Caught a wee snippet of the STV news last night and I think it said around 8,000 complaints had been made. An utter nonsense and massive waste of time/money on another gimmick brought in by the SNP.

Think it'll be a fine looking at the punishment dished out to Motherwell in years gone by.

Looking like Dundee could be hit with a hefty fine for failing to invest/maintain their pitch. While I'm well aware the amount of rain has been excessive in this area it seems they have focused on the players rather than the pitch and protecting it from the elements.

Dundee v Rangers off again. What a shambles.

No quite how I saw it but game on for the return games next Wednesday.

3-3 final score. What a game, superb goals and, again, a brilliant performance from the referee who never allowed any hard tackles to become "fouls". Brilliant fitba.

Real 3-3 City, my oh my, what a game of football. 79 mins.

Real 2-3 City, oh my, another superb strike by probably one of the last players you'd have thought would have scored, Gvardiol. 71 mins.

Real 2-2 City, the in form player Foden, who's had a poor night, with a superb strike. 67 mins.

What a game the referee is having in the Real game. he's ignored half a dozen good tackles and let play go on. Still 2-1.

Real 2-1 City, jeezo, breathtaking, break away and the ball trickles into the net. 15 mins.

Real 1-1 City, massive deflection takes the ball into the net. Don't shoot you don't score. Game on. 13 minutes.

Real 0-1 City, what a strike in the 2nd minute, caught the Madrid defence sleeping after a brutal tackle on Grealish. Picked the right game.

Arsenal v Bayern or Real Madrid v Man City, two massive games tonight. Still undecided what game to watch. Fancy both English teams to win.

Indeed. They are amongst us. 😉

🤣🤣🤣

Too far. 😜😜😜

Another wee decent return. Stuck this on when Liverpool were 2-1 down and their stats to score in the last 15 were pretty tempting.

United 2-2 Liverpool, final score. Great fitba, great drama. Been a pretty food day to watch fitba, 10 goals.

United 2-2 Liverpool, Salah, penalty. I said he was some player.

Just said something similar to a disinterested Mrs Faraway. Salah especially seems to have the wrong boots on the wrong foot.

United 2-1 Liverpool, what a strike by the young wonderkid Mainoo. 67 mins.

United 1-1 Liverpool, a self inflicted goal by Liverpool, although beautifully executed by Fernandez. 50 mins.,

Ok, decent post so we'll leave it at that. Oh, I certainly don't enjoy the level of abuse our mangers get, a key reason I stopped attending home games after the abuse Lennon was getting, aye, some of our support do think we should be Real Madrid.

Ok, now we've calmed down a bit, I was, and still am, of the opinion Goodwin was/is limited as a manager. He had a very up and down season with us the season he left, Aberdeen took him on the crest (didn't he have a horrendous run earlier that season?)but I was on record saying they had jumped the gun and he was, IMO, average. Too defensively minded, a draw and parking the bus against the OF was his idea of fun. Saying he was our best manager in a generation, purely on league finish is selective and omitting cup victories which should be taken into account so, no , I don't accept that. As I mentioned earlier, there was growing criticism form the Dundee United support which has slightly abated after the win against Raith. Let's see how he does next season in the top league.
