well fan for life

Tbh I think our previous manager(s) tactics hung our fullbacks out to dry. SOD has always very much been a fullback/wingback who is at his best when he's allowed to storm up and down the pitch. Alexander had him literally told not to stop crosses or go over the half way line. You could see him sticking the anchors on as soon as he got there. As for left back we've had Carroll (an idiot who is broken) and McGinley (an intellectual who is broken). Penney looked alright for a while before he decided he fucking hated it and the change of literally everything probably helped Furlong & Johnston out big time.

Give me a couple of weeks and I will have completely forgot Aitchison ever played for us. Speirs was given the big build up last summer (I'm still in therapy to erase that period out of my memory) and now he's emptied. So got to assume he was nowhere near it.

Really, really enjoyed it but there's a bit of revisionism if you follow the sport. Alaphillipe ruled himself out the Tour weeks before hand so the real selection debate here was whether they took Phillipsen (obviously a big story after returning from that horrific Tour of Poland crash) or whether they bring Cavendish who is the greatest sprinter of all time. Also leaving this on the cutting room floor is borderline unforgivable. It's one of the most sporting moments I can remember in my years of watching cycling: However I will Stan for Wout van Aert forever. The guy races with the most panache of anyone in the sport. Highlight of the entire show was probably seeing the rest of the squads react to this completely ridiculous bit of descending from Pidcock:

FTFY

I like that Kettlewell just appeared in January/February and simply nothing happened to get us to that point.

Was coming on to say similar. Was over there for a few days last year and the entire place is bloody immaculate. The metro in Copenhagen is spotless, the parks are all clean & tidy and the streets rarely have any rubbish floating around. It rips my knitting when I walk through Glasgow Green after a hot day because the whole park is a fucking shit hole. People leaving their rubbish at their arse, scorching patches of the grass with their shitty disposable barbecues and not picking up their dog's shite. Have a bit of pride in your surroundings ffs.

I can't help but feel these review of the season posts on the socials are missing a couple of bits & pieces. Can't quite put my finger on what, though.

Aye. At the end of the day a hod carrying midfielder is going to be much easier to replace than a 30 goal a season big, weird Dutchman.

Across the Spider-Verse was just jaw dropping levels of gorgeous. So unbelievably good.

I can't fault Deano because he runs about a lot but I'm not exactly gutted he's gone. He's an ok player at this level but I've not seen anything that suggests he's going to kick on. And if we make a bit of money then all the better.

Either they've done him dirty with a filter here or he needs some factor 50 pronto.

Episode 3. Christ. Awful acting. Awful, awful, awful CGI. The one thing we got that was good was Obi Wan saying the thing: I'd probably say they diminished in quality throughout the films. On to Solo (which I remember being quite good fun) and then Rogue One (The GOAT).

Hope it's QP away and we can play the what the f**k are Queen's Park up to game along with their entire support.

I was absolutely up to my eyeballs with covid watching that on stream. Genuinely got me up off the couch when he put that tackle in.

Abel Thermeus. Played about 12 minutes in total, then stuck the head on a Killie player and got sent off never to be seen again.

Personally can't wait to play Morton.

Away to Italy for a fortnight at the end of summer. Any restaurant/wine based/sightseeing recommendations for Cinque Terre, Florence and Bologna are very welcome.

I'm really going to miss our big weird Dutchman.

Unless Moult's paying us and doing his own washing I say we go nowhere near him.

That's just the result of Ricki Lamie's attempted cross field passes.

Watched Sportscene last night for a look at this bottle job. My thoughts: How the hell was that not a penalty in the first half? It's a big daft trip. Crichton saying something along the lines of "I agree that it's not a penalty but if it had been given I'd have agreed that it is a penalty". I mean across the board I'd say the entire ex-pro pundits on Sportscene/Sportsound are stealing a wage. How the hell was that a penalty? Samuel's got his elbow in Graham's face which I'd say should be a foul the other way. Thistle's bottle crashed in a spectacular manner after that. Just completely fell to bits. Howling at Bannigan claiming for an offside before the third goal when he is playing every single person onside by about 5 yards. VAR is still a complete nonsense. Neither the VAR or the referee seem to want to take responsibility so they stand for 5 minutes having a chat about it before going over to the screen anyway. At which point it's a complete lottery as to what's given. I seen earlier in the thread someone saying it would be interesting to hear from the referee why they have come to their decision. I'm not really a fan of either sport but I do like that in NFL & Rugby the referees are mic'd up so they can explain what they have seen and why they have given what they have given.

Either Malky Mackay and Jordan White were going to be gutted or Lawless was. It was win-win for me.

I don't know but I respect the hell out of it. Seen the winning team wins *Dr Evil* one million dollars. Maybe he's eyeing up a lovely new gaff in Gourock.

One of the best club statements we've ever put out.
