    Thinking about the transfer window. If you could strengthen the side what position do we need better quality in? 

     

    I'd like a quality left winger - would be good to have the option of having pace down the left. Kiltie does a good job but his best work is done in central areas. If we had Tanser and a left winger overlapping we could seriously cause opposition managers a headache

     

    Someone like Lewis McCann, Matty Kennedy or Scott Tiffoney

    In dreamland I would take Youan from Hibs :lol:

    Behaviour of our Fans

    in Tartan Army Ramblings

    Treating the entire Scotland support as one entity is a bit naive. You get folk that go to every game home and away - you get folk that just bought a ticket because it was a big occasion, you get folk who treat it as a night out and get right on it, you get folk who go with their families. Just worry about yourself and let police/stewards do their job if it's required

    Away from home is a bit different as you're part of a travelling group abroad

    Unless they're hiding them from us it's clear England don't have some 19/20/21 year old striker coming through to be their next starter at number 9 when Kane has enough and retires from England duty.  

    They have some absolutely superb wingers and number 10s who are in their early 20s, so they're fine there, but where's the next Harry Kane?

    Anthony Gordon looks a player tbf, can play up front

    Liam Delap another one set to come through

    Batshit Mental Away Supporter Rules

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    All jokes aside, it seems that there has been a dedicated effort by some of those in positions of power/influence - to make life difficult for football supporters.

    When was the last time there was widescale violence at a football match in Scotland? Rangers v Hibs cup final? 

    I guess if you've never followed football, you read some of the clickbait headlines about a small skirmish and assume that football fans are marauding around Scotland torching towns and smashing up pubs...

    I've rarely been to a pub on our supporters bus that hasn't greeted us warmly. They are always glad of our arrival and generally it's a polite and friendly experience. 

    I guess the least nefarious way of looking at it is that those in the positions of power/influence need to do something to justify their job role, and football supporters are an easy target. 

    The skeptical, conspiracy theorist part of my brain points to the fact that governments have been becoming more and more authoritarian over the past decade, and football supporters make up a large percentage of the working class population that could pose a threat to them, if club supporters came together to resist them. 

    Unsure which version is closer to the truth

    I know the game is done now and there's a list of strange refereeing decisions being debated, though why on earth did Miovski not pick up a yellow for goading W7 after his goal? 

    Btw did anyone see what was happening on Ferguslie park avenue after the game? 

    Wasn't much, saw a bit of a scuffle as I was walking through the carpark towards Feegie but nothing overly serious. Thought the atmosphere was pretty good inside the ground and Aberdeen fans I met were a friendly enough bunch 

    A few points 

    Aberdeen looked no better than they did last season. Robson's interview after the game was a bit bizarre, can't see him lasting too long. Duk in particular is shite

    Miovski should have been booked for his celebration, he knew it was a double hit and so did Hemming. VAR had already wasted about 20-25 mins of the game so taking another few minutes to get that decision right would have been the right call. Not sure why Beaton didn't have a look, especially for a game deciding decision like that

    Robinson spoke well after the game. Have been critical of him in the past but no question that he's getting the best out of a small squad. We played some tidy football so as long as we can keep the squad fit, we'll do alright

    Motherwell v St Mirren 27/10/21

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    100% shouldn't have been a retake but I will take it

    Motherwell seem to be lacking in the middle of the park, we dominated the midfield for most of the game

    That save from Kelly at the end was legitimately world class, if that was in the EPL they'd be showing it on loop

    If Goodwin can find a way to eradicate these 5 minute spells of madness we'll have a pretty good season

    Despite every takeaway in Scotland being open we can't possibly buy a pie from a pie shop in front of a two men and their dug crowd.

    Shambolic. Not the clubs fault obviously just rhe "science" not making a lick of sense again. 

     

    Aye none of it makes sense, shame for the club as probably losing out on a fair amount of income with a decent crowd expected. Hopefully they have some donation buckets out (unless that is banned as well) 

    Sandwich and a bottle of coke it is :( :lol:
