  1. Butcher did neither at Hibs, football was dire to watch and they got relegated through the play offs

    If McGlynn did walk and we got another manager in then obv the main goal would be to get us up into 9th then 8th but after that we'd be wanting entertaining football played, not 10 men behind the ball and the odd boot up the park to a lone striker,

    Don't get me wrong I'm not saying we should take Butcher, it could be a disaster. I just don't think we should discount him because the football is honking.

  2. Also, just seen Aberdeen's 'jacobite in leather' for the first time in years (if you've seen him, you'll know who I'm on about) - I forgot of his existence.

    I used to see him all the time at the Music Hall. When I first moved to Aberdeen I would do a double take every time I saw him. An odd fellow.

  3. Does anyone else suffer from early wake ups after a night out. I genuinely seem to wake up earlier the more I drink. Most Sundays I'll wake up around 10/11, yet because I've been out the last two night I woke up at half 5 instead :lol: Wide fucking awake

    I'm the same.

    If I can play it right, no hangover etc, I can have a pretty productive day after a big night out. Just need to stick to certain drinks, Old Mout cider, Jack Daniels or Deuchars right now are the three that I can drink as much as I want and not end up with a stinking hangover. Couple of glasses of water and the jobs a good 'un.

  4. Why would they "come clean" earlier? When it would be pretty difficult to prove that anyone else actually knew, it wouldn't be in their interest to do so. Waiting until all their business was conducted is what any other club would do. There's no room for real honesty in football when there's money involved.

    You can criticise the club for the tax issue but you can't criticise them for when they came clean.

  5. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit were all kinds of good tonight. Probably the best reception for someone who wasn't in their hometown I've ever seen.

  6. I'm on the most recent series that's on the UK Netflix, for some reason that's a season ahead of the US version. It's pretty good, maybe not as good as things like Always Sunny but still pretty enjoyable.

    ​Rafi is easily the best character despite only appearing in a few episodes per series, although I think if he was used any more he'd become pretty tiresome.

  7. I can't get this to work on my laptop that runs Linux so I think for now my CM career is back on hiatus.

    ​I'd forgotten how random things could get at times in this game. I started my career off at Albion Rovers where I took them up to the First Division with consecutive promotions before sucummbing to relegation after 1 season. By the time I'd got to the First, Alloa had been bought over and were paying Tony Adams £33k a week to be player/manager. I think he chased promotion with them for about a season before spending the next 4 or 5 years skirting with relegation, still on £33k a week. They didn't spend a penny on new players that might be able to help them, just Tony Adams.

    ​An ageing Chris Waddle returned to Falkirk, in what must have been his mid-forties, for a couple of seasons before quietly disappearing.

    ​The Wayne Rooney playing for Arbroath thing I posted a while ago is quite wierd as well.

    ​I moved on to Dunfermline in I think 2009 after leaving Albion Rovers following a second promotion, and subsequently failing to win any of my first 6 games in the First with them. Dunfermline were a Second Division club, and had been from very early on in the game. Took them back to the first with Iain Diack being the star of a pretty poor team. Stayed a season or two with them before jumping ship to Hamilton Accies who were in the First Division. Took them to second in the league two seasons running with a Scottish Cup final defeat against Celtic in my final season.

    ​Most recently I was at Motherwell who I took from 11th in the SPL to 2 second place finishes on the trot and 2 Scottish Cup wins. Steven Craig was, at 33, the SPL's highest goalscorer with something like 35 goals. Some of the highlights were beating Barcelona twice in three seasons and qualifying for the second round of the Champions League this season, I haven't been able to finish this season.

    ​Davie Moyes is Scotland manager, he was Partick Thistle manager as well for a period but was sacked by Partick. Off the top of my head I think Craig Levien was his predecessor but that might just have been a nightmare. Craig Brown left the Scotland job in about 2007. We still haven't qualified for anything since France 98.
