My favourite contradiction from our fans is that during the McCoist era everyone sitting around me was screaming that we were playing “hoof ball” and these days when we recycle the ball to keep possession the same fans wonder why we’re playing “tippy tappy pish” and scream for us to get the ball into the box.

This, I felt from watching at the stadium that we were dreadful and left disappointed but relieved. watched the game back on BT and thought we did fine for a first competitive game and Windass in particular had a better game than I realised, we could have killed the tie in the first half and they had next to nothing all game. finishing is usually the last thing to come in pre-season so it’s to be expected. Feel much happier about it today, perhaps I was blinkered by the pre-match expectations which were in hindsight a bit over the top.

Immediately if we progress through each round, if the game isn’t on tv Sunday is the only option so there won’t be much to change. A 3 o’clock Saturday kick off would simply become a 3 o’clock Sunday kick-off

I didn’t do that though, loyaleastend had a pop at me for not wanting them to do well.

I’m a tartan tranny because I don’t support England? ??

You asked for it in English so I gave you the English view.

Ok in English you’re supposed to be really happy because your team of Harlem globetrotting superstars who can actually only score from set-pieces are about to win everything. In Scotland where I’m from, I’m glad I won’t have to hear the most annoying song in the history of the planet sung 10 times a day ?

Maybe Football isn’t for you mate if you have to applaud when a team you don’t support does well.

Happy and relieved they never won it, we’d have heard about it for the next 40 years if we did, reminds me of them with their European Cup pish. Hear about it every 2 seconds and it was 50 fucking years ago. Also Ian Wright and Mark Lawrenson make me want to be sick when I hear them. They had a piss easy draw and scored 2 goals from open play in the whole tournament but they thought they were Brazil.

When we got beat in the 3-2 old firm game one thing that struck me was how lightweight we were in midfield compared to them, his presence will help solve that.

Interesting read cheers ? couldn’t find that.

Do you have a source for the bottom bit? Not doubting you but I’ve had a look and can’t find it anywhere.

2 friends of mine were brought up Protestant and recently became primary teachers, they’ve both got jobs in different authorities at catholic schools and there’s been no issues or discrimination whatsoever, there’s been zero issues.

If BT get all of Scottish Football id cancel Sky, I’m not interested in the Premier League, only have it to watch Rangers, hope this happens, saves me a subscription and Sky stops taking Scottish football for granted.

Formations on and off the ball are different, off the ball we were set up in a 4-1-4-1 but on the ball the wide players pushed forward and the 2 higher players in midfield looked to break beyond Morelos with full-backs over-lapping to virtually play a 2-1-4-3 on that ball in an ultra-attacking way, it’s a lot like Liverpool. Klopp says he always wants 3 players protecting defensively which were the 2 centre half’s, and McCrorie most of the time but there was license for Katic to break forward if a full-back stayed.

Classic winger and looks very impressive, really impressed by Rudden too, he looked a natural goal scorer even in the warm-up tucking away shots into the corners.

Here’s the difference though, McGregor was de-facto captain during admin, he rallied the players , questioned whyte and the administrators and convinced the squad to take a pay cut. Davis was posted missing and if Naismith or Whittaker ever signed again I’d hand my season ticket back for their disgraceful new club comments. I don’t blame international players for not wanting to play in the 3rd division and Green would have pissed away any transfer fee we got for him anyway, just being at the club at that point doesn’t make him a rat bastard. And tbh Wallace stayed and apparently he’s a rat on here anyway so I’m supposed to hate everyone apparently.

The only player in the squad who has ever won anything serious being made captain? That would clearly be madness on here, clearly someone should intervene and make sure it’s given to someone that no-one has seen play yet.

My Grandfathers ashes were scattered on the park at Ibrox back when the stewards used to let you throw them on the terraces, I was just a boy and have supported this incredible club ever since, my blood sweat and tears are on the park at Ibrox.

Warburton, Caixinha and Murty should have told the fans the initial target was second and not talked pish to the fans, because you have to finish 2nd in order to be taken seriously for challengers the season after.

Those figures for qualification aren’t prizes per round, that’s what we get if we get knocked out at that stage, so there’s little difference financially between getting knocked out in Q1 and the play-off round, St Johnstone actually lost money a couple of seasons ago because they spent more than that on travel to Eastern European teams and played 3 rounds. Theres no money to be made unless we make the group stage.

I’m not disagreeing with the way the sessions are being run, just found it funny that he said he hadn’t seen a ball yet when I’d seen them with a ball.

He says they’ve not seen a ball yet but there’s been dozens of Instagram videos showing them doing finishing drills! ???

He was but we never have the same level of cash in January that we do in summer, the summer window is his real test. We’ll see how we get on.
