    This is the weirdest experience.  

    Scotland have a vital qualifier, the sort of away game that's a total banana skin.  It's going so well that it's almost a bit boring.  It's become a background presence as we blether about other stuff.  I think we might have just hit the post...

    Yep. I don't really know what's going on. I've been mostly tuned out of this game for the last half hour, mostly spent in group chats and online talking about how good we are. There has never been a second of doubt tonight. The 'this really doesn't feel like Scotland' vibe, and the whole thing feeling a bit strange has been a recurring theme of this campaign.

    Would the 'creative control' part of it being soft penalties for Celtic and/or random red cards for the opposition should Celtic not be winning a game?

    Doesn't have to work house shows (midweek cup ties in winter)

    True, you'd imagine Celtic have already enquired about a loan move.

    Lot of murmurings on the #ITK grapevine suggest it's happening. Likely won't be until the last day or two of the window i'd imagine.

    It'll be beyond surreal seeing him back, and i can't wait to see what sort of nonsense we/Desmond comes up with to pay (likely) half of his wages. Cut of the burger van profits, the half time draw going straight into his pocket every week etc. Scottish football's answer to Hulk Hogan's WCW contract basically. 

  4. Commentary is a bit weird here. On a couple of occasions you'd think someone was clean through in the last minute despite them being miles out wide, surrounded by players and for it to not even be a half chance.

    Take it and run.

    As good as Jota is, hes never joining a top club in a top 5 league IMO, so its unlikely you get Tierney-esque money for him offered if he turns down the Saudis.

    Ach aye you're probably right. He'd maybe get there eventually (still unlikely mind) but wouldn't go directly from us. 

    It's similar from his point of view. He'd be bonkers to turn that down - he's not getting that type of money from anyone other than the top two or three clubs in England who would never buy him.

    As always with these things a certain section of our fanbase who've yet to come to terms with our place in the footballing food chain(and that it isn't 1970 anymore) will throw the toys out the pram but there's no great injustice here. Fair play to Jota, he's been brilliant for us. Buying these players, them giving us CL football before moving on for a tidy profit is our aim as a club, and the only way we'll get anywhere near being the type of club we ultimately want to be.

  6. We're a decent side now aren't we? Really great to see.

    In the past this game would've been the stumbling block, but this side have confidently grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and ignored any notion of it being a nervy affair by taking control from the first minute. This lot have no time for the 'typical Scotland' defeatist shite. We can actually pop it about too. It's all a bit strange, but it's fucking great and i'll continue being happily puzzled by it.
