Not just that though, at about the 2:00 they show a chance that Clark headed over for us, but the following slowed down replay clip is of a different chance. It's bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I see the "super soaraway" Sun has managed to bag another exclusive, and what an Earth shattering story it is. Apparently Alex Dyer, who worked with Clarke both at club and international level, is tipping Clarke for success. A point so asinine, so tedious, so pointless we should congratulate those plucky investigative journalists in uncovering this shocking revelation. Thank you The Sun, you truly are a beacon in these dark times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It's just a classic second mention, which is fairly standard for journalism (or any sort of writing). You've already said the name so don't repeat it again and instead use a descriptor of some sort. The alternative might have been "Curaçao midfielder". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 No chance I'm clicking the link, but I can't actually remember the last time I noticed Rangers playing 2 up front. Pretty sure it's been 4-3-3 this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The Monday morning after the day on which Partick Thistle sacked Gerry Collins, a multi-storey car park in the heart of Glasgow, a down-and-out sits in the corner begging for coins from passers-by. As the now also unemployed football manager walks past, he drops a fiver into the man's cap. But in a flash the bloke gets up, chases after Collins and forces it back into his hand. "Here, Gerry, you're going to need it more than me." Even in his darkest hour the big man had to laugh. And that says much for someone who has been so outrageously treated by a board of directors who have acted shamefully. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing Chick Young (I know, I know) arguing on the radio why Celtic would be foolish not to hire John Hughes as our next manager All I could think was, you’re only saying this because he’s your pal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Peter Grant is the latest 'How fucking dare they sack him. Are they fucking mental?'. We had the same when Hughes left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Leckie is a fucking irrelevance Even aside from that it’s absolutely bizarre when people claim that certain shapes/formations “just don’t work”, as if every squad of players is the exact same and should only be playing in whatever the flavour of the month formation is. Not clicking it but it’s no doubt a terrible article all round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's outstanding! Not only the pinnacle of the genre - the opening anecdote must have also been a strong contender for the prestigious Didn't Happen Of The Year Award. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyzer0 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 From the Daily Record on Monday: 'Steven Gerrard's team host County at 3pm on Sunday and could go seven clear at the top of the Premiership, depending on how Celtic fare against Dundee in the lunchtime kick-off.' Because Apparently neither Dundee Utd nor Hearts could possibly win the game they're playing against one another on the same day, and so leapfrog Celtic into second? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) For any Dons fans heading to Pittodrie today, don't. According to the Record it's an away game. Edit: didn't even realise the score against Hearts either! Edited November 6, 2021 by Merkland Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I feel that Sky Sports using Leigh Griffiths in the promo shot for today’s Dundee vs Celtic game, who anyone who pays attention to Scottish football would know is ineligible for the game, might be worth a mention here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
