Did anyone watch it?

I was tempted to call for VAR on the Dog and Stick Championships but, on second thoughts, I don't think there was contact.

My mate played some Beatles stuff on Alexa last night, and we all sung along as if the Baytles were Black Country, not Scouse. Have a go - it's fun, and give us some more suggestions. It dow 'ave t'be Beatles.

Yow Cor Do That (You Can't Do That)
Till Theer Was Yow (Till There Was You)
'Er's A Wench (She's A Woman)
It wo' Be Lung (It Won't Be Long)
Yam Gonna Lose That Wench (You're Gonna Lose That Girl)
I Wanna 'old Your Donny (I Want to Hold Your Hand)
Worro Tara-a-bit (Hello Goodbye)
'Er Loves Yow (She Loves You)
Wench (Girl)
Dow Let Me Dow-n (Don't Let Me Down)
Cor Buy Me Love (Can't Buy Me Love)
'Alfords Lane (Penny Lane)

We also sung some others:-

Yow Better Goo Now by The Moody Blues
Grizzlin' by Roy Orbison
Ar Got Yow Bab by Sonny and Cher
Am Ya Lonesome Tonight by Elvis
'Er by Charles Aznavour/Elvis Costello

According to the clubs official site "Danny Wilson has been brought in to head the recruitment for the academy after working on recruitment for Manchester United in recent years."
Matt, please don't state the obvious, I just thought it was a bit ironic.

Who's up for it this season?

We won't be marching into Europe but we sure as hell should get more goals and points this season.

Anyone got a burning ambition to take over the thread admin roll?

Do we celebrate what we've achieved and move on?

Are we waiting for the whole site to move servers before we do anything or is that our backstop?

This is a result/thrashing that puts Celtic in "easy street" for the return leg and Leigh Griffiths gets back to scoring goals by hitting a "cracking strike" from a direct FK to register his 105th goal for The Hoops. Job done!

We seem to be pinning our goal scoring hopes on Scott Boden, who is certainly capable of notching twenty in a season, BUT, in my opinion, ONLY in certain circumstances.

Throughout his career Scott has proved capable in the supersub' role of grabbing a goal in the dying minutes of a game, when having played only twenty minutes or so himself.

He also proved his capacity to score regularly for Gateshead last season when starting games.

Some players like Luis Suarez can score at any role at any point in a game .... even when injured or half-fit. I don't think Scott Boden is anything like that.

I think Scott was finding Gateshead's style last season similar to how many teams only play at the end of a game when desperate for a goal. Until Christmas Gateshead had Rigg, Boden and was it Armstrong (on-loan from Middlesbrough) pulling teams around up front and all capable of scoring. Boden liked it and scored. Now that is very similar to normal teams in the final ten minutes - you watch them and think why didn't they do this earlier, suddenly the opposition defence is struggling to keep its shape. In those circumstances Boden is very good at losing his marker, getting free, getting on the end of that loose ball and grabbing a goal.

My simple opinion is that if we want to score goals we have to re-create those conditions, provide threats on goal from several players and Boden will register plenty. Otherwise he's a player who will always score a few, especially towards the end of a game, but he probably won't do that much to help you win a league.

Similarly whichever club we ditch Lee Shaw to might look at how the team played and his role in it for whom he scored 65 goals in two seasons. One thing's for certain marooning him out on the wing is unlikely to be the answer. Goalposts very rarely seem to be located on either wing of a football pitch.

Interestingly Sam Scrivens who we've had on trial scored 27 for Penistone from out on the wing. That fact alone makes me think a gamble on a contract for him might not be the daftest move for someone at our level.

Mass suicide on Bob's Board, lining up to fall like small Scandinavian rodents from Creswell Crags.

If we'd played the Blunts in a cup game ..... we could have run about like maniacs, tackled everything that moved and several things that didn't, intimidated them with our ludicrous will-to-win, overdosed on Boris's can-do approach ....... and lost 1-3 to a controversial last-minute penalty that resulted in a double sending-off and a journey into the lower reaches of the vernacular by our manager.

But what do you do in a friendly? Brutalise their newly-purchased million-pound striker, end Billy Sharp's career?

This was another good work out for Hibs with a victory never in doubt and Scotty Allan definitely the "top man" on the night with a very accomplished performance. All good prep on the road to attaining full match fitness and sharpness.

…...….in a law court ruling where RFC officials tried to minimise the compensation "hit" to a million quid - overruled by a law court judge and they are set to add even more debt to their current debt which has been conveniently omitted from any debate/criticism down the months but it is massive and should be challenged by the appropriate footie authority!!!!
