Wow. We have four players with double barreled names. Four! How posh are we?

One even has a hyphen!

...Argue all you like but the bloke made his choices to ignore segregation....

 

"Segregation" - still demanded in football but yet nowhere else... its even becoming illegal to segregate toilets now

OK so I humbly apologise for suggesting Ukrainian colours would be a nice sign of support.

By the same logic, someone is going to say that making a donation to Ukrainian charities is also reprehensible as both ineffectual and just for show.

Maybe volunteering for the Ukrainian army? 

Just imagine the fantastic PR for the club if we played in the Ukranian kit on Saturday...

So why was it in black and white?

 

Presumably because the game was only available on the red button.

Just hoping to break the monotony of the 3 promoted clubs get relegated, while the 3 relegated clubs get promoted.

Signs are ominous it could be the same 6 clubs this season as last..

And we moan the club can't afford new players....

We have been really unlucky this season.

If we didn't have those injuries, if all our games finished in the 89th minute, if referees gave more balanced decisions, if we ever got a penalty, if the league had deducted points off teams at the top of the table not ones at the bottom.... then instead of mid-table mediocrity, we would be looking forward to defeat in the play-offs.

Robbed.

You can say what you want about the standard of Scottish football, but playing against Dortmund in front of 40k fans and that atmosphere and doing the business has to be respected

I am with you on the low standard of Scottish football.

Beating Dortmund isn't exactly impressive. I don't even know where Dortmund is. Somewhere in the Highlands?

I was disappointed by our bench at the point leading up to conceding the late goal.

Why the hell didn't Vyner sprint on to the pitch and clothesline their striker? Yes a straight red  but we are still left with 11 men on the field.

Basics.

Always found it strange that most clubs have very little or no parking. Would be a good earner. I know you can’t have parking for everyone (20,000) or more is out of the question but a well run multi storey on site on a first come basis would be good . 

Good luck getting out of that bad boy at full time!

If only there were a disused railway station nearby that could be brought into service...

But the match shirts carry a gambling logo?

Not for kids.

I was primed to sprint on to beg for Kallas's shorts  but felt a hamstring go at the advertising boards. Gutted.

I am colouring in a sign for Tuesday night asking for Kallas's shorts.

Seems like JL seemed to think the ‘sell players for massive money’ gravy train was going to go on and on. You just can’t use that as a business model, especially when the recruitment was as poor as LJ/MA. We could all see that we were running out of talent to balance the books....

It is a model that has worked consistently for Brentford, Southampton, Peterborough....

It can work. But as you say, we are #### at it.

So best case scenario an £8m income top up for the summer eh??

I bet Watford, Norwich and Burnley will be worried their £143m parachute payment won't be enough to compete with us next season....

Sorry, but if Oliver does not stop play when the first offence was committed, I cannot see how he can book Martinelli again ?  ..... In my opinion it is unfair on the player and unnecessarily pedantic.

Why would anyone ever defend the player who fouls and kills the game? Ever? I go to football to see attacking play, flair and entertainment.

If I want to see repeat physical assault, I will buy tickets for jelly wrestling.

Martinelli was taking the classic 'free hit'. Knew he had a yellow so may as well second foul. This is wrong. Imagine a city player got hacked down by a Bamford, ref allows us the advantage, Bamford then pushes Scott off the ball as he is about to put Weimann in.

Fair play the ref, taking logical action to stamp out anti-football.

They are better than they used to be. I genuinely believed we were previously at our most vulnerable to concede when we WON a corner.

There is a good player in there that we have ruined.

Identify as a cat? Does Kurt Zouma know?

Jesus... hide these two away and there is literally no one left worth watching. 

I will call the season over and head for the beach. 

Much like Callum O'Dowda.

That was three dreadful teams on show tonight.

I defo had to take a double take.

Lady one is warming her chilled white by holding the bowl of the wine glass, while lady two is cooling her warm red by holding the stem of the wine glass.

This is mixed up and is literally wine sabotage. I for one am outraged.

I have editions 1 to 21 of Razzle.

Not really fit to take to car boot sales mind.
