I will update Steve

Thanks Craig, I was hoping you'd write that. 

It is very kind of you, cheers 

Btw though, if KT, is pitchside I don't need to know what he is wearing out if he's tanned or smiling or....

*Way to risk my updates

Looking ahead to Tuesday. I am highly unlikely to make it to a TV or computer with broadband and so I'll be following via my phone and text. 

I would prefer to do that on this site rather than any other and so would deeply appreciate it if one or more of you could guarantee to keep the match thread updated. 

If no-one confirms that they can do this, I will have to follow elsewhere. 

My problem, I realise and so is just a request in advance. No problem if not and I will be back reading on Wednesday. 

Double post, apologies 

Ejaria and Middleton looked better than most. 

Goodnight. 

Thank goodness. Referee gave us that because he knew the Morelos one was a penalty, I think. 

Morelos's shirt was held, clearly. Throwing himself forward (which was  daft, again!) put the ref of giving us it... 

First time I've seen Middleton. I like what I am seeing! 

Morelos booked now for a piece of nonsense. He's not very bright, is he? 

Getting on top again. Chances going a-begging. Arfield playing on while limping is a bit concerning. 

He's off now Ejaria on

We've controlled the game but other than a couple of great deliveries which we should have scored from our final ball has been lacking. They play counter attacking football with some nice one touch stuff in and around the middle of the park and other than a shot from distance that hit the bar ( looked to me like McGregor had it covered if it was lower) haven't done much in the last third. They will be very dangerous at their own place and we need to put them away here and now.

Agreed. Though that's not the way the game is now going sadly

I hope he scores a cracker, now

OK, Alfie gets the benefit of the doubt this time but i think you are being too kind. Should have scored easily.

 

 

Yes, he should have. I saw no "doubt" to afford any "benefit" 

Stevie G looking like he's losing patience with Morelos' daft moments. Not just the misses but the offsides when no need for them. 

Great noise from the Bears

We won't have too many mifldfielders, not nearly. At least four will be hospitalised for large parts of the season and most of those not injured will be suspended.  We'll  be playing people out of position to cover by November and have to bring in emergency replacements in January. 

If we are anywhere even near the chance of a title at the split, we will get another horrendous run of fixtures and all midfielders will get suspensions.

We  will have none left to play for us in May and be complaining about lack of midfield cover.

Goodnight all. 

Official YouTube site are putting the goals up quite rapidly so 4 and 5 should be there any minute. (You can follow previous links and soon find them, I am sure...) 

All the best 

PS 4th  

 So, I did start it! 

Just keep enjoying the game. Pitch is worrying though. What's the story there? 

No probs, GS

I am just waiting on the "why isn't the manager in a suit" debate to start... Ooops have I just started it? 

Astonishing attendance tonight. Well done, Bears

Katic's "worm burner" 

Poor goalkeeping

I know, but I was quoting The Craigmeister. 

Arfield makes it 3:

The SFA might not have the money but their puppet masters do, plus Rangers' hating legal teams on call. 

A Liverpool take on this transfer:

"Flanagan looks miles off the player that broke into the Liverpool first team back in the 2013/14 season and a fresh move now seems like the right thing for his career. The right-back has lost his way a bit since a long-term injury and has not really rediscovered his best touch out on loan. He looks set to become the latest player to join the Steven Gerrard era in Scotland and there is every chance he could be a success for them. Meanwhile, it is good to see Reds manager Jurgen Klopp offloading the deadwood in his squad this summer... "

To be fair, we've had so many European humiliations, the Progres result was just another to add to the long list.

 

We're still hearing about Berwick 50 years later but I can't even remember the name of that Lithvakian pub team who hammered us at Ibrox in the much more recent past.

They'd be ecpected to beat Progres though, would they not? I thought Progres were down near the foot of the rankings 

Berwick will never be forgotten because we had a truly great team on the park. (And unfortunately playing cards until the wee hours on the morning of it - according to Bud - driving too, doubtless ) 

That was my first year of going to games regularly and, as I have  said on here before, it was our most highly placed team in any objective European ranking. We beat Dortmund and would've beat Bayern in any country other than Germany and would have even there had it not been for, yes... Berwick.

I get where you're coming from but it would still be the easiest draw geographically and otherwise and a chance to wipe off that stain.

But it wouldn't wipe it off. The Berwick stain remains although we've beaten them since. 

Yes, the myth part is that he did when celebrating breaking his duck v. us. He went potty when he scored. The commentator that it was out of pure or sheer relief. He extravagantly thumped has chest but did not kiss the badge on that occasion, at least. Whether he ever did or not, I can't say as I only saw him against us, but if he did it is mistakenly mixed up with that particular OTT outburst of joy. 

I've not heard the interview because it was on, quelle surprise, the BBC. 

For all he has done positive for us, there seems to be a negative to counterbalance things. BBC Raduo Scotland Sportsound ***shudder***
