A team and a manager that gel as well as ours did last year is always a fluke to some extent. That's why we all knew we just had to enjoy it while it lasted.

Did you see the size of JBA's coaching manual? Diagonal exits were probably on page one.

I also see folk complaining (albeit on Zuckbook) that he was anonymous and they'd pretty much forgotten he was there. Probably one of the better traits a CEO can have if you ask me, but only if you're getting results I suppose.

And they're currently 2-0 up after 15 minutes.

There we go.

My main takeaway from that is that I've never heard of players who change hands for £40m+ these days.

We could always just stop fouling them and then it wouldn't matter.

Cookie!

Where's Ap Stam when you need him.

Has to be a pen surely?

Maswanhise!

We're unbeaten in the league with a 50% win rate, which is fine by me at this stage. I'm not even that bothered how we get on today, as we'll inevitably be a bit knackered and will have had about 5 minutes to work on any specific tactics for today's game.

Had forgotten that, like our new boy, he spent some time on loan at De Graafschap. Hopefully a good omen for JK...

They've leaned into the mistake on the club WhatsApp...

If everyone just blocked him he'd give up. Only time I ever see his guff is when people rise to the bait and reply to him.

There's zero chance it's happening, but I can still see it going one of two ways. Either they'll be happy knowing the job is done and look to cruise to a 1 or 2 nil win, or they'll want to put on a show for their first home game of the season and stick 6 past us.

I wouldn't want that either. Winning every game sounds dead boring, and leads to the sort of entitled fanbase the OF are blessed with.

Sounds like a pretty accurate tribute to me.

Here are the highlights on YouTube courtesy of HJK TV.

Only 2 * €175k, surely? Two qualifying rounds, then one playoff round...

Joe Hodge, as rumoured.

It's short for "tifosi", which is Italian for "attention seeking knobbery".

What's worse is that even though some of their decisions had major implications for who ended up winning what (and some of them were just petty/moronic/laughable/whatever), I'm sure the majority of fans would be quite happy for the SFA to wipe the slate clean and tell us what guidance and training for officials they've implemented over the summer to improve the standard and consistency of refereeing this year. But we all know how likely that is to happen.

If it's a couple of inches he's not doing anything wrong. The part of the ball that's touching the ground doesn't have to be inside or touching the line, the ball just has to overhang any part of the line. So in theory the part of the ball touching the ground can be about 4 inches outside the line and still be fine.

Tuned back in just in time to see HJK going 3-0 down midway through the second half.
