Aye, and pick it out Buffon!

Marius can carrius.

Rossco has not hit (!) the heights of previous seasons, but surely he has still been our best defender this season, even if that's not saying much. Proctor on the other hand is a lightweight utility player who didn't make the grade here last time and didn't make the grade at Utd even when they were sh1t. I don't think there's any doubt at all who our best right back is.

A valiant 0-0 :007: But then Ukraine beat France :party01:

Under Brew we got a few excellent performances followed by a few poor ones. Anyone who can reach a yes or no conclusion based on that is a genius or a fool! :024:

Not so long ago you were heavily implying that Niculae was only getting picked because of contractual obligations. :024:

My view at the time was that the Scottish tabloids hyped it up so much, with "savage animal ruins life of promising Scottish youngster" kind of thing. Shades of St Mirren/Kerr/Tokely. The severity of a bad tackle tends to be determined by whether your team's player is the victim or the perpetrator.

Ganea? IIRC that one wasn't remotely in the same league as some other horror tackles, such as last nights.

That's very harsh. :32:

Congrats to both parents - although Papalazaroo's contribution to the process was short and swift!

:023:

Sounds like we were OK today, after a terrible start.

They are very lucky that the draw first announced did not have Celtic v Rangers. Can you imagine the conspiracy theories if they tried to change that one!?

Wouldn't that just lead to twice as many howlers?

Good luck! This sounds like a good bit of fun, so credit to whoever came up with it.

It's purpose is to encourage the development of youth and home grown talent, and IMO there is no doubt it is working. The rule is the same for all teams, and is good for Scottish football. I've got no time for managers moaning about it.

He's no tactical genius, but seems competent enough in that area. Giving motivation and belief seem to be his greatest strength so far.

At least 3 non-league sides in the next round then. And a very interesting north-east derby.

Nobody ever really complains when the penalty taker scores, but did Wyness not take a pretty poor penalty? If the keeper had gone left it looked a guaranteed save : nice height for him, and placed half way between the middle of the goal and the post. Or did Denzil just decide it was Tony Caig and it didn't matter where he put it?

Granty then McGuire I think. Can a double 1-2 be called a 2-4?

One of the most pleasing aspects yesterday was that we finally kept a clean sheet in the SPL.

I really hope Fraser does well today.

That's bad news, he's still our best striker IMO. However, we need to learn to live without him sooner or later. He was never going to be a long term option on the pitch.

:015: Come on, 2 ops at least!

We were not hapless, we played well enough to take at least a point. The howlers at the back would not have been prevented by having Rankin, Morgan or Bayne in the team.
