FWIW, I was talking to someone seemingly well-connected to the club at the game and it seems neither Paul M or SOD's injuries are as bad as previously thought and Longelo's is relatively minor. He was lounging athletically 🤣 in the POD beside Maswhanise, whose fee is still being haggled over, apparently. I thought Paulsen's distribution was fine, e.g. the build up to our penalty, and he came a long way out for a cross in the first half. He got burgled for their first goal admittedly but that's a lesson for him. Screamingly obvious that at the moment is that we don't have a natural goalscorer and it's rather worrying that our Norse Hammer isn't even getting a game. Totally agree with the comments on the dreadful seats in the POD: cheap rubbish. Unlike the old ones, they don't swivel so there is not enough room to let people pass easily and when you twist to one side and hold onto the back to help someone go past, it bends alarmingly. They won't last long when the season gets going.

A couple of chats over the week regarding Welshy. MFC were never in the picture, Aberdeen, Hibs and 1 other were, wanted to escape the west of Scotland gold fish bowl JBA wanted him in France, Toulouse signing policy preventing it.

My ST is in the bucket seats in the O’Donnell stand. I gather I have the option to buy a ticket for my ST seat just now and be randomly allocated a seat by the club closer to the game. Or hold off until Monday afternoon, when any remaining seats in the middle of the O’Donnell should be made available for purchase. I’m hoping to avoid the farce of the Sligo game where I was sold my ST season seat and upon arriving found the section cordoned off, leaving myself and others scrambling for a seat. The start of a very dismal night.

Our jersey reversed has been used quite a lot in the past and i have nothing against it but I often thought it didn't help much with some colour clashes and that our white "floodlight strip" was a safer bet. Is the petrol blue 1913 jersey we wore against Celtic our third this season then?

From what i saw tonight it look like the majority of the seats have been replaced (incidentily by cheap uncomfy plastic crap , not as good as the old ones) The only section i could see from my seat with the orihinal seats was above me to the left of the good padded seats in the members area.

I heard the away top is opposite to the home top which could mean this

Totslly agree with you on that one uncomfy cheap shoddy crap, basic plastic sests screwed to an unfinished plank. I know there was limited time to replace them but for me they have made a complete mess of them. Every other stand now has better seats than the pod, i know the options are limited with it but for me they have opted for the cheap crappy option and it shows, we should be getting a reduction in our ST prices for having to sit in them.

Great seeing youngsters but injury list horrendous and worrying ahead of euro tie. Forgot about Longelo, injured?

Enjoyed that. Genk are indeed a decent passing side and changed everyone but the goalie - who had a couple of great saves - and still looked reasonable. Not sure if Priestman is being set up to be the new Watt as Faddy seemed to take the ball more. There were flashes of good play all over the place pre and post the young boys coming on. biggest complaint. The new seats in PoD are brutal. So uncomfortable and the wood they’ve been attached to is not properly finished. I had shorts on and have cut and big scrape on calf when standing to let someone by. 😠

We looked okay we struggled defensively as you would expect with a young CM playing there, we need players in before Thursday but wither they'll be fit enough to play who knows. Our team v HB now looks pretty likely to be: Paulsen (He looked decent) Sparrow Girdwood-Reich (Hopefully) Moormann Wilson Preistman Fadinger Ross? Just Said RCC Vogt needs time to get up to speed. Thor didn't even get on so I'd be surprised to see him start. Whyte is evidently not a CB so wouldn't read much into his mistake. Of the young lads Thompson looked pretty decent, Booth was tidy and took his goal well and I think Hunter touched the ball once but his finish was great. Have we got any idea when/if we're likely to see Longelo, Stama, McGhee, SOD, JK, Maswanhise? McGinn and Hendry out for months so we know we're not seeing them Watt's move appears close so he will be off soon We've got what 21/22 senior players and only around 13/14 are fit and available for selection

A decent test with two youngsters on the scoresheet. It's early days but it looks to me like the game plan is to move the ball quickly up the pitch rather than the patient approach we watched last season. Time will tell.

It wouldn't surprise me if Celtic made a complaint themselves about this to be honest.

I only saw bits of the game but some nice passing going on. Looked pretty slack in defence. Some of the young lads look promising.

What’s with Longelo? Are we expecting him back? Has he been training?

FT

Well we're without our back four and the replacements that would usually be involved, so surely we're not doing too badly against a decent team.

Robbie Hunter. That's 2 Academy Boys scored

That was an excellent goal. 3-4 Priestman doing a decent job 'being Watt'.

4-3

We are stil playing it, but without a defence, no Sod, McGinn, welsh, and longelo is nowhere to be seen, Connelllys 1stctouch was picking the ball out of the net. Not where we want to be at this stage 6 days before a euro qualifier

4-2

At least we are creating and scoring.

That was a decent goal. Well worked. 2-3

.

Whats the style like? Are we continuing with jens ball or is that a distant memory?
