Bundesliga 2024/25
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to German Jag's topic in Misc Other Fitba Chat
After just staying up in 15th place in the Bundesliga, Augsburg have made three new signings for next season - Daniel Caligiuri from Schalke, Rafal Giliewicz from Union Berlin and Tobias Strobl from Mönchengladbach. Three very solid signings. -
January Transfers of '20
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to D'Jaffo's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Billy King has left Morton following the expiration of his contract. Pointless waste of a wage. Hopefully more to follow. -
Partick Thistle vs Morton
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to Fuctifano's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Likely to be the same narrow midfield diamond that we've seen in the last few games, with Salkeld playing just off McHugh. Disappointed not to see Nesbitt come back in. Lack of width has been a problem in the last few games. -

Depression
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to paranoid android's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
I suppose the only way to describe how I feel is stuck. Stuck in my own solitary life, which from the outside really doesn't look too bad. I had a bad start. Lost my parents to the booze, and my older brother died suddenly all within 8 months. That was 17 years ago now. I probably lost 4-5 years back then in a blur of drinking, financial struggle and anti-depressants, but met a girl who changed my life. Got married. Buggered off abroad and genuinely felt what I thought was happiness. I've since realised that just having someone who showed me affection was hiding all the red flags in my life, and masking the deep lying issues. I had a family again, it's what I craved. I hadn't had any sort of Shortly after getting married, things started to unravel a bit. She expected more of me, and I didn't have the strength of mind to step up. I became more insular, stopped going out, generally stopped making an effort in more or less all aspects of life. Yet it still came as a shock to me when, after 2 years of marriage, she walked out on me. I had given up. I wasn't the guy she married anymore. It crushed me, because I was still convincing myself that I was 'happy' when I clearly wasn't. Anyway, we rushed through a divorce, and I saw coming home as the safe option. I've been back for 4 and a half years now. Had a couple of relationships, none have been right for me, one even made things a whole lot worse by putting a massive amount of pressure on my shoulders to provide for her 2 kids due to the deadbeat dad not bothering his arse. I think it's safe to say that I don't handle pressure very well. Loneliness is seen as a problem that only affects the old. I can assure you, after 2 Christmases and Birthdays spent on my own without as much as a card, that it's real and exists among the young. The feelings of despair over the last year or so have floored me at times. I'm at a point in my life where I'm finally getting all the grown up things in order. Bought my first place last year, doing well in work, even up for promotion and s substantial wedge in extra money, but I feel nothing but emptiness. I live my life alone. I have a decent group of friends, all around since school. They're all doing their thing, living their life, having kids and everything that comes with it. They don't have the time, or indeed the inclination, to have me around all the time. I feel invisible, like no-one would notice if I just upped sticks and left. -
Championship Squad Lists 19/20
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Reece Lyon is under contract till 2021. Can probably add in youngsters Ben Eardley, Alexander Easdale and Darren Hynes to the squad as you'd expect to see them in and around the first team squad given our budget. -
Bundesliga 2024/25

Been watching Hostein Kiel absolutely batter Augsburg in the DFB Pokal tonight, but some very wasteful, and at times downright shocking, finishing from Kiel has kept it to 0-0 against a dreadful Augsburg. Augsburg have just scored with about their first shot on target in the 85th minute. Can't believe how bad they've been, look like a team who very well might be going down. -
I honestly can't think of a worse pair of fullbacks in the last 15 years than Tumilty and McKeown. They are absolutely garbage. Massive credit to Tumilty for his part in the winner yesterday, but it was about the only positive thing that either full-back did all game. McKeown in particular didn't find a Morton player with a pass all game, and I lost count of the number of clearances he shanked into the stand in the second half. Now that Iredale is fit McKeown needs to be benched, and a replacement for Tumilty should be a priority.

Saw Fatherson at the Barrowlands on Friday night. They were really good, and clearly loving the home crowd. They've come a long way from when I saw them play the QMU 4 years ago.

The Falkirk FC Thread
Stevie Aitken's Love Child replied to Kris.'s topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Mind when a tribunal decide that Mark Stewart was worth a small fortune? Tribunals, for development compensation or otherwise, have been known to arrive at some very strange decisions from time to time. Like most, I'll be watching with interest.
