  1. Looking at this objectively, I think both parties are “in the wrong”, so to speak. The board are disconnected from the fans and have done little to improve that relationship recently.

    But…

    The Green Brigade were morons over the Hamas attacks. There was no need for that banner, it was ill-thought out, and it appeared to revel in the murder of innocent civilians. Not acceptable, regardless of your opinion on the conflict. I’m very much in Palestine’s corner with regards to illegal settlements and Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people, but that doesn’t make murder acceptable. The banner was way out of line.

    I supported the waving of the flags against Madrid. I think what Israel is doing in response is wrong and breaking every rule in the book when it comes to war. But this was the game to make a point in, not the Kilmarnock one and much of the damage was already done.

    I think the constant use of pyro is a joke. Some displays can be nice to look at but in most cases they’re pissing money down the drain by doing it, just to say “get it up ye!” to the club and act rebellious.

    And finally the behaviour of certain fans around the turnstiles and fire exits is just neddy. Behave like that and what do you expect? I can’t say I’m certain it was the Green Brigade responsible. I’d expect it from the likes of the Bhoys, who I personally despise and who aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. But forcing open fire doors to let people in is quite pathetic.

    I like a lot of what they bring atmosphere-wise, but I think there’s just massive amounts of immaturity there that I can’t help but roll my eyes at.

  2. I’m finding the manslaughter / murder claims, many from people who haven’t watched a game of hockey in their lives, to be really distasteful. And wrong.

    He catches an edge after he makes contact with the other player. At that speed it sends him flying. At first I thought it was reckless, but having seen the slow-mo replay I’m not convinced he could have done anything to avoid it.

    Bizarrely the MAGA crowd are turning this into a race issue and calling it a hate crime against white people. What the f**k…

  3. Geno worries me. Did enough to win but from the start of the second until the last minute he was a disaster. It’s difficult not to root for him, but he’s been miles off it recently.

    I think we’re looking way ahead of where we should be in our development and the defence fills me with a lot of confidence, but I don’t think we’re a contender with him at QB. 

  4. Wasn’t just the goal though. The guy was at it all night. Every 50/50 given their way, McGinn completely wiped out on the edge of their box and told to get up.

    It was really one-sided. Don’t think we can argue that Spain didn’t deserve to win, but we weren’t helped in the slightest.

    I should imagine that it's got something to do with the cold blooded murder of innocents and the hand wringing defence of it.

    I doubt that you would justify the same if some random ended the life of your wife and your ideal island existence.

    Closer to home than the comfortable Canary Islands, we all know who the oppressors were in Ireland but that didn't excuse the two cheek gangsters that followed.

    I never justified it or attempted to do so. It’s wrong.

    I said that Israel has to accept some responsibility for the situation deteriorating to the point at which it has come to this. And that’s true.

  6. There’s clearly no justification for the murder of civilians. And it’s not a black and white issue, but Israel has to accept significant responsibility for this, Netanyahu more than anyone.

    Oppression breeds hate, and it’s very difficult to argue that Palestinians haven’t been oppressed. A significant portion of the international community recognises this, but Israel can’t be held accountable because the US constantly vetoes any proposal deemed detrimental to Israel at the UN. That’s not a reflection of a fair system.

    Its a depressing situation and there’s a very real risk of genocide occurring here imo, but it’s not a surprising one. There’s no justification for defending Hamas’ actions, but it’s been coming for a while.

    It’s quite difficult not to criticise the refereeing team in this one and argue they have not hugely impacted us given the blatant red card missed two minutes in. 

    You can criticise them for that, absolutely.

    That has nothing to do with the 75+ minutes of whingeing about everything else though.

    So, a good refereeing performance ?

    Not particularly. But the constant complaining at every breakdown, in every single game Scotland play on here, is biased, boring and a pain the arse to read. The same posters are guilty of it during every test, and there’s never mention of anything that might go our way.

    It’s always seemingly us that are being screwed by the referee.

    Only other thing that makes sense is that it was all a big hoax to get the Ukrainians to do something rash and they didn't take the bait. If it was a genuine mutiny and they really are returning to their bases I seriously doubt Prigozhin will still be alive by Monday.

    It seriously weakens the view that the Russian people have of Putin and their government.

    Not a chance it was planned.
