I'm gonna be out there from the 25th of May until the 8th of June...it's my annual 2 weeks over there! I do budget approx $300 per day and try to pace myself gambling wise...although that doesn't really happen! Me and my bro missed out on tickets for this as we were hoping single day ones would go on sale since we've got a mates wedding to go to during it! Obviously never came to pass but we'll be out and about during the time of the convention so will be great to see the supporters pile in to Vegas ?? We've been comped the new rooms in Ballys this year so staying down there rather than the Linq which we've stayed at the last 3 visits.

The only CB pairing yet to concede in the league this season is Wilson and Senderos ?? Think they played together when we beat Partick 2-0 at Ibrox and I thought they complimented each other well.

We're lightweight in midfield with him in it too ?

Doesn't help that Dave King said it publicly...second place while possibly acceptable this year should not have been said publicly as you probably have the players thinking what they're achieving so far is acceptable...it's brutal!

In his defence Tavernier was no where near our worst player last night, yes he's had a poor season but last night he wasn't at obvious fault and did put in a good few tackles to prevent it becoming more embarrassing. Also his delivery led to a goal, against Motherwell he did well so I won't lose sleep over him starting again on Saturday. I do think though he will 100% drop Kiernan this time, he has to do it after his mistakes this time especially when the first goal was essentially a carbon copy of Motherwell's goal 2 weeks ago. The biggest IF is Halliday who was awful last night, clearly at fault for the 2nd goal and has been a liability for months now. The problem is he'll need to change his formation unless he can find someone else he fancies shoehorning in as CDM. Our two signings for that role are either released or missing. My team (which I would doubt anyone will agree with) GK: Wes RB: Tav CB: Senderos CB: Hill LB: Wallace RM: Dodoo (if fit) CM: Toral CM: Hyndman CM: Forrester LM: McKay CF: Miller I'm assuming Wilson isn't fit otherwise I may have changed the defence further and I've got no reason to think Dodoo isn't fit currently based on what MW has said. Forget this holding Midfield position and simply ask our midfield to support both attack and defence where posible by going box to box. Forrester doesn't shy away from challenges and Toral while he hasn't set the heather alight at least looks to be a calming influence on the ball.

I read it as if you were saying he can't play his own position ?

He isn't a defensive midfielder that's how

Don't bother coming back then.

Craigan telling it like it is...absolutely slaughtered Halliday there.

He may have went about it the wrong way but it's starting to seem Barton sussed this out ages ago...

I'd go and find a brick mate!

Didn't notice that but aye...he does look awful so far.

I don't think anyone has to be fair

Oh fuck off...Halliday asked for the ball, he lets it go by him to go forward thinking there's nobody there and he fucked up because there was... Trying to blame Wes for that, laughable

Halliday you absolutely useless bastard

Hyndman looks superb ?? That's a good few through balls into threatening areas and finally we got a goal from one.

Problem is that he doesn't break up play at all most of the time, he's posted missing. Plus he doesn't help himself with his play acting as well, get back up and get on with it.

We should be grateful for him? He's been ineffective pretty much all season in that position.

Halliday really is a passenger at times, poor passing and gives the ball away way too often.

You might not have been around at the time...this is an ongoing joke

Might we end up with Nadal vs THE GREATEST in the final?

Well fuck me

Nobody around me today was surprised that MOH was hauled off, headless chicken at times comes to mind today, some really poor decision making and deserved to be hooked, another wasted chance for him. All three subs had an impact today, so the manager got the changes right today and was justified in leaving Miller on over MOH also.

Plus he's literally defending nothing until the French Open, great chance to widen the gap! Provided he remains consistent he should remain at Number 1 for the calendar year! Massive chance for him to win the Australian Open, he handled the pressure well at Wimbledon when Isner put Novak out, hopefully he'll manage it just as well in this tournament too.
