    Yesterday was the type of game where if Celtic were flying we'd have been more likely to have kept a respectable scoreline as we'd have changed the shape. Very much naivety/arrogance on our part and it reminded me of when we went to Ibrox under Hartley in the cup thinking that Rangers would be easy pickings for a top 6 squad like ours. The manager clearly thought we'd be coming up against a diddy Championship outfit and then we conceded within 60 seconds before getting pumped.

    Yesterday was similar. McPake clearly thought we could just out-play Celtic and their defence would leak goals but didn't take into account just how pish our backline is and we went for a battering ram type up top rather than the 'never lets you have a second type' in Mullen that has made that type of formation successful for us.

    With no pressure being put on Celtic with our high press, they were able to pick us off at will and then we, as is typical in high scoring McPake games, just lost any sense of organisation and got pumped.

    Mc Pake is so lucky that when he gets it wrong, he has so many joiners and engineers willing to lend their expertise to advise him why.

    Penis and John Kosmina prepare to do battle at the excellent but very rickety Olympic Park Stadium in Melbourne.

    I recall a bit of trouble during the game possibly initiated from the expats.

    Is the Souness thumb too far round for a normal handshake?

    I think he had just arrived the day before, and not with the team due to Italian commitments. He looks a bit pale and tired...

    Kick Off was about 8 in morning here and a lot of workplaces allowed the guys the morning off to watch it!

    Have you been to France the last few years? 

    Ive been about 4 or 5 times watching Celtic and some of the 'facilities' in bars and service stations in particular are beyond horrific, the latter in particular would draw a reaction from most people akin to Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' painting...been at a few where it is literally a tiled floor with a hole in it, not even cubicled off... and unisex as well 😱😱😱

    Been in a few pubs as well with unisex toilets... urinals right next to the cubicles the ladies use, pretty fucking grim.

    I was picking grapes in south of France 79 ish and holes in the ground were the norm.  Quite frankly, you’d shit anywhere in the countryside rather than that.

    Never noticed that before: two subs were introduced in 73-74, I think. There were two subs in that season's final, and it seems odd that only one per team was allowed in these first two games.

    The second replay was on the Monday night following a Wembley Scotland v England game: I mind getting off the train that night coming back from London, and not even knowing a Scottish Cup Final was getting played. There must have been two subs, I'll check with a boy that was at that match (on the pitch).

    That’s right, it was May 1979, not 80 or 81.

    CHAMPIONS 2 - 0 ERR UNITED.

    If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to witness it, FOLLOWERS, does it make a sound? 

    If the Capital's most PRESTIGIOUS and RIGHT HONOURABLE team suffers an unjust TEMPORARY LOCATIONAL ADJUSTMENT and nobody is there to witness it, did it even really happen?!

    For the benefit of the BACKWATER DUNDERPATES and YAHOOS of the Chumpionship forum who did not understand the subtle parallel that I have CRAFTED above, I am of course referring to Heart of Midlothian's brief SOJOURN in this LAUGHABLE league. 

    Yet another routine win achieved with a minimum of style and effort, against yet another ENTIRELY NONDESRIPT outfit of brickies and bus drivers. I am of the FIRM BELIEF that your Champions could simply forfeit every remaining fixture and still hold a COMMANDING LEAD over the BUMBLING JACKANAPES who RISIBLY call themselves "competitors". 

    GENUINELY HAVE NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in which JOBBERS are next due to step in the ring with HULK HEARTS, but you can rest assured that the Champions will continue to RUN WILD on the PROVINCIAL PATSIES

    Unless I've slipped into a parallel universe, which is quite possible tbf and preferable , I cannot recall in my 46 years of visiting Dens Park the playing surface being in such a permanently poor winter condition.

    Surely the existing under-soil heating system could be utilised to counter balance the excessive residual ground moisture content and thereby assist with the natural drainage. Lesser clubs get by using simple pitch coverage assisted by gas/electric hot air blowers. I've certainly seen over the years far harder winters locally than this one.

    One thing is for sure, the groundsman does not become poor at his job overnight, hence I would have to assume there are conflicting internal issues we are not aware of.

    Knew someone would find a way to blame McPake for the pitch

    Why didn't your Dad do it himself?

    I'll give you an alternative view to @The Mantis.

    I tried Brains about that time and near boaked. I returned to Cardiff about 40 years later, having switched from lager to beer about 5 years before. I thought Brains would be worth re-visiting, so I did and near boaked again. They have widened their range though and you can get others that are better than the traditional Brains SA.

    This thread corrected a misconception I had. I've a been to Cardiff and Swansea for Scotland games and thought I'd been to Wrexham. The game I was thinking of was the one Alan Brazil scored, turns out that was Cardiff as well.

    Which underlines the fact that other types of beer than Brains were available.

    You get great bottles of Brains Dark Ale in Tesco’s, not too strong and delicious.

    if we can't get Mcmullen from the dab's this window we need to get more pace into the team. Has Mcpake said if he is trying to get players in during this window?

    A new manager would be ideal but if he's still here after that embarrassment on saturday i fear we are stuck with the idiot for the rest of the season.

    Much preferable to being stuck with you.
