I laughed at that, @26th of foot but it’s only the last sentence that amuses me. The rest is deadly serious. If I were Aberdeen’s Chief Executive I would be worried that the Coach didn’t know the rules. “Not every shirt pull in the penalty box is a penalty” says Robson. What sort of a shirt pull is ok anywhere on the field let alone the penalty area? Surely in football while the ball is in play, only the goalkeeper can use his hands for any purpose and that within a specified area of the pitch. Don’t any clever bloke mention throw-ins. The ball is not in play until thrown and if the throw is taken properly the player should be standing off the pitch.

Nice one there by Joe Green.

Plucky, plucky hoops. Done Ireland proud this evening. Held out until the 82 minute but a guy called Immobile has scored twice. Just as well Lazio didn’t pick a striker who can run. A penalty awarded to the spalpeens in the last seconds. VAR invites the ref to think again. He does and changes his mind. No penalty. Outrageous. I was wanting to see them miss it.

Perhaps a little help from some friends composing the text for these banners.

I read it as Ferguson being a better player than McGregor and better than Armstrong and better than Christie.

Nice collaret he’s got on but he should have had a haircut. Never knew the PoW was so tall though I suppose JG’s shrunk a bit in old age.

Always keen keen on mustard. Defected recently to American.

The only good thing to come out of Norwich was Kevin Drinkell.

They would have messed it up. celtic v celtic. Real Madrid v Rangers. Bayern v Rangers. Manchester City v Rangers Partick Thistle Bye.

I forgot to mention the Draw was a super-glitzy spectacular on the macbbc. The host was global mega-star Jonathan Thingmy and the magic balls were pulled out of the giant goldfish bowl by those two absolute legends of soccer, cup-winners with Dundee United thirteen years ago, Danny (I think) Swanson and somebody else. What a carry on. Been just as well done by the equally famous Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the SFA.

Away to Dumbarton. Buckie Thistle have a tricky away tie against Nippon Emerald but I fancy the Fishermen for a draw. They have a good Cup record in Glasgow. I think the last time they played there they best Queens Park when Queens were playing in Division A, the top flight at the time.

Shinnie?

There are no killers. Rangers always had plenty of these, at least one in every department.

“Not every one is a penalty when there’s a shirt pull in the box ….” - Robson. When were the rules changed to allow shirt pulling? Is it ok now to play rugby in a football match?

Great player. Scorer and maker of goals and nobody pushed him around.

I would’t normally but I did watch the Nippon Emerald match. The ‘keeper Kelly turned on the sort of performance goalies usually reserve for Rangers.

Were there other players he could have picked? Walter himself would be struggling with SG’s legacy of elderly defenders and Beale’s bequest of Netherlands no-hopers. ’tic didn’t click yesterday, did they? And they were at home.

When we go 2-0 up bring on McCausland to rout them.

No doubt about that.

You’ll be right, young man. The last one was Eddie Turnbull’s side.

By God he was. Hearts couldn’t manage him properly but Stein transformed him when he went to Hibs. Suggestions that on Friday nights Stein took him into “protective custody”. Should have added Peter Cormack and Jimmy O’Rourke to the list of hibbees above.

Doubt it. The most he’ll get after this is his bus fare.

Motherwell missed a penalty in the first half. Probably just as well. A score would have galvanised the spalpeens and they would have ended with six. The door of opportunity has opened a wee bit further. It’s up to Rangers to kick it off its hinges tomorrow.

You’ll not see me poncing about like that. Barbour now until mid-May, Crombie for funerals. Both have adequate pockets. Wonder what’s in his bag.

I see Stewart borrowed his wife’s camel coat and shoulder bag.
