Great Balls of Shire

I waa hoping/ thinking that we won't lose many goals this season based on what ive seen so far . Obviously we lost 2 goals from set pieces last night but im wondering if that's just down to their delivery etc. I haven't seen enough of Celtic so far this season but I dont see anyone apart from them to get too worried about. Hoping for another good season, definitely fancy us for top 6 and hopefully as good as 4th again. I think Scottish teams lose a Euro spot this season so will be tougher to qualify but fingers crossed.

The reasons it wasn't worth risking these players has been listed numerous times, so wont list them again, you dont need to agree but its well wide of the mark to say there were " no reasons"

As you say He didn't give up one cup for the other, his hand was forced. Some fans dont want to see the reasons, just want someone to blame. Like them we are disappointed too but acknowledge the situation.

Jba team didn't set the Heather on fire initially , we have lost 3 top players from our midfield so does anyone really think we should be as good as the team that finished last year. I dont think we will lose many goals next year so that may balance the loss of our midfield. Some Fitba fans love to catastrophise as well as be unrealistic

I dont think up until the last few years I appreciated how much of a leveller a plastic pitch was..the one on Sunday was the worst ive seen and shouldn't be allowed at senior level...good luck to Stenny , use everything to your advantage

Yep, me too but lets be honest, that came out of nowhere a bit too, so you never know. That was back when it was 11 Scots v 11 Scots mostly , the Glasgow crowd have got it so sewn up now. Maybe last year was our chance , you've got me agreeing with you now but Jens didn't do much wrong. Swings and roundabouts innit.?

Every club is a selling club but the players have to be good enough..no way we could've held onto just , watt or slattery they were too good. However we need money to tempt these guys in first place. This Euro run will get us a few bodies in, im sure. Anyway here's hoping for better run in Scottish Cup, might not be as congested a period in January and players back

Fair dues

I dont know if he misjudged the opposition, but maybe didn't appreciate how bad the surface was, I dont think it helped any of the young players with lack of physique.

It's not often we are going to produce a lennon Miller or eli just, could be a good few years in fact

A million gor not even getting into league phase of conference ain't to be sniffed at

Yep, wanted a run in LC but ive sat in Hampden car park enough after semi final defeats to not get too worked up..if we get turned over v Freiburg, it will be against a proper team

Did I not just say runs in Europe make us money which allows to buy better players?

I care how much we earn, the more we earn the better players we can buy , the more successful we can be. I think today and some other games have shown that the young players probably aren't going to make an impact just now, if im honest, apart from white and connelly, will they be good enough?

If we somehow manage to do anything v Freiburg, its been a gamble worth taking. It's very unlikely but if we had lost players for Thursday people would say mgr should have rested them v Stenny. The league Cup is a Diddy Cup, Europe whatever happens is going to make us at least a million so its hardly worth f*ckin.

Gonna brush that one off

Matthew Connolly looks good tbf

One of the reasons I dont go to away games is that fn drum but if you're into drum based rhythms, it'll be heaven

Why risk injury though and when are fringe players going to get a chance? They're should still be enough there to beat Stenny. I wouldn't be happy if we lost a key player for Thursday, going to need everyone at 100% and that probably still won't be enough

There was still a guy next to me in east stand moaning in first half I dint know if its nerves but bloody he'll, give your head a wobble . Longelo was getting it for missing a chance in first half. I get they pay their money but nerves/ negativity transmit onto the park I moved for 2nd half and it all worked out

Tell tale sign if someone is on way out, belting up tunnel with towel.

We have lost 3 of the best footballers in the league last year allied to playing in Europe. It's no surprise we didn't look great, think there'll be a few games like that, that's where you're hoping for a scrappy win or not get beaten..JK got to do better with that chance , even if he sclaffed it, ut mightve gone in

Does " block e" have a membership card? It was mostly young guys who could potentially cost club money, hee haw to do with a " narrative " . Keep doing the good things, stay off the pitches and off the flares , it will cost club

No, I was made in a factory middle aged....im only semi joking when I say bring back national service....Where's my daily mail? If they can take a telling , no real harm done but when and if it costs club money, I get hacked off.

That's it , they care more about being the centre of attention than they do about the club. Personally I could live without the tifos( still dunno what it stands for) and the drum etc but can accept it brings atmosphere. The other stuff is just attention seeking knobbery.
