Self isolation for you lad

Let's face it when you see an adult with a beer belly in a football top , well it makes my old head boggle. 

Once it's in the shops I will purchase it for the children that on top of season tickets its money well spent

Mate, On Sky they give you the option of canned crowd noise or the silence from the stadium itself.  The canned crowd noise is horrendous because of the delay.  And on the silence from the stadium the commentators are frequently apologising for colorful language.

 

I personally prefer the silence - wouldn't mind it in OF games next season instead of Andy Walker - he is the reason they invented the mute button

I love a bit of colourful language sometimes its better than blinking rubbish being served up on the park .

Looks ok, nothing special. 

A bit like the team then ?

Watched some of the FA cup ties and watched good sides and good players who seemed to struggle and I wonder if playing in empty stadiums has had an adverse effect on the so called big teams , but more importantly how will we cope at Ibrox our lads are used to playing home games in large crowds,  will it be a hindrance or a help .

I wonder how many managers will still be in their jobs when the new season starts both in Scotland and England 

Sitting here watching Norwich against United in a cup tie the first half was dire a better second half but what makes it even worse is no crowd  .

There was a time in Scottish football, oh 30 plus years past, when attendance presented an immediate mystery. Supporting Rangers, reserve games were the favourite for team lines containing A Newman, or A N Other, and very occasionally, A Junior. Trialists were a source of ambiguity, it usually took 15-20 minutes for some seer to appear and inform the uninformed of the player's name, past, and credentials. I believe there were regulations on the number of times a player could be listed as Newman, and I think clubs had a responsibility too? These days, I suppose it will be whatever Peter says?

 

Hollicom FC has already issued a number of team lines with Trialists, the most notable was, 'Gregor Cox'. A real hard charging all rounder with a great engine. Energy levels kept Gregor making hard tackle after hard tackle. Gregor Cox's preferred pitch was the readers comments sections of the National, the Herald, and the Evening Times. Gregor was fiercely supportive of Catriona Stewart's columns, casually dismissive of any news item deemed not sufficiently nationalistic, and particularly aggressive reference Rangers and Rangers supporters. It took a year for a number of Bluenoses to j'accuse Gregor Cox as journo, Catriona Stewart. It would appear Gregor has sustained a long term injury because these last few months, Cox has disappeared.

 

Hollicom FC continues to play fixtures and has a very real need of access. Last weekend, we had the organised chaos in George Square, Glasgow. Three different groupings took up position in the square; a protest focusing on making the lives of asylum seekers better, the national defence league intent on protecting statues, and the Green Brigade. I will say it, trouble makers all. Police Scotland assessed the threat and decided to kettle the 161 members of the Green Brigade and escort them back to the Gallowgate. Some scuffles broke out in the square and I believe there were six arrests?

 

Catriona Stewart pulled on the Hollicom FC jersey and utilised her column over three newspapers to pose the question, 'why were peaceful demonstrators kettled by Police Scotland'? This was galling to Catriona because fascist thugs were allowed by the same Police, to run wild. Now, both the First Minister and Justice Minister had issued statements condemning the George Square disturbance and supporting the Police. Catriona wanted the same reaction as the previous week, where the Green Brigade were allowed to wander around the city centre for three hours with extended ladders and new street signs. Despite videoing and posting the film on YouTube with their prominent skull logo, BBC Scotland reported their actions as, "anti-racism campaigners" and, "activists". Catriona wants them referred to as, "peaceful demonstrators". 

 

Further, there's an understanding, those nine members of the Green Brigade that hung two effigies from the roof of the north stand, noose around the necks, hands tied behind their backs, replete in both a Rangers scarf and an orange collarete; were NOT prosecuted, Humza Yousaf's PF Offices lost all the evidence. Catriona expects a similar convenience. It's best summed up by BBC Scotland's Michael Stewart's comments last January, "I support the political sentiments and aspirations of the Green Brigade". Being called out is not on, and Hollicom were up for firefighting.

 

Next up, reinforcing Catriona's column is SNP Councilor, Ruairi Kelly. He has published his letter across the same three newspapers, to the Chief Constable demanding to know why peaceful demonstrators were kettled, whilst fascist thugs were allowed to run wild. Remarkably similar language to Catriona Stewart, don't you think? Ruairi puts meat on the bones and expands the conspiracy. He tells us the 161 members of the Green Brigade had a Priest, a couple of elected officials and Trade Unionists within the number. Further, they noted police officers were wearing a blue patch on their uniforms. He asks if this was the thin blue line insignia which demonstrates, 'Blue Lives Matter'? He wants to know if this is legal under uniform regulations?

 

The thin blue line patch is a homage to PC Fulton, knifed to death on duty in Glasgow some 20-odd years ago, it is a UK wide tribute. Councilor Kelly has been told this by PC Fulton's widow, Christine, by the Police Federation, and the Chief Constable. Councilor Kelly has since done a Gregor Cox, departed the field of play. 

 

It's the sustained effort and energy demanded by Hollicom in supporting the actions of the Green Brigade. I fear posterity will not be kind, the Green Brigade will be redefined at some point as, 'a separate entity' and those playing an active part will be cast into anonymity, just like A Newman, A N Other, and A Junior. We should remember their names.

Could Gregor and Catriona be one and the same

He is a keeper - he has tons of time on his hands - he can get the same experience being with Livvy rather than us, on loan.  McGregor has a year or two left - McCrorie can go and prove himself to be McGregor's replacement elsewhere and, hopefully, helping take points off Celtic at the same time.

 

He won't depose McGregor because McGregor is still, IMO, the best keeper in the country

? if I were the boy I would be saying  to McGregor your times up old timer time to go to your allotment and enjoy yourself I am the man .

More seriously if the boys any good he needs a run in the first eleven play him in cup games .

I can now see the first old firm encounter moving as the horrid lot want 

McCorie is 22 its about time hes was given an extended run in the first eleven to see if he's up to it if not let the young man find another club who will give him a career. 

City make it look easy

He was pretty good too of course but probably gets more attention due to his open support for the club and his premature passing. It's only my opinion but I'd rank the best wingers I've seen as follows

 

1. Henderson

2. McLean

3. Laudrup

4. Cooper

5. Walters

No Davie Wilson not just a great winger but a very versatile player who could play in defence or as a half back .

You can have Alec Scott or Willie Henderson which one would you take .

Interesting 

As long as it brings in plenty of much needed money 

It's a funny old game 

The blades were poor
