JD and associates Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 11 hours ago, LogieLivi said: 1. Derek Adams - just a total p***k and probable Tory. 2. Douglas Ross - The Tories Tory. 3. Phillipe Clement - for getting his excuses in early about the pitch against Dumbarton. And the fact his name has reduced the pundits to trying to pronounce his name "correctly" with Kenny Miller going full - "fill ee pay". 4. Kenny Miller - great player but my word, a terrible pundit with nothing worth saying about anyone than The Rangers. 5. Pat Bonner - a worse pundit on BBC Radio? I don't think so. Refers to Celtic as "we" on the radio. 6. Whoever is Hibs manager this week - they have had some right bellends in recent times so the current one falls immediately into 6th place. 7. Steven Naismith - is he manager? Is he coach? Is he the janitor? No one knows and tbh, I don't think he does either. Talks a load of shite too. 8. Brendan Rodgers - overrated manager and boring to listen to. Postecoglu at least had some personality. 9. Martin Boyle - human submarine. Has a face I could skelp for a month. The p***ks p***k. 10. Lawrence Shankland - treated like the second coming. Just sick of reading about him at this stage tbh. Honourable mentions as they don't currently work within Scottish football. Steven Presley - broon shoes, walks like a w****r, talks like a w****r, Is a massive w****r. Jack Ross. The worst of them all. Gets sacked from Hearts for texting numerous players wives. Goes to Alloa, gets a big head. And ever since literally applies for every single job going. Even applying for a job in England 3 days after joining Dundee United. he's a massive bellend with zero management skills. Why are you so angry all the time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 On 21/01/2024 at 15:28, PauloPerth said: Na, disagree on that one. Everyone should go out of their way to call it that. We had our own brand the ‘Premier League’ but let the English league take it. We then had the SPL which was a great identity. You think of all the leagues in Europe you can name and they have a clear brand identity; the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, Superliga, Eredivisie etc that they stick with. We should have kept the SPL title when the SPFL came into being in 2013. I can’t help noticing that the league down south is increasingly referring to itself as the EPL these days. The fact that loads of supporters still refer to it as the SPL shows how strong a brand name it was. "Branding". What a load of w**k. As is, SPL should be considered the most sullied brand around. Its demise was incredibly welcome. It staggers me that so many posters on here don't recognise this. It wasn't just a snappy title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Oh, oh, I forgot: 11. Anyone who thinks 'expected goals' is a thing. If you've ever said, or thought about, 'xG', then f**k you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people can’t really take to vloggers and YouTubers at matches, but I do feel he is a bit of an exception and uses his platform to promote the Scottish game at various levels rather than make it all about himself like others do. He seems to be doing it in more of an official capacity now too. I watched one of his recent features on the Dundee Utd v Raith game and thought it was excellent. Really good exposure to our game. Long as he stays away from any Hibs games in the future I'm happy, pretty sure the only Hibs game he's been to where we haven't lost was the game at McDiarmid where Doidge scored a hat-trick a few seasons back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a better name. You can over-think these things sometimes. Speaks volumes that this many years after the change, you still need to say to folk regularly that it's not called the SPL any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim ( baldy c**t ) McLean 3. Paul ( cheat cheat cheat ) Hegarty 4. David ( the beast ) Goodwillie 5. Groundsman ( beast ) 6. Dabs media team when they released a statement saying Dundee are pretending that Cifti had bit our player 7. Cifti ( weirdo biting mink ) 8. SPL ( corrupt to the core ) when they forced Dundee to play 3 times at the dump in the same season ( would never have the balls to do it to Celtic or Rangers 9. Bob ( cheating Dab c**t) Valentine 10.

I think you're right, but just because your new manager is shite, doesn't mean you shouldn't have sacked the old one. (Also, the median Scottish football fan is an Old Firm weirdo who's not been to a game in over a decade, so I think it speaks volumes about them, too.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 So Douglas Ross gets voted into 1st place, largely on account of being a prominent Tory. That's exactly as it should be. His political stance alone, ensures that he's a very worthy winner. However, on the same thread we get a lament over the disappearance of the SPL branding. Said lament gets showered In greenies. I'm struggling to think of anything more Tory than that. Even if we ignore the inherent embarrassment of adults engaging with the snappiness of a brand name, we have to surely look at the SPL itself. It was set up, and then operated, entirely to protect, enhance and indeed enshrine the advantages of the haves over have-nots. Half the people on here have no idea of what they believe in and why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPL wasn't some shady, mysterious, secret James Bond-baddie organisation located in a volcano. It was the clubs. The same (broadly speaking) clubs in the top flight today. Going by your logic, we should just shut down all the clubs and re-open them with new, untainted brands. You're seeing things that aren't there. SPL is a better name. It's a more recognised name. It's a still-used name. You can think it's a better name without being a Tory. I'm not sure why you think the two things go hand in hand.

I'm not sure why you think the two things go hand in hand. It's because they're intrinsically linked. The SPL embodied the politics of economic greed. The nature of the body cannot be divorced from its name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
