Big JET and Ramsay looking very good. I had sort of assumed Aberdeen would drop off a bit this season. But they might be alright.
Given the result in the other game, Aberdeen might be in a playoff for group stages!

It's a diamond, technically, it seems.
Brown sitting, Hedges on the right, Ojo on the left, Ferguson at the "tip".
Turns into a 4-4-2 depending on how Hacken are attacking, with Ferguson dropping in beside Brown.
Leaving some hefty gaps sometimes but that's always the issue early on with new set ups it seems.
I think you're right. I'd say when defending it almost looks like a 4-2-3-1, with JET dropping in too.

4-1-3-2
Brown in front of the back four
Hedges Ferguson Ojo
Ramirez and JET up top
That's sort of how I had it down. But at times it looks like Ferguson is sitting. Then it looks like Hedges is right wing. 'Fluid' would be the kind way to describe it.

What is the structure of Aberdeen's midfield? I'm trying my best to work it out

I don't see category 3 tickets on the website, I'd be tempted to go - but not paying over £100 a ticket.

Armstrong, Christie, O'Donnell all fairly anonymous/useless. Dykes barely winning anything despite the long ball strategy.
Yet we're still clearly far better than the Czechs. Got to go and win it.0 -
I think it's one of the best shows the guys have done. Absolutely loved it from start to finish.

God, are we awful to watch.
Getting sick of this formation. The 'success' we've had with it isn't actually all that impressive when you look at it.

Belter of a 0-0 tbf. East Fife robbed of the win. Looked like they should have had a penalty, then 10 mins later goal disallowed to give an East Fife free kick, no advantage played.

Everyone else getting the feed effectively pausing every few seconds? Quite frustrating. Has been a decent game though.

I'll ask again. Why is 50k supporters singing about '****** bast*rds' any more acceptable than racism ?
Why is there such indignation about Kamara being called a monkey, and such defensive behaviour about Rangers fans glorying in sectarianism?
It's not. Which is why those songs are banned and people who are identified as singing them get lifetime football bans and when they were audibly heard in last seasons competition we had sections of our stadium closed.
Bringing it up just now, when a player has been racially abused and we're all disgusted by it makes you look like you don't actually care about it and just want to point score. It's a shite look mate.

Glen: "He's fucking racist"
Zungu: "He said fucking money"Both react immediately and together, if they can't punish that - then they literally can't do anything.

BT can't "effectively confirm" anything unless they picked it up on their microphone, and there has been absolutely no indication that it was.
They confirmed Kamara has called it racist and Bongani Zungu reported it to the fourth official.
Gerrard in a long conversation with their management team about it too. Weird to decide to be pedantic on that.

I'd be disappointed if we didn't at least use the Faroes game to take a look at an alternative right back option.
Whether that's Rooney or Patterson, or something else.
O'Donnell and Palmer are average, and have played in poor teams at a fairly poor level all season. It's worth a look at something else.

So it's not a conspiracy, but Celtic helped Rangers to maintain their playing license, probably wrongly?
Why do you think that might be? They are codependent?
Everyone outside the Glasgow fishbowl can see it for what it is.
Not sure where I suggested Celtic helped in any way.
My comment was that it's not a conspiracy that people are putting together to pretend Rangers are the same club. Rangers are the same club, because of the events following 2012.
You can agree or disagree with that being the right thing to happen at the time. But it did happen, Rangers are here - and we just won the league! I'm delighted.

So my question is, why weren't other clubs that liquidated like Gretna or Airdrieonians, allowed to transfer their license to their "other company?"
I'd also like to point out it's not conspiratorial to suggest the SFA were shitting themselves that Rangers might have to reform as a new club and no longer exist, they were trying to scare fans/clubs at the time into allowing them to retain their top flight status.
I don't know the specifics of either scenario, but its probably fair that being one of the two biggest clubs in the country helped Rangers' case, rightly or wrongly.
Probably because more people cared (emotionally and financially) about trying to ensure the club continued.

Another thing that sticks in the craw of someone like me is the fact that all negative aspects of the "old club" can be forgotten. Things like debt, people seeking compensation for sexual abuse etc. Yet, positive aspects, like honours won, are undoubtedly the same thing and 100% carried over. It can't be both ways.
One of the things that transferred from the old company to the new company was the SFA licence.
There's was a big deal over it at the time, it took ages - and Rangers accepted that transferring it over this way meant we'd receive punishments that Rangers were due to receive (e.g transfer bans). But effectively it means that the Rangers playing today are playing under the same licence that Rangers have had for decades. And it's why SFA and UEFA recognise us as the same club.
It's boring and technical - but that's the reason Rangers fans are right and Sevco nuts are wrong. UEFA do a 10 year coefficient to hand out prize money, and Rangers get points for the 2011-12 season, and for having won the Cup Winners' Cup.
Its not a conspiracy. The reporting at the time was premature, and the shock value was probably to sell papers.

Getting tight between us, the Austrians and the Ukrainians.
Really need a win next week.
We'd just about need to get to the final to overtake Austria. Need to hope Keiv get put out, then we need to match Shakhtar's performance to stay ahead of Ukraine.

What is Aberdeen's formation?
Is it meant to be a 3-4-3 with Ferguson and Hayes as wide 10s? Looks quite lopsided.

Love that style of Last Minute Winner. And the Levein segment was incredible.

Nobody should be permitted to come out of retirement for a tournament when they have contributed nothing to getting there.
I appreciate the opinion he shouldn't come out of retirement, but Alan McGregor played more than any goalkeeper in our route to qualifying. He played every minute in the Nation's League group we won to get into the play offs.

I'm a top tier subscriber on both Heart & Hand, and the Terrace. Adam is one of the better podders on H & H, and thought he was a great person to have on the show a few weeks ago to discuss Itten and Roofe. Adam, Caroline and Jordan Campbell have all been good on Rangers centric pods recently.
He admits freely throughout the show he doesn't watch the other teams a lot, which is fine, but I tend to agree with the majority that guests with little interest outside their own team aren't great for the main show.
It just doesn't fit with the general tone and what you expect.
I think because it's an OF fan, people are being more harsh - but there have been fans of non-OF clubs with the same attitude on the shows. Nothing against anyone who is an expert in their team, and views things through that prism, but a more well rounded view of the league, with a slice of partisan opinion, is what you usually get from the Terrace.

The segments in A View From the Terrace are nice in that they break up the show, but personally I like the segments with chat. I like that they’re fans rather than ex-pros.
I’ll maybe give Open Goal a go, so I can compare and contrast. Listening to ex-pros on BBC Scotland generally isn’t a rewarding pastime, so either the ones on Open Goal must be a lot better or some fans just like listening to ex-pros.
Kevin Kyle is, rather impressively, one of the worst 'pundits' in Scottish football.
