The harshness heaped on Devine is going way over the top, no-one is enthused by him being playing but he's an average defender who is of Championship level. No more, no less. A useful squad player but the sooner Murray is back the better.
I'm assuming that with Gill not playing in the reserves in the week that he will be in against Alloa and hopefully he does enough to edge out Scully.
Be a tough game, definitely one of the better sides. I always find Donaldson impressive while Keatings and White are very dangerous. Getting a win is very important, but I'm not overly confident.

It was a massive f**k up. IIRC graham was coming off injured and 2 subs were lined up but both were sent on before word got to the other player to come off. Couple of minutes was probably not really true but the whole rovers support and both dugouts were screaming at them so it probably felt longer. Think that was the 2-2 game after mcgregor got sent off, so technically we weren’t playing with 12.
I remember the game and remember McGregor running into a daft challenge in a way that made the second booking look inevitable. If I recall correctly he didn't play many minutes at all after that game.
I don't remember bringing 2 players on and one coming off though.

Him and Cochrane don't strike me as typical players put out on loan. I don't pay all that much attention to the Premiership but I am familiar with both. I'd imagine the development outlook is attractive for clubs putting their younger players through for a season or so.
I have noticed only good things said Greg Kiltie, always nice to see the parent club's fans a bit annoyed at a player being loaned out. His name makes me think of kilted sausages too, good start for the lad.

I'm no sure information on how the recovery process is overly accessible or detailed enough by the NHS.
I'm back at work today (day 5), been taking it easyish. Didn't go out for two days and mostly spent them on the couch. Done the big shop on Saturday and a bit more again yesterday.
Still slight swelling, bruised and tender. Mild pain if I'm walking too much. The worst bit is the growing back of my pubes though and the uncomfortable Y fronts for support giving me some chafing. Braw.

Aye that's a fair point. My dad was talking about his that he got around 30 year ago and he was sedated. You don't get offered sedation these days, must be easier now and considered unnecessary.
This week has been horrible, the recovery is definitely worse than the procedure.

Just be prepared to have two large, overripe and ultra sensitive avocados instead of testicles for the next couple of weeks.
Aye, but then a lifetime of leaving it in.

I had my procedure just last night, taken in at about 6.55 and I was back in the house by 7.35.
I'll be honest, I was up to near panic levels waiting to go in. But it really is all over nothing, the local anaesthetics sting a wee bit aye and then the rest of the procedure with a dull ache in your tummy, like you've had a sore one in the balls but it's calmed down a little.
Lying in bed in my tighty whiteys for the next couple of days.
It really is nothing at all.
EDIT: was told to overlap paracetamol and ibuprofen afterwards as it will hurt, but I've had a completely pain free night. So even that's fine.

I'm unsure if Callum is on a wind up or not, but Devine is definitely not as bad as is made out on this forum. He's not the most solid we've seen no, but over the past 10 years there is has been an awful lot of poor centre halves that were miles behind Danny Devine.

Would be very harsh for anyone to be dropped after the Celtic game. Barring any injuries or suspensions, I'd say the only change I could even see happening is Coley or Ryan coming in for Edwards, since he was brought in out of nowhere at Parkhead.
Doesn't seem to be how Crawford works. Very much has specific tactics, particularly up the field for the opposition rather than the guys currently in staying in until someone pushed them out.
I'd imagine the back four will remain, big opportunity for Stuart Morrison with Murray out for nearly two months. The set up out in midfield and how many upfront will depend on the coaching staff's analysis of United.
I watched the Friday night game last week and wasn't overly impressed with United. Shankland can pop up and nick a goal from nowhere though. There's that guy Butcher who is just a there to break up play and kick folk, he'll likely target Turner and break things up. Peter Pawlett is the best footballer in the league IMO, he came on last Friday and won them the game I thought.

Think people forget Ashcroft is still mid-20s as well.
True.
Has played a lot of games and even captained Kilmarnock in the top tier, into his fourth season here and pretty much ever present the whole time. Very experienced for a 25 year old.

Read somewhere we had an average age of 23 on Saturday, despite having Paul Paton in the starting XI.
Didn't sound right to me so had a wee look, was surprised Lewis Martin was still only 23.

What's the script with Dundee Utd tickets for Saturday. I've went on Interstadia but they don't show up? Would it be safe enough to nip in to the club shop before the game on Saturday?
Yep. Open from 10 right up till kick off.

I was quite impressed with McGill and how he was a wee bit aggressive against Celtic
McGill has been impressive. I've been surprised at how physical he is and is scoring plenty of goals regularly in the reserves. Nisbet, Ryan, McCann and McGill all looking really good and competition for places seems rife. Seems Callum Smith is doing very well at Airdrie so far as well.
I'd have expected to have seen more of Tom Lang by this stage, other than that every player has surpassed all expectations I had.

Did anyone else here their tannoy just before kick off, it was like a cult calling. Bizarre stuff.
Anyway hopefully Nesbit will have a bit more action on Saturday, well need to be every bit as resolute at the back but will have more chances on goal if we can keep our ratio of one scored for every 3 shots then it should be enough.
Yeah, I mentioned this at the time. Particularly the Hail Hail... then whatever it is after that in a monotone voice. I can imagine them all wide eyed repeating it. Perverse club and support.

I felt the style of play last season didn't suit him, he's still got quality in there. It was if AJ tried to use him as a target man last season.
I still think if you get him in form then you'll have one of the best players in the division.

Dundee weren’t good the second half. They picked up the pace a bit but we invited them in to it and seemed to be blowing out our arse after an initial 10 minute spell after the kick-off were we played well. That’s a concern for us, definitely. But still miles better than last season.
We should have targeted their baldy CB more. He was hopeless. Nisbet was getting so much joy off him.This was my take on things. They had a lot of the ball in the second half but I never thought they really threatened too much or looked that dangerous from open play. Took until Dunfermline were tiring to do anything.

The peri peri chicken I think you're talking about - yes it's very nice. The sandwiches are utter dung though. The Co Op near my work does hot food too and the pies are superb.
Goodfellow and Steven supplies Haymarket. Excellent.

Co-Op's selection is pish.
Lidl is only a further 5 minutes for me but their bakery (which is excellent and amazing value for money) is unpredictable when they'll be stocking so I have to use Co-op. The beggars outside aren't homeless, they're just fucking potless due to how expensive their shopping just was.
I like the co-op meal deal. I'm fond of the chicken skewer things with sweet chilli sauce that comes under the bracket of snack.
Spicy chicken pasta box with coleslaw in it that I can't remember the name of, those chicken skewers with sweet chilli dip and bottle of Pepsi Max for £3.50.

You're talking about a club with a worldwide fan base and in particular has a strong tradition of Scottish players.
I was at the game and have no leaning to any English club, I took my son along for the spectacle. Just because Liverpool can sell out Murrayfield is not a reflection on our game but a reflection on how big and far reaching Liverpool is.

Yes.
I will favour any Scottish club against any other club in Europe and want to see all the Scottish clubs go as far as possible. I still feel this but to a lesser extent with Rangers and Celtic. I don't overly care about co-efficients and am sceptical as to how much of an impact these actual make or the amount of money coming into the Scottish game from teams in Europe, it is purely a case of national pride on my part.

1. Dundee United
2. ICT
3. Dundee
4. Dunfermline
5. Partick Thistle
6. Ayr
7. Morton
8. QotS
9. Arbroath
10. AlloaArguing with myself whether I think Alloa or Arbroath will finish bottom. Decided on Alloa as I expect the usual good start from Arbroath still on that wave of positivity and Alloa still finding their feet with Peter Grant.
Hopefully it's an open race right with 3 or 4 in it going into April, I don't think any team is stand out at this stage. Might come down to who identifies what they need and recruits the best in January.

Probably the case tbh. When I think of the "weird" kids from my schools, now I'm older I reckon they all had some kind of mental illness, most likely autism. I was never a bully or even a teaser so my conscience is clean on that front but when I think back about some of the kids I imagine a lot of people probably picked on them because they were "weird".
It makes you wonder if mental health awareness such as autism should be brought into school. Sadly a lot of adults are still clueless so it would be a good start if it began in schools.It's absolutely true what you're saying, however Autism is not a mental illness. Though mental illness is more common in people with ASD. As an autistic adult myself, I reckon some you're likely right with some of the stories but I reckon kids, mainly boys, can be right weird without any help. My son is also autistic and schools are much better equipped than they were for autism nowadays.
I was likely a bit odd at school, I would talk to people but never had any close friends and seek more time on my own than with others. I played football and that pretty much was my whole interaction with others at the time. I think that's more typical of autism than some of the frankly chilling tales on here.

on paper it looks great, my only concern would be it would leave us a bit more exposed defensively with Dow, Coley and Turner being more attack minded
but until we see more of those 3 it's probably unfair to judge them if they are asked to play a certain way, so could well work
I'd be quite happy to leave ourselves exposed and watch us compete 4-3, 5-4 wins and losses with £20 on a BTTS single every week.

Do you find you drink differently than you used to though? On a night out when I was in my early 20s we'd neck a few shots of whisky as it was cheap and would do the trick early, a couple of pints, maybe some daft alcopops and a few shots in there too. Where as now it's largely just pints and the odd gin or something for me. Even after a heavy night a hangover now is more of a slight inconvenience in the morning than multicoloured spew and unable to eat for the day.
