John Robertson, Davie Cooper, Peter Weir, Ralph Milne, Peter Weir as well as Crunchie and Nevin all had a lot less caps than James Forrest despite every single player I listed having far, far greater capability as players than Forrest. There's only 2 Peter Weirs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard was far higher in those days too mind you. Dumplings like Lawrence shankland wouldn't have got near the Scotland team back then. Grant Hanley's got 45 caps and that for me says it all about the standard of the Scotland sides these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Jaze off to Morton unsurprisingly with the imrie link to Martindale. At least that squashes one rumour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed something? I thought it was just Jai Quitongo and Grant Gillespie they'd signed today? *Just seen the story on the daily record website, disappointed we've not got him back as with a preseason behind him he'd have been a great addition.

The 1974 World Cup Squad were so unlucky and player for player possible the best we have put on the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 The term crunchy carrots is a pretty odd and funny one, but as far as sponsors go it seems alright. If it had been in some garish colours etc it'd be howling, but with it being all white it could well compliment the top as good as any sponsor. You also just named a stand after a bloke you called crunchy, he might even have liked carrots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Another potentially decent kit ruined straight off the bat by a ganting sponsor/ logo. Will reserve full judgement for seeing the strip in its entirely but not off to a good start Edited June 20, 2022 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
