Pish. Scottish player scores double in big game in top league, but reading it as a scottish football site promoting English fitba. Right.

Heartening to hear the PUA getting it tight on here.
I mind there was one a couple of years back who tried to bring one of his "workshops" to Glasgow. He got properly hounded on twitter and shat it. Marvellous.

Black isnt playing Junior though, he's playing Senior.
Saw him earlier this season didnt think he did much beyond stand on the centre spot, allegedly on £800 a week thats being paid by a sponsor
Is the trialist Ian Black though? I quoted your man above on the basis that you had an unnamed trialist from Tranent who looked handy. If it is Black then I've been whooshed.

Tranent juniors to the championship..that would be something..
We took both Erskine and Doolan from the juniors to what is now the championship. Some gems to be found at that level, for sure.

Caldwell for how much I can't stand the guy and his big fat heed.. actually looked like his game plan was going well last week until we had a few forced subs.. id say he had it spot on.
There are improvements from the people who have left and who we have brung in. As uninspiring as they are.. they are better than our summer singing s
Aye I wasn't at the game, but by the sounds of the radio commentary he'd got it spot on.

Having lived in both Glasgow and Aberdeen and not a native to either or indeed Scotland Aberdeen is by far a worse place to live for all the money that has passed through it. Grim and grey as f*ck.
City wise up until about 5/10 years ago Dundee could have comfortably been seen as the worst out of all the cities in Scotland but that is nowhere near the case now, would rather live in Dundee than Aberdeen by some distance now.
Precisely my feelings on Aberdeen too. I live next to Castlegate and it's a microcosm of what's bad about the city; a city centre square that should be a Piazza with cafes, nice pubs and a bit of life/culture about it. Instead it's a grim-as-f**k collection of dive pubs, a charity shop and an RS McColls. (Not including Blackfriars which is really nice). The amount of money flowing through this city vs the amount apparently spent on it is scandalous.
Reading through some of the nominations on here has made me feel a bit better about my hometown of East Kilbride, which I've been getting gradually more frustrated with. No soul about it at all, just a shopping mall surrounded by houses. Lots and lots of houses. However we have parks and trees, and the village, so aye, not that bad at all.

I think it's certainly been said subsequently, and I'd pretty much just accepted it as fact. Other cases would however suggest that it's not.
Tbf, the fact that it wasn't the case in 1994 doesn't rule out that it was the case in 1978. Drug use in sport wasn't as well known, understood or at least well talked about in the 70's as it was in the 90's, so it's conceivable that an overturning of the result would have happened.
Obviously it would have been nice if we'd managed to throw the game that way instead of getting a pumping.

Going by what I'm reading on here I think Celtic might be the move for him. Rodgers does have that ability (criminally undervalued, I think) to make existing players better. His man management and coaching seem to be sublime, and he'll get a bit more breathing space playing for Celtic than he did at, for instance, Leipzig.
I never realised that players could be taught so little in terms of tactical awareness (as RG speaks to regarding MOH) and if it's been the case with Burke (in his only cap against Lithuania he looked utterly lost) then Rodgers might be the best man to turn him into a player.

Hopefully for your sakes the Oliver Burke rumours aren't true. Utter, utter huddy of a player.

Saunders sounds like he'd be a good shout. Wright too. I don't imagine Ralston will go anywhere as he's been getting gametime recently.
GGH is the best Jags player I've seen since Chic (talk about potential gamechangers who are also potential liabilities...), and he loves the Jags. I'll wait and see, but it's a Lambie-esque signing.

Totally this.
Robertson is clearly operating at a higher level than any Scot has for a while.
Calling him 'world class' on the back of that however, betrays a towering neediness. He won't be considered as one of the current greats of the game, anywhere outside Scotland.
Towering neediness is a great phrase. I think there is a need from Scotland fans (this one, at least) to have a wonderful player who changes games and gets you off your seat (Faddy certainly had this quality, but only showed it in Scotland games, so won't qualify as World Class), someone to be proud of.
It would be pish, I think, if our "player of a generation" was a bloody left back though. Easily nullified and easily bypassed. I'll await my Andrea Pirlo thank you very much.

£2 on 5 Scottish championship draws, has seen me about a grand better off than I was this morning. That's my Christmas spends sorted.
Was wondering if someone had put a bet on this very thing. better than 500-1 sounds like a stupendous return. Enjoy sir.

Aye it's not a great article. Plenty of speculation without quotes to back it up. The "Getafe are looking to replace 36 whateverhisnamewas with Harper" seems to have been plucked from nowhere.
Obviously it would be great to have a scottish player in a decent La Liga side, so hopefully, if the bid is true, that he may be in some demand from La Liga come the summer.

I used to work in Greaves in Glasgow and frequently met the great and good of Scottish fitba.
Tore Andre Flo and his lovely wife are a stand-out memory as they were both thoroughly lovely people. Obviously you hear of fitba players who make it big (financially , at least, in the case of Flo) and they act like they're entitled to it and cut about like Louis XIV. Flo was the opposite and was totally grounded. Absolute gent and his wife was an absolute babe, in every sense.
I once played fives against Barry Lavety. I remember pegging him, but not feeling great about it afterwards. It was a pretty sad experience as he's pretty overweight now, and had fallen on hard times financially. Lovely fella, genuinely sound and humble man, but he knows he fucked up, and he wears that regret fairly obviously.
Graham Shinnie and his missus are regulars at the restaurant at which I work. Lovely chap, but never tips. Grinds my gears endlessly as he must be on a hefty wedge (see also Stevie May and Andrew Considine......but not Dom Ball, who can come back any time he pleases thank you very much). There was a period where Shinnie's other half came into the restaurant for lunch with the wee one about once, sometimes twice a week. We got chatting and it gave me a different insight into the life of a footballer's wife. She talked about how, with the recent clear out of players, she'd lost a lot of her social circle (the other wives who are young mums have play-dates etc) and she did seem particularly lonely (hence the increase in her visits to oor restaurant). I didn't even encourage her to share anything, she just unloaded for about ten minutes. Lovely exchange actually.
Finally, one for the "infuriating things your weans do" page.
My da takes me to the Scotland v Ghana u16 game in 1989. Outside the ground there's a small crowd around a man who my old man says was his favourite player when he was wee. Me being 6, I proceed to wander toward the stall where flags and badges are being sold. My da stops moving towards this former footballer and has to come and get me after I'd wandered off. He then, again tries to get me to go with him to meet this man who my dad liked as a boy. As a 6 year old whose heid was full of wee motors, I again start moving in the general direction of yet another badge and flag vendor. Faither then gives up his quest to meet this, presumably less interesting man (he wasn't selling a single badge ffs) and takes me into the ground. We take our seats and, just before the anthems there's an announcement as the man my da wanted to meet is welcomed onto the pitch. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our special guest for the day.....Pele".

Unbeaten in two though. In case you didn't know, this is exactly how title-winning runs start.

So the BBC has been running a story where the Dundee clubs have "dismissed a merger" that, from what I can gather, nobody has been proposing. Popping on here (and the arabs' thread) to find nobody talking about it tells me what a non-story this is.
BBC sport clearly struggling with a lack of top-flight fitba to speak of at the mo.
