I remember Law and Baxter would only pass the ball to each other when playing for Scotland.

Not as I remember. Law’s instinct was to drive in at the enemy goal and have a shot. If he couldn’t make it he’d slip the ball to anyone.

Back many moons ago we had him watched and came to the conclusion he was to small .

Was that not John Whyte, compo?

When you see photos of Law at Huddersfield he was just a speccy wisp of a lad right enough.

Two cracking  games this weekend. Sunderland v Charlton on Sunday, Villa v Derby on Monday.

Ha’way the Lads. Come on Villans.

I think it’ll be Charlton and Derby.

Hearts were a terrific team Late 50s. If John Cumming or Dave McKay were playing today, Brown would be forced to learn a very severe lesson.

0-0.

Dreadful.

McGregor. Without him the chasers would have been much closer.

I don’t like “old firm” either but if it annoys pqcsc I might use it again.

I'm not going to comment on the refereeing decision because it's difficult to say exactly what it looked like from his perspective. But with the benefit of this replay it couldn't be a more obvious dive. Is that going to be retrospectively examined?

Shirt pulling. Penalty kick.

Each number is a minute in a game when a particular event has occurred but what the event is, I haven’t a clue.

The measured, tested, IQs of the Pacific Quay Sports' Department?

 

I was thinking along these lines ‘til I saw the 70.

Give some youngsters a deserved chance and not just 10 minutes

Agree. And for these youngsters or whatever XI goes out there’s a match to be won.

I won’t crucify SG if Rangers lose today. I did that when he broke the concentration of the defence by sending on a substitute at that fateful Motherwell corner in the 90th +++ minute.

I’d put in a smiley face but I trust fellow posters to recognise a bit of hyperbole.

We have nothing to play for

Wrong. Every single match is a contest to be won.

This nothing to play for nonsense goes back decades derived from the journo pack who are only interested in trophy winning. The original glory hunters.

Brilliant at times by City. Watford exposed as average. Surprised they finished as high up the league as they did. Maybe EPL isn’t so great outside the top five.

Nearly 3,000 notes and not one decent dram.

Flanagan did not appeal.

This procedure was an appeal by celtic against the failure of the referee to show a red card.

Well done and well said.

At the foot of the BBC sport page (the main one, not PQ) there’s an option to pick the team. I got ten Rangers into mine plus McGregor of the Hibs. He only gets in because for some reason there’s no option for Ryan Jack and I couldn’t pick Worrall.

Get to it chaps.

I wish I’d picked Worrall.

0-0. Sunderland through to Wembley most likely to play Charlton.

Meanwhile two big fish are floundering in the League playoffs, Sunderland and Portsmouth. Pompey are 0-1 but playing at home so should win by enough. 

Both finished behind Luton Town and Barnsley. If they can’t do better than those two it suggests neither is ready for promotion.

Despite Abraham and Grealish, Villa are dull. Derby are mote creative and dare I say it, have momentum.

Villa have greater potential than any others in the league, even the Sheffields, but successive owners and management can’t tap into it.

I want to win so I would be picking my best forward, Defoe. On the other hand Defoe has done what he was brought in to do and deserves an early rest so it’s Alfie to prove he is the second best with the prospect of being the best.

If Leeds can get through tonight then the Wembley final is pretty much two sleeping giants

Villa are the bigger giant by quite a bit. They are also sleepier by quite a bit.

Derby aren’t out of it yet. Leeds have had some bad home results.

I have a feeling about Derby. Leeds can be flakey at Elland Road. 7/2 would tempt me if I were a gambling man.

speirs won’t read anything on this board to justify what he says. On some others the discussion is less about just compensation for victims than it is about crippling celtic’s transfer budget.

However, his admonition of Rangers supporters would be better as a footnote to an excoriating condemnation of the separate entity like no other.

Plenty of coverage on Sky News. Anyone seen bbc?
