So, plastic pitches are no problem as long as you get on with the job and don’t pansy about.

I’m afraid, young man, , Scottish Football is most definitely not still in the dark ages. The game in the dark ages was rip-roaring, exciting stuff. Every match was a contest. You knew not just your own team but most of the opposition as well. Thrills, spills and goalmouth stramashes. Bring it back I say. All this geometry/geography/chess stuff is tedium.

I quite like watching City and Liverpool, though. And see the difference in United now that they’ve started driving forward?

I always watch with rhe sound off. Sometimes you get audio options in which case I select crowd noise or, depending on the commentary team, R5. Never anything coming from PQ csc and their dandy running dogs.

Shame Shrewsbury couldn't hang on to the win

Speak for yourself. ?

God save the Queen! I hope we jump over the Bufoon that Charles is though.

Charles has talent which may be revealed one day. To be honest the succession beyond him doesn’t look too good either. The Princess Royal could probably hack it but you can’t pick and choose your monarchs

2-0 to the Arsenal? Could happen.

Continuing to bring in new players will change little until we have a manager who's willing to sort that out. We won't win much until we do

Jock Wallace had managerial limitations but he would have been just the fellow for any one of the past six seasons.

We weren't top anyway.

Perhaps for a nanosecond or two at Defo’s goal?

The high watermark of the season maybe.

Played well in added time. Two decent attempts. Plenty of urgency. Why not have a go at that from the start of games?

Another mistake, and could McGregor done better?

Yes.

There is an old school quality that a fit McCrorie brings to the team

Oh yes. I thought that within minutes of his debut as a sub at Firrhill when he hoofed the ball up into the stand. Sometimes that’s what needs to happen.

Let’s hope 26th is right. Let’s hope Defoe plays, scores at least once and comes off uninjured.

I have a memory, not too distant, of a fairly prominent Glasgow club going to Kilmarnock after the break with a new star striker, successful,in the EPL. The signing had just won them the league, apparently.

The new guy didn’t score and Kilmarnock won easily. A similar fate will not befall a much more prominent Glasgow club, will it?

I wont until I’m assured it’s on the table.

What school did Lancelot go to?...

Holy Grail.

Some game at Molineux. Wolves 4, Leicester 3.

I’d like to have a dog in that fight. Nothing against Ayr but I’ll go with Talbot.

”Play up, you Auchinleck fellows.”  That’s what you sophisticated southerners shout at the game, isn’t it?

 If Cardiff could get three points it would get interesting for Newcastle.

 

I don’t think many geordies would call it interesting.

A great winger,if I remember correctly he wore a top hat at the end of the final in which we played in blue/white stripes,think it was circa 63.

They’re thinking of Southgate, apparently. No success in club management.

No success with England, either, unless success is defined as avoiding embarrassment in which case he was successful.

I don’t listen to or watch much of BBC Scotland but on the odd occasion that I’ve seen him, Brewer has spoken intelligently and conducted his broadcast well. What must it be like for him to share a studio with Haggerty?

Mon ami,

 

Qu'est-ce que c'est  floozie?

An unpleasant winter illness.

That was rehearsed. Still good, though.

Arsenal will win in London.

Brighton will not score against Liverpool.

Fulham will astonish the world with a victory amidst the dark satanic mills.

Cardiff will beat Town.

Palace and Watford will draw.

So will Leicester and So’ton.

Blues will torture the Magpies.

Everton may condescend to actually win a game v Bournemouth.

The Hotspurs will burst the United bubble.

City will be hunted down by Wolves (dream) Gribz has got it right (reality)
