That's usually just manager (and club) speak for "he's negotiating a move, but we're not telling journos about it until it's complete" Minor niggles always seem to happen to players who are about to leave.

Brilliant from JBA 🤣

I've only seen it once from behind the goal, thought it was a stonewaller tbf.

A tough fixture but one we have to play hope they go out get in about their faces. Mon the well

While it was brilliant to beat them at Ibrox I just think that beating them at Fir Park in front of the home crowd especially next Saturday first game of the season, lights on (probably) would be that bit better and more satisfying. Can’t see it happening though.

Latest from manager,lennon may play,don't understand the situation,he apparently had a minor niggle but hasn't played any of the games.

Stama

I thought setting off pyros and bringing them into a football match was against the law, club operating rules and regulations etc but now we have the stewards standing watching organised displays ffs.

I left at HT, so I’ll keep my assessment to the first half: Nick Walsh is a useless prick. Stama spent nearly the entire half glued to the centre circle. He needs to offer far more movement and presence up top. He’s a penalty box striker and that’s it.

I saw quite a few people being turned away as it was full.

Guess who’s coming for dinner? 🤣

Hopefully fact they are playing in Europe before they play will help. Also we have beaten them past few seasons so nothing to fear.

In the phraseology I think. Not a free hit as such but definitely not expected to get any points should be a good test for us to see if we can maintain our Passing game under pressure and not regress back to hoof ball. We have to believe this is the way forward and persevere and improve. I think if we can be confident in our new identity we will reap the benefits. Playing one of the OF first should make it seem less frantic playing “lesser” opposition. If we can get a couple of new faces in the door to strengthen defense and attack this could be one of the more Enjoyable seasons in a while.

The gaffer said

A good summing up. I'd rate Hertha as being somewhere between Hearts/Aberdeen and Celtic. They didn't look 100% match fit though as fans of German football on here will know. A draw was a reasonable outcome as we finished strongly after a slow start. We played some good football but too often the final ball wasn't quite right. That might come. Fadinger and McGinn were my MOTMs. Now onto lessons learned (again some might say). We lack physicality in midfield and up front. To me, Watt, Fadinger and Slattery are all a wee bit similar and we need a solid physical defensive midfielder in the battle zone to halt central midfield runners in their tracks. How will Just fare against the likes of the Gogics, O'Haras and Devlins of the Premiership world? Ap Stam ran his socks off but to no effect - he is a penalty box striker, possibly a good one, end of. We need a big target man up front. Tonight I thought our passing from midfield to set up attacks was a bit slow. All too often the chance to catch a retreating Hertha was lost due to dilatory decision making and execution. All that said we played not too badly. The new style will take time to implement. Hopefully speed comes later. Hertha had some decent players and I liked the look of Toni Leistner. I believe we only had 4 subs due to another team comprising young players, fringe players and trialists(?) playing Hertha's B team this afternoon. 0-0 draw from what I heard. A good workout and not your usual friendly.

No. Looked for it. Couldn't find it - not well signposted. Gave up and went to the Cooper bar - apparently the turnout was decent though

Did anyone visit Mrs Baillie tonight? What was it like?

I’m hoping highlights go up soon so I can see the goal and get another look at the pk

Indeed - he must go. He's scored two in two games - sell him

I'd be selling Stama, all he does is score goals FFS

Club 100 was completely packed tonight over 500 fans inside and the Cooper was really busy. No away fans in the Cooper - they maybe didn't know they could have got in. I couldn't get in club 100 so went to the Cooper

No complaints from our players so makes me suspect ref called it correctly

Keeper kicked the attacker. Another keeper may have dived on the ball to smother it but then he would likely have got kicked.

Technically you could see they were better but got to say how many direct shots did they get on our keeper ? I think we handled them reasonably well still plenty room for improvement but going in the right direction. Still a wee bit too over elaborate in and around the penalty box but that is a minor criticism. Excellent turn out from the Hertha Berlin fans btw.
