Quite a few names who would generally feature not involved even on bench. Currie, Quitongo, Cochrane, Connelly, Murray.
All injured, including Currie. Everyone who is fit is in the squad
Eta - except maybe cochrane, not sure if he's still suspended

I'm playing through it again just now and my next gambling challenge is the busting one.
I don't mind most of the hunting ones but the ones with woodpeckers and other small birds/animals are a pain.
I also dislike the final herbalist where you have to pick everything but only because there's nothing to track what you have already picked.

Yeah it's some sort of issue with Android, and specifically seems to be Android running on Samsung mobiles.
Assume will be cured by some subsequent patch but until then we're stuck. I believe it doesn't happen if you use Chrome on your Android device but not 100% sure.
I'm using chrome on an android Samsung without any issues

Mckenna will be playing right back surely.
He played right back earlier in the season but he's been right of a back three recently with Gibson jnr at right wing back.
Depends whether Murray wants to change to a back four

No just the standard ones on Netflix - where would I be able to see the extended ones?
They're on peacocks, so maybe they'll be available over here when it launches. Otherwise, you'd have to download them from less reputable sources.
They could be on the dvd releases, I've never checked

For me one of the funniest scenes in the show (and there were fucking hundreds) was the one where Dwight had attacked the mannequin in the first aid course and put it's face on as a mask. When he turns round and does the Hannibal Lecter sucking through teeth and says "CLARICE" I nearly fucking wet myself. In fact I'm in fits just thinking about it now.
Absolutely brilliant show. Could watch it over and over.
Have you seen the extended episodes?

Anybody want to hazard a guess at our shape? 4-2-3-1 with Gibson at right back (miracles do happen), Irving left wing potentially and Connelly just in behind Paton?
I was thinking either 4-4-2, Lewis and Connelly wide with Paton and Irving up front, or maybe 3-5-2 with Hendrie at centre half and the two Gibsons as wingbacks.

Currie to get injured for the banter.
If he did we could bring in an emergency loan

So, neither reserve keeper is eligible for Saturday's game but Fox leaves two days before the match by mutual consent.
A game Fox couldnt have played in anyway. Motherwell wouldnt let him get cup tied.

Obviously I've not seen Morton as much this season but they seem to at least play with a bit of positive consistency. Queens on the other hand can fluctuate wildly between very good to absolute dross. If we can get a performance out of them like last week V Montrose or recent games V FC Embra then it could be a decent contest which could go either way, but play like we have against the likes of Falkirk, or the capitulation against Alloa, then it could be a case of how many Morton want to score. Hoping for an away win here but I'm ready with the "Ah well we can concentrate fully on League business now" cliché
Not sure yet if I'll make the game, any chance it's being streamed?
Won't be streamed in the UK, it's still covered by the blackout rule.

Greedy b*****d.

Pretty incredible interview from WG bemoaning the lack of noise from the support yesterday. Given there was just over 900 QoS fans there (less if you believe there were 45 Montrose fans) I think he should be grateful there are fans still bloody turning up; maybe not wise to have a dig at those who are.
And Sandra's "Looking at the bigger picture, it's not that bad?". Holy f**k.There werent 45 away fans. It was 13 or 14, dont remember which. The communication has broken down somewhere between the confirmation of the crowd, it being read over the tannoy and put on the updates.

I agree with your first paragraph but not the reasoning for playing three at the back.
I do agree that we are weak in central defence (all across the back line really). However, I don't think that throwing in another weak central defender is the correct approach and it certainly isn't making the most of the talent in our squad which, as illustrated by your post, lies in the midfield, with some attacking options.
In a broad over simplification, there are two main ways of making a team like ours harder to beat. Play more defenders to try and cover for their lack of ability or, alternatively, play more technically proficient players resulting in the team having much more possession and so reducing the burden on the defence.
I would play 4-3-3 with Todd and McGrory either side of Wilson. I'd have Lewis Gibson and Paton in more advanced roles either side of Reilly up front. LG would hold the width on the right wing getting crosses into the box, whereas Paton would more likely be cutting in from the left. I realise that it's not perfectly balanced but I think it would be a productive system.
Just my opinion, of course, but that's what a fans' chat is all about.
I think you should listen to Patons interview
I mean everyone should listen to Patons interview anyway but he talks about playing through the middle with Gav

I can't bring any of these youngsters, as the game says I have four domestic loans... I have two plus one from England

Watched up to episode three, agree that the first one was a bit of a slow burner but Alan lying on the sofa with a broken leg in episode two while Colin boasts to everyone about his Tinder conquests was superb
Siobhan Redmond is excellent as well as Colin's slightly unhinged new girlfriend...... the scene where she's cleaning Michelle's blouse while everyone looks on awkwardly while Colin has an uneasy pervy look on was brilliant
Nothing against the actor but the character is fuckin awful. Totally one dimensional and not funny at all.
Still, an enjoyable series

I'm four episodes in and finding Colins new girlfriend far more annoying than Cathy. She also looks about 20 years older than him

Currie is also a w****r of a guy as well as being a shite goalie, been Wullie's biggest mistake (been a few) has been putting him back in the team
I dont know if he is or isnt. All I can do right now is go and tear up his contract in my Football Manager game

The most depressing thing about today is that I'm not remotely angry. This loser mentality is what I'm used to now and we've come to accept it. Just pish all round.
If you had witnessed that second half you would be angry

That performance totally sums up this squad of players. Playing some great one and two touch football when Alloa made the mistake of standing off us and allowing us to play. As soon as Brian Rice realised that they needed to get in our faces and start really pressing the ball our whole team fell apart from front to back.
Continually playing with 3 CBS should, in theory, give us some defensive protection but not when Messrs Currie, Hendrie and the two McKays resemble mannequins. What an utter shambles that second half was. I said after the Edinburgh match it was a mistake to deploy Lewis as a wingback expecting him to be a principal creative threat going forward and also provide some protective cover in the RB area. To ask a 17 year old to perform that dual function simply highlights how flawed the team selection actually is.As I have said repeatedly the solution at RB is staring the manager in the face but his continual absence beggars belief.
i would assume that with the impending World Cup break some Premier teams will be looking to loan out some fringe players. A GK and an experienced CB to partner East would be a good start but in all honesty the problems here are so deep rooted that it might be easier just to wait for the Peterhead and Edinburgh fixtures to come round again. Truly gutless stuff and Hendrie’s petulant behaviour at the end spares us the prospect of seeing him in action next week.
Dont think we can loan anyone in until January, can we?
What did Hendrie do? We all assumed it was dissent, but there didnt seem anything controversial about the goal at all

Embarrassing is the only word to describe that second half performance. I get the Alloa fans are happy with the result but I wouldnt get too carried away, you will not come up against a worst defensive performance than that again this season - well maybe three more times
I dont think I've ever seen such a turn around in performance levels between one half and the other, nor such a spectacular collapse in any game I've watched.
First half we were reasonably comfortable and, after scoring early, had several good chances on the break to extend the lead. Second half, we were never, ever in the game, offered nothing up front and no control in midfield. Obviously, we were also awful defensively. The back three couldnt deal with crosses or any high ball forward and Currie did his usual line inspector impression, watching as Alloa played the ball past him. The whole defence were at fault, but surely now Currie is finished with us? Fox has to start next week and lets hope we bring Cowie back as soon as possible as back up.

Is it a back four today I take it? And how have we played?
No, three at the back.
Alloa had a lot of the ball after we scored without doing an awful lot. We've wasted at least four good breaks forward and Alloa scored with the rebound from a corner
