Jacksgranda Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 From the BBC live match update - "Fashion Sakala receives Alfredo Morelos' pass and returns the ball low to the striker, who strikes wide. Another good move from the hosts." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 BBC have a section on their website just now with a few Memorable Games Between English and Scottish Clubs and have included a few ties where the Scottish club has lost. But no mention of unfancied Aberdeen turfing the UEFA Cup holders, Ipswich, out of the UEFA Cup. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who wrote the article clearly has very limited knowledge of any such ties not involving Celtic and the old, dead Rangers.

They were known as the 'Bank of England' team at the time and went on to be English League Champions that season, so aye, it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, I dont think it's clever it think it's a well worn cliche played out a million times a day in meme form and on social media. it's akin to a football crowd's idea of originality - in keeping with Monty Python, like singing "always look on the bright side of life" - to which a commentator invariably remarks on their fantastic humour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Apparently you can retain "unbeaten" status in the Scottish Premiership even if you get horsed 4-0 by Celtic. Edited October 4, 2022 by Hedgecutter 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The papers toe the party line when you consider all the other shite they try and brainwash us into believing has been posthumously 'retained' since 2012. I doubt even any of us doddery auld cnuts on here could be taken in by this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand how you get this wrong. Undefeated isnt just something a normal person assumes. Surely the person writting the headline/article would just look at the table with that one big fat L on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you narrow it down a bit - would that have been Airdrieonians, Airdrie United, Airdrie FC.....?

Jacksgranda Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 @Sergeant Wilson Did Airdrie lose a lot of fans when they 1/ moved from Broomfield (I thought it a lovely ground) and 2/ went bust and then the shenanigins with buying Clydebank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bar for the odd wee spike, it's on a downward trend since to mid 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I know it’s a stretch to classify Glasgow Live as “journalism”, but this is peak barrel-scraping. https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/liverpool-vs-rangers-score-predicted-25166095?fbclid=IwAR3dYE-IwrZ9PqqNjNdxvbDeADOlI4lIDMIdQaBgDEZbhPqGrBtPDtqnPq0#l8u8t28l824cgat7jnm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when the BBC (England) Sports page does a full day's (non match-day) live blog based on something like "vote for your favourite goal of the weekend" or "who was the best English right back of 1983", that's what does my nut in.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
