Unless we get a proven striker in Jan, then draws are going to kill us this season

I'm thinking a draw, which will still leave us on top. Whilst they might close the gap, chances are they'll get beat, so we could draw and increase the gap.

Sweet Caroline should be banned. We shouldn't be encouraging " hand touching hand reaching out touching me touching you" 😀

I thought this might be overturned, although I thought it was right, I was worried they might have made a case for a yellow. That would have taken a bit of the shine off of the win

These games probably matter the least. The league is the priority and whilst the treble is still on the cup games matter. So I would like us to use this game to mix things up a bit and try to inject some energy into the team

We really do need to find goals from somewhere

I thought this was tomorrow. Doh.

I'm not getting too carried away with this. We're only 1 point ahead of the Edinburgh sides, and although I don't expect them to sustain the challenge, there's no sign yet that they won't. Also I do think they will get stronger. I've no idea how good they're missing players are, as I seldom watch them, but I do know most of them would be first team starters. Some of their signings have been guff, but some look to be decent. The biggest laugh for me is they got rid of one unfit striker and replaced him with another unfit striker 😀 However I do think they'll improve

In the league we've scored 10, they've got 16. So better than us but just over 1 goal per game. However we've conceded 4 they've only conceded 3. So althought they're gungho football is showing them up in Europe, they're defence seems to be up to SPFL standard. They have possibly their best CB due to return from injury and will probably strengthen in Jan. We need to find goals in the short term and find a proven goal scorer in Jan.

Thought we looked a bit light up front, but there's plenty of goals in "midfield"

Job done but not great to watch. We'll probably get teams ten times better in the group stages, and perform ten times better against them

Got a bit of a phobia about this one. A completely irrational fear that we won't go through. Against 10 men for a lot of the match, they had zero shots on target and a mere one off target. But I still have an uneasy feeling. It will probably go once the game starts, especialy if we get an early goal.

Not at all, just accept that when it comes to hurling abuse at oppositions players and fans, that it's not acceptable to bring race or religion etc into it.

I think one problem is these guys might well not be racist, it possible that they don't have an axe to grind with people of other nationalities. However the seem to think it's acceptable to have a no "holds barred" go at a person because he plays for a rival club. But of course it isn't That's what fans of all clubs need to inderstand, as we see it happening at many clubs. There are limmits and if you cross those, then you can bring shame on the club and leave yourself open to some very serious consequences

Sundays game can be viewed as a CL qualifier. Obviously the league won't be one or lost on Sunday, but 3 points will be a massive step in the right direction.

Not the best line up IMO, but probably could be worse. I think we'll get the job done. But only just.

Bringing on Balogun is fine, it's who he's replacing that a lot of us have a concern over.

Strong line up and strong bench. Got to be confident.

What a difference one goal makes.

I thought it was UB 40 adjusted for inflation.

Either side winning this afternoon will mean neither can go through in 3rd. So only need one more result, and any Scotland win does

Got a place at 14s in one of my earlier selections. Not sure that's enough to suggest my poor spell is over. However done 3 tonight 5.15 The king of the kells 6.15 tommy taylor 7.15 sunchart

Had a good spell a couple of weeks ago but having a nightmare at the momment. However hopefully my bad spell will end today with a couple of good ones at Newcastle 1.15 Gloves Lynch and 3.35 Cosmelli. Both ew. I can get 4 places in the first and 6 in the second. Not tips just my own picks.

Done Beware the Bear for obvious reasons. Also wanted a something with a bigger price. Not sure if the virtual will have fallers but if not Kildisart at 50s looks good.

Did Diesel D'Alier in Nov when it won over course and distance. Got 12-1 in the morning, went off at 13/2. Obviously a harder race today, but I'll stick with it
