Why the f**k are we trying to throw this away? Surely Clarke can see that the players aren't comfortable with three at the back? I mean, they should be - they're professionals, but they are panicking.

I'd take Armstrong off before he gets sent off.

Christie and Armstrong need to waken up and get in this game. They are channeling Forrest and McGregor from Friday night.

Yaaasssssss! Ya fuckin beauty!

The Czechs are just full of beans and spunk right now, what with the entire team being chosen out of the blue. We'll grind them down and beat them. Trust me.

There's truth in what you say, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as: (a) it was his first game, and (b) up until a couple of weeks ago, he was playing for Livingston, whereas most of the others are earning fortunes playing for rangers, celtic or some EPL team. At the minute, he's got the jersey and I think he did enough to keep it. The rest need to get a fucking grip, they were absolute fucking shit.

Dykes did his job well and Christie took a beautiful penalty, but not one of the rest get pass marks. Zero creativity from what should be a talented bunch of players - McGregor - anonymous. Robertson - confused/disinterested. Forrest - awful. Burke - ? I don't know how he keeps getting a game? Jack didn't make on forward pass, which is fine if everyone else is looking to go forward at every opportunity and his role is the recycler, but we had 9 ball recyclers out there. But we looked frightened to take a chance. We looked scared to drive forward. Israel, on the other hand, looked full of energy, drive and creativity, if a bit ropey at times.

It seems our tactic is to break forward, really slowly. Then turn back, and slowly pass it all the way back to the keeper. He nudges it out to a centreback, who lumps it up the field, losing possession. Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+v.....

When did we bring McGregor on?

Awful. That shouldn't be allowed. I've wiped my monitor down with Milton after it had to emit that atrocity.

If watching Steve Clarke manage Killie taught me anything, it's that his teams nearly always improve in the 2nd half. It's like he takes the first 45min to figure them out, then he knows how to beat them. Unless they're Aberdeen.

Now we can sit in and play a bit less cavalier.

Yasssssssss. Ya dancer.

Palmer has given SOD some decent competition. He's been in the doldrums this season, needs to be more cavalier. He's getting there, though. SOD will rise again. McKenna is your typical big, strong lump but his problem is that he's too 1-dimensional at the moment. Needs a move away from McInnes to reach his full potential. Findlay will take over the left CB role when he's back fit. Findlay is a modern CB: strong, pacey and can play football. McKenna and him might work together, with Findlay reading the game and telling McKenna what to do. Not sure how well he follows orders, though. Forrest and McGregor were relatively disappointing again. McGregor woke up with about 10 minutes to go and started zipping passes about. Where had that been all game? Mind you, at least they didn't call off. I'm looking at you, Tierney, Robertson and Fraser. Taylor, Gallacher, Naismith all did well. Jack has played himself into contention. He could be the disruptive, hard b*****d we need beside McTominay. McGinn is an absolute machine. Christie could be even better than McGinn. Great result! Onwards and upwards!

Was the speed issue fixed for the actual game or is it still as bad as folks were saying about the beta? I like big databases, so I'll stick to 2019 if it means a new laptop.

SOD's assist for the first is a thing of beauty. Porteous had no chance. A thing of beauty. Pass of the century. Or, if you work for BBC Sportsound - "a big lump up the park." Just checked my notes on this... Derek Ferguson also thinks Carlos Alberto's 1970 WC Final goal was "a bit of tippy tappy then just a heids doon big toebasher". Willie Miller describes Zlatan Ibrahimovic's overhead kick from 30 yards V England as a "failed clearance". Richard Gordon thinks Diego Maradona's goal against England was "Headless chicken type flukery."

Well, that was unbelievably shite. Refreshing, in a way, but not a good way. We were clueless. Brophy got bossed by two big lumps. He needs to try to find space, but he got absolutely zero support. We hardly created anything. Jesus fucking christ on a bendy bus.

Nope.

I was being polite. [emoji6] The good thing for us is that we don't have MJ in charge. He'd have gift-wrapped and delivered SOD to them for the first offer. Having Bowie in charge gives me hope.

I don't think the SOD rumours are true. 900k would be an insultingly low bid for the 9-times capped Scotland international right back. Especially from a team about to be £25 Million better off for selling a crocked KT.

Thanks for that - I might still give it a go, but I'll have a look at some other options too. I had a look into Everspace, but the guy I watch play it on twitch just made it look like a boring grind. X4 has got poor reviews on steam, too. I've still to do a bit of research into Elite: Dangerous, but it might be the best option.

Looking for a new game, and I fancy a bit of spaceshippy RPG action, with dogfights and exploration and trading and the ability to upgrade your ship. Been thinking for a while about trying Eve Online, but it looks incredibly tough to get into. Also considered Elite Dangerous, but been told a lot of the game is spent travelling. Anyone got any info about these games or other suggestions?

IF YOU BUILD IT, HE WILL COME

Yeah, I heard he struggled. Still, he's only young. Hopefully he'll learn from it.
