We've ~1m in the bank from Europe this season anyway. Stenhousemuir was an eminently winnable tie. Freiburg is in essence a bonus tie which, taking off C&A specs, is practically insurmountable over 2 legs. Obviously we all hope for the best, but you need to be realistic. Its akin to Hearts beating Benfica over 2 legs.

Of course Rangers and Celtic draw each other

Again, agree 100% with this. Raging.

100% this. Absolutely fucking fuming at that. The Freiburg tie is nigh-on unwinnable. We have sacrificed a potential cup run, months of anticipation etc. Out with a whimper.

Up there with the worst of Kettlewell, Hammell etc. This is our bread and butter. There is little prospect of us progressing in the ECL. Priorities massively mixed up.

There we go. Heding out of the cup. Unacceptable

Some very naïve play in this game. Making it easy for them.

RCC and Fadinger on Maswanhise and Hodge off

Longelo and Lowry on Said and Wilson off

Need to be smarter. Allowing them to turn the game into a shitfest.

Pitch is hideous mind you

Working fine on Prem Sports Player. Very poor from us thus far, although Hodge looks as if he will be quality. Tidy on the ball any lots of movement into pockets from him.

See Slatts scored for Sheff Wed today. ...With his arse no less

Said over on P&B, we seem a far more credible club now from top to bottom. Slowly eroding the 'plucky wee club' culture to become a more serious outfit. Is there any going back now?

Freiburg obviously levels above, but they won't have played competitively before we play - So a puncher's chance in the first leg. Tough ask over the piece though.

A very accomplished performance and never in doubt once Said opened the scoring. We said similar at points last year, but for large parts of that we controlled it like a 'European' team, or like Celtic domestically. Encouraging, particularly with the likes of Whyte slotting right in. Need to see a bit more from some players, but we're still early doors.

Goooaaalll Saaiiiddd AGAIN

Said with his new hairdo turning into Daniel Amokache

All about game management now

Interchange woth Lowry, drives into box then fires into right hand side of goal

GOAAALLLL SAIIIDDD

A Jens-esque performance there and the most 'like ourselves' we have been this Season. Good to see us keep the ball and have sustained pressure. Only missing a Slattery or a Just to find the pocket on the half turn between the halway line and their box. RCC is incredibly frustrating and Maswanhise a bit powder puff. Need to just keep plugging away though and hopefully it will come.

All the Premier Sports Cup games are shown by them I think, somewhere or other on their platform(s). Think we are streaming on the Premier Player on Sun.

Was the trialist not an Airdrie U19 player?

To be fair, can't really argue with any of Alfred's post-match
