I posted something on the Heart and Hand post re this. I couldn't believe it has now become acceptable in some quarters to sell tickets to fellow bears at inflated prices. I couldn't do that and was genuinely shocked that it seams to happen now. Wasn't like that ever before, just wasn't the done thing.

Is the Irish delegate quite influential at UEFA or am I mistaken? Did someone post something about that previously? Thats just bonkers, complete insanity. Great point about their champions league money though. Surely after all their sleepless nights worrying over our tax finances, the mhanks would be all over this? Questions are beginning to be asked by some, "where has all the money gone"???

Boabie you know as well as I do everyone just gets up earlier and carries on. As far as the pubs are concerned they just have more time after the match. The last time there was any major trouble at an OF inside the ground was probably the 80s. 12 noon for a match is an absolute disgrace. Sunday park football kicks off at 11am. Totally agree there is nothing wrong with 3pm. On a personal level a believe nothing that comes from plod. On a psychological level anyone who works in a position like policing/security guard/store detectives....Don't get me started! Oh yeh and you mentioned stewards lol. Where do we start with those "roasters"!

All this really does my head in. There is no logical reason why the scot squad couldn't request a 1pm KO for example. AFAIK that woukd still suit Sky times etc. This allows guys (or girls) enough time for a couple of pints with their mates pre match. Instead Scotland's answer to the keystone cops leave guys getting up first thing and hitting the wine, beer and spirits in the house etc immediately. All that happens is people end up getting pissed earlier. This is Plods attempt at justifying their OT (extra officers working Saturday premium hours) and inability to police events satisfactorily. I rarely drink so it's no skin off my nose however this place is a backwater, and we show no sign of acquiring any common sense.

I'm sure you won't be short of takers Craig. Great gesture!

Everyone on the CCCS should get a ticket? Motherwell won't sell 20k tickets for this either so would should get more than usual.

2.30 on the Sunday is a much better time:rfc: Pity they can't both lose on the Saturday as Im conflicted who I dislike most out of the two? Hope the tickets stay around the £20 mark as the Quarter final was very reasonable:thup:

A few statues would have to be demolished at the Piggery.

Totally agree the young CH Mcrorie looks really good. Won everything in the air, especially with that idiot Salmon! Is the draw tomorrow night? Anyone know??

Ha ha yup he is a pussy and pish! A "Pished Pussy" if you will. One of the guys behind me nearly had a coronary episode because of him. Just woeful and started hiding as he knew he was awful. There might be a player in their but he is scared to get hurt. Not good enough for me. Pena looks like he could come on and be a great signing imo.

That was hard graft. I was panicking we might lose it in the 90! Glad it's over and can reflect tomorrow. Two good goals in ET! P.S no issues at the turnstiles tonight AFAIK?

No penetration again with 4-2-3-1? Go to 4-4-2??

4-2-3-1 by looks of it?

Something that was brought up in the pod was touting tickets. People's opinion seams to have changed in some quarters? Imo tickets should never ever be sold to fellow bears for anything except face value. Got to be honest and say I was surprised that people would tolerate anyone even trying that on?

£40m and he can go.......

Agree with you on that Pete. I suspect Alves is not as good as he thinks he is or perhaps Cardozo is making him nervous? We will find out how good they all are on Saturday. I can't say I'm overly confident about tomorrow night either tbh? Thistle will be well up for a fight.

I would drop Windass and play Dorrans left. Rossiter and Jack in centre with candeias on the right. Alternatively play 4-14-1 with Jack in front of back four and Dorrans/Rossiter as the two. Candeias on right with A N other on alert and Morelos up front?

Will the compliance officer look at that tackle on Jack which received nothing? It was over the top and a deliberate attempt to injure him. Straight red! On Windass, I'm not sure how effective he would be v them anyway? He is not interested in getting physical.

3-1 fgs Morelos

I have been in the library all day Ian, can you not look on the bright side ffs lol! I have no wish to spend the next week on Valium and the following in a dark cupboard..... I fancy us to win 3-2........(no laughing...)

That's a brilliant post Stugers! I'm not sure it's a conscious decision however I could tell you that nothing ever is?? I was pensively mulling over similar and wasn't sure how to approach it? I'm not sure it's a deliberate agenda, I don't think they have sat down and said "let's get the h@uns". However there will be some more than others who harbour a grudge. Is this affecting their judgment? Potentially, yes. Perception is everything and everyone's perception is different. "Circumstances deternine experience" or how someone perceived a situation. That's why clubs like C****c apply pressure and endeavour to manipulate the narrative. It's also why human referees are so inconsistent as they perceive it differently. What we have now is a continual set of behaviours from numerous subject which mirror and resemble each other. I will write a piece on the psychology of what may or may not be happening? To long for a post. In short it's a fair point Stugers. There is something occurring imo, intentionally or otherwise.

I'm in the undecided camp re Alves? I mentioned in a preview this league dosnt have much to trouble him. He will have his work cut out next week though? He is slow at times and gave away a needless free kick for the equaliser. Don't get me wrong, they are an improvement but we will find out their metal shortly?

That's harsh lol. It's his third language and as anyone who speaks another will language will know, when your tired or its late it's not quite as sharp. I'm not really sure why that is tbh because when your pissed it's ok too?? Anyway, interviewing anyone late not in their native language will usually have a similar outcome, unless they are completely fluent. I thought was he said was ok. The problem is we are better than last year but we are still not a great side. We make mistakes and will still not be anywhere near title challengers.

I know Tav is getting abuse again and I'm not really sure why tonight? I think he and candeias have a decent thing going. They overlap and dove tail well at the back and going forward. I feel we are much stronger there now. The majority that was dangerous came down the right flank. They realised John was the weak link and went for him.

Agree on Miller but not on John. They were having a party down that right side.
