a couple of decisions. This isn't about the pitch, it's more we've simply been poor. ps....and Alfredo....you've been kicked to f88k but don't do anything silly.

21 minutes in ad this is Livingston style guff

Pity, you might misst a sighting of the lesser spotted Umar prowling about the opposition penalty box being supplied by an Albanian flying machine, who'd be given the ball by a young scouser on the comeback trail. #Collectors_Item

I'm unusually very confident about today and that's as far as I'm looking.

DB is angling for a televised ID parade where everyone parades their tadger.

I've never seen projections like this ever come to fruition on messageboards. As WTDado says, one game at a time..............

A footballer posting pics of his tadger on social media,..........whatever could go wrong ? Lafferty is one of these footballers with a self-destruct buton. The problem here might be ongoing domestic issues that don't do him any favours for his football. SG and the club can support him but can't tell Mrs Lafferty what to do.

EPL tends to be a difficult league to predict games apart from the likes of Man City v Burnley, in which the bookies aren't giving anything away (saw a price of 1/14 for the home win ). On a sidenote, good to see Newcastle at the bottom. If the likes of Brighton can pick up 3 points from St.James Park then the MASH Machine is in real trouble.

No faffing about today. We need to get out, do a professional job and win this game with something to spare. If we get the win, it'd be the first time SG has enjoyed 3 consecutive wins. #DWDDWWDWWDDLWDWWLWW

We should know by now wrt Mr.MASH/SDI, that what matters is the final result, not selected paragraphs.
