While I've bought the odd training top over the years I haven't bought a home or away shirt since the 91 cup final. I took a punt on this one though and it arrived today. No sponsor helps make it a belter.

Keep Donnelly away from the pens and Long away from the direct free kicks and we have chance.

7:30am kick off is a bit rough though.

Sky probably haven't told them yet. We all know who the winner will be in that argument, though. Telly comes first.

Must Sky's new game. I wonder if that will screw up the PPV option.

Aye, I posted about that in the other other thread. Not only putting themselves and families at risk, but the entire SPFL programme. I'd quite happily award the points to St Johnstone (and any other team who has their tie against Aberdeen cancelled).

There's a bit about it in The Record. Apparently Poland, Greece, Hungary and Cyprus have offered stadiums with travel corridors to allow games to be played in neutral venues if necessary.

Are they moving it to put it on TV to replace the cancelled Aberdeen game?

And this is the difference between fit and match fit. None of the strikers looked like they were sharp enough to take their chances tonight. And Donnelly was never going to score that penalty. Would be better if match threads were behind closed doors too, though.

Never been a fan of Donnelly taking pens. He was a bit lucky with a couple last season. We've got so many good ball strikers in the team letting Long take direct free kicks and Donnelly take the pens is a bit crazy.

It also looked like grimmy was having a nightmare to you, after 5 minutes.

Long taking one touch too many there. Should have scored.

But not a foul.

Looking good here. No commentary, but that's not a problem.

Stream is up an running. Hope the team is too.

Would be hilarious if, after all the "stop the 10 in a row chat" either us, or any other team, pushed them into 3rd spot.

It is for me. Can't speak for Texas, though. They might have banned it because they don't want their freedom taken away by the SPFL covid protocols.

The money on offer makes the EPL a ruthless place to work as a manager. The fact that many clubs are owned and run by sketchy billionaires who aren't averse to dodgy deals (or worse) just adds to the ruthlessness. The upside to being a manager there is, if you get sacked, the payoff from your contract will probably be more than most of us will earn in a lifetime.

Ah, fair enough. Down with UEFA and their anti-hoopist policies!

It starts when the all the players are younger than you. Then it's the managers that are younger than you. Then you see the surname of a player you recognise and wonder if it's their son - and it turns out to be their grandson.

I know I'm getting old and nostalgic, but the old guard of sports commentators and presenters (Archie McPherson, Arthur Montford, Des Lynam, David Vine, Harry Carpenter, David Coleman, Bill McLaren, Ron Pickering etc.) were never bettered. Probably because the training ground for those guys doesn't really exist any more. Even David Icke was better than most of today's lot, and he's a certifiable loon.

I never understand why they insist on having ex-players as presenters. By all means use them as pundits, but being the main host of a programme, like most jobs, is a skill that takes years to learn and needs the talent of a seasoned professional broadcaster.

Is the offical reason for our kit not having a hoop actually due to UEFA regulations?

You can do that when you are a big team with brand recognition that is going to shift a load of kit (and gets paid for wearing it rather than having to buy it). Having said that, technology is catching up and it probably won't be too long until manufacturers can produce custom shirts for an economical price.

Donnelly has "right back" listed as one of his positions in wikipedia.
