Regarding McLean, it's the basics that he gets wrong, and how he gave two goal-kicks to them in quick succession in the first half baffles me. Butland tipped Maswanhise's shot onto the post, then Ratkin (actually did really well) headed the ball off the line and behind under pressure from two of our team.

Gabby Agbonlahor is a worse pundit than Eni Aluko, so there's that.

SoD and McGinn played well, Priestman had an excellent half, but Welsh gets my vote.

It was a bad tackle, though. Can't argue about the red card

Gordon will get thrown up front for the last ten if we're chasing the game.

Maybe they have, Maswanhise has just been announced as G4 Player of the Month, so maybe the finances are all settled for this season.

I find it a wee bit peculiar that the club haven't made any comment on this.

But then we'd need someone to book them for timewasting when they're procrastinating on a decision that they don't want to make that negatively impacts their favourite team.

Priestman for me today. Slightly different different kind of midfielder to Watt, but fits into the system just as well.

I'm just wondering if that's JBA asking the team to sit on a lead and see the game out as practice for playing against the big teams. Can't see any other reason for such a poor second half.

Said's been poor, needs to be replaced. Maybe give Nicholson a shot. Edit: also getting fed up with the commentator mispronouncing his name.

Just reading that Riku Danzaki has been banned from playing football in Australia for seven years for receiving bribes.

Similarly - as an online fan - whenever I watch games at Livi, I don't understand why they leave their main (?) stand almost completely empty. I looks really crap for the TV cameras, why not at least pretend to the world that they've got a decent crowd in by moving a section over there?

Just for context, Bodø Glimt are allegedly after £7m for Kasper Høgh - 25 y.o., good goal-scoring record in Norway and in the Champions League - so I think that Maswanhise is below that valuation. If we can get roughly the same fee as we received for Miller, I think that would be acceptable

Called it.
