That and the fact the conditions were horrendous, I always thought that if we kept it to 2-0 at halftime we would have a chance in the second half playing with the wind and rain!

Decent performance against a team with their confidence up,not much between the teams. Sprangler a definite find and I like the look of Robinson .Drey looks like he’s starting to get back to something like last season’s form.Don’t get all the hate for Carey, at least he always makes himself available and as someone else showed on another topic his stats are as good as most in this league. I know people like to ignore stats but they are usually a good pointer.

Never a penalty referee got it totally wrong as he did most decisions never a red card either 

Sorry missed the humour!

St Mirren will be thinking we should be beating teams like St Johnstone. There was nothing between us last year and I don’t think there’s anything between us this year.l believe we need to beat teams like St Mirren but to say we should be beating them is totally different.

Got to agree, this year’s league is the toughest for years, giving up points in any game is not an option. Agree that Thursday is huge but what happens if we qualify for the group stages and have another six huge games. We really have to take each game as it comes giving them all the same importance.

I should have gone to spec savers!

Middletons effort didn’t look over the line to me. Thought we were pretty poor only Ali Mcann trying to drive us forward gained pass marks Middleton also decent but apart from that nobody else looked above average maybe Thursdays game took its toll 

Austria doesn’t allow travellers from the UK

It must be Prague or Rapid Vienna as Celtic play winner of Psv/Galatasary 

Hibs fans slagging off their players but only shows how good our defence is our players are totally underatted by the Scotland management once again!

I’m fairly sure that will be part of his remit bring young players through then sell them for a decent price

I can see results

Have already said this on here but I really think we should consider using Rooney up front. He has pretty much every attribute needed by a modern centre-forward - he's big, powerful, out-paces opponents and his attacking headers are fantastic. He's practically unbeatable in the air. Not saying he should play there every week but throwing him forward when required would give our play a completely different dimension.

Yesterday when we were chasing the game we put on MOH but it forced Rooney back into a more defensive role and only served to lessen our impact down that side of the pitch. I'd have liked to see Brown brought on to play right-back/wing-back and Rooney sent up top to play next to Kane or May. 

A bit like Callum Paterson started as a right back at Hearts but played in the middle and upfront for Cardiff and Scotland would definitely give opposition defences something different to think about.

Didn’t think the ref did too much wrong. Thought we matched Celtic pretty well just unfortunate for us that Edouard has found his form just before they play us.

Too many bodies in front of him. The goal was interesting from the point of view Hagi ran along the edge of the box until a certain point and then barely looked up before hitting it, like he knew exactly where to get to in order to get it in the corner, it was a clever move.

Yeah good goal but I was the same thought he didn’t look and quite a bit of luck to get through all the bodies

Thought Brown was fine not the easiest of first games

Thought that he got injured putting in a tackle earlier saw him taking a while to get up then limping away. Not that I’m excusing the Roofe tackle which was an obvious red but time to move on

Not been his greatest fan but he has looked a lot more confident of late and he had no chance with the goal last night.

Thought Bryson and Tanser both had decent games

Thought we’ve played alright tonight some decent football at times

Or the long cross right to the back post for Rooney

Apart from that what did the Romans do for us?

Must have been not a huge crowd and I think they brought about a thousand up.Don’t remember too much trouble but in those days the battles were the halftime entertainment!

July 1972 pre season friendly saw Malcolm McDonald score from the kick off after 4 seconds against Derek Robertson who was limbering up. Final score Saints 3 Newcastle 7 now Malcolm McDonald was a true international class player

Playing for Millwall in the cup today
