buster.

Misc. useless fact I think he was manager of the team (Valencia) when we last took a point from a CL group stage home game.

Reliable as ever, Bill ! I see you are doing more of what you usually shout about,...ignoring me. But then Mr Walking Contradiction has a reputation to maintain. Whilst in the same post, helping to prove an observation I made about you a few weeks ago.....that you are yourself, often exactly what you are calling others out for. In this case "pathetic" has to be pretty much what you'd call your attemped dig towards me. Pathetic Walking Contradiction (PWC)...have you anymore room to fit that in with the description below your username, that incidently you must have happened upon whilst doing some of that contradictory ignoring of me.

Who knows ? Mibbes she knew, mibbes she didnae. The most relevant part of this for me is getting Lafferty back on the rails wrt football, or perhaps that should be preventing him go off them.

Agreed but as a club who are looking to get the best out of a player on the pitch, I think behind the scenes we should try to get to the bottom of it, help where and if possible. On the pitch he has been going fairly well, looking lean and with a decent attitude. SG desperately needs his second centre forward option available and firing....so the bottomline will be doing whatever he considers best to not have a spanner thrown into the works. A short, sharp word in his ear from SG may be considered enough but will probably only kick the can down the road a bit.

Aye and it lends to an approach that really goes for it early doors and catches them cold before they settle.

Coming off a European match (injuries or not) and without our two centre forwards will have the sheep fancying their chances. Thanks to the Morelos yellow card against Ayr United, we've basically got to find a new way of playing, with very little preperation time to work on it. It was in the opening league fixture that I saw that Gerrard and his staff were capable of thinking on their feet and his players capable of making a new approach work. This gives me a degree of confidence that we'll come up with something that can work.

I don't think it reasonable to expect a 22 year old girl to block or seriously discourage a relatively famous footballer. If it developed into a stitch-up to make money then it followed a not uncommon path which footballers or other people in the public eye should be more than aware of when engaging in social media. The more fundamental question is why did KL go down this dangerous path when he has a young family and knows of the pitfalls of sending pics of your tadger to the whole world. It suggests he has 'issues' of one kind or another and may need some help.

9 League games 2 against 'big teams' = 2 defeats 7 against 'diddy teams' = 7 wins 'The Aberdeen of England' They have Liverpool at home on the 3rd of November, when we'll get a better idea of their progress.

The only thing MS is bothered about is being proven right. It's an example of what the internet/social media has helped bring to 'debate'. Polarisation generally tends to be at a higher or more extreme level and it's often the need to be seen to be right that is more important to the protaginists than anything concerning the subject matter.... However, all you ever get is two or more people shouting at each other. It has become very easy for the powers that be to deflect, divide and get on with their agenda. Trump is probably the best instigator of it.

No problem, it's a positive that you are now self-aware of the need to act upon self-awareness for it to be of any f**king use

You can have your self-awareness, I prefer seeing a reaction on the pitch.

You said it was "well said" by Durrant, are you saying you aren't very smart either ? It was stupid at all levels. Durrant and those who thought it a good idea to post the footage online. Thing is, the ONLY THING the F the P line does is that it enables the other side to point at us and shout bigot. It also helps avoid any debate in areas where they are much weaker. The powerful lobby that the RC church have behind them is difficult enough to take on without handing them countless OG's.

All round stupidity.

A bit early for the newspaper articles on his comeback. Time to work hard and get some gametime where possible. Good Luck to the lad.

Makes our preperation wrt tactics that bit more difficult, opposition become more unpredictable.

The pass from Morelos is perfect and for me is as good as the finish. Not forgetting the flicked pass from Ejaria to Morelos. Three bits of quality.

A wee aside on some future opponents. Just watched goals from St.M v Killie and Dundee v Liv.,....7 goals, 6 from set-pieces.

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.
