D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I like old football photos and I found a nice picture for you lads on twitter. The team crossing Gorgie Road for a quick pint and a woodbine at half time. Or whatever they used to do back then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve already jogged past the Tynie Arms by that point so unless heading up to Diggers or Ardmillan Hotel (if it existed) then maybe they were heading up to train at Harrison Park ?

DC92 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 18 hours ago, Londonwell said: Is this some sort of Moneyball' experiment that Levein is going for? I'm struggling to see what the f**k else he thinks he's doing. Doing it for the bantz? Good laugh and all that... I'm almost certain this is it. They said they were starting to use stats to scout players last summer and Levein has made reference to e.g. Garuccio's crossing percentages. I believe Grzelak was signed on the basis of having a high dribbling percentage, which says it all about Levein and Murray's ability to interpret stats in a remotely useful way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably got dribbling and drooling mixed up. Easily done, I suppose. The jammy wearers have finally taken over Kickback completely. Most people seem delighted with the summer transfer window. Absolute madness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I'll wait and see how the boys that come in perform. No point losing our shit over guys we have no idea about. Maybe Levein knows what he's doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only recognise Alex Young ( front right ) Cant really see on this phone but I'm pretty sure that next to Alex Young is Dave Bowman's Dad, Andy. Over his right shoulder is Ian Crawford , scored 2 in the '56 final, and 2 to the left in the middle is Jimmy Murray, first Scotsman to ever score at a world cup.

Call me old-fashioned, but I would rather our limited budget to be carefully spent on players that have actually been watched 2 or 3 times in person by Levein, Murray or one or two of the in-house coaching staff. Otherwise it's just like buying a "tip" at Musselburgh races - with the same hit or miss results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
