Sums up the spirit in the dressing room, and his wee "accidental" quip about the league/group is good aswell. 

[GA1972 9,555]

Speaks well the big man, very shrewd signing his saving tackle when he took the knock second half was superb 

[RockwellGers 14,712]

Very likeable. Only saw a snippet of the first half and all of the second, but he was solid.

[plumbGER 24,518]

Very humble lad and doesn't try to kid the fans and mug us off. Describes the match as it was and a hard fought victory that wasn't always pleasing on the eye but the team got the job done. Nice to hear his views and talks like a good pro.

[Hadron Collider 30,873]

Highlights coming on now on BT sports. Need to top up the wine.

Did you see Scotty Arfield's interview, I've never seen a man smile so much through a conversation. Absolutely beaming he was

Mate, honest to god, said about it on the gaffer interview thread and texted a few boys privately. Been feeling like shit recently, not been in a great place, but today was a lot better and after Scotty's interview I felt great. His enthusiasm and hyperness/happiness definitely cheered me up no end. Really positive vibe off him and Coisty remarked about it afterwards also.

Love him so much.

I'm still raging to this day the cunts on here and social media that thought he was shite and finished  

He offers us so much and has the mentality to back it up. 

I've said this before but defo worth repeating that a Parks Driver who took the team bus a couple of times for Old Firm games told me that Arfield was first one down the front with the CD with the decent'ish tunes (I say decent'ish cos you can't have songs about killing catholics but still get some decent tunes on the go - if you get my drift) saying "get that on driver" and pumping the bus up.

Love him.

Yeah that was great what McCoist was saying. I've been pretty low as well mate, things have been improving though. Hope it picks up for you

Cheers bud, you too mate. If you need any general advice or that feel free to drop me a PM. Been through a lot of this sort of stuff and it's swings and roundabouts mate, all about managing it.

Good on you for owning upto feeling like shit and not being in a good place.

I can't really relate because it's not really me and the way I feel, but the feeling I get is that even though it's hard for you to even type that out on an open forum, it's still good folk are because the stigma around this stuff is slowly but surely vanishing.

I know it's an old cliche but a problem shared is a problem halved.

I know I've been the brunt of jokes on here for it before but my Auntie is the best person in my life and my sort of "therapy" for want of a better word is that anything that's on my mind, I say it to her and minute I've said it, the pressure is right off my shoulders (even if it's nothing she can help me with). 

If it's people you respect and trust then it's cool - get it spilled and move on.

Sometimes that's all it takes is just to get it off your shoulders and more often than not, it's not really a massive issue, but the mental state means you just need it shared.

As you rightly say, there is a stigma attached and people can feel a bit embarrassed to open up about things. I was guilty of that myself for years but the last few years have changed that and now I open up a lot more but that's not to say I never revert to type and bottle things up for a while. 

I know exactly what you mean about when you speak to your aunt, miniscule things you might have a doubt about you will tell her and she'll put it into perspective and say what you are hoping to hear most times. Just hearing it from someone else puts your mind at ease.

I find it easier chatting on here or to randoms in the gym or work than I do to those closest me, learned not to be so trusting of colleagues though.

When Burnley won promotion he was belting out Simply The Best 😂 

[Brackley Bluenose 4,479]

What a cracking interview. Normally can’t stand listening to footballers regurgitate the same old shite but that was a good listen from the big man, especially with english not being his first language. 
 

Some player by the way. 

[Colin Traive 22,754]

What a great signing he has been.

Couldn’t have anticipated Katic injury, Helander’s Covid or Edmundson’s stupidity but thank fuck someone at Ibrox did.

Speaks well, good solid pro, role model to the kids, fine ambassador for the club.

The comparison between him and Duffy could not be more extreme but then we signed on talent, experience and merit not cultural and religious grounds.

[Redemption80 170]

He has done well and is yet another smart transfer.

Just finished watching his interview and he is definitely a confident speaker.

Stay strong bud.

Even though we are all randoms on an internet forum we are right behind you.

Agree with every word mate.

I realised late in life that I suffered from severe anxiety and stress, and have basically done so all my life when I started to look back. Only started managing it in the last 10 years.

Keep the head up and fight on big man. Oh aye, and don't trust the fuckers at work!

Depression, anxiety and other related conditions are terrible things, I've seen loved ones and close friends battle these demons.

There is always light at the end of that tunnel though, no matter how dark it might seem at times.

Just talking about it on here is a really big achievement and a positive sign. 

My thoughts are with you mate.

He was playing like he was. Not having international football has been such a benefit. He’s been fantastic this season.
