I'm not sure about that. I think he's a dud at Premiership level. Completely failed at League 2 in England. Decent Championship striker but highly overrated by many on this forum and I said that when he left us !
Eammon Brophy is a far superior player to Gavin Reilly. Would be surprised if Reilly stays at Livi for long.

Ok I will take your word for that, but if true, I strongly suggest for his own wellbeing that he finds a new hobby, because he seems to get absolutely no joy whatsoever from being a St. Mirren fan.

I’ve resisted the temptation to respond to you until now. Mainly due to the fact that I’m not convinced that you aren’t just another sad troll. My thinking that you might not be for real in turn is due to the fact that in my entire life I’ve never come across anyone who was such a joyless article.
So I will ask you two simple questions (one of which you’ve been asked before and chosen not to answer).
Name one striker who you believe is within our budget that you would have preferred we signed?
By referencing Reilly’s scoring record at a lower level against Brophy’s at top level, are you saying you’d have preferred we sign Reilly than Brophy?

Maybe in the 1960's. 
A bounce up. 

I agree that it was a straight forward clash.  Although in those situations involving a GK, almost every time a Ref will give a free-kick to the goalies team. 
There is no way any ref would give a bounce ball there in that situation. 

Shaughnessy's mistake was a shocker, but I think Tait played his part by having no left foot. He should have played it up the line to Mason with his left, but turned back the way onto his right and put us in the situation. That is what happens when you play a right footer at LB I suppose.

I know Joe makes the mistake. But why the f**k is Tait playing the ball back from near enough the half way line. Poor decision making. Anyway game off. Darts on.

Last season I couldn't watch away games on SMTV. Had to watch through the home teams channel or Hesgoal. 
This season I get to see everything on SMTV. 

Watching our games on TV is no substitute for the real thing.I will put up with it this season but I don’t know if I would continue watching every week if it became the norm.

For 85 mins against Serbia, it was the best I have seen Scotland play for a good number of years. At the final whistle my Mrs had to scrape me of the ceiling. I am still on cloud nine about qualifying. 
However, I am also realistic. We have a long way to go. We are still losing to the Slovakia's and Israel's of this world. Teams which an almost (minus their best striker) full strength Czech side disposed of comfortably. I am also fairly confident a full strength Czech side will dispose of us easily at the Euros (I hope I am wrong). 
Yes, we qualified, which I am elated about after suffering while following Scotland home and away for the last 20 years. But it merely papers over the cracks. Clarke’s results haven't been so spectacular. And most of the performances have been dross. 
Those 85mins against Serbia have given me hope though! 

The Czechs were decimated in both matches against us. 
First game their entire team. 
Second game 6 of their best players. 
They would have beaten us home and away, if it weren't for that. 
A much better side who are light years ahead of us. 

In all honesty I wouldn't be gutted not moving into group A in Nations League. Think we are currently at our level just now and could do without seeing us getting hammered by better teams at the top level. The euros will be good but not expecting much from us. Still a lot of work to be done to get us to the next level which we are a fair bit away from just now

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one Bud. 

I think the formation works. Results-wise it is definitely effective, but from an entertainment point of view it is a borefest. Maybe when we get the players who are missing back, that could make even more effective and give us a bit of excitement into the bargain. 
Both full backs have to go for starters. Palmer and Robertson back in. 
 

O'Donnell is mince, and that other full back, Taylor from Celtic, isn't much better.
Hanging on at times here.
McGinn is class at times, can pass a ball. 
Still 1-0, 64 mins. 
 
 

Exactly what I expected from Stevie Clarke. Wee Craigie Broon was criticized for the same thing.
Decades later, he might just get the credit he deserved.

Agree with this 100%. It was a very decent performance. 
That was as solid a performance from a Scotland team as I have seen in years. No thrills and got the job done. I would take that every time.
