2.92M.......... Starting fees X?M............... Fixed amounts (performance bonus for wins/draws/progression in tournament) 1M............... Coefficient ranking (I make it 13 teams below us in 10 year co-eff table) X?M............... Market pool (TV Money / don't know split amounts) 780K........... Solidarity payments (Qualifier pyts) 4 x Home Qualifiers (varying price structure / revenue) 3 x Home group games Note. Money Numbers above are in Euros.

Given the almost identical nature of incident (including level of force used), the Steven Naismith precedent from a few weeks ago (Hearts v Celtic) should mean there is no case to consider for the CO.

Did they mention how many times Scottish clubs have come through EL qualifying stages and got to the group stage since the EL format took over from the UEFA Cup ? This is the 10th year of the EL format and we are the first and only Scottish club to get through EL qualifiers and make the groups* (* Celtic have ended up in EL groups several times but always after getting KO'd from CL)

We'll make a very decent profit and personally, if there was serious interest in him come January, I'd take the money and re-invest it in someone else. You can't trust him and it'll be a continuous rollercoaster ride with him.

Can't bring myself to listen to their podcast of yesterday.

The only way we compete with them and beat them is if we get in their faces, play a high press and play very well. Yesterday we played European Away tactics (happy with a 0-0). It allowed them to dictate the play and they are a better team than any we've came up against in the 4 summer qualifiers. We did so, probably because of a lack of the necessary collective energy to be able to employ an effective high press. Several things..... 1. They focused and raised the quality of their game (especially retention of possession) from the inconsistent Colin Nish they had previously been playing. This will nearly always happen for OF matches and we have to be ready for it. The less 'noise' we make prior to these games the better. 2. Villareal game on the 20th will be a long night unless we can vastly improve on retention of possession. 3. Despite all the signings, we are currently light on options. All that said, we need to forget about them and concentrate on improving ourselves. We have an excellent management team in place and the base of a good squad. This season will see teething problems and humps in the road but we are going in the right direction.

Put that under (bad) 'experience for all concerned' and move on. They focused and returned to form and we didn't have the legs or energy to press them effectively.

Good point.

A goal is coming if the same story develops in the second half. We need to retain some possession and get up the pitch.

Very difficult, no quality balls coming his way. We aren't able to get to a place in the pitch with the ball under control that gives a better chance of a quality ball.

They are dominating that much, Candeias wouldn't have made a difference IMO.

They are playing well and we are not at the races. Only positive is that we are still level and broon is booked. We need a boot up the erchie but energy levels won't be full.

We'll see. Tend to think Tav needs someone who'll have the discipline to cover for him and IIRC Kent can play either flank.

I'd imagine Lafferty will play left, Kent right. Lafferty may have instructions to get in the box, interchange with Morelos when the wee amn comes deep. Surprised at Candeias not starting. Kent has good game discipline but perhaps not the same level of understanding with Tav. Words are cheap and repetitive,..........it's now down to the players to get out there, believe and carry out the game plan with controlled agression. 'Get intae them'...........

Red card in match ? Interesting to see the view of those expert in weighing up probability,........bet365 will only give you odds of 7/4 on a red card. Contrast that to the same company offering 5/1 for a red card in Chelsea v Bournmouth.

Doesn't F about does SC, reading from a prepared statement is typical of his general approach #organisation He's right about the lack of transparency.

At least it won't involve travel. Just don't get injured.

Given we can't be sure of the levels of the opposition as yet, it's pure speculation but it's what us fans enjoy doing. Realistic objective for me is to perfom as well as we can and see where it takes us. Meaningless speculation for me is that we'll finish 2nd or 3rd.

Don't see why they would even consider shifting it.

An interesting group. Three very decent sides but I reckon we'll do better than our seeding suggests. Whether that's good enough to get us into the KO stages remains to be seen. Looking forward to it and for those suggesting prioritisation of the weekend league games, I can't see it. These are the big games that we have missed for years and from the support, to the management team to the players....we'll be wanting to make an impression on a bigger stage.

That didn't take long
