Maybe if they had punished the sheep/Separate Entity players harder in the beginning our players might not have done it?
No. Dopes will always be dopes.

Honved were the army team in Budapest. Puskas played with the rank of major. That makes our lads lance corporals notwithstanding their own considerable merits.

According to reports, Wolverhampton Wanderers have now agreed a kit deal with Castore.
I hope Castore know what Old Gold looks like. Don’t want to see the Wolves rigged as canaries.

On FF there are more than the occasional pearl cast before the - erm - readers. Here’s one.

Uruguay 7-0 (World Cup Finals)
England 7-2 Home International
England 9-3 Home International
No Rangers involved in the first two and Fred Martin (Aberdeen) ‘keeper in both of them. Not a bad goalkeeper despite the scores.

I wonder if Scott Brown will come out of retirement for the finals. Bound to be a mhedia campaign.

Own up. You use bootblack on the snout and pads.

Pity. Goes to London and learns to speak coarsely. Should have stayed in Errshurr.

It’s a puzzling case. There are many instances of the Police and the Procurator simply getting things wrong. There are a few cases, reportedly, where frustrated bobbies may have gone after an habitual criminal to get him because he got off on something else. (Imperfect justice but the bloke most likely did it anyway and he would have been going to do something else in a day or two) But a malicious prosecution at this level? What’s the motive? It’s not as if COPFS is overrun with vengeful hunns.

University of Strathclyde(Glasgow's premier seat of tertiary education)
That may be true. Not for me to say.
I recall more than five. decades past, attending, as a guest, a meeting of the Diagnostic Society of the University of Edinburgh. Needless to say the entire proceedings were a mile above my head but I recall a reference to the newly chartered Strathclyde as “Scotland’s only List D university”.
If it’s any comfort the effete dilettante who said that also called LSE “a working man’s polytechnic”. Bit rich considering that in the competition 26th mentions, Edinburgh had just been bested by the cockney sparrers from that very institution.
Anyway: stats: expected goals. Many a time I’ve eagerly ascended the terracing stairs expecting a barrowload and got/sod all.

De Bruyne misses a penalty. McGinns goal for Villa after just two minutes disallowed. Too early in the game though it didn’t matter in the end.
Sheffield United struggling and Wolves seem to have lost something. Jota?
In the FA Cup Sunderland beaten at home by Mansfield, a team near the bottom of a league even lower than the one Sunderland are in. No great surprise to most but still a shock for folk who remember the real Sunderland, a top line club but that was in the days of Roker Park before the “Black Cats” nonsense

Assuming Accies don’t score five, this is a sickener for the tims. They get a good result, nurse a bit of hope for a while before kickoff and it’s gone already. Rangers’ fans have been there often in recent years.

What exactly is a playmaker? A man who can receive the ball at a distance from goal and either by beating an opponent(s) or by releasing a pass creates a chance for another to finish? Who is that in the current team? Hagi? Aribo?
John Greig could win the ball and drive forward scattering a couple of defenders then pass the ball in roughly the direction of Ralph Brand to crack into the net? Was JG a playmaker?

Half back .
In the old days, one of the half backs or one of the inside forwards, sometimes one of each. Baxter and McMillan.
Mostly inside forwards, when I think about it. Only three half backs, Baxter, Murdoch, Frank Beattie.
