  1. Watched a few minutes. On a par with Pollok v Benburb. Quite honestly, with Coulibaly and Sadiq added to the squad, we should stroll through. Famous Last Words Loyal??
  2. Must be my age, mate. Distinctly remember one of these testimonials/friendlies where we had a youngster who outshone the established stars and was convinced it was this one?
  3. Hoping Wallace will realise he’s now third choice for LB (fourth if you count Beerman) and that we can part on good terms. Same with Fod who is obviously on a decent wage (which we could use elsewhere) and surplus to requirements. Good luck to him. I still think SG has plans for Rossiter. The way he talked about his preseason work did not suggest this is a player he wants to move on. This ankle injury is unrelated to the long term problems he had and, if he can get past that, I think he’ll be a part of Gerrard’s plans.
  4. If Morelos goes then we need to replace him but we need more in even if he stays. And who was chairman when Pedro and Graeme Murty were appointed? Defending the club when the SFA take the piss is great but it’s only half the battle.
  5. Fairly obvious that SG rightly doesn’t see Morelos, Sadiq and Windass as adequate attackers for the season ahead but also now obvious that King hopes that they are. Minimum two forwards (no more loans) required especially if we want to retain our highest scorers in the league trophy?
  6. Gradually weeding them out. Far bigger job than it should have been and the players away on loan will hopefully never return. Halliday, Hodson, Cardoso still to go, I think - anyone else?
  7. Never known a player with his ability to disappear for prolonged periods. His average contribution must be around five or six minutes out of every ninety he plays. If anyone thinks that a player in his mid twenties is suddenly, after years of literally getting paid for nothing, going to turn into a tireless grafter, is not optimistic: such a person is deluded.
  8. Was there to see a very young Derek Ferguson run the game
  9. Rangers first, Scottish second, British third for me. England can fuck off then, when they get there, they can fuck off again from there.
  10. Heavy going mate. Guy in Germany spending that long thinking about Scottish football sounds like his frankfurter needs a good sooking?
  11. Succinct, accurate and beyond dispute. A post whose brevity is only matched by its profundity. A beacon of clarity and an example to us all. Well done sir?
  12. There is no comparison in the terms you suggest. But after checking to see if my team has won, the next thing I do is check if the team I detest most have lost. At club level, that is the taigs, at international level, that is Engerlund.
  13. Can’t see it that way. The English don’t even think about us enough to hate us. Their indifference is even more galling than hatred. Wishing England well because they’re British is no different to wishing the taigs well because they are (intermittently) Scottish. Wales and Northern Ireland have never ridiculed us as a team or as a country so I always wish them well and I was delighted with both doing well in recent qualifying campaigns. I’m abroad so I’ll miss the day of mourning, the candlelit vigils, the wailing and the gnashing of teeth but I’ll revel in it even from thousands of miles away.
  14. My policy is similar to the taigs - I would only consider watching their highlights if I know they’ve lost.
  15. I understand that but the BBC for example is a national broadcaster. Our choice is an Engerlund obsessed London agenda or a taig obsessed Glasgow one. I grew up watching Keegan and Gerry Francis ripping us new ones and, if you’d lived through that, you could never back England. NEVER.
  16. Barcelona was MY team. England are not and never will be my team. Pathetic post
  17. Thank fuck they’re out. Sick of hearing about Geoff Hurst etc - they’re as bad as the fucking Lisbon Lions. They started with no Italians or Dutch to worry about, Germany were shite, they lay down to Belgium to get an easier ride and it nearly paid off. Would have been a travesty had they won it. An average team got a few breaks but thankfully quality shut Shearer and Lineker et al up for good. Bring on Rangers season and get this sideshow tae fuck.
  18. This all day long. Fuck England, fuck their media, fuck Geoff Hurst, fuck Jimmy Hill, fuck Mumbles Kane, fuck LGBT Sterling. Until the corrupt SFA are taken out, international football is as relevant as the local bools tournament. If you’ve never worked down south or for an Engerlish company, you can’t imagine the contempt they have for us “Sweaty Socks” Mon the Croats ??
  19. Goldson and Arfield will be the leaders on the park, not Tav, regardless of title.
  20. Only because their beloved scumbags from the east end applied too and, for once, they treated us the same.
  21. Bastard! Thought my 50 might nick it. First game was Stein’s debut at Ibrox after 100k transfer from Hibs. The score? Check the avatar ?????
  22. Ask Raheem Sterling. Runs like one of the batteries came oot and it’s still up there...
