0-1. Bayer n scored with 20 seconds left of first half. Lot of pace in the game but not much goalmouth action. Bayer n much the better side. Taylor might have done better at the goal.

Is it lack of concentration or confidence that they lose so many late goals? I assume it is not fitness.

Kiltie does not look fit. Looked very sluggish and actually looked tired having only been on for20 minutes. Mandro n and Phillips were both out on their feet after 70 minutes. Seems to be problems with fitness or the style of play does not suit certain players. Mandro n played very well but had run himself into the ground.

Do not often watch it but have taped it tonight.

Must be biggest upset ever. Dwarves Berwick.

Tottenham goalkeeper just thrown one in the net in first minute . Wou l d be better with Queens keerper.

Smashing game. Linesman guessing it ball had g one in for Newcastles first goal. Birmingham second goal was brilliant.

Finishes 1-0 Hibernian. Ayr ran out of steam a bit. From our point of view the resurrected Hibernian actually did not look any better than they have been for a a while. Only lost 1 in 14 according to commentator but very poor.

Ayr 0 Hibs 0 . Couple of chances. Ayr centre should have scored but no left foot. Boyle missed a Couple of chances for Hibs. Not a great game but quite interesting. Hopefully picks up in second half.

Will be watching Ayr versus Hibernian in the Scottish Cup

Sorry 4-0. Tottenham lucky to get 0.

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 0. Spurs constantly give the ball away. Their goalkeeper makes some strange choices of when t o catch or punch or pass to a defender on the edge of the box with two or three forwards round him. Liverpool look like winning this unless Tottenham can cut out th e errors and keep the ball going forward. Looks like a 3-0 Liverpool.

Unless it is someone who can go straight into the first team then forget it . No more squad fillers. We have lots of them just not enough first team players.

Basically two pub tea ms. We only have one tactic. Send it long for Olasanya to chase. The lesser teams sit in and stop this.We have no plan B. Against Aberdeen , Rangers and teams that attack us we we OK. Against teams who sit in we are hopeless.

Celtic fell out of it in the second half though it was not out of sight until the awful fourth goal. Entertaining night.

Very entertaining first half. Best games are when defences are not great. Villa looked as though they would score a barrowlo ad but Celtic hung it and got back level. Lot more goals to come I think. Could be about 5-3.

What a smashing day out. Lovely weather , but chilly, good display two smashing goals and one gift. Played well throughout. Defence solid. Phillips outstanding as usual and Mandro n and Olysan ya leading the line well. Mandro n gets a lot of stick but we have no-one else who holds it up like him. Bonus today with two excellent finishes as well. Most enjoyable day.

Last five minutes were quite exciting. Rangers scored a very good goal after dreadful defending. Manchester then got a late winner. Buckland scored Manchester's first goal by punching a corner into his own net. Commentators love the atmosphere the Rangers supporters bring. They obviously cannot make out what they are singing. Overall a poor match between two very poor teams but an exciting finish.

Rangers 0-0 at half time. Both sides have had chances but overall a poor match with too many errors and misplaced passes.

So next January then?

'Rangers at Manchester tonight. Although they are a poor side they are well suited to European football. Could be a decent match. Think they are better in Europe because their supporters do not expect them to attack all the time as they do dkmestically. Allows them to hit on the break. They have a lot of pace breaking forward.

Tempted to give it a miss. Do the Club even get much of a payment for this?

Celtic scrape through in the end but made very hard work of it. Will be interesting to see who they get in knock out round b u t really need to be more careful with the ball.

Three chalked off and missed a penalty. VAR correct each time. Usual modern penalty. Wander up jump in the air losing all momentum and then pass it to the goalkeeper. Celtic by far the better side but , as usual , look as if they could lose a goal anytime.

Celtic and Rangers will both be on. We could be one of the other two. Hopefully not a Saturday tea time.
