it was a direct quote

Loans to the lower leagues can still be done for a few more days, would expect Cancar to head to QoS at least

Strange one since he's only still 19 years old. Maybe Martindale sees our own academy as a more viable option.

The Wrong Car: Ange has previously spoken of the financial disparity WCW: Ange has never mentioned financial disparity, i've listened to every single word he's ever said...unless i've missed it TWC: Here's proof WCW: I WILL NOT READ YOUR PROOF TWC: Here's the quote then WCW: Ange has never mentioned financial disparity Welcome to a P&B thread involving one of the Glasgow 2

I should have said, it wasn't on here I was seeing it posted...some proper yer da stuff on facebook and twitter

I get that but the stuff I've seen posted by opposition fans makes it sound like we're only 4th BECAUSE of the plastic pitch

I was wondering if Martindale was saving Nouble for this game. I know it's a free hit and we don't expect to take anything from the game but Nouble is the kind of player that can give any defence a problem. We had matched Hearts twice already this season and Martindale maybe thought we could do it again without Nouble so gave him that extra few days to be ready for midweek.

I don't get the argument of the pitch giving us an advantage. If there was a huge advantage by having a plastic pitch then wouldn't Killie, Hamilton etc be doing better than they are? Also, why shouldn't Livi have an advantage? Every other side in the league has a bigger budget than Livi....that's an advantage. Celtic, Rangers, Hearts Hibs, Aberdeen, St Mirren etc all have international quality players...that's an advantage. Many other teams have better training and fitness facilities than Livi...that's an advantage. All teams have some sort of advantage at home as they are used to the surroundings etc.

Livi probably edged it over the whole game but hearts had the best chances. We win that with Nouble on the park though...he's got to be back soon

Usual time in to the royal rumble as there's always a few surprises. Was expecting the rock or stone cold or even a Cena but all we got was about 90 seconds of a barely able to move booker t and a no-show by Rey Mysterio....damp squib indeed. Best part was Logan Paul and Ricochet flying across the ring at each other

Came to say the exact same thing

See also Livvie, Livy or Livvy The Poclaimers?

It's pretty much guaranteed that the OF will fill 3 stands but not quite as nailed on that Hearts will. Opening the 3 stands would require a bigger outlay for stewarding/policing which would hit the club if Hearts only end up filling 2 stands. Releasing them gradually seems like the sensible thing to do. As for PATG, I'm not sure if there will be the option on the day. I'm sure there's restrictions around these bigger games

I'm sure it's a permanent move Wait....that wasn't a shark??

You can see the bond the respect have for Martindale and vice versa. It's well known he goes tonto during games but behind the scenes there's clearly a bond there. You've got some absolute giants in our team with guys like Nouble, Ayo, Guthrie, Shamal and now De Lucas who make it even funnier when this wee man is going off at them. There's clearly an understanding that it isn't personal and away from the football it's forgotten about. The length of time Martindale has been involved as a coach, assistant and now manager you'd expect a lot more former players lambasting him if there was any sort of an issue with his conduct but Panayiotou is the only one I've heard with anything negative to say. When we play against former players they're all very keen to catch Martindale before or after the game to speak with him which speaks volumes. Panayiotou gave the impression that he thought he was better than he showed on the park and was rightly told so. Martindale won't be the first or last manager to go tonto at his players, Sir Alex Ferguson was famous for it, we've seen Pep do it on the touchline, Phil Brown did it to the Hull players on the pitch.
