  1. How can you f**k up building a stadium so much? I’d say it’s an ever bigger minter than Hearts forgetting to order seats.
  2. Apparently torrential rain means it’s acceptable to drive about with your full beam on dazzling every other c**t on the road. Who knew?
  3. Todd Boehly just offering however much the selling club asks for whenever Chelsea are after a player is a bit of a bold strategy tbqhwy.
  4. I don’t know about anybody else, but personally I’m really looking forward to reading the words “far closer to Morocco and the Western Sahara than it is to Portugal” about a dozen times over the course of the next few pages of this thread.
  5. It absolutely makes sense to go with the wind in the first half. For all you know it will have changed direction or calmed down by the second half.
  6. It’s absolutely heinous. There should be rules in place for this sort of thing.
  7. Congrats. Maybe if you ask Stenhousemuir and Syngenta really nicely, they’ll let you put up a plaque somewhere in Ochilview to commemorate your elite status?
  8. You’d expect we’re already paying most of his wage. Livi aren’t the sort of club that will be giving out loan players for nothing.
  9. You could make a better quality highlights package by just asking some punter on the north terrace to film the games on their phone.
  10. You come across like you take every post on here far too seriously.
  11. Some amount of nobodies playing in this high stakes game. You don’t see it anywhere else.
  12. I don’t like to agree with Richard Keys on anything but Arteta’s ants in his pants routine on the touchline is annoying as f**k.
  13. I’m not a Hearts fans but if your gripe is lack of foreign managers I’ve no idea why you’re bringing them into it. Using your 20 year timeframe they’ve had 8 non-U.K. managers.
  14. Has Morelos been involved in any of these Rangers attacks? He’s an absolute pudding.
  15. I’m quite confident in saying that the standard of Scottish football isn’t a topical conversation across the globe.
  16. This place has all the atmosphere of a morgue. You’d think Arsenal’s away support would have plenty to shout about going 7 points clear.
  17. You are literally comparing them on assists in the first paragraph of this post. It isn’t putting Robertson down to say he isn’t as good as Cole. Cole was absolutely exceptional and the best I’ve seen. I don’t know who is second best because I’m not old enough to have seen all the great Premier League left-backs. All I know is that Robertson is excellent but not at the same level as Cole was. It must be a grim life to view everything in such black and white terms as you do. Win percentages If you want a couple of stats in Cole’s favour - he has more tackles per game (1.60 to 1.55) and a much higher tackle success rate (74% to 64%). Considering how much the role of a full back has changed since Cole, and the drastically different playing style of the teams they played in, doing this on stats alone is nonsensical anyway. Robertson’s attacking stats read far better, but he’s also playing in a time when full backs are far more involved in attacking play and for a team who direct so much of their play through the full backs. I’m sure it’s likely that TAA has some attacking numbers far better than many of the great Premier League right-backs, but I highly doubt you’ll be arguing his case to be the greatest right-back anytime soon. From the left-backs I’ve seen Cole is way out on his own and Robertson won’t be “leaving him in the dust” any time soon. Fairly sure most who’ve seen both of them play would agree with that. That isn’t a criticism of Robertson but no doubt you’ll rattle on for another few pages quoting “win percentages” and “goals scored” while boring the tits off everybody.
  18. Andy Robertson leaving Ashley Cole in the dust . f**k me. Ashley Cole was exceptional. I’m hard pushed trying to think of a better 1-on-1 defender I’ve seen in my time watching football. You’d have to be a fucking moron to reduce the comparison to “assists”.
  19. The Queen’s got a bit of Margaret Thatcher about her there.
  20. If you’d like, I’ll start a game with Brighton and chuck him in the reserves. Use it as a control case. That way we can compare results and really get to the bottom of it.
  21. Normally your sarky remark is fair game but you’re living on another planet if you don’t notice the difference in rhetoric regarding diving when it involves someone from these islands compared to someone from anywhere else. I didn’t think that was a remotely controversial comment tbh.
