SJGF5

Changing from grass to the harder surface and back doesn't seem to be a problem. Yesterday was just bad luck.

Definitly go a bit higher, a kid will have trouble seeing the full width of the pitch properly from the first few rows of the Govan/SJ front. Plus, if it's raining the first 5-6 rows can get hit... also keep in mind that if it's a sunny day you'll need sunglasses and maybe a hat for him plus sunscreen. It can get brutally hot in those sections mid afternoon.

As others have said, it looks fantastic. Here are a few detail shots... (Also, well done to the store/Hummel for getting it out on time with a nice smooth process.)

Same here 🙂

His goal that won is here (6m 20s). looks great from behind the goal: Worth watching at the 1minute mark as well for a ridiculous miss by Dunfermline.

Not the first time recently he has done that. I'd be interested to know if he has taken it upon himself or if he's been instructed to do it.

So @Creampuff what you are saying is that we should be more concerned that he'll likely miss the first 2 games after the split... which will conveniently, through the totally random computer generated fixture schedule, be Aberdeen and celtic...

It's even more ridiculous because the linesman also had a clear unobstructed view from a completely different angle as the highlights show.

I wonder if they would respect the minutes silence if it was stated before it started that it was also in remembrance of Phil O'Donnell? I'm not sure they would but if we are looking for solutions to their ridiculous behaviour it probably has more chance of working than locking them out where they could still be heard, etc. (He died on Dec 29th.)

To be fair to him, his shot in the 2nd half was decent and probably deserved a goal. So it all evened out in the end. 😄

It would be a better idea to donate the money to Livi so they can get a decent pitch...

You need to watch the https://Rangers.co.uk/tv/ version.

Was there the same level of concern about the country of origin when our Umbro top a few years ago was made in Thailand rather than Vietnam like this one? (Just put my new top in for its 4th wash in the washing machine... scary times...)

There have been a couple of training videos on Rangers TV where he's shown some really nice touches. Looks like he has very quick feet and a decent football brain (made some decent runs in his limited game time too). Doesn't guarantee he'll be a success but I'd say he'll be at least as good as Kent attacking wise.

His team are 2nd in their league (1 point behind with a game in hand which is played tonight), into the semi of their cup (after topping their group in the early rounds)... maybe we made the wrong decision! ?

Gerrard did an interview after the last international break where he mentioned Jack picked up an injury on the first day back. I have a vague recollection it was something to do with his knee, or maybe above his knee... a bit harsh to say he's never fit when the majority of the time he's been out was due to a ridiculous challenge by another player. (For what it's worth, I don't think we'd have lost the goal against Livingston at the weekend had he been playing. He's the type of player who reads the game really well and ends up in the right place at the right time. That's his main talent and why at least for now he should be one of the first picks in the team when fit. It's no coincidence that Coulibaly has struggled in his performances since returning from injury too. Jack allows him to play to his strengths in a way that Arfield and Ejaria don't.)

Can someone let me know if we should we go back in time and be offended that the Umbro tops from a few years back were made in Thailand?

Either they are just being replaced, or maybe SD decided not to match the new retail deal and so the signs coming down are a sign of their existing deal now ending?

It's fairly obvious it's about 6inches away from Coulibaly's foot, just in front of Ball. As I say though, this is the moment (at the latest) Windass would have been taking his strike. So regardless of whether you can see the ball or not there is no way any Aberdeen player was getting close to challenging/stopping him.

I'll save you some time. That's the moment Windass (who would have been in front of Ball) would have been tapping it into the net...

The other two sheep who got there after Ball? It actually looks closer than it is when slowed down/replayed, in real time it's even clearer Windass would have had a tap-in.

No doubt Windass would have got to the ball first. Even watching the play that follows the foul (which the ref could see due to his position), Ball gets to the ball 2nd (after Coulibaly) so there is no doubt Windass who was further forward than Ball would have got there before anyone else. That's before you consider Ball wasn't even at full speed to get there 2nd. Or that the ball was moving away from the other defenders and towards where Windass/Ball run would have taken him... or that Windass was one of the fastest players on the park today. With Lewis still half way across his goal it would have been a tap-in.

Looked like cramp to me. He was holding the back of both his legs below the knee after his chance before signaling to come off. Didn't go down needing treatment, jogged about while waiting on the sub and then sat about smiling on the bench afterwards. No the actions of someone who is touch and go.

Should play Cummings based on recent performances from Morelos but if that isn't enough of a reason it should be Cummings that plays as a booking for Morelos means he misses the final game. He may not be in top form just now but I'd rather at least have him available if we need a point or 3 than sitting at home. (Even if he's not scoring he is actually one of our more effective players at defending high balls into the box.)

Good that he won the appeal. Should never have been booked so on that front it's a positive. Having said that, appealing was the wrong decision in my opinion. He'd have missed the Hearts game and now, if I understand correctly, if he gets booked against Hearts he'll miss Aberdeen away. If he makes it as far away as celtic (league) before getting a booking he'll miss Hibernian away. I really hope we're not now going into the final game needing a win to secure 2nd and he's unavailable...
