  1. Remember Milne and Donald cleared their debt a couple of years back. Thought it was about 15 million at the time.
  2. So Brenda is the 4th manager in 3 years at Leicester. Job security maybe not the best there.🤣
  3. All I'll say is Inverness 3 - Scumtic 2. And guess who their manager was.
  4. Cannot believe they would take TLB back. The guy is an absolute liability and obviously lost the plot at Hivs.
  5. Have to agree about Baresi but would add Maldini and Beckenbauer as on the same level.
  6. Good for the wee man putting them to the sword just like in 1999 when I can still see him turning the defender, rounding that donkey Kerr and slotting it into the net for his second and our 3rd goal. Than as now his aim was spot on.
  7. Different styles of players but for me just on invention and craft it was Ronaldhino. Guy could do things others couldn't even think of. Didn't have the strength of Ronaldo or the close control at speed of Messi but see some of his stuff on youtube playing it off the bar, back passes etc . My old time favourite was Jairzinho. At 70 World Cup he scored in every game, 7 goals in all and his pace on the ball to beat players plus a stunning shot was amazing.
  8. Canot believe wimps worried about a Mitre ball. They were for pansies as a real ball was the old leather tubes. Got heavier as the game went on as it absorbed water and if you tried to header it late on you'd get concussion plus all your spots and blackheads would pop. Getting hit with the laces was like getting slashed just to cap it off. Ahhh those were the days.
  9. Report them to BBC down south with proof of obvious bias like the above photos. I seem to remember they got slapped down before a few years back.
  10. It reminds me of the Beckham one in the world cup, half-hearted flick of the leg/boot which wouldn't have caused any damage if it connected but as others have said gave the ref an opportunity to make a decision. The two of them had been at each other all game which probably didn't help. Will be interesting to see if SG does appeal.
  11. Watching that video of Kamara and the way he tackles reminds me of Stuart McCall. If the rest of his game is as good he'll be an asset.
  12. Good thing was they were totally different the way they played. Jinky was as his name suggested able to beat a man by trickery and small, sharp movements. Willie on the other hand was probably the quickest I have ever seen at facing a left back and waiting till he moved and was past him while the defender was unbalanced. He was incredibly fast over that first 5 or 10 yards and once he was past he was gone. Fantastic striker of a ball on the move or at a standstill. Also had the ability to beat a man with skill as well as pace. Difficult to sum him up without sounding over the top but he was that good. When Slim Jim and Eusebio rate you as a great player you know you have it made.
  13. My favourite player when I was a young boy ( and still is) Met him a couple of times back then and he could not have been nicer, gave me his shirt but then he went back in to the dressing room to get as many of the guys to sign it as well. Also he gave me a signed ball etc next time I met him and a wee kickabout for a couple of minutes. This guy was my hero as you could possibly guess by the name and my avatar. Legend or hero are terms overused these days but this guy has earned it due to his skill, manners and charity work.
  14. Need to leave Alf to do what he does best creating mayhem with the centre backs. I would then play Defoe just off him to pick up the scraps when attacking and in the box for free kicks, corners etc. As said already one wide man in Kent or Candeias dependent on the full backs and wingers we are up against. If their left back and winger are good we need Candeias to help Tav. If not then Kent can come in to play either or both sides. What a lovely problem to have for a change.
  15. His fat pal is the spit of Terror from the Baldies gang, in the film The Wanderers. A seriously ugly bastard. Classy suit and white bowtie btw.
  16. Fantastic video mate. Just love the bit at the end with big Goldson standing there, grinning all over his face and lapping up every second of the acclaim from the crowd. If he didn't know what it was all about playing for the most successful team in football, he certainly does now.
  17. Was there with my old man that day. Never saw him so upset about anything else in his life similar to myself that tragic day. Still impossible to comprehend or understand why something so terrible could have happened. Still have a quiet moment every year in respect of the departed.
  18. That was a marker put down by Arfield not just for Lego and the scum to see, but also to his team mates. He showed how to front up and by that encouraged all the others to do the same. Bit like Kevin Thomson against Keane. Mind you I think most of our magnificent eleven were up for it anyway.
  19. This all the way. You wonder how these wets would have reacted to a team like the 9 iar with Souness, Ferguson, Roberts, McCall etc All players that played for the team and were willing to face up to any team in the league.
  20. Good on AH for grabbing the opportunity. Flanagan is a good backup player as he's actually a right back that the boss has used on the left.
  21. This^^^^^^^ Cannot think of any player I've seen that could both play the killer pass plus time his arrival in to the box the way Durrant could. Had the chance to be the greatest I've seen but that tackle ended that. So still Slim Jim by a nose.
  22. The above sums up scottish football these days.
