That's the one. A beautiful through ball, after he'd danced through their midfield. The irony being we had to sell Harkins to pay our tax bill.

I was too. However when it was brought up to Kenny MacIntyre on Twitter he admitted that he hadn't even of heard the story, which is pretty poor from a journalist who should be doing his research. Calderwood is a fantasist, and his version of events now don't match up with what happened at the time. For example: on the Sportsound interview he claims that he went to Spain to await a job offer from Killie that eventually never came. He then apparently received a phone call from a journalist to say that we were to appoint Mixu the next day and that's the first he'd heard from the club. At the time though, he claimed that he turned the Killie job down because of financial constraints: "To be honest, it was more to do with the budget and Sandy offering to leave. To have a fighting chance of making the top half of the table, the budget wasn't enough. It would have made it very difficult to take the club to the next level." Mixu Paatelainen then led us to the top six, and Kenny Shiels won the cup the following year - both after more budget cuts. His win record at Killie was terrible too. When he took over we were in eleventh place, one point ahead of Falkirk. The results from Calderwood taking over until the end of the season were: P- 19, W- 5, D- 4, L- 11. The truth is we were saved by Falkirk's incompetence rather than anything Calderwood did. We finished the season eleventh place, two points ahead of Falkirk... We also scored three away goals during his whole time at Killie. Three. The fact he is lauded with saving Killie is laughable, considering almost any competent manager would have done the same. I'd even argue that Jefferies probably would have too had he stayed. His little anecdote about being at Fowler's do' and the Killie fans being all over him and egging him on to shout at the chairman is bollocks too. I was there, and he was going about telling anyone that would listen how "Emeranka widnae get in the team I was playing to build here" and other nonsense. He was a laughing stock for the entire night. I'm sure the County fans will confirm this too, but he supposedly only travelled up to Dingwall on Saturdays and his brother took most of the training, and that was as big a reason as any why he didn't stay. The O'Leary stuff alone should mean he never works again.

Love ya, ya trampy wee cow

Remarkably, Dundee going into admin is mentioned on there without anyone pointing out that clubs can't go into admin.

No you don't. You, unfortunately, have some children in your class with incredibly thick, right-wing, nasty c**t parents.

Best keeper in the league this year IMO.

The same one who sent a beautiful ball through for Damon Gray to score against the old Rangers... #EBTMEMORIES have probably clouded most of the usual suspect's recollection.

Right troops. I'm gonna stream the game tonight on periscope for those who can't make it (and indeed anyone who fancies watching). I'm just about on the halfway line in the Derry, so hopefully it's decent enough coverage. Check the Dundee v Dumbarton thread for updates.

Christ, this thread's going from Bard to verse.

Mixu's probably still giving her baths.

Just had a read through the first few "comments" on the story. Interesting. If we beat Dumbarton Harkins should come off the team bus at Ibrox dressed as The Pope.

F*cking loves the Thistle.

Obligatory Doolan love in Cerny is generally good at kicking but there's been a couple of occasions (today being one of them) where it's been a bit dodgy. Hadn't realized our clean sheet record was that good, great getting him signed on again.

Can anyone confirm if we're full or part time? Don't think it's been mentioned tonight Cheers

Davie Cooper must be the only world class player to end up at Motherwell.

Did just under 11 miles today, took me around 1:48. I did the Edinburgh half in 2:15 so I'm hoping that I can equal that. Felt OK during the run, might need to fuel a bit better on the day. I had a banana around 10km in, going to get some gels for the run. I had some toffee for my long run, I stuck it in my cheek like a hamster.

The Financial Conduct Authority has fined broker and wealth management firm WH Ireland £1.2m for not having the right systems in place to prevent market abuse. It has also been stopped from taking on new clients for 72 days. The FCA said the company had failed to act on previous advice and had not put controls in to prevent or detect insider trading.

Nory can use Google.

Most people? Is this the same Harkins who was Blackburn Rovers Reserves Captain? The same one that's played for Thistle, Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Dundee? Aye, most folk wouldn't have heard of him.

On the surface Calderwood has a reasonable record in Scotland but once you scratch the surface he really is a total buffoon. I can't speak for Dunfermline but as alluded to earlier, he totally alienated the youth system at the club. He also created an awful culture at Aberdeen with the team he put together, guys with a bit of talent but a horrible attitude to the club and the sport. The true level of what shitbags they were was evident when Calderwood (who let them away with murder) left and Mcghee came in and tried to instil a bit of professionalism. The football itself was an absolute eye sore, hoofed balls long to Lee Miller who would try and win a set piece. That was it. He won something like 4 of his last 19 games, alienated a lot of fans, pissed off the board, the cup exits to lower league teams (QoTS still hurts ) Dons fans got a lot of stick for wanting a guy out who had brought us so much 'success', especially with the car crash that was Mcghee but I think his career since has seen us vindicated that this guy wasn't fit to take the club forward.

Obviously takes after her old man. Same sized tits

As discussed earlier, and especially for our East coast friends

Let's not base it on population, let's base it on clubs. there are three times as many clubs in the LL catchment area than the HL, there should be more opportunity in the LL area than the HL area. The easy answer is a three region solution mirroring the Juniors, HL, LL (East), LL (West).

The funniest part was when he said Gavin Masterton offered him money to buy players 'he just put his hand in his pocket' nothing was any trouble. That's because he was dipping the bank's pockets you mahogany p***k.

I used to know a couple of late pubs round there but I can't find/remember them on G maps. This looks a good bet for a Tuesday night, closes at 1pm which will be later than most. Haven't been though. http://thebierkeller.com/manchester-bar/

We cancelled our reserve team when we were skint as well.

Had our last scan yesterday, 21 weeks now. Our wee girl is low risk for everything and is healthy and growing at the rate she should be =)

1-0 Thistle and Doolan FGS @ 25/1 1-0 Thistle and Lawless FGS @ 33/1 1-0 Thistle and Frans FGS @ 100/1 Thistle and Lawless Wincast @ 11/2 What could go wrong?

Still remember ShedGate quite well with Bomber coming down the touch line to try calm things down and being telt to f**k off. Class.

Would you like to see my non-black Slazenger trainers?

That Chris Graham?

It really is bonkers that a wee line like this kicks up such a storm. It's also funny how quite a few Rangers fans are desperate to say they've never heard of this guy. Not only are so many of them desperately ignorant about Scottish football, but they want to wear that ignorance as a badge. Weird.

Justeat. Chicken Madras.

He's nine. Not quite old enough to be interested in the lascivious beverages or women of easy virtue. I'll know he's a man when he stops laughing during sex scenes on the telly and becomes intensely silent.

You say expelled like they would be banished to playing non league football forever more which wouldn't be the case with a pyramid. Also the overwhelming majority on these boards are scunered with small leagues double round robin format , so with bigger leagues all round you have to decide how many tiers of national is too many? 32 does seem pretty small but then 48 seems a lot giving that many of the potential 3rd tier clubs would have very small away supports. As it stands many bigger and better run non league and junior teams don't want to burst a gut going thro all the promotions just to end up in league 2. If it is true that there are better teams with better players playing outside the spfl than those in league 2 then that is absolutely fucking mental in this day and age. You build strength in you're league from the bottom up so it makes sense to have the best players playing at as high a level as possible. As had been said before we have one of the most fragmented and disorganised footballing systems in Europe. For a footballing nation of 5 million our national side is fucking gash. Something is far wrong when countries like Slovakia and Slovenia are better sides than us. suppose the point I'm making is that whatever happens there will have to be a couple of losers in the process, but we can't halt progress because the likes of Montrose and east Stirlingshire don't want to lose their national status "because theyv always been there"

I've got out of bed at 5am on a Sunday to go to my young lasses first serious dance competition in Edinburgh, on Valentine's Day, which is also her 6th birthday... Just back through the door at quarter to ten and just sat down. 2 trophies though and a seriously proud dad - Mrs Deefiant may even have shed a tear or 2 - not me though....

I'm not a farmer.

Just bought my old man a pair of these for his Christmas after I caught him wearing a pair of Lonsdales. Fucking Lonsdales, the man runs his own IFA business and he's swanning about it Lonsdales. Idiot.
