Robert Wilson was, out of all the deadwood at Berwick last season, the closest to being decent enough to be in this League. Yes, he too was suspect at best sometimes, but our team (and Johnny Harvey) was godawful and did him no favours. Thus, I've no doubt he will be of use to you guys; if anything, he has plenty of experience with the predicament you are in.

The Arbroath Thread
DutchBorderer replied to Lichtie78's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
What's the latest on Robert Wilson? Far as I can tell he's played only one match for Arbroath all season. Way off first team level? -
Awkward - Utrecht's shirt is 69,99 EUR, Peterborough's is 44,99 GBP. When accounting for current exchange rates, that means the former is 15,35 GBP more expensive than the latter. Shirts have always been more expensive in continental Europe, but this is taking the piss honestly; same shirt, same simplified white crests, same white text for sponsors.

The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread
DutchBorderer replied to djchapsticks's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I'll be fair; not sure if Verheydt would have strengthened your squad. He is prolific in the Netherlands because of his physique making up for his general lack of finesse and technique in a league where play is anything but physical. He would have a much tougher time in Scotland because his physical style of play isn't an asset as much as it is expected, revealing his faults in other areas. This is exactly why he got exposed at Crawley and why I imagine he'd fail to impress at St Mirren. And I haven't even gotten into the fact the team he plays in needs to play a possession-based game in order for him to excel. So yeah, you might've been done dirty by the agent, but this is probably the best outcome for both St Mirren and Verheydt. -
Mind, the shirt is shown on the club's online shop via a banner, but clicking it just links you back to the home page; it isn't listed elsewhere and most certainly isn't up for pre-order. All signs pointing to this being a very complicated but entirely deliberate wind-up - one which is very succesful I might add, because Paddy Power have already gotten a fair bit of exposure from this.

The Great Big Kilmarnock Thread
DutchBorderer replied to Quitongo's Left Peg's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
El Makrini is a decent player, should be able to handle the Scottish game despite it being much more physical than the Dutch league. Was playing below his level last year because Roda JC had a stinker of a season and interest in him was low. Don't know Killie's current midfield all that well but I reckon he should be a useful signing. -
Kelty to go up (unless they are very unlucky with which L2 team they meet) - I don't see Brora or Buckie or whomever best them. Berwick to finish outside the top 3 (Kelty, EK, and at least one other team will pip us).

I heard you say something about a sponsor ruining perfectly good shirts? Lille's new home shirt has a nice big B across its main feature - New Balance and the club must know it looks shite, because they've done their best to pose the players in such a way that it's covered up; Away (yellow) and third (white) spoilered for ease of browsing;

The needless asymmetry on the Man City away top irks me, the detailing makes it look like a gender reveal baby party in a construction site. Do wonder if the purple will persist on the home shirt or whether it's a one season thing. Anyway, Man. Bet. X. Getafe, who narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification in Spain last season (blue = home);

Swansea have now been sponsored by four different betting sponsors across four season; the current partners, Yobet, don't even have a working UK site (but then they are Chinese anyway). Subtle camo pattern embossed on the home, the back of the away shirt is plain. Third kit will be needed considering WBA continue to ply their trade in the Championship;
