Have you tried that mad Polish Voddy with the Bison Grass... ooft That stuff will have you punching trees.

I'd tend to agree. I wouldn't say I particularly like getting ****ed by 4 or 5. I definitely don't like being ****ed by 4 or 5 whilst acting like little bitches.

 

I must admit however, with Damour & Whelan here now, I can't see that as an issue. When Naismith is back...really can't see it.

Saying that cluj stuck four past them ??

My staff used to bring me Lithuanian vodka back when they’d been home for holidays. Wasted on me but those that drink it say its well

worth it. 

[jamtartan74]

Probably the inevitable skelping we get through there but if we give it a go and don’t just sit back hoping for a draw then at least we can say we tried. It is absolutely pointless going through to Glasgow and hoping not to lose, give it a good go in attack and if we lose by doing that then so be it. On that note, 3-2 to the famous 🇱🇻❤️🇱🇻

Zubrówka with apple juice. Delicious stuff

[Rocky jamboa]

Hope we dont go through there with the view that a 3-0 boabying will be fine. Hope we get stuck in. They are very average, apart from edouard. Weve got a chance today, if we play with confidence

Got a good feeling we're no getting beat today, as long as we have a go, be happy with a draw, but a win....and I'll be delighted🤞

0-0 or hopefully sneak a wee 0-1

£1 free bet placed on Michael Smith first goal at 100/1.

 

Erm...nailed on phree munney.

[Uilleam]

we have to play with some confidence today build on from the Motherwell result.

[Leveins Battalion]

I'm going to annoy a few on here but we have absoloutly no chance of a result today.

Cludgie are an experienced CL team, with plenty of $$$ in their bank, comparative to many European teams, never mind us.

 

Cluj would boaby us. I only hope we make a fist of it today.

Boaby and fist...

 

 

i hope we have a bit penetration up front ourselves.  

[A_A wehatethehibs]

I’ll be an optimist and say we’ll lose by only a 1 goal margin so we’ll stay off the bottom of the table. We are staying up! 

[Bootzilla]

So few victories there, for any teams in our league, for decades - IF we get a result today it will be historical. 

[Dagger Is Back]

We’ll win today. Whelan is going to be a massive player for us. Him and Damour are going to take care of their MF, Washington’s clever runs are going to trouble their dodgy back 4

 

2-1 Hearts

Get an early goal and we could get away with all 3 points. However I think it will be a 1-1 draw. If the unwashed score first, then I fear a royal pumping.

Three things:

-There's always a result, but not necessarily a good one.

-Leveins Battalion needs an apostrophe, in the correct place.

-You can't spell absolutely.

 

That'll annoy a few too. (Note spelling of "too".)

Last 3 results vs Lennons Celtic

 

0-1 last minute goal and played most of the game with 10 men.

 

2-1 matched them the whole game and succumbed to late goal.

 

2-1 Eduard dive the only difference 

 

shouldn't have any fear tomorrow 

and we were by far the better team in the final.. one mistake, one blatant dive

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Probably going to end up disappointed but I have a whiff of something different today. 

Not feeling the usual dread 

[Nookie Bear]

Think a narrow defeat or even a draw today. 

 

Need to be brave when when we get possession and not just lump it aimlessly up the park. 

 

Who is left back for them at the moment? Stick Mulraney on him. 

[kingantti1874]

What’s the lineup then?
 

id say we need to start solid and get jake up against that abomination of a left back.  Get Uche off the bench at 60 mins..

 

joel

 

smith 

halkett

berra

hickey

 

jake 

whelan

damour

irvine

white

 

washington. 

saying that I can see Uche starting..

I hope not - we played football against Motherwell. Not sure what’s up with the big man but he’s been horrendous so far this season.

The biggest sticking point is that Levein normally shites it at Darkheid and Hunbrox respectively.

Only thing I will say pre game is that Joel, Glen and Loic should be buzzing for this match.

[Sagan]

I'm just hoping to see something different today and for us to make a game of it. 

 

It's a lot easier to motivate a team for a cup final. Let's see how we go about our business today.

Clare for White and thats the team I reckon.

 

Uche could be very effective to run a tired defence ragged for the last half hour, but my fear is that Levein reverts to “get the ball away from goal” mode and starts with Uche as target man.  Whelan and Clare off after 60-65 mins, Uche and Bozanic on.  Maybe White for Mulraney in the last 10 to shore things up.

 

Washington is the key today.  Need a big game from him.  Halkett needs to play the game of his life as well to keep Berra in check.

Nothing personal, but after the game at Motherwell and the huge difference in how we played the last person I'd be looking to come in as an alternative (whether from the start or for 30 mins today) would be Uche. Nothing against the guy personally, but when the ball reaches him he just slows everything down and sticks his erse out looking for a free kick and when he doesn't get it (95% of the time being because it isn't a free kick) he just stands still. Washington up top, and even McLean looked better playing the way we did that night

Yep, more of the same please.  The Livi back three were superb last season, very well organised and carried their jobs out well.  My worry for Halkett so far is that he’s having to do 75% of the defending because Berra lacks mobility these days.  I really hope we go with Souttar and Halkett as a two going forward.
