Beale out.

Trying to think of a United player I've actively disliked more than Watt but drawing a blank. The fact we're chucking about 4 grand a week at this waste of space to breathe out his sizable arse for an hour each week in the Championship sums the club up really. And the captain's armband too of course, which I'm assuming is some sort of cod psychology from the fraud in the dugout.

Trying to get my head around the referee on today saying he used to pretend he was a Dumbarton supporter but he's a Celtic fan and never hidden it.

They were never really a B grade team, more of a weirdly underperforming one. Those squads that failed to qualify for the World Cup in '90 and '94 had some incredible players.

A bitter pill to swallow is having your head separated from the rest of your body for fancying other blokes, Jermaine. Though never a pen, tbf.

Clearly not a vintage German team but always prefer to avoid the hosts. Would take Spain from that, they're not that great and potentially flaky as f**k as we've already shown. No doubt we'll get England or France though. Albania the obvious choice for pot 2 though I'd worry we'd find a way of fucking that up in typically Scottish style . Glad we can't face Croatia or the Czechs again. Pot 4 anyone but Italy please.

Reluctant to write off Grimshaw just yet as he's not played in his favoured position. Certainly not the most graceful though, looks like he should be gouging someone's eyes in an octagon. Little wonder he was popular in Greenock. Agree we definitely need a right back in the door in January. If there's no money available, which seems likely, put Freeman out somewhere and bring in a boringly competent young guy on loan from down south.

Away. If it was next week I'd be concerned but we should have been playing the bairns and Dave Bowman in this tournament from the start.

Paul Dixon warming up.

Hahaha

Filled the goal at least.

Is that Pickford?

He's Shenked that.

Lucky Emily Bronte, Mark Twain, Derek Walcott, Jack Kerouac and hunners of others are all deed then. Irvine Welsh's balls are still swinging though, fire in.

Steel Pulse - Sound System

He wasn't given a squad number this season.

This part is Aberdeen's fault, tbf.

First time this season Gallagher and Holt have looked really troubled, got to give Dunfermline's pressing some credit for that. Neither Sibbald or Tilson offer the back four much protection and that's two weeks in row we've looked exposed on the counter with Docherty missing, hoping he's back soon. Job done though, would give Mochrie a shout next week at Falkirk before Tilson.

He was sent off twice at East End eh? Was at both, I think we were pumped 3-0 in one game, and gave up a 3-0 half-time lead in the other.

Long time ago now but we were good to watch under Levein. It was quick, direct and aggressive but far from the boring long ball stuff he seems to be inextricably linked with these days. He definitely likes his defenders to defend first and foremost, but he signed guys like Gomis, Sandaza and Swanson who could play a bit. Possibly was a little too cautious at times and the team kicked on under Houston, but considering where we were at when he came in, not a dissimilar position to St Johnstone just now, he did a remarkable job. MacDairmid probably a good fit, expect him to do well.

It was the length of contract apparently, wanted a longer deal than the end of the season one offered.

I think it's always been his style. Pretty sure Peter Houston did much of the training when he was manager at United.

Call me a traditionalist but I like goalies to jump left or right at penalties.
