Heard a wee rumour the other day that we were supposed to get Gordon Smith in on loan, but Hearts pulled the deal at the last minute claiming that he was now ready for the first team after his spell at Stirling and didn't need any further loan spells to further his development.
I'm quite sure the next player we get will be from Hearts.
Pretty much one of the worst draws we could have gotten. A long-ish trip to somewhere we already go twice this year, and a ground we traditionally don't do well at.
I had a peek at AFTN just there to see how the game went. Hilarious stuff, folk gloating about a win on penalties in a pre-season friendly.
Still almost a quarter century since a competitive win against us.
Had work at 7:15 to 11:15 this morning, came home, did some work in the garden, fell asleep in the sun for an hour and now i've to go back to work 5:15 to 9:15
Folk always say that about two left footed centre halfs, but not two right footed ones. I never saw any grumblings about "imbalance" when it was Campbell and Murray as the CB pairing. What about Ferdinand and Vidic? Terry and Luiz? Puyol and Pique?
Want to go tonight, but have no one to go with, so I won't be going.
I imagine we'll go with:
McGurn
Murray / Hill / Ellis / Dyer
Williamson / Walker / Davidson / Hammill
Baird / Graham
I imagine this is the formation that will be McGlynn's first choice.
Wilson should still be playing in the first. Comfortably. I'm still pretty gutted we didn't keep him, he's the best right back we've had in my time supporting the Rovers.
