leginten Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Latvian women are utterly gorgeous, btw. And the people dress very smartly, at least they did the time I was there. I liked Riga a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riga have a similar squad value than us, more than most of our premier League. Considering we often struggle away from home at places like Livi, the chances of us getting result in Riga when firing on all cylinders is slim, getting a result at the moment is even slimmer. Apart from the OF, Scottish clubs shouldn't be looking down their nose at anyone. I thought that too until I realised I was looking at the wrong Riga. Riga FC have a similar squad value to us, but we're playing FK RFS whose squad is worth about 60% of ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregzy2k7 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Hope halkett and Kio are fit and both able to play, I personally would go for it and play a 4-3-1-2 we have literally nothing to lose now, so might as well just attack them, you never know we might actually win, i would just like us to pressure there defence and get a few shots on target to see how they cope, if we lose we lose but I think we should just go for it. My team would be Gordon Smith Halkett Kingsley Cochrane Kio Grant Devlin McKay Shankland Humphrys Going for a 2-1 Win for the Jambos!!

Dont **** about with countries that have been occupied by Russia. Whilst I’d happily have less union flags at the front of Section N I don’t really want 15 year old hearts fans being shot.

Gorgie_Rules Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 They are sitting 3rd in the Latvian league, 10 points off the top after 28 games. Their record across all competitions back to start of August is P11 W4 D6 L1 They don’t lose often but last defeat was 3-2 against bottom of the league a month ago. It is the sort of game we should be winning, and undoubtedly once we are (hopefully) a European side on a regular basis it should be a comfortable win, but I think a draw is more likely. Hopefully the rest at the weekend has allowed extra preparation for this one, with those nursing injuries now up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
