  1. Actually we did play like that for the 10 or so games Wotherspoon played for us and the results mirrored that.
  2. The parallels of us and the Falkirk team that went down in 2019 are startling. I used to watch their highlights that season and they played exactly the same way we do now. Very lateral/sideways and backwards. No dynamism, no short and sharp 1-2s, no balls round the corner, no one taking their man on - committing and isolating them, a tempo played at -14 mph and absolutely zero place in the squad. Every other team in the league, bar probably Arbroath, plays with all of the above. it's telling that the two teams that don't play that way are going to finish in the bottom two. Ferguson needs to go. He's useless.
  3. He's been in the Highland League thread for what seems like a decade.
  4. i dunno, there's been loads of goals given this season where someone from the attacking team has been both clearly offside and clearly interfering with play.
  5. He's very much in the Lampard role those days, in the sense of arriving late in the box for the cut back/2nd ball. Hopefully he can fill the same role for Scotland.
  6. I assume Scott will join his dad on the board at Brora. But this was a surprising announcement to say the least.
  7. Have Liverpool ever had depth under Klopp? That spell of 2/3 years where they won the CL and the Barclays, after having got to the 2018 CL final too, they seemed to be able to play the same 11 every game. Their bench always had a few youngsters on it, along with a few jobbers who immediately weakened the team when they came on. The caveat being they had usually won the game comfortably by that point so these players coming on didn't really affect the result. I'm talking your Sturridge's, your Origi's. your Lallana's. I may be wildly misremembering of course, but I recall it was something I noticed at the time. You could basically name their starting line up before it was announced.
  8. He’s one of their most important players. Him and Garnacho are the reason they’re still clinging onto a European place.
  9. This is great cup Barclays.
  10. I’ve watched 3 of the 4 QFs this weekend and they’ve all been entertaining (City v Newcastle didn’t interest me whatsoever). There’s usually 1 out of the 4 that isn’t an utter bore fest if you’re lucky but ‘The Magic Of The FA Cup’ is truly spellbinding this weekend.
  11. Let me tell you something Mean Gene. That’s an extraordinary accusation and that narrative just doesn’t work for me, brother.
  12. Games getting called off very close to kick off time or getting called off when a lot of fans will be travelling from afar, is undoubtedly one of the greatest things in this sport.
  13. I could understand if he dad a daughter, Jane. I could worship a Jane. Worshipping a guy is a little gay don’t you think?
  14. Onto footballing matters and I was told yesterday by a mate that one of the youth players he knows was playing in the bounce game against Clach the other day and Ferguson’s son was the worst player on the park. Ferguson was sat in the stand telling Gardiner all game how good his son is technically. So that sounds really promising for when he signs.
  15. It was absolutely the best time to bring it up. A fan of a club who would undoubtedly be in the Championship at best without getting their eye watering debt written off by their single point of failure needed reminding of that. The different way both clubs deal with debt has nothing to do with my reply to him. That seems fairly obviously I would’ve thought. It was quite clearly a ‘show us your medals/achievements’ reply.
  16. It’s telling that United’s two worst performers tonight, Tillson and Grieve, are on loan from Premiership clubs.
  17. United, playing with wingers all season, are top of the league. McPake - here guys, here me out right…..
