As God intended. Correct. The "engineering" he called for must have worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same school of cringe as these bbc Scotland “comedy” actors with their middle class accents who throw in the most forced and unnatural “pure dead brilliant” or “pure radge by the way” into one of their sketches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it as a piece overall though. Recognition that it's totally skewed financially, which is why they always win. Infinitely preferable to an article imploring us to speculate as to which flavour wins this time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but I welcome anything which recognises that the current situation represents a problem. That's rare. I also like that it knows we're stuck with this shit, unless there is serious structural change. Yes, it could probably cope without the 'pure dead mental' bit, but I don't think that's the focus of the article at all. It is light hearted in tone, but it's only "quaint" in that its truth telling is more unusual than it should be.

My fear is that somewhere within BBC Sport Scotland Nick McPeat is getting strips torn off him for daring to insinuate that Celgers or Rantic winning the league isn't a result of their overarching brilliance and astonishing ability of such godlike managers as Gerard & Postegoclu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think back to the first WWF draft in 2002, when every wrestler from the roster was thrown into the mix and Vince McMahon stood at the top of the ramp and brazenly announced The Rock would move from Raw to SmackDown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Europa League last season, had Rangers won it*, would've been a very meaningful win. And you can tell the difference between their utterly forced "yaassss we beat ra t*igs/h*ns to another title!" rhetoric and their unbridled joy of winning and going far in tournaments they're not favourites to win. *But they didn't, get it right fucking up them.

CoF Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Putting aside aspirations for Motherwell, the best I hope for just now is for one of the city clubs to get their shit together and still be within touching distance after Christmas. I hoped with the squad investment of United, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen we might see one of them show enough consistency to do so, but that's kinda gone to shit already hasn't it? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
