There have been some players who were so obviously above our natural level, that you just want to enjoy them playing foryour team. Mulumbu was one, Naismith was one near the end of his time, Boyd too first time round. But Eremenko, for me, was slightly different. As much as I still love the guy, I remember at times feeling almost a sense of frustration in 10/11 that he was ever near us in the first place. A guy who could have played in any league in the world and caught the eye....spent one of his peak years at Kilmarnock. He was utterly utterly exceptional, and made the extraordinary seem totally routine. And it still fucking depresses me that he was beaten to PotY by Emilio Izaguirre.

McDonald doing the pitch side team announcement has to stop, he sounds like a fucking secondary school kid who's won a competition.

Michael Stewart has jumped the shark. I've been thinking it for a while, but his "angry shouty wee ginger guy" schtick is just unlistenable. First we had a "debate" on Sunday night that descended into him shouting down Thommo on Sportscene, then we were treated to the same shit with MacDonald the following night on the radio. If he can't control his emotions, then he quite simply shouldn't be doing the job he's doing. Even the idea that he attempted to embark on a political career is just ludicrous.

I was at secondary school with Craig, and as a resultit used to make me cringe to hear the level of stick he got. Having said that he wasn't great for us second time round - particularly towards the end of his time - althoughdefinitely shouldered a disproportionate level of blame for a shite defence. At St Mirren it was very obviously always a different story, and he's looked well in anything I've seen of the buddies this season. I'm surprised he's opted to move into coaching so young given his injury record, but Sunderland must be paying well. Hope he does well, as regardless of what some might say he's got a playing career he can be very proud of.

This philosophy isn't working for Clander Zark, St Johnstone netminder.

I've had second thoughts, I might be thinking of "commemoration".

Now you mention it, "armistice celebration" I think is quite widely used nowadays.

Certainly piling the pressure on a result today. What could go wrong?

Welcome to the meh derby mate. It's pathological. They hate everything we stand for.

He certainly is today.

@Dee Man gets it.

I can only presume it's yet to come.

Somebody check on Zorro...

I'd be amazed if there was significantly more advertising and social focus on the EPL in this country as there is in Scandinavia. Take that chip off your shoulder.

FTFY

All of them. At once. All #juggernauted

What do you mean here? Surely any media outlet will care only as much as the broadcasts are commercially viable?

Ask @Monkey Tennis, he loves this shit.

You're either overreacting, or just showing off - either way it's not gaining any traction.

Another squad, another shutout - and that's despite Saints being one of the form teams in the UK. Fucking scandal.

It's never been particularly relevant because I don't support a relegation regular #w38 fodder crew m8. Soz.

61 minutes silence.

Aye mate. In the sports centre on Alexander St.

Wishaw Tennis Club?

It's almost admirable that Michael Stewart possesses the bombastic self-belief to wade into a debate about strict liability as a legal concept and its implications if adopted by Scottish football, all seemingly without a shred of research, and armed with nothing more than his usual school playground deliberate obtuseness that he uses to outwit the likes of poor Charlie Adam. His interruption to challenge why the international authorities hadn't censured the SFA for the Offensive Behaviour bill (as was) was a particular lowlight.
