Nope. You’re right. I didn’t read the op properly.

I bet he’s not. How much did he have to pay you, Gonzo?

Excuse my cynicism. But isn't Mr Buchan just making sure he doesn't alienate followers of the Old Firm? How many 3 bobs might his publication lose by their omission? Let's not forget the Welsh either. Terry Hennessey? 😀😁😅

Nobody paid £M1 until 1979, Trevor Francis to Forest.
 

Greig wasn’t unknown in England and Gemmell was still famous for his Euro cup final goal.

Hennessy is a bit odd. Mike England, Alan Durban even Gary Sprake would have been better. 
 

I don’t think CBFM was bothered about circulation figures in Scotland or Wales. Readers weren’t so touchy back then.

Can't disagree with Caldow but it's a brave move to play him at right back

His first game for Rangers was at right back when George Young was out injured.

I had to check the stats for this. Capped 29 times for Scotland at left back and 11 times at right back.

Admin, there’s a guy on here been defacing illustrious names. Ban him. Oh, wait. It was Admin that did it.

Here’s the team. The defence is the easy bit, so strong that I don’t have to worry about defensive midfielders so Nobby Styles and Lee McCulloch have to sit this one out. I can run wild with attacking players but still have to omit superstars.

Zoff;

Caldow, Baresi, Maldini, Facchetti;

Messi,

Cruyff, Gento;

di Stefano, 

Puskas, Pele.

Who’s gonna be second? Liverpool or Chelsea? (Both my early season tips as champions) Or the thoroughbreds coming up on the rails?

I’m just surprised he picked Ralston ahead of my granny.

Last games of the year. I wonder if I’ll get one right.

'Spurs 3-1 Palace

Norwich 0-3 Arsenal 

City 3-1 Leicester 

Villa 0-2 Chelsea 

BHA 2-0 Bees 

Magpies 0-3 United

Good players adapt to any surface 

They do. I expect Uilleam ran in three tries at Millerston, converted them and took over as emergency hooker for the last ten minutes when the first pick drowned and won the strike against the head in three consecutive scrums.

One of Her Majesty’s Canadian Submarines.  The surface vessel might be Paddy Buckley, Aberdeen.

The current fixtures list is scrapped. The rhandom computer is churning out a new list of conventional fixtures for eleven clubs. Every one of the eleven has to write to the twelfth to ask when it can play. And for how long.

... hence my question whether this was not established in court before? Didn`t the last court case rule that tax was due to be paid on the EBTs et al and hence I assumed that the claim was correct. Then again, BDO disputes the sum, which might be a different thing.

The Supreme Court decided on liability to pay. Still leaves the assessment of the sum actually due open to argument.

at what rate did they think they’re taxed at? >100%?

Interest and penalties would account for a bit of it.

Yeah, UBs sang this with the old school scarves held aloft. Remember TBO trying this a some years back. Would look amazing with the whole stadium joining but maybe it's a bit to slow tempo to catch on?

Young folk can’t sing. They can only do a yapping chant. They don’t understand some tunes are meant to be slow. I blame all the jackhammer music they listen to.

Another epic, thanks.

What a team the Hibs put onto the park. Well done, the Famous, to beat them.

More to the point, who was the lawyer?

Forecasting a postponement is probably the safe option.

Not a betting man but if I were, I'd bet game called off tomorrow or Friday

That’s for Timothy to decide, isn’t it? Where does his advantage lie? Probably a postponement giving him a chance to narrow the gap and help towards fixture congestion.

Midweek matches take forecasters by surprise. If I had remembered I’d have gone for a massive home victory for City and a solid away win for the Villa. Can I maintain such good form?

BHA 1-1 Wolves 

Burnley 1-0 Watford 

Palace 1-1 So’ton 

Arsenal 2-1 Hammers

Leicester 2-1 ‘Spurs 

Chelsea 3-0 Everton 

Liverpool 5-0 Newcastle 

I fear Ryan Jack’s career may be over. Great disappointment for the player.
