You’d have thought so, wouldn’t you?
I think I read somewhere here that the Home Nations have as part of their agreement that they won't select a player for a period (2 or 3 years?) if he has previously been capped by another home nation, is this correct? Could it be that Anderson/his agent were not fully aware of this? Otherwise the about turn seems very strange (assuming Scott Burns is right and he generally is).
In any case though I think it's poor to frame the withdrawal this way. The guy could have handled it better (if it is even true) but he's a young guy and shite like this isn't going to help if he still does require convincing. Also means if he does return that no doubt some of the usual roasters will be on his back.

I wouldn’t be overly surprised if we switched to a back 4 with Armstrong, McTominay and McGinn in a 3 between McGregor/Gilmour and the striker.
I would be absolutely stunned.

I don't think Chelsea have a buy back option in the deal.

Is Brian Graham the greatest human being on the face of the earth? Not for me to say, but yes.

A note of fact before I get a gif of Abe Simpson walking in and out of the burlesque joint, Doolin is un proven. This will be his first real year.

I'd like to see Gauld get a shot. Let's be honest, nobody here watches MLS with any regularity, but Gauld is clearly enjoying his football again. He was the most exciting teenage prospect in the last 30 years probably in Scottish football, I think it would be a shame for his career to wane out without seeing whether he could offer us something at international level. Looks like the France friendly won't fit in nicely with the MLS Season though. Are there many European players at other nations that are getting regular call ups? Not many from the list here jumping out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_MLS_players

7 hours ago, Its not only a game said:
Truly don’t have digs at Doolan- a really good guy just out of his depth- will fail and lets revisit this post in 3 months.
For me- whether -EF( my club- the perfect example of failure) or others ,amazed at the stupidity of those involved in running football clubs
. To appoint Doolan ( fans favourite)- fan ownership -imo- is doomed / no money and fan elected idiots involved in running the club
of course everyone relates to Hearts- 3rd biggest club in Scotland. But only survives because of James Anderson’s donations to the club( biggest donator / investor in history of Scotland)- Thistle- you will destroy a legend that is so out of his depth a blind man can see…
Anyway - no agenda- EF fan- so expert is witnessing idiots- but only opinion-.

Absolutely , and it looks like the Spanish FA have the same impression , and opinion.
That would be the Spanish FA run by Rubailes yes?

Arteta does seem to be quite militant about "culture" or whatever, Balogun seems to be completely frozen out despite his only competition being Eddie Nketiah.

Would be willing to bet this lot get zero Scotland caps betweent them.

Hopefully going to be rectified now...

Another car crash thread. At the risk of becoming involved, is the benefit of staying at Liverpool over the break not fairly limited if most of their players are on international duty? I'd imagine any first team players not on international duty would be doing relatively light training too.

Would be a real disappointment (but not unexpected) if Lyon doesn't start. Deserves a chance.

Presumably a more competent right back replacement than Williams too.

. Straw clutching here, if Milne hadn’t deflected the shot for their 1st, I am not sure it was going in.
It was going miles wide.

I didn't know quite what to make of that. It didn't help that I was directly behind it so difficult to judge the angles, but Hamilton obviously won the header cleanly before Williams (if I remember rightly) crashed into him. The kind of incident that, in the centre circle, the ref gives as a freekick without even thinking.
Yeah Williams was miles away from the ball, it was dangerous and obvious contact to the head. I suppose the only counter argument is that he got his header away unimpeded and you see similar with sliding challenges after a player has shot but was a penalty for me.

That was a great game, despite being 2 down - kudos for Thistle exploiting Dick being off the pitch after a head knock for the second - we created chances.
To be fair that was as close as Dick got to Lawless all game.
2-2 probably fair in the end given chances created but we should have had that in the bag. Thought the challenge on Hamilton was a clear penalty, you just don't often see such a late clash of heads.
Causes for optimism from our point of view, but we clearly need another winger and cover at right back and centre back. Doolan hopefully learned from the change of shape, Dowds and Adeboye should never be on the pitch together defending a lead.

Unless Mulgrew was willing to come in on absolute buttons I'd not be keen on it. Assume he doesn't have any coaching pedigree to speak of? Would prefer Doolan had someone with a bit of experience behind him. What's Sandy Stewart up to these days?

Ultimately Britton was an employee of the club and any 'support' of Low has to be seen from that perspective. I'm sure he made his mistakes in his time at the club but he was there through some pretty difficult times to be running a football club and has done a pretty decent job of ensuring the managers have been supported in getting a decent team on the park. I'd be interested to know what his major failings are considered to be (Low association aside).

Seems pretty reasonable to be honest and given some of the money that's being thrown around on players think it makes sense to insist that some of that is spent on bringing grounds up to adequate standards.

Oh the app rings a bell! That launched under J. Low and covid? think that's why ive not bothered with it if so, will have a look on my phone for it to see if i can set one up that way and scan through on my phone
Mine appeared on the app almost immediately, physical ticket took 2 weeks.
