  1. 154 players have started a match in the Scottish Premiership so far this season - 57 Scots and 97 non Scots. That's a disgrace.
  2. Oh and one other thing. Curtis Main is on this 3rd Scottish Premiership club. Think about how something like that could happen.
  3. The first step is acceptance. We need to realise the standard of the Scottish Premiership, outside the Top 2 of course, is absolutely desperately bad. Until we do that there will be no progress. I'm getting on a bit, I started going to matches in 1982 but this isn't some senile 'It was better in my day' reminiscence in the autumn of life. Not only was it better, it was so much better it's an absolute tragedy that the game has been allowed to plummet to todays levels. What's the answer? Well that's a complex issue but surely better coaching and basic technique on the ball would be a start? I watch Premiership football and players can't even hold a line most of the time. They have no positional awareness on and off the ball. Fundamental skills like crossing and passing are poor. Players that make off the ball runs are almost like genius level gods in Scottish football. I watched Match of the Day for the first time in a couple of seasons last week and the thing that really stood out for me was how hard virtually every player worked off the ball. Forget about the technique aspect of football, our players are just fucking lazy as well. Most of the guys in our league are plodders seeing out time like they were photocopying in an office. So maybe the first step is to have professional pride.
  4. Bodo/Glimt got pumped in the Faroes Isles last round and only just scrapped through on aggregate. So maybe that result wasn't such a big surprise. Don't think they are doing great in the league either.
  5. This picture appeared in the BBC article on Woolery leaving for Turkey. It was taken last season at Ibrox. I literally had no idea who the guy in the middle of the picture was until I looked up the team that day.
  6. Has Leanne Crichton ever said anything that wasn't absolutely bleeding obvious? She's like a machine that fills dead air with stock phrases.
  7. Dundee Utd - Best kit for ages. Their colours best suit simple designs. Don't mind the Macron symbols down the sleeves. The sponsor is a bit shit but aren't they mostly? St. Johnstone - Looks like something a little girl would were as a mermaid costume. Awful. St. Mirren - Looks more like a bathrobe than a football kit. Don't hate it but I'm not as sold on it as some. It's basically an all black kit which I'm never that keen on. I actually prefer their home kit this season.
  8. Peter Grant was a water carrier as a player, a complete failure as a manager and is a total dolt as a radio pundit. Get him to f**k.
  9. Pre long hair, brown acid and dayglo tie dyes there was a simpler time when the dog was in the kennel, the wife was in the kitchen and the bourbon was in your cornflakes.
  10. He constantly asked people a question and then when they started to answer continued to talk over them. Chic missing the penalty was hilarious but the fact that he fooled the whole nation by just making up a competition rule is up there with Orston Wells 'War of the Worlds'.
  11. Nothing is more 1968 than this.
  12. It annoys me when a club launches a new kit and they don't even show the whole thing.
  13. Pumas Tabasco Good team......great recipe.
  14. Surely giant seagull hats are against the spirit of the game? Wanted to take in a league cup match at some point this week but with the train situation my choices were limited to matches I can walk home from. Take it it'll be Hamilton vs Stranraer then!
  15. Are Accies keeping last seasons kits? Noticed they are still full price on the club shop.
  16. I wouldn't say I love it but it's not bad. And the away kit will be easy to draw!
  17. Ross County, Livingston and St Johnstone apparently playing in their pants and socks at the weekend.
  18. PM Priti Patel will have a live asylum seeker in a gibbet installed in the No. 10 office to poke with a hot poker while she snacks on live budgerigars.
  19. The strongest part of Liam Donnelly's game is he's injured most of the time.
  20. Horses can't vomit, can sleep standing up and have the largest eyeball of any land mammal. They also prefer country & western and classical music over jazz or rock. I thought that last fact might have been someone tampering with Wikipedia but I've checked it out and apparently it's true....
  21. They wore it 4 times last season. Oct 21 - Rangers, Apr 22 - St Mirren, Livingston, May 22 - Dundee. For least worn kits last season look to Aberdeen who wore their new all blue away kit once (against Dundee Utd), while using the previous seasons white away kit twice. Likewise Celtic had to wear the previous seasons away kit twice due to their new all green away kit clashing with Hibs. The new all green kit was only worn once domestically but they did wear it more often in Europe. At the other end of the scale St. Mirren wore their all red away kit in 18 out of 38 league matches last season.
  22. The best goalkeeper I've seen in my 40 years of watching Scottish football. He played for Motherwell of course but my main memory of him was as a Rangers goalkeeper making an unbelievable save from a Owen Coyle header. One of those ones where you are already celebrating the goal and then you are like.....WTF!!!!
