I think everyone needs to remember that Sky Sports regularly compares players using the stats from Football Manager.  

Believe it or not the Football Manager data is also used in some scouting systems used by clubs

The funny thing is they had another graphic in that article which displays the results of old firm games over the years pretty well. The graph, even apart from being drawn on paint and making no sense.. doesn't even roughly match up with the other graphic.

That's quite a good way of showing it, apart from how close the orange is to the green.  Unless they're suggesting draws are some kind of protestant conspiracy, not sure why they choose that colour.

Clearly they got their usual stats guy to knock that up, let him go for lunch, and told the work experience kid to do something similar.

While it's at the mercy of the research behind it being good, it's nowhere near as bad as that graph.  At least the stats from the game have some relative basis in reality.

It true BBC WATP mode, ex-Rangers player Ugo Ehiogu died but Burnley midfielder Joey Barton is banned for 18 months for gambling. Shouldn't be too long before the ex-Ger Barton is on Open All Mics though.

Assuming you meant Ugo, he'll be a damned sight more articulate than BFDJ or Kris Boyd.

Follow on article from boydy was pathetic weegie pish he's a rangers man blah blah blah

 

I worked with a very close relative of Kenny McLean's who was a die hard Rangers fan but can't remember if Kenny was the same (cool story bro). What he did say though is that Scott Brown is an absolute w****r on the pitch.

I'm surprised the prospect of the first married couple to play professional football for the same team hasn't attracted more media attention tbh.

Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is keen on Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean, although the 25-year-old has a year to run on his Pittodrie contract. (Sun)

Desperation at Snake Mountain set to Level5

It's like a jakey tramp saying he is keen on buying one of Stewart milnes more expensive houses.
