Pensively Staring

Yet another 80th minute sub. 

Couple of fresh legs would be nice. 

This is Sunday league stuff. 

I'm more embarrassed than angry. 

Hopefully we get back to scoring goals from the back now that Goldson & Katic has been reunited. 

We look like we have enough pace upfront to hurt them. 

Excited for this one. 

If it were me personally I'd start Middleton and have him run his legs into the ground then continue Grezdas recuperation with the last 30 minutes or so. 

I'm not too worried about tomorrow but I do think we'll be up against a wounded animal. So we best stay frosty. 

2-1 The Rangers. 

I'd rather they focused on keepers jumping 4/5 yards off their line before the penalty is kicked.

Analysis/statistics seem to be the in vogue issue,long gone are the days of the "total football" edict.

You only have to be at a game and if thing are not going well hoping for a sub to be brought on.A look over at the dug-out sees one being readied,then 5-10 minutes later on he comes after being shown through pages of formations,it's so annoying.

 

I chuckle whenever I see an assistant flip open his big binder and points to where the wing is. Pretty sure the winger knows vaguely where it is. 

Although it does answer why a substitution that should have been made at 60 minutes strolls on in the 80th.

So I read today that Klopp is being criticised for lacking a plan B when things aren't going Liverpools way. 

This is something I've seen laid at the doors of many managers who choose to play a brand of football that requires an almost pathological need to retain possession. Klopp, Pep, the Spanish national side, Arsenal at the latter stages of Wengers career and dare I say, our very own Mark " plan B is to do plan A better" Warburton. 

Just some things came to mind whilst reading the article on Klopp. Is the game in danger of becoming sterile with all these weird Abandonment and control freak issues being wrapped up as " philosophies". 

Whatever happened to just being shite on the night and getting pumped regardless of whatever letter of the alphabet your plan is at? 

Just some thoughts.

If the rain stays away, Autumn is my favourite season. Used to go to NY in Oct every year for about 10 years (before the nippers) and one of my abiding memories is the smell of fresh coffee and bread on a brisk Autumn morning. 

Behave. 

Here's to our team giving us a result and performance fitting of a club with such a devoted support. 

Motherwell is one of four scalps I would like to collect this season. 

I think the fans make their appreciation of him more than clear on match day. Personally, I wouldn't be too bothered about getting credit outwith the Ibrox family. 

But that's just me. 

On a side note, there's something about this time of year that really brings out the flavour of coffee. 

Simply delicious.

In my day when one scored a brisk shake of the hand and a rough of the hair sufficed. 

It's all about followers, gimmicks and brands these days. 

Everyone has their niche, the Mexican game is his. 

Thanks for Morelos ?

Whatever happened to doing your talking on the pitch? It's hard to take the Scottish game seriously these days. Plastic players on plastic pitches. 

That young Ferguson has had a decent week. 

Lovely. 

I think there is too much swapping and changing of the first team for my liking. 

Relieved with the 3pts.

Time to put the kettle on. Have a good weekend people. 

Morelos with the shot to the heart. 

What's the script with the second yellow for the Candy man? 

Shot or cross its hard to tell in this weather. 

Awwwwww hellllloooo!

Did he say this when Man Utd were winning league after league?

Lol, to be fair I think it was a dig at Newcastle, could be wrong tho. 

An old quote from Arsene Wenger is coming to mind this afternoon. 

"Further north you go, the worse the football becomes" 

This is rough. 

Well shit..... 

McGregor proving his worth as usual.

Howdy. Welcome the forum

Cheers mate. 

Here's hoping we get a good result. 

Afternoon each and all, I thought I'd sign up and sample the banter. 

3-1 The Gers.
