  1. Did you not bother watching the news when we were told day after day the number of people that have died due to covid, I guess not if you think its nothing to worry about. The plague killed tens of millions, covid has killed over a million worldwide so as its a lower number does that not make it as serious, have a word with yourself.
  2. Transfers between English clubs, specifically the premiership ones are nowhere near normal, they just add zero's to the end of the fee agreed, irrespective of whether the player is actually any good or not.
  3. Lamie gives me the fear big time, he has been brutal.
  4. Not a season ticket holder this year but watched the game St Johnstone game in Inverness with two friends who are and I have to say the stream was shocking. In this day and age it should not be difficult to stream a football match or any other event but there constantly seems to be issues and I have no doubt it it down to money. Cheap kit, cheap technology services, basic infrastructure all amounts to a shit service, a 10 year old sitting In their bedroom creating a tik tok video can produce a better effort than whats on offer now. If the current situation is to be the new normal this season then the match streams need to be rock solid, the season ticket holders and the PPV viewers deserve better, people won't pay for a shit service.
  5. Until we have a vaccine for covid or the virus transmission rates fall to zero or it goes away fans will get nowhere near a stadium this season. Yes there may be a few test events letting fans in depending on how much the ugly sisters moan about it, but I reckon this season will be fan free. The bottom line is that unless we get the virus under control or a vaccine the risk to public health is too high, not to mention the extra financial burden on clubs which could see a few of them going bust.
  6. They are the lowest ranked of the seeded teams we could have got so a good draw and a decent chance to progress
  7. Let's be honest Coleraine did us a massive favour by beating Maribor to get us seeded so I fully expect us to repay that favour by pumping them to book our 3rd round tie.
  8. Adrift of what, get a grip of yourself yes we are bottom but 2 wins and we could be up to fifth, its only 6 games in FFS, if we are still bottom with 6 to go then worry but not now.
  9. Murphy is one of the easiest players to defend against, he always wants to cut inside, so show him down the line and he is less effective, any decent defenders have him sussed. He has hardly kicked a ball in 2 years and the last thing we need is another winger, so all the best to him at Hibs but he was not for us.
  10. After todays results, we are bottom and i can see no change in that after the game tomorrow so the only way is up, but 3 wins and we could be 3rd so no need for panic just yet Turnbull is 3/1 1st goal or 13/8 score anytime with Skybet, might be worth a punt.
  11. SOD is one of the best right backs in the country so he should play nowhere else, hastie is better on the right side as well so yes put him in front of sod. So for me a 4-4-3 with ploworth, Campbell and Hastie middle 3 , Long wide left, lang and watt up top. Oh and Grimshaw is brutal just now should be nowhere near the team
  12. Y According to the official twitter its not available to stream in the uk
  13. Ok so now we have the 1st win of the season sorted its on to Celtic on Sunday, I honestly can't see anything other than a defeat, so I hope I am wrong. I might check the odds on DT scoring for Celtic as I think its a certainty if he plays, thoughts please.
  14. Bala Town or B36 Torshaven would do for me, if it is regionalised then Coleraine will be in there as well, and given there result tonight I hope weavoid them.
  15. I see Dinamo Minsk are out beaten 2-0 were they not one of the teams we needed to go out to get us seeded for Q3 if we win, who were the other teams?
  16. Not very often you will hear the following on this forum but Steelboy was right, the non Scottish players don't give a rats arse about the 300 odd years of bigoted rivalry between the ugly sisters. The players you mentioned were only ever at Rangers because they were being paid ridiculous wages every week, that were not on offer anywhere else, and tbe same applies to tbe likes of Sutton, wanyama and van Djyk at Celtic Only the Rangers and Celtic fans care about 10 in a row and the bragging rights it brings the rest of world football could not care less.
  17. Agreed they are a part time side that finished 5th in the NI league so we should be massive favourites, but this was the same story when we played Llanelli and Albion rovers, so a good professional attitude is required from the start. we have better players so I fully expect a comfortable win and a place in the 3rd round draw on Tuesday
  18. Suspect its Nothing to do with him getting injured and more to do with Celtic having him available for the europa league when they inevitably get dumped out of the champions league.
  19. If and its a big if, SR moves on or is shown the door I only hope we conduct a proper recruitment process and steer well clear of the the useless has beens like Tommy Wright or unproven guys like Lasley. We have been utter garbage since January but it is very early in the season and SR has earned the right to try to get us back on track, so the Glentoran game is critical lose it and SR is gone, if as expected we win that could kick us on to start winning again, so to paraphrase corporal Jones from Dads Army and Oasis "don't panic,,,least not today"
  20. At the end of tbe day you could play like Bayern Munich for 89 mins and then lose a late goal, so great play lots of possession etc etc is feckin irrelevant if you don't score goals. The stats will show we were beaten, no wee footnote telling people how unlucky we were etc so the team that wins the game is the better one .
  21. Pish the only stat that matters is who scored the most goals, so going by that Accies were the better team they won
  22. Lasley 100% to blame for that shambles, giving away 3 pens over 2 games, no excuse for that the fame should have been sorted at Fir Park
  23. All seated,, close to the pitch (grass only), fully enclosed ( Like Almondvale), good facilities, car parking close by, proper WiFi coverage in the stadium, that would be my wish list for a new stadium, oh and a successful team to play in it.
  24. £2 million is loose change down the sofa for a club like QPR to sign a squad player like Dykes, but if we manage to get at least that as a minimum for Turnbull it will be a very good bit of business. The club is in a good position ie we don't really need to sell unless its an offer we can't refuse so if its not we tell Celtic to jog on and we get to see his talents for the full season.
  25. Not in this life Uefa don't run football at the European level anymore, the TV companies do, they dictate the format. And the elite clubs who benefit most from TV are in full agreement and nobody give a damm about the smaller clubs.
