JFK-1

Barisic crosses may become even more productive when he has Itten in there lurking. I expect to see more than one ball fly off the head of Itten and into the net from a Barsic cross.

I was keeping an eye on that but didn't want to talk about till it was done. I really think we may be better than them. I think we're proving to be better defensively for one thing. Last week the sheep who have to be rated as better than Killie managed 4 shots with not a single shot on target. Today Killie got in 6 shots with 2 on target. We have yet to concede a league goal. They have yet to register a clean sheet. It's a good start but obviously we need to keep this up and hope for them to slip up again.

I don't know how they do it, what i'm saying is that on the NHS Scotland and Scottish government websites it's stated they do track and trace. And in fact something like asking people in pubs for their name and details never even occurred to me. I was thinking along the lines of when they discover an outbreak centred on say pubs they would then acquire phone details of anybody who was pinging the relevant tower at that time and mass text message them. That's what happens in Oklahoma when there's dangerous weather bearing down on you and it doesn't require an app. But as I said, I don't know how they do it, i'm simply confident that they do it. In addition to that my thoughts were posting on social networking sites like Facbook etc targeting the affected area. Were you in any of these places at this time? Who was with you? And do you know anyone else who was? It's obvious they must have some sort of system, it would be crazy if they didn't. And i'm guessing they quickly tracked down hundreds or even thousands in Aberdeen since last I heard a couple of days or so ago they had identified over 100 testing positive.

It was ultimately just as easy as last week only real difference being a couple more goals. Some team is due to be on the end of a real thrashing from this side. Good way for Alfie to bow out if that's what's going to happen. Having a hand in all 3 goals is a perfect last page on his Rangers record.

Rangers 4 - St Mirren 0 FGS Kent

Reminds me of Defoe in some respects. Fitness fanatic, eats well, doesn't drink.

I'm glad he's confirmed it. We're now well covered everywhere else. Just one more could be the key to making them formidable. As for Alfie I would be perhaps not actually happy with £18 million but prepared to accept it in the circumstances. It's good business. I'm just getting a bit antsy about it and want it over with and the money in the bank. For that reason may be willing to accept 16.25 if it really is on offer. That too would still be good business. Enough to cover our squad additions with a bit left over. And that bit alone would be a significant sum to most teams in this league.

This is perhaps one of the best chances to reduce that GD advantage they have already accumulated.

I think there's going to be derision no matter what we get. If it's lower than 20 million there will be derision if it's 20 or more it will be spun into lies or the 20 million is part of his contract for the buying club. Outside the yahoos the sheep are proclaiming Cosgrove is as good as Morelos and if he's only worth 2 million that's all we will/should get for Morelos. Ludicrous obviously but whatever we get it wont be lauded.

I'm expecting St Mirren to be totally swamped by wave after wave of attacks. And may presumably resort to the standard kick, foul, stop them playing strategy. In their game with Livi last week there were a total of 32 fouls and 5 yellow cards between them.

Or maybe it's been a while since you said something relevant that actually means anything to this topic. Back to the old just talk and say nothing to be talking thing. I can't claim to be surprised.

Have to admit i'm getting a bit edgy about it. Would be tempted to take 16.25 if it is indeed on offer.

I'm guessing they must be confident they can get the asking price. Wondering if they're content to wait till another window to get it. I think I and most others were concluding that the moment Roofe and Itten came in Fredo was out.

You think I or anyone else needs to be in a Scottish pub to think of ways how in an age of mass communication they could figure this out? How they now have 101 cases at the last report? How they manage to come up with a figure of 30 pubs? Smoke signals? Maybe they're psychic? I wouldn't go for that but again, I will give NHS Scotland and the Scottish government more credibility than I would you on this issue. https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/coronavirus-covid-19/test-and-protect/coronavirus-covid-19-contact-tracing https://www.gov.scot/news/contact-tracing-information-gathering/

You want to google the NHS, because that's not what they say. I think I will lend them more credibility on this issue than I would you.

I don't see the league being halted unless there's a return to full lockdown. Is that likely? What may happen if we don't see more care than these sheep exercised being applied is a clutch of postponed ties or if games go ahead clubs fielding greatly weakened teams.

Well to humour this peculiar hilarity I did. Saw nothing relevant or remotely hilarious.

I'm presuming everybody they came in contact with has been notified and tested. Cases in Aberdeen have risen to 79 with more expected in the coming days.

BBC are saying the St Johnstone game is in doubt. So who knows. It's a lesson for the entire league if we're going to have any chance at all of having a full season. They can't pretend this virus is in retreat and we can all act normally. It isn't and it isn't going to be for a long time to come.

Anybody can take points from the yahoos on the day, and if they can't do it who can? It's like saying nobody can given they're rated third best. We want all sides who play them to be at full strength. Outside that I don't care about their problems.

Yeah, not as if it was retarded or anything during a global pandemic not many people know about. Just blokes having a laugh with workmates. Who could have guessed this might happen.

I don't know how many of that 8 are first picks but 6 of them started on Saturday and they also have Considine suspended. I would be livid if our players had put themselves at that kind of risk in an already injury and suspension depleted squad.

i was thinking along the lines of him possibly being sensible and not joining this pub jaunt they were allegedly on. Then being infected by one later. But I do deem that to be dubious. If there was a pub crawl I would guess he was there.

Hopefully the sheep struggle due to the sheer stupidity. Beaten in their first 3 games.

Supposedly the 8 affected and sent into isolation for 14 days. Puts me off Ferguson somewhat. If this list is accurate he's been stupid when everybody knows the risks of mingling in crowds. Though in saying that presumably he could have been infected by one of the others.
