  1. Consistency of selection is a big factor for me. Pick a team for a few games and stick with it rather than chopping and changing it all the time. It is almost like Thelin has run out of ideas and is hoping he might stumble upon something that works, which is a classic manager under pressure tactic. The whole subs for the sake of subs is doing my head in. Why do you need to be subbing players in their mid 20s after an hour, just one month into the season? In the Falkirk game he had made 4 subs before the hour and 5 subs by minute 72 against Livi. Just pick the right team for a start and have a bit of faith in the game plan.

  2. You'll need to be of a certain vintage to remember the good old days in the 80's & 90's before the explosion of the internet and instant news to appreciate this. If you are you'll recollect the excitement of constantly refreshing teletext to get updated football scores and also the latest football news. I was sent this by a mate down south as he thought I'd be interested. Someone has re-created the teletext features and pages as an app for your mobile and although in its infancy it is expected to grow as more and more features are added. I suspect it'll only be of interest to the older ones of us that remember it from its halcyon days. Many a game, particularly midweek ones when there was no radio coverage and this was the only means to get instant (well fairly instant updates) on how your team were getting on. Page 302 was the BBC football index page. ITV brought out a service also, memory seems to tell me their home page might have been 140 I've downloaded and will be using it in the future Anyone else got memories of teletext usage for the football

  4. He was all over the pitch in the first half against Livi, and he dominated their midfielders, but he took an extra touch too often because he doesn't have the passing ability as you mention. He was still good though, and he didn't struggle with the pace and work rate required. Unlike Palaversa when he came on. What I'm struggling to understand is why Aouchiche is getting off the hook after Saturday. He was terrible. His decision making was rank, and he didn't offer anything in attack or defence. It was like having a slightly lazier Keskinen (who does help defensively). For me, the midfield two were absolutely fine, and a large part of the reason we kept possession and didn't have any problems at the back (until they went off). The problem is that Thelin did not listen to me, and play both Nisbet and Lazetic from the start. Nisbet likes to drop deep, so when he does, Lazetic stays put - and vice versa. Motherwell will try and pass it through us, so I think if we can keep it solid, we can break to the front two and get something. Basically, keep Nilsen and Shinnie for this game.
