You think we should ask him accomodation advice or which bars are cheapest?

Well, I defended us big time after Thursday, but bar the first few mins of each half we've been awful today. Problem I see is drive in center mid. Rama a big miss and we have few workhorses in there willing to drive us forward, and minimal quality center mid depth.

This one? "That's not how we want to play. That was the frustrating part. We are building a new team. We've got all these players that have just come in the door. They've hardly introduced themselves to each other. "We will be fine. We've got real speed, we've got a good group, we've got some really good players and once we get going, we'll be fine. I'm really relaxed about that." I'd say a lot of what he says there makes sense. That doesn't make him immune from criticism, but we've had good performances that deserved more (Celtic, arguably Hacken) and we've had poor performances where we've dropped points in them all, when maybe last season a good defensive performance or an on-form striker bailed us out. Next four games after the international break will tell us a lot. Hearts away Frankfurt away Ross County home Ross County away (cup) Frankfurt is a free hit (unless it's an absolute pumping), but I'd be looking for a semi-final spot and a home win in the league. I'd also like to think, especially since Hearts have lost to Dundee and Motherwell, that we can improve on the two abject performances at Tynecastle last season.

At least you didn't have to sit through it

We've never played well under Robson but we had the rub of the green last season with duk hitting a purple patch and roos stopping everything. That was never going to last and our inability to control a game is brutal. Midfield doesn't work. Shinnie is limited as fuck on the ball. Just have him breaking it up and passing it on. There is clearly no game plan other than trying to defend and then chase it up the pitch. Just not good enough

Robson’s good will is fast running out.

Clueless going forward. Duk had been woeful. Bojan always seems to need one touch too many to get a shot away. Because we seem to take forever to get up the pitch there isn't time for that touch or space for dribbling. We really need to start getting in behind and putting crosses in front of our strikers. Surely that's the whole point of playing with wingbacks?

Hibs completely bossing this. Ruby is one lucky boy to not have been shown a straight red for 5he elbow on Youan

Scott Brown sacked by Fleetwood. Just in time to get the Hibs job.

No but think he can still go on a development loan to lower league side in Scotland as under 21.

No he isn't. Taylor under McInnes (especially second spell) was better than anything we've seen from Rubezic to date. He is very similar to Taylor in his first few games for us so far. Positionally suspect, meaning he dives in when he shouldn't and terrible with the ball. We turned Taylor into a very serviceable SPFL defender. We will more than likely do the same with a Rubezic once he's in a settled position. He has enough attributes to make him a decent player. I didn't get a good view of the penalty, but he was too far off the man initially and allowed him to run at him. It looked to me like he dived in to prevent the player getting a shot and I'm surprised he wasn't sent off. In his defence, it was late in a game that we were chasing and everyone was out of position, so I wouldn't read much into the incident - I don't think it'll be indicative of him as a player either way.

Looks familiar....

Aye, fun fact, but I used to live in Germany (near Monchengladbach) and been back so many times for football; Dortmund, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Cologne. It's just an amazing county, brilliant for football, and it breaks my heart that we're going to make the people of Frankfurt unhappy by pumping them.
