A lot of modern football fans seem to be horrified by a long ball. For me, if it gets goals, it's fine. The problem is ours don't often get goals and we seen to do it more out of desperation than thoughtful intent.

Same old story: we don't take enough of our chances and give away silly goals. . It's worrying how predictable we are.

He looks younger than he did 25 years ago! 🤣

You'd hope me the 7,000 Bears booing them off might wake them from their slumber but I won't hold my breath.

Sergio Porrini's completely fake hair has cheered me up a wee bit.

Something isn't right. Everywhere you look there are problems but the team just isn't functioning as a unit. Unless drastic changes are made, this season is going to be a nightmare.

They did get relegated!

2-0. Nothing positive, so far.

Same here. His passing has been really poor. The whole defence looks rubbish.

Matondo and Yilmaz both should've done better with those chances. That drum is making watching this even worse. Hopefully they don't take it to Germany.

Yes, I deliberately ignored it.

Aye, we don't seem very organised. It's a growing concern.

You were saying?

Also, it's a 7.30pm kick off (just in case anyone was planning to start watching at 7.45pm).

Hopefully Danilo can get a goal and McCausland and McKinnon give a good account of themselves.

Nah, Arsenal and Man Utd have sung it that way for decades.

Infuriates me, especially the Man Utd version. How to ruin something great in one simple step.

Talk of Lammers moving has cheered me up a bit but there has been quite a lot of positive talk that has went nowhere, so...

I can't remember a pre-season being this low key. Obviously, there's still time for quite a lot to happen but I'm dreading seeing the same old faces line up against Hearts. Downhearted is the word to describe it.

It's the hope that's the killer.

I heard a Man Utd fan called a Rangers fan a "Jock bender" and this has been reported as a racist homophobic incident by the press but they've excluded the specifics, unsurprisingly. Fear or irrational hatred blah blah blah. Sticks and stones...

Or yellow, judging by some of the comments. I said earlier in the thread Partizan are rather crap these days. Humping them doesn't make DK a good side.

These rumours have been flying about various sites for a few days. I tend to take them all with a (large) pinch of salt, although it's not hard to believe we're trying to move several players on, given Clement admitted that needs to happen before we can bring others in. Just over a week to go to the CL qualifier deadline. We'll be a step closer to knowing if we're off to Belgrade or Lublin in a couple of weeks, later today.

Is Phantom not usually just a wind up merchant? I'd be very wary of any foreigner who wants to 'invest' in Scottish football.

Dynamo Kiev play Partizan tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7pm (UK time, for those of us who bother about clocks).
