My report on the U18's win at Aberdeen

Looks impressive.
Hopeful his shopping list is a 
Right back, 3 centre halves, a left back, 2 midfielders and 3 attackers.
 

Frightening to think just how financially fucked we were in his time here
Mcleish won a treble, had it dismantled for financial reasons, told to shop on Gumtree for fucking players, and still managed to give us a double on helicopter sunday, against a tarrier team outspending him by God knows how much
And how the fuck he got that squad to the CL last 16, and was a boyd sitter away from the quarters, is beyond me, 
The money he must have generated for the club via euro runs, title wins and transfer profit. Imagine we didn't get that back then

Had a great night last night at an amateur boxing event at the Swindon Meca. My boy (17) had his debut bout, was third fight on the undercard and had a convincing win. Was a fucking awesome night.

Watching Sportscene just now and Michael Stewart is the co-commentator. You would have less bias if it was celtic tv, it’s that bad. Sums up BBC Scotland that continually give the likes of English, Stewart and Angela Haggerty the platform to spread their bile. 

Gets slated even when he has a decent game. Was pressing 3 or 4 of them on his own in that 1st half and in the 2nd he was good too
We all know he’s not the level we need (and I don’t think he was signed as 1st choice I think Danilo was) but the hatred people have for this guy is an absolute riddy 

All you can ask for is 100% from players with limited ability
Not his fault beale bought him

Felt we should have scored even more that day with still 30 mins to play…

If we beat them next week the atmosphere will be as good as any old firm has been at Ibrox and if god forbid it goes the wrong way I guarantee I’ll not be thinking its shite without them being there.
Each to their own I suppose.
 
 

Came across some old photos when i used to take the kids up to the training.
 

I didn’t mind him when he was doing the Rangers youth stuff but when he was being a contrary prick for the sake of it, it was mind numbing.

Love that
Also love the fact that idiot has thrown in what the suspected injury is as if the player going through on goal is going to be able to diagnose the injury in the 5 seconds between it happening and him scoring

Depends on timing, first watch it looks like he’s just made a cunt of it, it’s only after it you can see he’s in a bit of discomfort.
Not like the Dude to be completely OTT 😂 

Whos excused it, we bought poorly, we didnt get rid of wasters like your wee lover kent and morelos and we suffered 
But don't act like my point isnt viable we played 65 games from 31st july to 22nd may in the seville season 
Giving them 3 weeks off then battering them with a massive pre season would have been just as damaging, as i said (and conveniently ignored) when gerrard ran them into the ground in dubai during the winter break we came back and were a fucking shambles

Utterly pathetic from Hearts. 
Glorious that it upset them so much. 

Scotland hates a successful Rangers. I love the tears 

I know there's a thread for the women's team but feels this deserves a thread of his own. Tragic bastards  
 
 
 
Club Statement: Sky Sports Cup Final Heart of Midlothian Football Club is aware of images circulating of the Tynecastle Park home dressing room at today’s Sky Sports Cup Final. Although the club hands over the running of the stadium on the day to the competition organisers - the SWPL - we were involved with pre-match planning. We would therefore like to assure our supporters that we did not approve any request for dressing room branding in either dressing room for either club involved. It is extremely disappointing to learn that our wishes were disregarded. How this came to be is a matter for the SWPL and Rangers to sort, but needless to say no explanation will be satisfactory in our eyes or the eyes of our fans. Nevertheless, we will demand answers to ensure that our club crest is never defaced again. It is also regrettable that this action has taken away the focus from what was a successful cup final and another opportunity to grow women’s football in Scotland.

Genuinely mental 😂

Was a shit penalty but he shouldn’t have been in that position in the first place and he was man enough to step up 
He should’ve been on the park a lot earlier that night rather than taking a pen after barely having a kick. 

Still don't understand why Ramsey is a prick?

This rule change might actually suit him. He'd still shoot it straight into the keeper's arms mind but still...

Nice to see Lee Wallace there.

Here he does an interview with sky and I never even realised it was this close and he’d been there nearly a decade already
think we’ve all had our ffs Tav moments but what a fucking incredible servant he has been over the period of his time here.
i hope he does retire at the club and hopefully his testimonial will be against one of Europe’s elite clubs for him as he deserves it.
Incredible that he’s remained here this whole time, will hate it when he no longer plays for us 

Aye that all sounds pretty fair, although I can't help but always have Ali as the GOAT. Maybe more nostalgia than logic at work there though, even though Lennox Lewis at his prime was an absolute stand out and understandable all time great.
