  1. Prolific, like Speedie, Sharp and McClair were?
  2. In one of the games in the Euros I can't recall which one, there was a ball into the strikers around waist to chest height and you saw in the replay Adams closing his eyes and at the last second pulling out of headering it, Had that been Dykes he would have had the head in where it hurts and probably cleaned out defenders too, That for me personally was unforgivable,
  3. I'm surprised that McIntyre managed to contain himself his two favourite subjects to rattle on about VAR and Rangers
  4. I know it won't be popular but for me we are a fat better side with Dykes up front, he gets battered, bruised, knocked about and still comes back for more, he stays up front himself, often ploughing a lone furrow and never complains.
  5. I'm sorry I just don't want that coward Adams in the team, I will never forget the fear in his face when he chickened out of a header in one of the games in the euro 2020. He is up there with David Speedie, Graeme Sharp and Brian McClair in Scottish strikers
  6. Ofcourse they don't , do you really think clubs, the SPFL the SFA, uefa, FIFA have any regard for fans ? Do you still believe in the tooth fairy!? The above all are about only one thing ££££
  7. Having seen the disallowed goal, then yes it was correctly adjudged offside. It's how it got there is the problem. Players and coaches need to change how they play, the years of standing either just off or marginally on, that has been a tactic of attackers, deliberately dicing with a favourable decision or not, are now with VAR not going to work as it did, Attackers maybe got 40% if those decisions go for them before VAR now they will get almost zero. The game needs to change to suit the rules, Oh and while I'm here, ball. Very simple, if it hits you on the hand it's handball deliberatell or not simple no , interpretation needed, not accidental, or deliberate or un natural body position and all that , Any handball free kick to opposition. Clear, concise, easily understood
  8. From listening on the wireless, we were lucky to have held it at 0-0 for so long. So there is a case for saying Spain were the deserved winners. But we all know that keepers get so much protection it's laughable, VAR is something football spent decades demanding, and probably justifyably, but it's the usage of it, and way it seems to be down to interpretation and opinion that is the issue, And the lack of transparency and communication.
  9. She always looks like a dour quine. Mind you she is married to that jug eared gype stv sports news presenter Harvey
  10. Heres a stat, Eric Black, Billy Stark and Frank McDougall. Between them half dozen league titles, over half dozen Scottish cup winners medals, goals in European competition final, scoring in every cup final one of them played in, one the only midfielder since 1975 to score 100 or mor top division league goals, And yet between they don't even merit 45 minutes of appearances for Thier country That is a disgrace, and I'd like to hear the reason for it
  11. Hi folks , can I suggest an article on the late Frank McDougall, I think he merits a piece, His goalscoring record is astounding, I'd like to find out from sir Alex Ferguson or Roxburgh why he was never capped. I think there is a story to be told
  12. Utter travesty that his career ended too soon, and without playing for his country,
  13. Benromach is up there as one if my favourites along with Tamnavulin, now that is a bargain if any of the editions are the 20- 25 Mark in the shops as they often are
  14. Never been a fan of this either, it's from the distillery closest to my home village, and when the cooperage I was serving my time with closed, two years into my apprenticeship they tried to get me in there to no avail.
  15. 1- Anne McAlpine. 2- Amy Irons 3 - Laura Miller 4- Laura MacIver 5- Sarah McMullan
  16. Missed out on tickets to OMD at Glasgow next March Im attending an event the night after and would love to have made it a two day trip, gutted as I don't know if I will see them again, Not really that fair, the whole of Scotland gets just two dates, and nothing north of central belt, Despite teca being one of the biggest 5 venues in Europe
  17. Craig Brown always did this from kick off hoof it into the opposition full back area, , making them knock it out for a throw deep in Thier half or a corner, meaning you immediately pin them in Thier own half .I recall Billy Dodds saying that Brow. Told them to do this in games,
  18. Yep, we were well beaten by a good side, If Robertson had cleared the ball instead of trying to control it then we might've gone in 1-0 still in game,
  19. Jock Brown was a great commentator. Along with David Begg and Alistair Alexander.
