Must be very tough to compete with Dundee and their 5k crowds.

No idea if it is true but, should it be, it proves why football finances are a complete mess. The clubs have given all the power to the players and managers. Several millions for failing at a job lasting less than six weeks. Madness.

Nothing majorly wrong, just that fussy, had to be involved nature. I had been at Harborough earlier in the day and that ref was similar.

All part of the plan. Let Hearts get a good lead, the board will spend in January after the pressure, Celtic win it and Rodgers hails the character and belief.

There is nothing about the place. No buzz, no build up, a flat crowd who barely turn up 5 minutes before kick off, those already in get a pointless light and fire show. Must have been 10k empty seats yesterday. A tired fanbase in a tired ground.

We seem to be the reverse of the Maresca team, good in the first half but much slower and unthreatening in the second. Difference is that the previous team generally got the match won. We look like a team that plays well in parts but not clinical enough and our lack of a decent striking option is obvious.

The fact is, if you want players of the quality of Oliver Skipp and Jordan Ayew, the money has to come from somewhere.

It just wasn't the same without them.

Not sure about that. There has been recent talk about Israel and Israeli clubs being banned from UEFA competitions plus Aston Villa are obviously a massive part of that region. Plenty of people would have known this was happening. I'm sure the decision will be reversed and huge pressure on the Police to keep as many safe as possible. Don't envy them.

Good to have some different games this year like Portsmouth, Wrexham and Oxford. A decade of West Ham, Crystal Palace and Southampton brings a dull familiarity.

Steven Finn is a good choice, sounds good on TMS. Not keen on Swann at all.

I like how we are playing at a county cricket outground.

Didn't Percy say it was starting in November?

That is never a foul.

None. They are their own entity although I think they had previous links to Millwall.

West Indies with some really tame dismissals here.

I agree. The whole song is a good listen, especially played in full at a lower volume.

In a world of dreadful goal music, Chelsea Dagger is the worst. Chelsea have brought it in recently and provided reminders of how grating it is.

In what way? The press never wanted him in the first place.

2002 was ok, 2004 England played some good football and were unfortunate to go out. 2006-2016 was dire, barely any memorable tournament matches.

"I'll tell you something, that man was a winner".

How would it work, let's say, if we played Man United in a "home" game in the US, for example. Our crowd would be dwarfed several times over so we lose that advantage but do we keep the gate receipts? Are they split evenly? Which matches are chosen and where? It is coming now, that is clear, but interesting to see how far the clubs go and what they give up to get back.

What were the "exceptional" reasons? This is the start. Sad day.

I think he needed to go for his own wellbeing. Just a ridiculous appointment.

Why have Hamilton and Clyde swapped grounds?
