Went on to see if they had a "rate the signings" or "deadline day round up" section, as I seen a new article was up this morning. 

Turns out it's a "pick your old firm 11" piece instead. 

Far be it from me to defend the beeb but there's plenty of transfer information on their site.

‘Tear stained response’

It’s not fucking P&B bbc. Arseholes.

 

I'm pretty sure whoever wrote that does indeed read these inestimable pages.  And, to be fair, that's the very definition of a tear-stained response.

And that same person is determined that James Tavernier is a left back.

The BBC usually have their live match day text up by now, any reason why they’re late today emoji848.png

Probably been demoted to the very arse end of the Sport page due to the big sporting event of the weekend:

ETA: As I wrote this it has been bumped up to the top. Somebody probably read your comment and got it fixed.

BBC have an Old Firm combined squad thing, it was posted today and allowed you to pick a team between the two sides. You can still pick Calvin Miller and Moussa Dembele on it, absolutely right up to date as usual from the BBC.

What the heck is this guff?

There's enough shite statistics around to fill an, ahem, infographic, but what the sweet jeebus is the difference between 'shots' and 'total shots'? Is the former 'shots on target'? Can't be, as it's a larger number. So Total Shots must mean Shots on Target; i.e. something completely different. Good job.

 

 

As an aside, I am still implacably opposed to the whole "assists" thing. Urgh. I saw "secondary assists" the other day too which is even more revolting. Ice hockey thread for that pish.

SG after match interview on sky. For the goal he said.

For the Jack incident, which wasn't a foul, he stated...
The 4th official was shouting ' foul, foul, foul, foul.' At the referee

It was the ref decision so that doesn't matter.

If I was that 4 th official if I didn't shout that I a totally u professional and stupid manner I would complaining to the SPFL

8 ‘free’ players who could interest Celtic. Despite Findlay signing permanently at Kille months ago and  Ki Seung Yueng now at Newcastle.

It's more of a lazy-ass updating job.  The original article was published in June but updated (poorly) two days ago

The sports  guy on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about the League Of Nations. “This means an end to meaningless friendlies.” Ok pal, so what can Scotland qualify, or not qualify, for by playing Belgium and Portugal?
In general that's true though - Scotland just happened to be drawn in the only group of 3 in our league.
