Really looking forward to my first visit to Dingwall this weekend. No doubt we must play better than first half at Livi, and do wonder if JG will change the starting lineup.
Durmus to start with McAllister on the bench ?Absolutely not. McAllister needs to start every game unless injured.
Mullen instead of Andreu ?Yes. Mullen deserves a start.
Play two up front ?No.
Start Kirk ?Yes.
Magennis on bench after starring for Scot U21s, or start him as he’s bound to be buzzing and confidence after tonight’s win.
Nice to have options... -
Just went to book my train ticket up....
126 pounds return.
What the actual f**k?

What I am saying is that all of the UK supreme court judges will be highly aware and competent in their scrutiny of a judgement made under Scots law. It happens in so many walks of life already and no-one is crying about other appeals that have gone from Edinburgh to London.
Those bringing the case say it is not about Brexit, it is about the abuse of power and what is really highlighted is the absence of a reliable user manual for the governance of the UK.
There will be no grounds for outrage and i say that as an independence-leaning Scot. If people choose to use a decision that is made in the UK supreme court as evidence that Scotland's voice is never heard then I am afraid that will be a set-back for independence. There is a strong enough positive case for independence and there is no need to resort to faux-outrage as a way of forwarding the cause.
Well indeed, these are the rules we have to play by.
Makes a pretty strong case for changing the game though.

Illuminating insight, Cockles.

The projections for losses on a no deal leave are purely projections . We get 4% on our exports to the Union , currently currency can fluctuate that on a daily basis . Europe would be battering down our door for "a deal" if we got away with WtO rules , the so called no deal .
Basically it would be a jail break that , has been seen , the majority of the establishment on both sides of the Channel do not want , makes you wonder donit?
FWIW a German MEP has already pointed out that the British departure is the equivalent of 20 smaller countries leaving( there are on 27 countriesin the con). We are the second biggest economy in a project that is already teetering on financial collapse
They are doing their best to make an example of us
Do you understand what WTO rules are?
It is the worst possible trading position, not something to be happy about!

I certainly get it. Do you honestly believe the UK will overnight become a third world country if we leave with a No Deal?
The UK has the 5th biggest world economy, do you not think we’re capable of maintaining that by striking trade deals with other countries on our own?
Ideally we should leave with a deal........ but one that benefits the UK.1. Thats not the question. People did not vote to leave the most damaging way possible to the economy.
2. Correct, the UK will not maintain its position in the global economy. I don't think there is much doubt at this, it is going to enter a serious period of decline and wont be in the top 20 in future.
"One that benefits the UK". You actually believe all the guff you come out with? Once the UK leaves the EU without a deal it will need to go round begging for whatever deals it can get. What a starting point for any negotiation. The EU isn't going to abandon Ireland to make the Tory party happy either, the final deal is no way going to "benefit the UK".

The SNP are elected to defend and promote the interests of Scotland.
What a bunch of moon howling pensioners in England & Wales want is none of their concern.

An acceptable outcome.

There must be a few promising youngsters coming through if they are able to get these results against senior teams.
Well done lads!

I’m afraid it’s true chap. David Cameron did state it’s an “all in or all out”
David Cameron has said the British people must "have their say" on Europe as he pledged an in/out referendum if the Conservatives win the election.
The prime minister said he wanted to renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU and then give people the "simple choice" between staying in under those new terms, or leaving the EU.
The news was welcomed by Eurosceptics who have long campaigned for a vote.
France and Germany both warned the UK could not "cherry pick" EU membership.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-21148282
Also strange that within hours of the MP’s blocking a No Deal Brexit, the Bank of England state that a no deal Brexit would be less severe than first thought.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/04/bank-of-england-revises-impact-of-no-deal-brexit-from-8-to-5-of-gdp
If Brexit is stopped, then democracy is dead in the UK.Good lord, this just shows how poorly informed most of the public are on this, yourself included.
Leaving the EU and single market does not equate to leaving it with no deal for what comes next.
Do you genuinely not understand that?

A deal wasn't part of the campaign to leave but Cameron and Osborne said quite vocally that it would mean no single market no customs union , they basically said it would mean leaving everything
This is nonsense. They constantly talked up how easy new trade deals would be struck. Crippling the country by leaving us unable to properly import / export goods for an extended period of time is not what people voted for.

The squad looks decent in quality, hopefully the new strikers will be fully bedded in by the Ross County game, KB is an upgrade on Baird & it'll be interesting to see how JG fits in him, McLoughlin & Makenzie into the team. My only worry is the size of the squad (21 on the OS) but as I've said elsewhere Erhahon & MacPherson are still in the development stage of their careers & Kellerman is clearly for use in emergencies only.
I'll be happy if we maintain our current position.....
McLoughlin will be getting fitted right on to the bench going by his performance at Livingston.

What about Hamilton?
If you include them then we would have 4 clubs below us and us just 1 or two place off the top six. Unless I am mistaken.
Yes along with County they are all clubs we should aiming to compete against. We won't beat all of them though, I think 9th is a realistic target for this season.

Well something we can all agree on for once.

No doubt our new manager and the BOD/Gus have done their best given all kinds of issues which they faced.
Given that Oran inherited a load of dross amidst a few players, he did what he could in a short time. Much as we hoped for more than survival, it was our minimum goal and we achieved that. Of course the squad had to move on, but not because we had players who were only good enough for the play-offs - over the last 10 games our points etc. were nearer top 6, but mainly playing in games against bottom 6 teams. However, some of these guys would not stay and some were being let go to make room for better.
The real answer is : We will only know over the season. IT does look like we will have a go and be a bit harder to beat in some games, but it is early days and we have a smaller squad. This means some glaring holes if we pick up long term injuries or suspensions to key personnel.
I would love us to finish 4th, but I would be very very surprised if we finish top 6. (AND I am an optimist)
7th to 10th then we have done fine for now. Anything less would be really poor...
My final thoughts are : - We should be better than Hamilton and Ross County (but they may spend big in January). The Fakes don't look as good as last year at this point - so we might finish above them - especially if May does not perform or gets injured. Killie too a bit in transition and not likely to do as well as last season - could we finish above them??. We should do better against Liv in the other games we play them, but we may not. The likes of Hearts, Hibs and Well will all likely finish above us. The other 3 are way above us too... (even though we beat the Dons last time)
Having lost to Hibs & Livingston I would say it is fair to assume we won't be getting anywhere near the top 6.
Hearts, however, are there for the taking. If they stick with Levein we should be targeting finishing ahead of them. St Johnstone and Killie likewise.

I suppose we’ll likely see if it looks like this squad has been thrown together or it actually looks like we've Signed quality. Too early to know for sure... like late July was far too early to say the DoF model had failed.
Oh Bazil.
Seek help.

We didn’t have to cobble a squad together quickly. We did the opposite & completed our due diligence on players. That’s why we’ve been comfortable in offering so many of our squad longer term deals & much less reliant on loans
yes our LB is a loan signing but so far he’s been solid & we have players that can cover if need be. It’s historically a tough position to fill for a lot of teams.
We shall agree to disagree.
Well, you probably won't actually.

I was very concerned over the centre of defence, hopefully Broadfoot solves that worry.
Like others concerned about the wastefulness of our strikers so far. I see good link up play but poor finishing. I'd actually rather have Cooke and Mullen up there thus far. Hopefully we will see more from them in the upcoming games.
Left back is a problem still, but this is what happens when you have to cobble a squad together so quickly.
Pleased with our 25 central midfield options.
Kyle McAllister is an outstanding player. He won't be here for 3 full years.
Looking forward to Djorkaeff breaking in to the team at some point, and hopefully seeing more of Cammy Breadner too.

"the 20-year-old could again well prove the difference in keeping St Mirren in the Premiership – just as he did by scoring in the playoff win over Hamilton at the end of last season."
Utterly clueless!

It's not complicated, Jack Baird will need to learn basic passing skills to get a game. JG wants to play a fast counter attacking game. That would be difficult if every pass your centre back plays is directly back to the opposition.
Best of luck to Jack and hopefully he comes back a better player.
