Gallagher, Halkett, Lithgow All gone.

Some deft editing. So little to go on.

All clubs have to have goalies warming the bench. It's the nature of the position.

You're right. My mistake.

And he's the referee v Hibs on Saturday. Wonder which Livi player will be sent off this time.

Odoffin can play?

Grass is ideal but the Macaroni Arena is below the water table and very probe to getting waterlogged in any rainy day. It's been a problem since the stadium was built. Now that we have the plastic I don't spend rainy Fridays worrying about yet another postponed game.

Holt has said the other players got us to where are and Dolly can't just jump into the team. He also said he needs to see where Dolly is fitness wise.

What's the rush? He's on an extended contract. He could go to Rangers and disappear like the raft of players they took from other SPL teams in the summer and now being punted after half a season. If he believes in his own ability he'd be better advised to stay with Livi at least till the end of the season putting himself in the shop window for a decent move then in a way that probably would not happen at Rangers.

He's on a decent length of contract so there's no hurry to sell him.

We signed him and loaned him back.

Has Souda ever played a full 90 minutes? Must frustrate the hell out of him.

A wee chat with Devlin and Crawford might help him make up his mind.

He didn't impress me last time round.

Any reason for that I wonder?

I don't think we've seen the best of Tiffoney yet. I'd keep him and hope that he gets some game time to show what he can do. Odoffin has not impressed me any time I've seen him and Pepe has become something of a ghost figure. Is he really still here? My main concern is that if we don't act soon Sibbald and especially Lawless could be contacted by another club and sign pre-contracts. I'd like to see them get new deals. I'd be mighty disappointed to lose Sarkic now. Surely a team as big as Aston Villa has more than 2 goalies available. Stewart makes too many wrong decisions for my liking.

Watching an English PL game today I'm listening to transfer fees of £50 million + being paid. Are we underselling our players when they go south?

Too right. An absolute cheat.

It was a foul 7 minutes into a game. No more than that. Berra fouled all night and got away with it. Greig Aitken played to the booing of the crowd.

The alliance was working well last time we met with the 1-1 score and share of the points until the incompetent whistler awarded a penalty against our goalie punching the ball clear. Time for a wee bit of luck going Livi's way for a change. I'll take it on Saturday.

Motherwell won fair and square yesterday. Makes a change from the dodgy refereeing that cost us points in our last two games.

The big teams always get the advantage in these situations. They shouldn't but our useless referees can't help themselves.

Having read that I went back and looked again. There was ample time for the ref to blow for the penalty. Certainly a lot more time than it took for him to blow for the sending off. Seven red cards for Livi since 2017/18. Five of them have been given by Aitken. He's also denied two clear penalties in that time. Food for thought if nothing else.

If the idiot had given the stonewall penalty the red card incident would never have happened.

I think Tiffoney is stronger than he looks. I've seen him hold off big guys in the few games he's been given a chance. The upside of him looking fragile of course is that he's more likely to have the foul given. I remember big Kenny Deuchar often getting battered in games and getting nothing because of his build.
