Football is a contact sport. Occasionally players will get injured. If there's a chance you can win the ball or score, go for it.

I haven't been to that cesspit since the McLeish era but there's nothing like watching Rangers win there. We, as a society, just seem to live in a constant state of fear these days. I wish there was a full house tomorrow, so we could watch the yahoos losing their shit and the Bears having a party.

So, we've now had he shouldn't have went for it because it wasn't a 50/50 and also the keeper's head 'got in the way'. He got the ball first.

I see the scum have tweeted they've been open to all since 1888. One wonders if Jock Stein, who couldn't get on their board and Mark Walters, who faced a deluge of bananas at the Piggery, would agree. I'm sure Rudi Skacel might also question Leigh Griffiths' involvement.

Roofe got the ball first. I hope he does it again tomorrow. ?

I'm never very confident about our games at their dump and tomorrow is no different. I'm not sure how it will go but I think the first goal will be huge, whoever gets it. Hopefully our players are fully focused and ready to do battle with the contemptuous slime that awaits. Mon The Rangers! ??

Popular/mainstream terminology is something we can only react to. The changes are so swift nowadays that I find it best to say nothing publicly because someone, somewhere will be offended. But then 'silence is violence', so who knows.

I'd be really unhappy with a striker who had pulled out of that, when we're chasing such an important match. It was reckless but there was no malice in it. He got a deserved red card and that's that really.

Life is more tolerable when you don't pay much attention to comments sections on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram. They're largely inhabited by overgrown children and attention-seekers. It isn't the real world. I'm not sure why a racist comment made by a Czech footballer or some of the racist crap Roofe/Kamara and several Premiership footballers have recently had to put up with means we all have to self reflect. Should I self reflect when Messi doesn't meet his tax obligations or when a celeb selfie on Instagram prompts comments about obesity or ugliness? Goldson said in his interview yesterday that taking the knee is a 'token gesture', so it's about time the patronising box-ticking stopped and the football authorities and Police deal with racist acts accordingly.

I wonder what the Wolves goalie's lawyers will think of this. It was a relatively close decision.

That's outdated terminology. It's People Of Colour (POC) or Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME).

The delay in raising an offside flag is just nonsensical. It adds nothing to the game and as last night showed, someone might get seriously injured as a result.

This latest revelation bears all the hallmarks of a Scottish Nationalism Party order, much the same as the Police Scotland statements last week.

The likes of Hibs and Aberdeen will never get past the first couple of qualifiers. The yahoos have performed poorly recently but at the same time, we have definitely over-achieved under SG. Regularly competing in the CL group stage is what we need to be aiming for.

It's part of the matchday routine now. Castore should think about bringing out some knee-pads and when we get back to games, we can all join in.

I don't doubt John Brown was full of good intentions. Now is as good a time as any to unite behind the club and try to reign in sniping against other Bears or supporter factions.

Stuff like that is best ignored.

All the best to one of our greatest managers.

"Given the damage caused to Club property recently". Did someone try to give the Piggery a scrub?

It is absolute nonsense though.

I'd like to see Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham City, Portsmouth and Bristol City up there too.

I know we're an incredible support but I don't think we've invented a time machine yet.

It was a good score, for us but they have some good players and we'll have to be at our best next Thursday. Hopefully a full week to prepare should see us back on form.

There are rumours the game might get switched to the Monday. Wouldn't surprise me, although I doubt Sky would be happy and that wouldn't help Scottish football. I still think a few Bears will turn up at the Piggery, regardless of when it is played.

Same goes for George Edmundson.
