  1. Am I going nuts or is this not true? It was Keown that formed the partnership with Liam Lindsay, rather than DD. Could be howling put my arse though. E.T.A. Cerny was fine in our relegation season.
  2. Not true, but probably not in the way you think. Les agiteurs du chapelet tend to imagine that they are somehow forbidden from joining the masons by the masonic lodge itself, but it was in fact Pope Clement XII that banned catholics from joining the masons (masons being proudly secular but spiritual) in his 1738 papal bull entitled in eminente apostolatus. Until 1983 any catholic joining the freemasons would incur an automatic excommunication. Nowadays they just can't receive holy communion as joining the freemasons is considered a grave sin. You probably knew that, but I only found this out recently after years of listening to my auld da' and his catholic persecution complex.
  3. Mass didn't switch to English til, iirc, 1972, so this can't be true.
  4. The fella what wrote Peer Gynt? I'll have to re-watch that.
  5. Thanks for not only posting the video, but taking the time to ensure that it started at the bit where he was asked the Gilmour question. I appreciated that. To the bit in bold, I know that this is something Tuchel said at the end, but I'm wondering if, at this stage in his development, that's a realistic expectation, especially if the club seem to be utter dross. It sounded more like a challenge, something to aim for, rather than a condition of getting back into the team. Assuming that it is a requirement, how would you go about judging whether he makes Norwich a "better team"? Dean Smith obviously thinks he makes them better otherwise he wouldn't keep putting him in the team. I honestly can't be arsed doing the leg work to really look at this though, and it would be quite the rabbit hole of stats, numbers and then questions of interpretations of said numbers. Sounds like you could be doing with something to occupy yourself though.....
  6. I suppose it isn't a "true" home game in the sense that there won't be a corresponding away fixture, as in a two legged knock-out tie or group stage game. I'd be grand with us only giving Ukraine 1500, so I don't have a great issue with us only receiving 1500 for the smaller Stadio della Cardiff City.
  7. Well done lads for voting against VAR. It's fucking astonishing that your club are the only one that seems to value "fan experience" as massively important. Cheers for trying.
  8. I'm already looking forward to the construction of the 100,000 seater Maryhill Maracana to accommodate our half of the weegie support. I hope we keep the voting structure as is. Wouldn't want our absolute stranglehold on the Scottish game to be threatened by uppity Embra clubs or that disagreeable lot from the North East.
  9. Not sure why you'd be expecting a Jags fan, or indeed anyone, to have the answers you seek on why the current Airdrie manager isn't "part of the conversation" on the Hibs position. Given all the Mark McGhee posts I'd be fucking ecstatic that anyone was engaging with your query in anyway seriously . Hoping the Klinsmann shout is valid. That would be bonkers, but brilliant.
  10. Given that Fergie got rid of McGrath who, like Best was a raging alcoholic, but had more of a work ethic, I wouldn't agree with this. Can you think of any such troubled geniuses who Fergie rehabilitated? I reckon the increase in focus around mental health generally would be more conducive to the likes of Best than just Fergie, so you might be right overall. Great idea for a thread, although less of the obscure initialisms please (I don't watch nearly enough non-scottish football for that). Scott Paterson would have been immense nowadays. Ball playing centre halves were like hen's teeth in the noughties, and sport science would have sorted his hip out earlier so he wouldn't end up at the Jags () and retiring at 29. He'd end up at a hipstery German outfit like Frankfurt or Mainz, before becoming an Ajax stalwart. I fucking fancy him.
  11. I just had a look at Thiago's highlights reel from last night that had a'body on here purring. I reckon Gilmour can get to that level. He wasn't going on massive runs, or making great tackles. he was making himself available and then playing beautiful passes. Gilmour can get to that level if he keeps working hard.
  12. My ex's aul' fella is a huge cricket fan. Perfect sport to watch with a hangover tbf. Also, he used to occasionally turn out for Inverary cc and the slap up feed they'd get at "lunch" sounded epic. It's the part of cricket that's a big plus for me. Golf is absolutely one of my favourite sports to play. Folk who are just in to football are ftw imo.
  13. Aye I don't know why that is or what you do about that. Anyone in youth coaching on here have any insight? And I hope you excuse the pedantry, but you find it incredible or you are incredulous.
  14. The ASV is already a top class community sports complex, and is just a hop, skip and jump from the beach. The idea of having a hulking great football stadium right by the beach gives me the fear. Litter on the beach is already a problem in summer (blown from the promenade) and with the windy autumn and winter we get this would be a year round problem. The "cricket pitch" is popular with families and folk with dogs. I'd hate to see that go. I know this sounds like nimby pish, and it is. I live here, and love it.
  15. Rhodes firing us to a world cup would be utter poetry.
  16. Tbh decimated has been used as hyperbole for ages, in the same way that if I witnessed a fight and said the fella pulverised him, you wouldn't assume that he'd literally turned him into powder.
