No? Whilst there is some merit in what you say, how do we know he isn't ready if he doesn't play?

They're non committal on amount... They've said NO* one who wants to go will miss out so that's all that matters *provided you've travelled and not those who are part timers can't go for varying reasons

As the manager favours his rigid 4-4-2, he may surprise both fans and the opposition by playing Lionel Ainsworth off John Sutton and god forbid Fraser Kerr on the right. Unlikely? Lionel to remain wide right for me, so I would have Erwin as a starter. He is everything that McHugh doesn't seem to be - aware, willing to go beyond Sutton and behind their defence and very, very strong. As much as I like Carswell, I think Jack Leitch offers us something that bit more. Not blessed with blistering pace, but, a tremendous engine and willing to make runs beyond the strikers which we don't do enough. Dom Thomas will get you off your seats, of that I have no doubt. No daft comparisons to a 'Mini Messi' although it helps United land big fees, he's a maverick in the making. His defensive side looks OK to me in the three times I've seen him this week (I'd rather he concentrated on our offensive) but, Iain Vigurs looked like continuing his vein of form so unlikely he'll be moved to accommodate. Imperative we keep the back door shut, as much as moving Vigurs right, Lionel up top and Dom on the left may wet some appetites, it's not going to happen.

Youthful side on the end of a 3-2 defeat against Arbroath with 2 last minute goals for them. Leitch & Erwin impressive and some flashes from Thomas.

Sheffield United no bigger than Dundee United? Surely you jest?

Bit harsh? Offered a deal he couldn't refuse is the word. Her that worked her ticket knew this...

Out = John Porteous to Hibs. Been highly, highly rated for many years at ours...

And if we progress... We'll have more competitive games no? Whilst we're in the nice kind of limbo that happens to be Euro competition others can have their schedules filled, unfortunately ours cannot.

Planning on going to the Blue Lagoon upon arrival from Manchester then onto Reykjavik.

For one that doesn't quite catch the logic of Uefa at all, how does that work?

Get it right up you

Nope, why would they? Was this minuted? Not exactly Society business I would have thought... Anyroads, some not singing from the same hymn sheet as Mr McCall said last night 'we'll pay it' to others

While we are on the subject of last night, Josh Law, filling a role long vacated by his brother went off injured after about 20 minutes so not much to go on. He of the 'Nicky Law's a c*nt' song fame was there watching. Ghoul.

O'Brien type? Please Lord, NO! Definitely a maverick, looks as if he could open a tin of beans with that sweet left foot.

Only real downside was going behind to the early goal. Some strong performances against poor opposition as we look to tune up for the season ahead. Left thinking the kid Thomas will get crowds off their seats, been a while since I've thought that about one of our prospects. Be interesting to see how his future pans out, given there is no compensation clause like some of the sycophants on here would have you believe. It's felt he needs to develop his defensive side before being considered ready, I'm not sure how Ryan Gauld was coached at United, but, I'd wager defensive duties weren't high on a list of priorities.

As long as it's not kilt wearing weather...

What's the average temperatures... 12º-13º? Be warmer when we hit Torino in the next round at any rate then the new shorts can come out

This thread was made for decorator... Though, the glitterati are staying at the Hilton again this trip Planning the Blue Lagoon upon arrival for Junior & I.

We know she said no...

That would rule out decorator and the fair few we know are making the trip if it wasn't as easy getting in as it should be

That decorator fella has managed every tie in European competition ever (possibly pictorial evidence to prove this kicking around) and without the need to dress like a Christmas tree so I'll follow that lead Plan to speak to a daft laddie to see if he wants one of his latest creations showcased on the catwalk that will be Reykjavik. A rogues gallery if you like! 'Trendy not rowdy' you see...

Hopefully a pilot and some cabin crew! Sleasyjet, decent flight times to be fair which I can work around for £387 all in. Rail passes see us alright for travelling domestically.

Me and the nipper booked, Manchester out, Luton on the return.

The decorator's apprentice booked up for Iceland last week

Sorted that for you. As for trolling? I'd need to get up with the lark to beat you on that front...
