Yes it's time we stopped making comments about Scottish referees; we've been cheated often enough in Europe too.

Agree except the manager can do nothing about the inability of Cerny to take, for example, to miss chances.

Yes and we should not be too smug about their failures; it harms us as we do our utmost to increase Scotland's co-efficient only for them to piss it up the wall. It's likely that soon our champions will have to complete endless qualifying rounds and not even be seeded. We can do our bit on Thursday but the real problem is the nature of the Scottish League; it's comprised of endless loan players, foreigners who are very substandard and teams who change their line up every season ensuring no continuity. I can't name one St Johnstone or Hibs player for example. The only way the league improves is to develop our own - players like Barron, Lennon Miller and David Watson. And don't give me that tired old excuse that the SPL is too competitive.

The Keltic embarrassing Scottish football yet again.

US: "You're playing all the wrong players!" CLEMENTE: "No, I'm playing all the right players, just not necessarily in the right positions!"

Think it's also down to the fact that we are usually underdogs in Europe, whereas at home we are expected to win against all but one team. Also we are not having to deal with ultra-defensive set-ups.

We are third in the Euro League!

Cerny should be backup to Ross, not the other way around.

Well it's high time we ended the Indian sign that Malmo have had over us. All our previous tussles were winnable and we shot ourselves in the foot each time.

Post-modernism has finally made it to football.

We do need to somehow exit the SPL. The other lot are streaking away from us financially and we are unlikely to get investment of the Wrexham type unless we are in a better league.

And is that a good or bad thing? And why not us then?

Certainly if we were to go down the ManCity and Newcastle route, we would have lost the soul of our club.

We seem to be back to where we were in 1976. There must be some Hollywood titans out there who can see our potential; after all, 2 stars (whom I've never heard of) settled on Wrexham, a club with a limited fanbase.

If there is any truth at all in this then I know the lunatics have taken over. He's nearly Tav's age and won't offer anything different; for one thing he won't score goals and free kicks.

Godsake, give me some good news someone! I hear that Tav could be Turkey-bound; if so, why has he just bought a flat in Glasgow? Is he shaping up to be player-manager? Here's a thought? Would you welcome back Gerrard?

To be replaced by....? Who would take the job? McInnes?

Scotland are the Rangers of international football! Ronnie Yeats died yesterday; only got 2 caps because he was competing v McKinnon, McNeill and Ian Ure for example. Now we cannot produce centre halves.

I doubt if even McInnes could make a defender out of Tav.

I have. They went out of europe early and were free to concentrate on the league; we battled on 2 fronts.

We're winning on bookings 4-1!

So we don't bother trying in Europe and lose even more cash?

He's not brave enough to drop Tav and play Sterling at RB.

So - is it damage limitation second half or should we have a go and throw everything at them? Thing is I don't think they are that good - doubt they will win a game in the CL.

When Greg Taylor is better than any of our full backs then you know we are in trouble.
