I'll never forgive him for missing the sitter against Brazil! (Although, the first Scotland strip I got as a kid had his number on it, because he was my favourite player). Even the greatest teams need balance in the midfield. Probably the best I have seen was in the French squad of Tigana, Giresse, Fernandez and (the disgraced) Platini - nicknamed The Magic Square. Fernandez was the defensive ball winner. Tigana was the box-to-box. Giresse was a ball player and Platini was as good at scoring goals as he was at taking backhanders.

That's why you need Slattery beside him. It's all about the balance.

The biggest problem about being a ref is that the people smart enough to be good ones are smart enough to never to be one in the current environment.

Glad I had to work, but sounds like we Hibs'd it. Take your pick...

I'm not surprised Wolves want it scrapped - they have been on the wrong end of multiple VAR mistakes this season. Can only hope we scrap it too, but not holding my breath on that one.

White shorts have certainly been by far the most common colour from the 1890's until the 1960's with the only other colour occasionally used being black. Amber shorts didn't make an appearance until 1968 and claret 1973, so very much the newcomer.

Apologies in advance that you're never going to unsee it.

I like what they do, but could live without the fake film scratches on all the vids.

Maybe he'll do a Levein and appoint himself as manager.

David Gray caretaker for the 4th time in two and half years. That must be some kind of record.

Rumours that they want Kettlewell starting in 3.2.1....

For me, that announcement would need to have happened around 1994.

If he hits 20, we should add another million to that price. Ideal scenario, of course, is he signs and extension with a release clause so we get another 6 months or year out of him before he moves on. 5 or 6 goals for Canada this summer wouldn't hurt either.

The fact that Kelly has Casey, Blaney and Butcher giving away half a dozen free shots and headers every week certainly hasn't helped his cause this season. It's no coincidence that keepers play better when the defensive players are functioning well as a unit.

It certainly is. He had a bit of a struggle establishing himself at WBA, but good to see him there as a regular starter now.

On the plus side, was a fantastic piece of business for us. Picked up on a free, got a season from him, then sold him for a tidy profit.

I wouldn't be surprised by a draw, but I would be surprised if we kept a clean sheet.

4 against Livi, 5 against County, 6 against Hibs?

100% McGinn gets pass marks this season. Few others do.

A draw in tomorrow's game would keep us in 7th on GD.

I like the new tactic being used to not get hurt by soft goals. Score 4 or 5 up the other end

Bossed County. Once you've discussed why Spittal shouldn't be starting, take your pick...

Happy to report no retraction necessary.

I have a hunch we'll win this one today. I think the fact that County are needing to win will keep the competitive edge in our game too. Fully prepared to retract this statement at 5pm right enough.

I'd be delighted if they just avoid the curtain patterns they like to print on every shirt fabric these days. (but I know that's not going to happen).
