Unbeknown to me , the events had started to unfold when I was on a plane taxying for departure at Frankfurt Airport . We sat at the runway holding point for 45 minutes , which was unheard of , and everyone on board was getting a bit restless, thinking there was a problem with the plane . Then the pilot told us that German airspace had been temporarily closed, but even he didn't know why. We then departed , there was no further announcement or any mention of what was happening until we arrived at Glasgow , with everyone turning their phones on followed by a barrage of text messages !

Correct , Millar played as a right winger with Shrewsbury and Tanser lost his place last season at Perth because he couldn't defend in a back four !

He's started 9 games since that Dundee Utd victory , just sayin' !

Strange situation. McGrath gets the whole game v Portugal , does well , and Ireland almost pull off a famous victory. Then , playing a team at home where they should be looking to repeat their decent form and get a morale booster , he doesn't get a look in . Kenny doesn't do himself any favours with his chopping and changing , and he still cant buy a win !

Yes it is . 😶

Yes , surrounding area on the Love St side being improved as is the pathway leading down to it !

Even when he plays them out of position in midfield , when he has other midfielders available ?

At this point in time you're right. I think McPherson will come on leaps and bounds under Davidson , which will show up Goodwin as a guy who plays his favourites !

We have returned to Alec McLeish (last time) Scotland !

If Cammy does well this season , this could well be the rock that JG perishes on. I can see him signing a PCA with St Johnstone in January , by which time we would need to have offered him a new deal or we don't get a development fee !

If it works , his goals will keep them up !

If Goodwin allows Cammy to join another premiership rival on loan then he’s off his nut.

Terrible call from the ref , only a few feet away , Pogba's heavy touch leading to an over the baller on Neves , 100% foul . What's the point in VAR if the BBC have a better view of it than they do ?

Woeful stuff ! Playing for/hanging on for a draw at home , the same rubbish that eventually cost us top 6 last season, JG will never learn. If there isn't a place for McCarthy in defence , then he shouldn't be playing at all. McPherson gives us more options in there , both going forward and defensively. It's going to be a long, long season !

Get the feeling that the wheels are coming off throughout the club. Any possible deals which appear to be close are not happening , yet in the past I'm sure they would have been sorted quickly . The lack of pace and width needs addressing immediately , even if that means selling some of our assets to provide funds for the right players to come in !

Reminiscent of the doings at the hands of McGarvey and Nicholas in the 80s . JG needs to get things sorted pronto by next week or we're in big bother !

Abada's playing on the right today , I don't think it will be a flat 4 at the back , maybe 3 defenders centrally and two wide.

Absolutely. We would have two leagues of 20 now if it wasn't for the top 12 clubs wanting the opportunity of 4 OF home games a season.

Two future Saints in the pic , John Dickson and Jim Taylor. It would probably have been three , as we were trying to bring Billy McLaughlin to Love St too just before he was tragically killed !

He's a free agent and he's 31 , he has played less than 100 games over the last 5 seasons. If he wants to finish his career playing regularly he's going to have to look at all offers !

Club paying for supporters buses on Sat ?

Spot on , at the moment we are too predictable. Everyone knows we play 3-5-2 . We're limited ,squad wise, to change that to 4 at the back because Tanser isn't a tackler/defender. I suppose we could reintroduce McCarthy and push Dunne out to LB , as he has played there before.

The lack of pace in wide areas is pretty worrying !

With the news today that close contacts of players who test positive will still have to isolate , then as long as the players are using the stand as a base , instead of Ralston , then there will still be restrictions !

"Manager Karl Robinson stated that Kennedy would bring "pace, trickery and excitement" Kennedy was described by Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore as "quick, [he] likes to take on defenders" Maybe McInnes wasn't playing him to his strengths ?
