Said has made this vote easy, but could pick 7 or 8 tonight. Lukas covered every blade of grass and moorman is a real find. Best performances in a well shirt from JGR and lowry also. Shout out to olly whyte as well btw - solid when he came on.

That would have likely pissed people off, but definitely feels like the most sensible solution. Even just accepting a reduced capacity stadium (by what... 2k?) for all euro ties this season, take a year to map out options and engage with fans to implement a fit for purpose solution. We wouldnt be losing out on that much gate receipts surely? Very much has the feel of a panic/ rushed job which tbf is uncharacteristic of the board recently.

Cheers mate, I'm sure i will - win, lose or draw!!! Especially if its a win 😂 but being realistic, would love to have the tie alive for the home leg - would certainly take a draw and an electric fir park on the 13th 👍

Great post mate, but just wanted to touch on this point from a different perspective. Said I think is a tremendous talent and technically one of the most skillful players i've seen at FP. His close control is unreal. I know what you mean about some decision making and simple things not quite working at times, but personally i'd rather watch him week in week out than not. If AJ can help with these small things we'll have one hell of player there and he's still relatively young is he not - 23 or 24? As an aside, was speaking to a hibs supporter at my work who said he thought RCC caused them a lot of problems which was interesting to hear. Maybe we don't give him the credit he's due or have higher expectations given his experience/ past with ross county in the league. Onwards to Helsinki! Buzzing as it will be my first away euro trip with the well after regrettably missing euro adventures in the past for various reasons. COYW

That is a very good point - reading the uefa requirements back, that is exactly how it reads... I really hope that was clarified before going ahead.

The uefa guidelines are published here: https://documents.uefa.com/r/PxVtjcYr9Ntgwd0wYgq2xw/VwP_y6GYxRLIkBHXeSU3uQ Skip to article 18 for the seating criteria. For stadium category's 2-4 the 30 cm backrest thing is a requirement. Stadium category 1 is not sufficient for certain stages of the competition, so brian is not just saying what he has to to appease fans. I agree that it is a downgrade, and its solving 1 problem while creating 2 or 3 more. Frankly, its a bullshit requirement. Will take it as gospel that there was no other seating options, but it feels as though shifting most of the pod stand to the south stand for euro ties would have been a better option. Personally i can deal with the uncomfyness, but getting in and out is a mission. Here to stay though - only 90 mins every couple weeks 🫠

Pretty much the youth team from about 50/60 mins. FWIW thought the young lads gave a decent enough account of themselves. Plenty energy but a few errors costly, got up the park a few times but outmuscled in the final third. Thought #34 at centre half looked fairly confident in our style of play.

#29 and 36 as well maybe, i cant keep up 😂

3 nil now 🙈 Quite a few young lads on the park now though so much less experience... most notably for the 2 centre halfs. Not sure of names but numbers 34, 28, 35, 30

2 nil, misplaced pass from watt on edge of box intercepted

Olly white is on... for fadinger maybe?

Above post sums it up nicely 😃 nothing much else to note tbh. We've not looked particularly sharp so far, slow start but came into it a bit more as the half went on. Standout has been their left winger. Mikey booth came on for stama (didn't notice till after it happened, so dont know what the reason was).

I've got it on the ppv. Looks like a starting 433 of: Connelly, jonny k, sparrow, sod, mcghee, fadi, priestman, watt, ross, RCC and stama 1-0 down about 10 mins played

The way I look at that point is he's got to where he has despite not having the fame or influence of playing at a high level plus the doubters that come with that. Not many do that, so he surely has something about him. Welcome to Fir Park 🙌

I can't see past Hanley over Welsh tbh... Welsh is continually overlooked for some reason. Agree re Miller - the midfield is our best area, suspect he needed a stronger last half season to be included.
