Pie Of The Month

On for Salah for the last 15mins. Encouraging that he's being chucked in when it's 1-1.

1pm kick off and then potentially a load of added time could push this game into the blackout period for TV. Wonder if they'll be allowed to stay with the game on TNT if that happens.

DFB Pokal weekend and a load of it is on Viaplay in the UK Braunchweig v Schalke on right now Saturday Balingen v Stuttgart (12 noon) Arminia Bielefeld v Bochum (5pm joins in progress due to the UK blackout) Bayern v Leipzig in the Super Cup (7.45pm) - Sky Sports Sunday Essen v HSV (12 noon) Lok Leipzig v Eintracht Frankfurt (2.30pm) Oberachern v Freiburg (2.30pm) Monday Lubeck v Hoffenheim (5pm)

Wes McDonald signs, that one has come a bit out of nowhere.

Off to St Pauli on loan it seems.

Find it strange Ngwenya would want to come to us on loan where he's going to be injury cover rather than Arbroath where he'd play regularly or Ayr where they despise their full backs and would welcome him like a God.

Jacob Brown on his way to the Premier League according to one of the local Stoke City journalists.

Tommy Conway is out for up to 3 months after getting injured in Bristol City's first game of the season. Probably ruins any chances he had of pushing to make the jump from the u21s to the senior squad for the foreseeable future.

Are we the only full time club that seems incapable of selling away tickets in any sort of easy way for fans to buy? It can't be that difficult to sell them online and keep a handful aside for people phoning or going up. At least this time we didn't have people leaving a playoff game early to make sure they could buy them.

It'll be interesting to see if Doak gets into the Liverpool Europa League squad. He doesn't qualify as home grown or one of the u21 players since he hasn't been there long enough so has to be registered as one of the 17 non-home grown or underage players the same as the likes of Robertson and Salah.

I suspect the 2024 Nations League draw will be after the March fixtures since there's League C/D relegation playoffs being played then alongside the euro 2024 playoffs. They could just do the draw before then with "Playoff winner 1 and 2" and "Playoff loser 1 and 2" in placed in some of the groups in Leagues C and D but with Lithuania and Belarus being involved when they have winter restrictions and Gibraltar and Cyprus involved when they have excessive travel restrictions it would probably just be easier to do it afterwards.

Liam Cooper scores for Leeds and then gets stretchered off after landing awkwardly.

Mowbray said that he's not expecting Ross Stewart back until the end of September for Sunderland.

Anyone know if the office is open at all this morning? Need to pick up new season tickets and really can't be bothered with having to head up early and queue at the Jackie Husband ticket office.

Buses are all over the place and I think any bus that goes up Maryhill Road is stopping its normal route at Oswald Street at the other end of town and not picking up it's regular route again until Maryhill Road so I don't think any of them will be of use to you from near the bus station. Taxi from the bus station if going the quickest route to Firhill won't go near the road closures so should be fine. It's about 30-40mins to walk it if you're able to.

UEFA website now showing the game as being in Tbilisi.

Looks like it's sold out at 9.

East Stand sold out at 11pts by the looks of it. North stand still on sale.

I was happy with McInroy until I went in the Ayr thread and learned how skint we are.

2pm on the Sunday confirmed for Hearts.

McBookie have opened up their top goalscorer market now.

It's worth anyone either driving to the game or getting public transport via the city centre to check out the below link to make sure your usual route isn't impacted by the cycling world championships. The area directly around Firhill is largely unaffected but one of the race routes includes parts of Maryhill Road north of the stadium, a small bit of Great Western Road, Cleveden Road and Byres Road so traffic might be a bit mental elsewhere due to the road closures. https://www.getreadyglasgow.com/cycling-worlds/traffic-and-travel

Hearts away in the cup. Won't be the Saturday as Hearts are in Europe the midweek before.

Looking forward to a few pages of Rovers fans talking about fans bringing a union flag to games like we got for our visit at the end of last season.

Normally I'd want a cup run but either of the OF away in August could mean an extra signing or two.
