the time wasted at the end of games with shite teams making all those subs is gonna be fucking brutal 

They can only have three times to use the subs.

Kent Aribo and Hagi carry over pre-season form I think we'll win this. Going 3-0 win. 

As for this 5 subs rule. It made sense in other leagues coming back from lockdown and restarting. It's bollocks here as league sides have had a pre-season to prepare.

Heard Bisgrove had to be escorted off the pitch as he was trying to apply temp sponsorship tattoos.

:lol: 

If there’s blank space he’ll sell it...

Can’t fault his ability to get money for nothing as yet.

I think we will beat Aberdeen comfortably tbh.

Their shithouse tactics only work up there because they are willed on by a toxic support that hate our guts and weak willed referees who are afraid to punish them for their tactics.

Without the supporters there there won’t be the same edge to the game and that will allow our quality to come to the fore.

Listening to the terrace podcasts season preview there and some interesting stats came up.

Somebody at The Economist did some research on England, Spain and Italy and although players are running as much and the same number of passes are being completed the overall pace of games has slowed down in all of those leagues.

There was apparently another piece in the FT too saying that home advantage has been negated too because referees aren’t being swayed by the crowd and that’s obviously a big part of what home advantage is.

If those things translate over to our league too (referee one is optimistic 🙄) then like I said our quality should see us through this game, and hopefully most other games too.

Ok so Defoe is out and Morelos will travel and Stevie G will decide squad and team after training. So for those who think the Buff won't be risked how do you see us line up?  Hagi false 9? Arfield a target and lay off to Kent, Aribo, Hagi? Greg Stewart or Barker? A youth like Middleton or Dapo up top? 

I think of the limited options (and I hope Morelos just starts), if Morelos doesn't play we will have Arfield at centre forward and the usual supporting 3 hoping he can do a job of holding the ball up.

I think Fredo will start and I agree with that. If there isn't a bid high enough yet then he still should be playing games for us. 

Remember Laudrup.  Didn't kick a ball when he was on the way out.
