Before the naysayers get their 2p worth in, check the finance that Almaty have at their disposal before dismissing Aberdeen.

Said on the many Motherwell European nights. We simply can't deal with the dark side of football and it's true throughout the national game. It isn't a great thing to say, but unfortunately it's where football is at. Sometimes we are (scottish football) too genuine for our own good.

We need to be cuter with officials and better at cheating. Simple as that

Another one in the next 5 or so minutes to take it to ET. Here's hoping.

That'll be the end of that then.

Lyon won't be long in going by the looks of it.

33/7. Just abysmal from Australia.

Given it was a commited 50-50 by both players, it's unfortunate Warren is injured. He did however try to injure McDonald early on and was very fortunate not to pick up a red card for that particular assault.

Apparently MacGregor has opened the chequebook to get him. £2.5k to £3.5k a week basic depending on what report you read.

Scottish Cup winners and 6th will suffice...

I certainly don't expect Motherwell to be as high up the table, but I do think we will make the top 6. I think Accies will occupy one of the bottom 2 places along with Killie. Celtic to be Champions with Aberdeen comfortably second. Like others, I fancy Hearts to have a good season on their return to the top flight.

St Johnstone are usually one of the few teams that perform admirably in Europe. Poor result.

It's time 'Murica brought some freedom, to say Venezuela, to make everyone forget about guns and gun crime...

Don't hold your breath for that one Parklife. If anything that seems to be one of his main failings as our coach.

Liked him as a keeper at Fir Park apart from the League Cup final disaster, but his record and judgement as coach has left a lot to be desired. I can't say I'm gutted to see him leave.

Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini were great players. Danny Wilson is a half decent player who has yet to fulfill any potential he had shown at 17 years old who has just chosen to stay in the 2nd tier of Scottish football for another season rather than test himself at a higher level.

Hutton certainly isn't in the running for this accolade.

He certainly won't be readily handing over his money out of the goodness of his heart. Brooks Mileson is the name you're looking for,

King will be providing loans to Rangers, it just depends on when and how much he wants back. Anyway, it looks likely that McDonald is set to sign with Motherwell again for the forthcoming season at the very least. An excellent start to this summers recruitment of players, hopefully there will be more quality players on the way.

Security and passport control at Glasgow International, whilst better than Edinburgh, is still pretty gash.

Decent return this weekend from the bookies. Speith @ 17/2 Johnson @ 20/1 E/W Oosthuizen @ 90/1 E/W Scott @ 40/1 E/W Schwartzel @ 140/1 E/W(Still not checked if this has paid out yet right enough.) I was praying for Speith and Johnson to up the last few holes to gift it to Oosthuizen.

Alan Hutton is probably the single biggest culprit for the goals that we concede. He offers little going forward other than headless chicken running and an almost 0% rate of cross completion. I wish Strachan would bin him sooner rather than later. As for Forsyth, not his best game, but not the worst performance I've seen in a Scotland jersey. There was still the effort and desire there even if things weren't happening for him in the first half.

McCarthy and Coleman absolutely. Hendrick, Brady and Hoolahan to a much lesser extent.

My mate flew out on Sunday to cover the tournament. More than a month in Santiago, added in to the month or so spent in Rio last summer the jammy . Should the Copa America go ahead next year in the States, I will definitely be joining him for it.

Never been able to wear World Cup's or Copa's as they are too narrow. So I've never had the pleasure of owning a pair yet I've always wanted them, especially Copa Mundial.
