Seen someone who was doing a study on it talking on Sky Sports news recently. Not when they were booted up the pitch and dropping from a great height onto your napper they weren't, you felt your head sink into your shoulders.

Theatom Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Every Sports summary on BBC Scotland this morning spoke about Livingston getting a draw agaianst a “..makeshift Celtic side” and failed to suggest that the makeshift side had a market value of 20 or 30 times that of Livi. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still hear the PYOOIIIIINNG as one of them leathered (no pun intended) off some poor bugger. I played in goals in those days. It was before goalie gloves were used. My hands still have a pebble dash effect from catching (occasionally) those bloody things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced they employ people who don't really follow football to write this stuff. Somebody has helped them with (some of the) mistake(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fluorescent green indoor footballs were much more nicer to be hit with. The ones that looked like big tennis balls. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The SPFL Twitter account could have shown highlights from one of the teams still in the league cup but what would be the point in that? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly incredible. That would be bad enough coming from a moronic, disappointed sponsor or bookie. But for the actual SPFL to do that is disgusting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 First the fixture is the wrong way around (Not that big a point ) They pick a Hibs player who has not been part of the team for most of this season and make him massive, but then they have him in last years kit. Stevie May looks like an after thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I write stuff for the SPFL site every week, and have previously done previews and things like that for the cup semis so I have a bit of insider knowledge of how they prepare for these big games.From what I gather they have a bunch of videos from cup semi-finals which they spread through the week, and they don't want to use the best stuff up on the Monday. Instead they start off with their generic cup semi final content and save the more club-specific stuff until closer to the actual games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
