Didn't the league get suspended during the wars? Not sure of the ins and outs of it but im sure someone on here does and could share what happened. Would it be possible to follow the same protocol as then? Or at least use it as a guide?

I saw this on Twitter regarding speculation in Germany regarding how they deal with a shut down:
In a Scottish context, I'm massively in favour of option 4
I suppose the ideal situation would be option 2 with the proviso that if we get to a certain date and coronavirus is still as big an issue (or worse) then we revert to either option 1 or 3. This would all depend on the Euros right enough. Option 4 would cause the banter years thread to go into meltdown so could be hilarious.
For me, choosing between option 1 and 3 is a case of choosing which would be funnier...Hearts getting relegated or Dundee United not getting promoted...it's a toughy

New deal for McMillan, he's earned it lately. Wasn't keen on him but in this new year he's definitely got a lot better
Good bit of business...he's never disappointed when hes had a chance and his ability to play anywhere across the back is such a bonus. Hopefully having guys like Efe around to learn from will help Jack improve even more.

They did the same with Robinson when he was up for battering his Mrs...going as far to not name him but call him "the Motherwell manager"As if they've blurred his face [emoji23]

Think that was down to Dykes being fucked and not giving us an out ball for the last 10 mins of the game, really should've had Souda on earlier, to at least give us someone with the energy to chase after tha ball, and maybe keep it up the pitch for a bit. Imo that's what Dolly does best for us, runs like a goodun after the ball and has the strength to body defenders, was surprised he wasn't on the bench, reckon we'd have seen out the game if he'd been an option to replace a knackered Dykes.
I'd heard Dolly hurriedly left the stadium in a taxi earlier in the evening. Hope everything is ok with the big man

That fucking fire alarm [emoji38]
Couldn't hear any alarm at the game and I sit directly below the main cameraI’m going to drive down to Livingston and turn that fucking alarm off myself
Don't think he would...always spoke of the slagging his boy gets when Livi play Killie...imagine being the Killie manager and having poor resultsAmazed it hasn't happened already tbf. He'd have gone to Killie if they'd asked.0 -
Much less of a bawsack than brown and a much more likeable characterIs he better/ worse than Broony ?0 -

1 nil and no injuries on the worst plastic park in the top flight.
How many of your players have been injured on our park?

Hopefully the midweek European game, along with the Cup game yesterday, will have taken a lot out of the Celtic players. Forrest and Ajer are injury doubts. No doubt our pitch will be in their heads too.
If we can keep it to 0-0 at HT then I think we could have a decent chance of nicking it 2nd half, with our players being a lot fresher after the 10 days between games. Dolly would be a great sub to bring on if we're under pressure and trying to hold onto a goal lead too, fantastic out ball with his pace and physicality. Could even get us a goal on the counter, he loves turning it on in big games, in front of large away crowds (Sevco & Hearts last season).
The games on the TV too...he does love a goal in front of the cameras

Exactly why I can't see past an ('pasta'?) away win.
McCrorie
McMillan - Guthrie - Ambrose/Brown - ATS
Bartley - Sibbald
Lawless - Pittman - Robinson
Dykes
It'd be a tough decision to drop Brown with the partnership hes forged with Guthrie...can see us sticking with the back 3 though giving us a man to match up against Griffiths and Edouard plus a free defender to mop up the midfield runners. Perhaps going for something like:
McCrorie
Efe - Brown - Guthrie
McMillan - Bartley - Sibbald - ATS
Lawless - Pittman
Dykes
Pittman, ATS and McMillan dropping back one place when defending making it more of a 5-3-1-1

Might be a hottake but I think Bartley is a breath of fresh air in punditry, was hilarious on AVFTT. Brings a different perspective on punditry, and isn't an ex-Celtic or Rangers player.
I enjoy seeing Marv on tv doing punditry...funny seeing him being so mild mannered and well spoken to then watch him batter through players and pull all the wee "tricks" to wind up opponents and being a general nuisance for other teams when on the pitch.

Watching the game with no sound....WTF happened at the end of the first half? Hearts should have had a penalty but then scored from the resulting corner which wasn't a goal for some reason and McGregor is losing the rag about it?

Wouldn't grudge Lamie the move...seems a hard working, honest professional as well as a pretty decent guy. As others have said, he may struggle to get into the team with the defensive cover we've got now. Can see Lithgow having the same troubles getting back into the team now as well.

Also he enjoys a marauding run down the wing every so often, beating players for funYep, he's up there with Dykes as a PoTY contender. Protects our defence well and has been immense at marshalling our midfield, and got made Captain with Lithgow being out for a while.0 -
Wee Stevie Lawless managed fineWe took it to penalties for a laugh. It was the ultimate in showboating. Dangled the prospect of miraculous progress in front of Motherwell and then just let Hladky The Arabslayer do his thing. Taking penalties against him is so intimidating, he can make players actually miss the target. It's remarkable.

Well that accolade wasn't exactly gonna go to the rangers was it?You may have Efe Ambrose but we're greenest club in Scotland. http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/105561 -
It's gonna be Efe isn't itHe's the 4th official, Newlands is the ref. No doubt Aitken will tell Newlands to send one of our players off though.0 -
I noticed against St Mirren Dykes played on the wing for a spell allowing dolly to go central.I see Ambrose is actually classed as a defensive midfielder who can also play as a CB or FB.
That seems to fit with the current ethos of the club in having players that are adaptable to multiple positions - about the only players that haven't been asked to play in different positions have been Dykes and the goalkeepers.0 -

In his hoose watching a dodgy rangers TV stream [emoji23]What was your view of it. We're you in line with it. We're you at other end of pitch.0 -
Livingston is closer to Shotts but barely....I'm in Carstairs and Livi and Motherwell are equal distance (give or take a mile or 2)Actually the 2011 census had the population of Livingston as 56,269. The figure quoted will presumably include all settlements where Livingston FC is the nearest club. Therefore I expect it to include the Calders; Bathgate; Broxburn etc. but not Linlithgow (Falkirk nearest); Newbridge (Hearts nearest) or Shotts (Motherwell nearest?).
South-wise is a bit of a mystery though; in some ways we're almost clear to the boarders....0 -
He does a Keith lemon tribute act round the club circuitWhat's with the bandaged hand. Anybody know.1

Notts County as my Uncle moved down that way when I was a boy and began following them so he'd keep telling me about them when we saw each other. I have a tendancy to look out for The Rangers* scores as the guy I work with and a few mates are supporters...always fun to have the ammo when they get beat. I also look for Airdrie results as another of my mates is a fan and we used to go to a few games
