Football is fast becoming NFL - just a playground for rich people, watched by tourists and gullible people with half and half scarves and a tonne of merchandise. Everything the was great about going to the football - the tribalism, the community - it's all dying out.

Does Zwarte Piet know where the game will be played?

I just noticed we play AZ Alkmaar away on 17 Oct. I have a Dutch pal who is an AZ fan - I quite fancy a trip over for it. Anyone know the story with where it will be played? I'd be less keen if it's just a field somewhere.

Same here. Used to really love Scotland but now I don't even watch them. I'm not one for wanting them to lose - just not interested.

We're good in spells but tend to fade away in games. If we can develop some consistency, get stuck in to opponents and keep putting away chances, then we can improve a lot on last season's poor efforts. Giving a good account of ourselves against the scum has to be done after that 5-1 disgrace.

I went to watch this match in Edinburgh today. Linfield won 2-1 and it was a fairly even match, although Linfield deserved the victory. The Linfield fans seemed a good bunch - a wee bit of anti-Glentoran banter and the usual repertoire. I did notice a couple of younger lads wearing Tim tops in amongst the home fans ...they just can't help themselves. Decent afternoon at the football though.

It's up to Pena himself and to a lesser extent PC to get the best out of him. All we can do is hope. If he does what we hope, I think we have a cracking midfield on our hands.

I like Dodoo - clever player - and hope he does well down there.

Jack is a tidy midfielder. Unremarkable but when you actually watch what he's doing, he does it well. Halliday was fairly useless a lot of the time. I have no idea what his preferred position is.

I think we are far better off after the window. Particularly in midfield and defence.

No need to apologise.

They have a habit of employing criminals.

Okay, craig.

I thought he was decent in a defensive midfielder role.

No surprises there. The sheep are or should be an insignificant club - let's put them back there.

Rangers Football Club is based in Glasgow. That's what this forum is about. I apologised and understand the reason given but don't like US bastardisations of the English language.

Just saw that. Thought he was decent enough with us, so not a bad signing for them (unfortunately).

Makes sense.

Are you really JFK? It's 'central defence'. Apologies for pedantry.

We have to finish above Aberdeen and challenge Celtic. If we do that, then who cares what some nonentity 'journalist', McLeish or the Ross County manager have to say.

Considering our club's current stature in European football circles, I'm not sure times have changed for the better. Back to the topic - hopefully we bring one or two more in, although I won't hold my breath (I'm not bothered about Walker).

We now have Aiden Wilson and Declan John in the squad. My, how times have changed.

He's been brought in to replace/cover for Wallace.

That sentence is unpleasant.

Barjonas and Wilson both look capable of the step up. I really hope Pena does well and then we'll have a good midfield (particularly after last season's poor midfield).
