At this point, isn't it only "alleged"? -

or just schedule them to play 4 glasgow derbies in the first 4 games of the season....no chance of a title decider then -

I don't remember Stephen Robinson taking a step back when there was criminal charges against him at Motherwell -
Swinging at Nathan Paterson again? As boring as he was, Delle Alli made a good point saying the Chelsea players weren't falling out with each other to take the pressure penalty against Man United to equalise in the last minutes

Come on man, where was the trigger warning for mentions of the mad Italian Wasn't that already answered in the press? -
Never played the games, purely because I've never been able to get into first person games, but I've always been interested in the story/lore so I was delighted to see this was going to be made. About half way through the season and it's brilliant fun

I'd heard a rumour about a physical altercation between Martindale and one of the young players...assumed there was nothing in it as I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere else, but since then there's been no sign of Ledingham, Stenhouse (out on loan now) or Sharp -
I'd heard he had signed with Motherwell

Hope next season all the pitches are like Dundee's Aye, maybe (MAYBE) the goal difference might not be as bad....saying that...he's rarely impressed when he has had the chance this season. Not combative enough

He did post a really interesting opinion on the last dinner party -

Players have been moving between teams all season. There doesn't appear to be a transfer window at that level -
Never noticed how much of a diving, moaning faced b*****d that Bellingham is

Just seen the high boot on Yengi there...how has that not been punished at all? He kicks him square in the eye -
Livingston v Aberdeen - 06/04/24
Cptn Hooch replied to LiviLion's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Is that the same pitch that Celtic complained was "too sticky" and that the ball didn't move too well on it? Hmmm methinks nobody knows why they don't like the artificial surface -

I remember, a number of years ago, Jim White on talk sport trying to talk up Scottish football to someone like Joey Barton. White used the OF derby, Edinburgh derby, the European success in the 60s, 70s and 80s as well as underdog stories like Livi (this was shortly after Dolly Menga v rangers). Barton challenged him and asked him if he knew where Livingston was. Proud Scotsman, football journalist, Mr transfer window and visitor to Almondvale on numerous occasions, Jim White, confidently replied..."either just south of Aberdeen or near Perth" -
I think the rise back to the Premiership came too early for us. Perhaps a longer period of stability in the championship would have allowed us to organically grow our core support. Out of nowhere we were promoted to the Premiership and didn't have the infrastructure in place at the time. Our fans had only recently seen us relegated to League 1 and had the rumours of going part time floating around. Hopefully we can make the proverbial lemonade out of our impending return to the Championship.

I got the impression after talking to him that he'd be able to do the same whichever side I said -

This happened to me in a kebab shop in Kent. When I replied Livingston, the guy hit out with some facts and half a dozen names of current (at the time) players as well as legends like Bingo and Stuart Lovell....I was genuinely dumbstruck at his knowledge -
They were with a touring company who arrange trips to SPFL games, we've had plenty in the past but there had apparently been a breakdown in communication between the customer and the touring company as to which end they'd be sitting in. The family, apparently, believed they were sitting in the celtic end. The club have made a complaint to the touring company. My biggest issue with it all is allowing the display. I would rather we weren't outnumbered at home but totally understand why we do it.

Livi v Celtic (Kieran Airns RIP)
Cptn Hooch replied to Dav nan Gael's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The very reason I started following Livi. My dad was brought up supporting rangers but didn't want me involved with all the bile that goes with them...took me to Livi instead and the rest, as they say, is history -

He looked different gravy in his first few appearances and I was genuinely excited we had managed to get him on the books. Even Callum Carson mentioned that Livi's hopes for the season could rest on keeping Devlin fit....then he got injured against County (on one of those dangerous grass pitches no less) and he's never been the same since. Thoroughly likeable guy and I'm gutted it hasn't really worked out for him -

I've spoken to Mikey a few times and every time he comes across as an absolute gentleman who can't do enough for fans but on the flip side, he's got an incredibly dour demeanor. On the flipside, you have a guy like Jason Holt who talks exactly as you'd expect a club captain to talk. -

I wonder how much money is required to run the women's team. My understanding is the players are not professional and are not paid, hence the high turnover of players. The coaching staff would be paid, I'd assume. The women's teams were initially created by absorbing an already established women's football club so there may already be funding from the original club. It would be a horrible shame for the women's team to be punished for the failings of the men's team, especially with how well the women are doing. I'd thoroughly recommend going along and watching them on a Sunday. Totally different atmosphere and the players are playing for the love of the game. They are also very welcoming with the players making an extra effort with fans, especially youngsters. Noticed the last few times I've been down there's a small group of young lads who sing songs and even have a drum, on occasion, in an attempt to build a bit of atmosphere which is fantastic to see. -

That still doesn't make for great reading for Tony Macaroni. Good decision by the club if true as keeping them on would potentially run the risk of being left high and dry midseason
