  1. Our central defence (including Sands) should be judged after the upcoming games (Ajax, Celtic, Aberdeen, Napoli and Liverpool. Colak's finish for our second goal was excellent and exactly what we need from a centre forward. Mention in dispatches for Scott Wright's part in the move.
  2. I think the level of media scrutiny comes into it and on Saturday, Don Robertson didn't want to get his red card out, especially so early in the game and against us. Turns out the decision was so bad that the media scrutiny is worse for Robertson than if he had sent Sands off. He was fine with the early yellow (no complaints, I would have expected it at the other end) but ignored the second. Then it was about evening up the bad decisions within the 90 minutes. We should have had a penalty and they could have finished with 10. I note Robertson hasn't been mentioned as much as Collum, last week. That is what a reputation does I guess.
  3. Some 11 days coming up from the 3/9 to the 13/9. Celtic (A) Ajax (A) Aberdeen (A) Napoli (H) A real quality signing would be welcome before it starts. Completely different starting XI for Queen of the South.
  4. He changed it, it worked. I'd imagine that will be the new template for this type of fixture. Textbook Two up at HT Three up after an hour Get the changes made One slight criticism is that I thought we could have had 5 subs on the pitch by 70-75 minutes.
  5. We put our shooting boots on today !! Liverpool have as well, they have only got the eight goals today !!! edit.....9 (NINE)
  6. Line up suggested this would happen. Hopefully GVB sticks with approach for similar type games.
  7. Ref. evening up bad decisions. Sands should have been sent off early and RC manager was complaining about it for ages. I'd give Leon King 30-45 minutes.
  8. Hopefully a more attacking line-up on paper means we create more chances in the first half. Got a feeling it will. Put the shooting boots on lads, don't be shy.
  9. I've learnt to pay little attention to timescales given for vague knee injuries. I'll be happy when I see the young man back kicking a football.
  10. Wrt European football, it is @Fat Eck
  11. Hearts may pick up some co-efficient points against the Latvians. ECL Gp.A Istanbul Basaksehir Fiorentina Hearts RFS Riga
  12. Wee aside Europa League groups A Arsenal, PSV, Bobo/Gimp, Zurich D Braga, Malmö,. Union Berlin, Union SG
  13. TV market pool is split, 55/45. The co-efficient money is determined depending on 10 year co-efficient. I think that we come in at 31st of 32 and this is what reduces our CL money to relative minimum.
  14. I get the logic but historic trends often (not always) end up continuing in a similar vein. We nearly always do well against Danish sides but never against Swedish, eg. Malmo. We do wonderfully against the Portuguese but can't lay a glove on their Iberian neighbours, the Spanish. Although against Villarreal, you can count on a draw (4/4).
  15. History tends to weigh heavier than recent form guides. Our record at PSV is excellent. Prior to Wednesday, 2 wins and a draw. Form suggests it would be difficult, we win again. Ajax, it isn't so good although we have tended to be paired with them when they have been flying. 70's after they won 3 EC's 90's after another EC
  16. Need to start making lighter work of this type of fixture. Ie. Being two or more goals to the good by HT and making use of 5 subs by 65/70 minutes.
  17. Could well be looking at the loan market for a level of quality, we can't otherwise afford. Downside is that it doesn't usually work out how we hope. - Powerful and energetic midfielder - centre forward - Right winger - centre half (depending on projected timeline re.injured) That'll dae !!
  18. Only scored the 9 goals in their first two league fixtures.
  19. End of a big week Celtic (A) 1330 CL Match day 1 Aberdeen (A) 1330 Stick Napoli (A) in the middle and that becomes some what challenging. Could do with a home match against an out of form team like Liverpool.
  20. Never in doubt, we were always going through !!! Truthfully, never saw a clean sheet and a win coming. USG (A) seems a long time ago now. First competitive defeat for PSV since mid-April First European away win since Dortmund Four away games at PSV, 4 different decades, 3 wins and a draw. 5 goals scored at PSV, all second half and all at the same end. Alex MacDonald, Derek Johnstone, Bobby Russell, Jorg Albertz, Antonio Colak and a mention in dispatches for Tommy McLean (3 assists) We left it for the last of 3 opportunities to get into CLGS but we got there.
