We're too tentative. Need to press in the final third.

Probably the strongest team we could put out considering....

How Jim Denny ever got into our side was a mystery; Penman, on the other hand, I always thought was under-rated.

John Nettles, now replaced by Neil Dudgeon. We watch it too.

That's a great description if I may say so.

"Over the top Jock!" "Achtung! Here come the ladies from Hell!"

Me neither. May have to settle for a draw.

Was that a deliberate mistake??

Further evidence that we are 100% right to hold out for good prices. Patterson is much better than £11m Pingpong. And what price Tavernier? Imagine if Trent or Reece James had scored that goal he got against St. Johnstone.

Missed out estate agents didn't you?

I believe Simpson is not in our Euro squad. Of all the areas in the field I never saw centre back as a problem one, yet now we could be looking at Balogun and Leon King for Thursday?

He's still not the player of last season though is he?

This might just be the kickstart they all need. But worried about Kent; just what is going on in his head right now?

A penalty from Collum!

We're up against it now.

'Happenstance' and 'flak' in the same sentence is quite a feat of linguistic gymnastics!

Could be a long slog today, maybe an injury time winner.

Of more interest perhaps, Glenn Middleton scored for the under-21s and only 2 great saves stopped him getting a hat-trick. Kelly, Williamson and Middleton formed the midline. Love to see us develop these youngsters. Kai Kennedy also played.

Is he actually injured though? I thought it was Covid-related.

Or become an MP?

I once asked a middle class man what team he supported. "Oh, well, I support all teams, really!" They just don't understand the tribalism.

This has gone far too far now. The comment about Dean Shiels is in the same class as wishing Nacho Novo was dead. And I don't know where the huns term originated but I certainly find it offensive.

Then again, that is not certain either. There has been an erosion of support in the southern Tory 'blue wall.' Living in England I don't see the Conservative swing as permanent. They only gained 300k more votes after the last election, despite the biggest ever campaign against and character assassination of one man.

You only have to glance at the Guardian's attacks on Corbyn to see that it is an illusion that it is a left newspaper - liberal at best. The current Labour incarnation is but a pale shadow of the Tory party in Westminster. As such, it is likely to fare even worse than the Corbyn version, with formerly safe seats like Hartlepool falling to the Tories. The current SNP government is anything but a substitute for the old Keir Hardie Labour Party; in fact it is very much a supporter of free enterprise (who owns Scotrail? ). When I was growing up it was normal for a working class Protestant to support Rangers and vote Labour. The SNP are wolves in sheep's clothing and that may explain the lack of enthusiasm for indy. A genuine British socialist and unionist Labour Party would, I suspect, hoover up a huge amount of current SNP support. Matters are complicated further because the Scottish Branch Office of Labour has always been (at least since the nineties) even more right wing than UK Labour.

To save me dredging through pages and pages, when we talk about fake videos are we suggesting that the city centre one may have been faked? The only recording of it I was able to see was from an Irish paper and tbh I couldn't make out what was being sung at all - though I could hear "why don't you go home." Was the EK bus one faked? Like most on here I think there has been an over-reaction; I can't see how anyone in the street could be charged with a hate crime. An disabled acquaintance of mine was told to "get out the way, spastic" in a pub recently - now that is a hate crime.
