Great photos. Thanks for posting. Bit of sadness looking at the old stadium being demolished. The picture before Grieg's testimonial photo looks like the Bayern game in 1972 - if so, I'm somewhere in the background crowd as a 12 yeart old at the Broomloan end ... memories!

Scottish football is utterly corrupt, shock.

He's finished at this level and has been for a very long time.

The tweet looks as if it could be a fake.

There's a tweet with the RFC logo saying he has left by mutual consent, but there's nothing on the club website.

Sturgeon at the Davis Cup. Was she not told that this was Great Britain?

No thanks.

Some interesting reflections here. I don't think Warburton is trying to apply a business philosophy directly to football in an undiluted way, but you could be right in the sense that he is getting the balance wrong, at least some of the time. He's a bright guy, though, and I'm still hopeful that he will make the required adaptations and be successful. I would rather give an intelligent manager like this a real chance to prove himself, than go back to one of the 'usual suspects'. The balance of the summer signings (ie skewed towards 'veterans' some of whom, on the basis of recent performances, just don't have it anymore) worries me. However, the change in culture Warburton has brought within the club, and the much more professional approach to training and the backroom work, are to be applauded. On a day like this, it's not going to be popular to ask for a bit more patience, but let's stick with it and see where we are around the turn of the year. This first season back at the top level was always going to be a tough one.

Agree. The thing is, we have the basis for a decent team, if we can get the mix between the young guys and one or two older heads right. If we keep filling the key positions with guys whose legs have gone we are stuffed though. It's also a major problem that we didn't get the obvious problems in central defence addressed by a sensible signing before the start of the season. That really needs to be the priority for January, or before then if possible.

For some reason, during the summer Warburton went against his instincts and his previous philosophy, and signed a set of ageing players. The younger guys he signed have been fine, really, and his best plan now is to get back to his original thinking and stick with a young squad with one or two old heads.

The younger summer signings look fine. The older ones not so much.

Regroup at halftime. Get some pressure on their crap defence in second half.

But they will still hammer the SFA 11.

Oh yes!

Anything that might help get us out of the cesspit that is Scottish football is most welcome.

Greenslade will be too busy providing hospitality to his close friends and neighbours - the ones he claims not to know very well.

Watched it for 5 minutes. The usual BBC Scotland amateurish nonsense. All the usual suspects getting their chance to have soundbites and convince themselves that they have something to say.

Colin, Colin, Colin Stein ...

Just the usual standard of Scottish refereeing. Total amateurs to a man. Not one referee of any calibre in Scotland.

It's broken beyond repair, but the incompetent amateurs who run it need to keep convincing themselves that it's really fine.

Gordon will still be weeping because his club got gubbed the other night. He's a total amateur pretending to be a 'broadcaster' just like the rest of them at BBC Scotland.

A good night - two of the hater-clubs knocked out.

Why would anyone would appoint Big Sam rather than Klinsmann?

Another three defeats for the haters tonight please. Get them all out as soon as possible.

Could not care less.
