  1. Yup, though that applies for any attraction/museum worth seeing really, particularly in Rome/Italy.
  2. If you don't go to Galleria Borghese, you're doing it wrong.
  3. Can we please be clear that it will take £7/8m for Shankland to move in January? If nobody is willing to pay that or believe it's overpriced, then that's fine, but his goals will fire us to the ~£5m that third place brings in, and then there's the additional value of the player himself on top of that. It's fairly simple stuff.
  4. Shankland 'adores' Rangers. Source: trust me, bro. That's nice. It's unfortunate Rangers are unable to afford him. Only if bigger clubs than Rangers from the English Championship cough up, or the Saudis. It certainly won't be Ibrox. Sad to see Dundee fans shilling for Glasgow Rangers. If he decides to down tools he can kiss goodbye to seeing Germany in the summer. Won't happen. Hopefully we do let his contract run down and he decides to sign another three-year deal when the time comes. So long as you understand that Shankland won't be joining Rangers next month, that's fine. Perhaps you could pass it on to the rest of the dumplings in your support. Why is the majority of your fan base chugging themselves silly thinking it's in the bag for this third rate Kris Boyd? Are you all just really thick?
  5. If nobody is going to pay that, it's fine by me as it means he won't be going anywhere in January. He is the difference between us getting European riches and not, which obviously has to be taken into account regarding his overall valuation. His value will likely come down a bit in the summer unless he has a stormer at the Euros, but even then it will still take £3/4m to land his signature. I imagine this is what will probably happen, unless come the summer Rangers end up looking elsewhere.
  6. He won't be sold in January unless it's for ridiculous money, and anything equivalent or below what we'll make for finishing third doesn't fall into that category. Ideal scenario is he injures himself for a few months while scoring the winner in the Euros final, which causes other clubs to look elsewhere, before he then signs a new five-year bumper deal with Hertz.
  7. I said closer to £10m. Plenty folk, whether at the wind-up or not, reckon £2/3m and he'll be away. Pure fantasy. Rangers would probably get him for £7/8m, but they won't/can't pay that.
  8. Rangers fans need to get it through their cretinous skulls that unless they cough up closer to £10m, Shankland won't be going anywhere in January. Alas, they are a bunch of utter tramps, so they won't. This ain't ~2010 where Hearts are toiling for cash and urgently need to sell. We have no reason to, and he is clearly happy enough at present. The board also know they are under pressure after the recent AGM and won't entertain anything other than silly money. Nor can he afford to down tools and/or chuck the toys out the pram to try and force a move if he hopes to be on the plane to Germany, let alone push to start as Scotland's number nine in the summer. The ball is firmly in Heart of Midlothian's court. Unlucky.
  9. Valid concerns, as perhaps would be a loss of physicality in midfield. With us already qualified, however, the upcoming matches next month and/or other games we will play pre-tournament would be an opportune time to develop a 'plan B'. McTominay's goal for Man United tonight was everything you would want from a number nine. Let's not forget it's not an alien position for him: he often played as a striker in his youth. Ideally, someone will have a storming second half of the season and play themselves right into contention (I'm looking at you, Ross Stewart).
  10. Starting XI: Gunn Hickey Porteous Hendry Tierney Robertson Gilmour Ferguson McGregor McGinn McTominay
  11. I'd like to see us stick McSauce up top in these games, with Ferguson coming in from the start. Dykes has done a solid for Scotland, but we shouldn't be sentimental here (i.e. sticking with Marshall instead of Gordon at the last tournament). Adams missed a sitter which should have got us a point in Spain. McTominay has shown himself to be a fucking goal machine, on top of the physical attributes he provides. I really hope this is something we consider. Frankly, it's also just getting increasingly harder to justify Ferguson not starting matches. We have shoehorned Robertson and Tierney into an excellent system that works for us. I believe doing similar in this regard would strengthen us further.
  12. Torn between being disappointed that Scottish independence is now never going to happen for at least a generation, but also being delighted at everything falling in on so many snakes and lickspittles. Moving abroad has never looked so appealing, imo.
  13. Right, we are fucking brilliant and I am an absolute cretin (never in doubt, etc etc). See you all in Germany next summer.
  14. We are regressing as our main men and the dour one's favourites don't get as much game time at their clubs in the EPL. It will be third place and the play-offs again for us. Haaland would have bagged about eight against these chumps in the first half, probably all assisted by Odegaard.
  15. If you want to see good public transport, head to Switzerland. Tbf, if you want to see good anything, head to Switzerland.
  16. Monkey Tennis aimlessly lashing out all over the shop. Sad to see.
  17. He genuinely looks like Heinrich Himmler. Extremely unfortunate looking chap.
  18. Someone isn't taking the self-destruction of the SNP well. Sad to see.
  19. It's pretty normal to ridicule covid psychos and the simps who pandered to them, tbf.
  20. The SNP are absolutely in the gutter, aren't they? Finished party. It's going to be a slow motion car crash watching certain folk on here come to terms with it.
