He was terrible. I'm OK with refs letting a bit more go this season, but it has to be applied consistently. I don't even think you can credit it to clever coaching. The fouls Falkirk were getting away with were pretty blatant at times. Nothing sneaky or crafty about them.

Where did that official line come from? Not The Well Society I'd imagine (the actual club owners). Raise it directly with your Well Society representative. I'm sure if enough people do that, there might be some positive action taken. Maybe use some of the UEFA prize money to fix it.

Of course it's stupid to look at league tables at this stage, but we've already moved into 3rd place on our own.

I think players are physically fit enough to play Sunday - Thursday - Sunday, but I think the disruption in training, the days spent travelling and not being able to discuss tactics for (what is to Alfred) a new opponent, took its toll today. In particular, neither Said nor JT up top look likely to score. Still unbeaten though and not conceded a goal at home, and Moorman is a big part of that - so he gets the nod from me.

The Conference dip? Need some shooting practice before Thursday. Positives? Still not lost a competitive game. Now take your pick...

I don't know about bullying, but every season I'm surprised by people who want to judge new signings (or youngsters) on a couple of appearances. I always quote Arsene Wenger who said it takes 6 months for a player to get up to full speed for a new team in the same league, and longer if it's a league in a different country.

Mika Biereth scoring for Monaco to make it 2 - 2 against Liverpool in a preseason friendly.

Not very dark, just blatant fouling the ref is happy to ignore.

Ref quite happy to let Falkirk away with constant fouling, but as soon as they fall over it's an instant free kick.

Wonder if Paulsen requested his "All Black" kit.

Falkirk wearing white today to avoid a clash of colors.

I must have been watching different games. From what I have seen he as become fitter and more effective every game he plays, and has great feet. He's not up to full Premiership speed yet, but you only get that through game time.

Watching Just (playing well) in the Swansea game makes me happy after the daily "Celtic/Rangers must sign" stories we had to endure over the summer.

Wonder if Elliott is on 14.5 million per year plus 20% image rights sales?

It doesn't matter who ran on the pitch first, last or in between. You aren't allowed to be there, and the club is likely to get fined when you are. It's not complicated.

It was interesting listening to Halliday recently pointing out the differences in Alfred's approach compared to JBA while, as he said, "keeping the DNA". Specifically, he mentioned that JBA loved to overload a side of the pitch, while Alfred seems to prefer wide players hugging the touchlines. I'm already onboard with Alfred, but if he manages to win this one I'm ready to give up my possessions and join the cult. He's already calling Falkirk our nemesis, so he knows the score. Also, as pundits go, I enjoy listening to Halliday as he obviously loves his tactics.

Still no idea what the squad will look like in a month, or how the season will pan out, but difficult not to be pleased with how it's started.

It's the classic Euro strategy, although not as effective now there is no significance to away goals. 1) Score draw away from home 2) Two goal victory at home

Still unbeaten in competitive matches.

I think we need a deeper MOTM poster squad. Far too many games every week and too many long names. Helsinki today, Helsunky tomorrow? (I don't even know what that means, but I'm at work and it's the best I've got) Take your pick...

Is it too soon to ask for the "away goals count double" rule to be reinstated? If you'd offered me 1 - 1, I'd have been fine with that.

Saving him for the big game at the weekend. We're so huge, we rotate in the middle of Euro ties.

Need to bump up JT's goal stats to keep his transfer price high.

I bet it's Maswinhese. Are we all in different stream delays because I seem to be ahead.

Glad we kept Cookie on. What a player...
