Kilmarnock weren't very good on Sunday but they won. You can only beat who is in front of you. FCSB beat POAK away from home last time round and they are second in the Greek league at the moment. Several places above Olympiakos. That suggests they are of a decent enough standard. 

I agree with your premise, but last night FCSB were missing several first-team players. They were not very good. 

 

A full-strength FCSB is a different proposition. 

 

Fortunately, we don't need to worry about an away game. 

[Rousseau 10,464]

Dessers and Lawrence contribute very little if they don't score goals.

Regarding the handball, if the player had slid in the same fashion between the posts to block a certain goal and the ball accidentally hit his arm would the ref have awarded a penalty?

 

can't work out the difference.

Interesting to listen to McInnes last night talking about Dessers. Said his movement, runs etc were essential for our goals. 

 

Not for the 1st time, McInnes analysis of our games is refeshing and insightful.

 

EDIT - thought that Lawrence had a very good 45mins

So were we, I'm sure they decided to rest a few players, their choice.

The sooner we replace that pair, the better.  Nowhere near good enough if we want to challenge for the title.

We supposedly accepted 2 or 3 offers for Dessers during the summer but he wanted to stay

Lawrence’s contract is up at the end of this season

A good win and a decent display make Barron captain now .

Saw somebody else make that comment on the BBC comments section. Unless it was you? Agree though he could be a future captain.

It's not a handball if the ball hits a bracing arm. 

 

That's the rules, iirc.

If Clement is still here he will get Lawrence a new contract , which would be mental.
