  1. They are close to winning something anyway. The fact that a German will put them over the line and stain it for them is pretty decent banter. Although I am prepared to change my views on this depending on what Sean Dyche says.
  2. Doak does give the ball away but tbf its not because he's positive, it's more just an experience thing for me. He sometimes picks the wrong pass in his own defensive third. Experience will teach him better passes to pick, when to launch it, when to try and buy a foul etc etc. Given how much football he is suddenly playing at EFL and national level, I expect he will come on pretty quickly
  3. Mulgrew clearly thinks cos overhead kicks look class when they come off it can't be a foul
  4. Of course its a foul. It's no different to a defender going for the ball eith a boot at head height. If an opponents head is there, you are endangering them
  5. At this point in time, I don't think it's too conspiratorial to assume part of the Portugal job interview is "you'll do what Ronaldo says". Only a fraud would take the job and not drop him .
  6. I don't hate the way we have approached playing a far better team in either match v Portugal and I thought we were better than Poland. I totally understand that this leaves every bit as much of a puzzle to solve as if we had been utter shite
  7. Wonder what searingly hot take Roy Keane is lining up for attention after this development....
  8. I've been looking for a way to insult people from work, and "I throw them all in a big bag of shit" doesn't feel like it's going to be topped.
  9. If you're looking to get put out to pasture, theres no point appealing to me mate.
  10. I can't think of specifically a midfield pairing (forget that they are individually fantastic) like Tait and Spencer in a Falkirk jersey off the top of my head. We might have had stronger midfields where an absolute baller like Vaulks say pushed the whole thing up a level and carried others to an extent, but for understanding and rapport #Tencer* are like nothing I can think of. *Yes I did, and i'll do it again.
  11. His track record is very literally borrowing money to buy big things that already function, and slowly make them worse by underinvesting. This is not a man that builds or creates. He's a f**king parasite.
  12. I wonder if binning the guy that literally made them what they are will bring home to their fans what their billionaire saviour is actually like in real life.
  13. That fact that theres a name for his goal celebration makes me cringe so hard.
  14. I knew it was them. Even when it was the immigrants, I knew it was the corrupting signals.
  15. Bit of talk about VT's absence, but if anything will bring him back to the board, it will be mandatory injections for the fatties.
  16. I made other plans when the prices were deserving of telling Hamilton to poke it. Much as id like to go support my team, im not patching those plans. Just need to hope its not another absolute battering with only 1 point to show for it.
  17. Not just in terms of golf, but we're going to have to find new fun things, because by Christ we are getting priced out of all the fun things we have now.
  18. I'm sure theres a football da' thread that I can effortlessly segue into here, but when I see Fantasy League shit discussed on Sky Sports News, or FIFA stats used like they are in some way relevant it has me seething, and I enjoy a game of FIFA as much as the next man. Nothing wrong with participating, but grown adults trying to make these things more serious than they are is a sign of the number of people who still desperately want to be children IMO
  19. Heard the rumour a few days ago, and alongside the rumour, also Raith were mentioned. Specifically that they were gutted to miss out, and Paul Smith was instrumental in getting him to us. Given that the player was correct, no reason to suspect its not true that Raith weren't also wanting to sign him. Showing his Uni smarts joining the #NavyBlue tbh
  20. Loud shouts about some obscure result in Germany or Belgium for their coupon is the worst.... "TOLD YOU THEY WOULD WIN THEY WERE AN ABSOLUTE BANKER DIDN'T YOU KNOW THEY'VE WON 4 OF THEIR LAST 5!?!?"
  21. He's certainly upped his levels in terms of final product this season
  22. I don't wear colours I usually drive. I don't particularly WANT to, or at least sometimes I don't want to, but I find myself often faced with either that or don't attend. Emotion gets the better of me in the heat of the moment, i'd say i'm pretty much how @Dons_1988 described himself because I don't take it home with me and can analyse the match after with a clear head for the most part. I'll join in with the signing in a sort of muted way. I'm sure no kids/pissed/in amongst it on a terrace i'd be a bit more animated but thats just not the way it usually is for me at this point. I do think there's still an absolute caveman instinct inside us that football has the power to bring out. I'll give a specific example. I was stood a few yards from Matty Aitken who I felt dived to win a penalty v us for Stenny a few weeks back. I felt an incredible urge to launch the capri sun I was holding for the wean directly at his head for this perceived slight. I didn't, because that's not something I would do. But my chimp mind wanted him capri-sunned.
