  1. Another gripe: There have been some absolutely blatant penalties that have been ignored by the referees and VAR officials. These aren't about whether a ball slightly touched somebody's upper arm, but about defenders absolutely bear-hugging attackers at corners, making it impossible for them to move, and even jersey pulling in the box to the point when it got ripped off the attacker's back,.... but no penalty given. Is the only foul that gets a penalty these days tripping somebody up? What's going on?

     

  2. You're down 0-2 and there's less than 10 minutes left to play.

    Scotland: "Keep possession, side-to-side passing, then back to the keeper, then more of the same, in our own half. Walk, don't run. We're going out, but we'll show them all that we know how to play possession football."

    Belgium: "F*eck this, let's get right at them. Waken up, lads. Goal! Goal! Right, let's finish them off and we're through to the next stage."

  3. Could the lack of a contract offer from any other club be a signal to Benway (and maybe more importantly, his agent) that he's actually not as "hot" as some people think (that includes us)?

    He might end up sitting on the bench for an entire season, or even longer. Easy money, I suppose.

    Hopefully we get some clarification about Clarke n McPherson today.

    Also, I see Fraser Taylor signed two year dal with St Mirren. Maybe he’ll go out on loan again. 

    Not especially keen to see him with us again.

    Of course, I'd love it if he came back and was brilliant for us!

    A wee bit of a ripoff going on here,  £12 to watch us play a junior team, I realise it's a late disision, but how about throwing in a free pie and Bovril..

    I thought the price was way too high too. A fiver would have been reasonable.

    Well, at least this is right: Brazil and Morocco both prevailing in extremely tough matches, and into the last sixteen.

    Makes Scotland's exit at the group stage appear not as bad as many of us feel it was. Either Netherland or Japan would have mollicated us.

    When you say o'Neil do you mean Dan O Reilly mate?

     

    Exactly, thanks!

    That's not the first time I've made that same mistake. No idea why! Probably lack of sleep this time (up at 2 am for Brazil vs Germany, straight into German vs Paraguay, then straight into the office......)

    I'm sorry he won't be with us for the season that's about to start. Reliable, never hides, as good as most at this level in the positions he can cover. Especially disappointed as O'Neil and Ashcroft are both increasingly getting caught out because they're getting slower, whereas McBeth is still only 27 (I think). Maybe they've offered him more money and/or more guarantees of starting matches. 

    Hope Wilson has somebody at least as good coming in or ready to step up when required.

     

    ETA: Wilson's comment about Luke's departure indicates that playing time was indeed at least one factor.

  10. Scotland manager resigns. Best for all. He did well to get us there, and your hands get tied even tighter when you can't rely on your defenders not to fall asleep just after the match kicks off.

    New blood needed: not just the manager, but also players. Honestly, whoever gets their first cap couldn't do much worse than what the whole world just saw.

    Well, Big Shoe got it right; Home Before the Postcards!
