I think both DeLucas and Obileye are much better suited to a back three than a two/four. I’d expect us to stick with that formation to make us more solid as we were a little generous second half of last season!

Lucas is a cracking player - I’ve seen him loads over the years as my boy played up front with him both for Bankton Primary and James Young HS. Definitely has the potential to make it at a high level.

Bigger question is how the ref and Lino missed the foul on Nouble. It was clear as day. I’ll look out for the handball one you mentioned on Sportscene - I can’t remember the incident. The whole VAR thing is a shambles though. We must have wasted more than 10 mins today watching the ref with a finger to his earpiece!

Patronising bullshit. Nouble has more talent in his pinky finger than most of that Hibs team. We have the smallest midfield in the league in Pittman, Holt and Omeonga. The best team won as we have several times against your lot recently both on our pitch and yours….btw we took more points away than home last season and this season so far it’s 3 points away on grass and 3 points at home on plastic and we lost our other game…..at home on the plastic.

Clark was on the park for the warm up yesterday. Seemed to be in trainers rather than boots.

Not enough being made of the tee shirt, shorts and beanie hat combo in July by the way!

As I said above, I was sure that our No7 was Omeonga

I think three of the trialists were Bitsandou, Cancar and Bahamboula. I was sure the number 7, the 4th trialist, was Omeonga but I must have been wrong. He was on the other side of the park from me but that running style was too similar to wee Stephane for it to have been someone else, no?! Max has had an absolute mare today. Three suicidal goals - thanks feck it was a friendly! onwards!

yeah, Sir Nicky of Bishopbriggs got a yellow for celebrating a late winner with the supporters. Crap rule that imo.

Now you’re clearly just taking the piss! Are you seriously complaining that our player, who had to go off the field after your player punched him in the face, didn’t have to stay off to give your team an advantage for a little while longer? That’s the bit about Madden’s performance you are wondering about. Get in the sea!

The helping hand was for not giving Livi a pen when Hart clattered Obileye. Even Packie Bonner thought it was a pen ffs!

Any chance this thread could be used to talk about the match today? Don’t the OF have a separate board for this kind of shit? Unfortunately Celtic seem to have hit some right good form so hard to think we will take anything from the game today. It is a bit of a free hit and our form and confidence are high so I wouldn’t completely rule it out….but I’ll go for 3-1 home win.

He probably should have been to be fair!

Soft or not...if the referee gives the penalty the defender needs to walk or get a yellow at least I’m pretty sure the new rules are that there is no double jeopardy for incidents like this - if the ref gives the pen there can be no red card unless the foul was violent conduct.

Bartley has had a new lease of life at Livi. I think playing week in week out at this stage of his career is key for him and he looks to be loving his role as the senior player in the group. Great signing for us!
