  1. Here's a still from the video as the player is about to receive the pass... ...almost every time from that delivery a striker would control the ball with his right foot (except Nicky Clark, it would bounce off his shin) his 2nd touch would be a shot on goal, the defender wouldn't get there in time to block it I reckon, so any one of three outcomes would result. 1. He sclaffs his shot high and wide 2. The keeper saves it 3. He scores The back-heel he tried could have went either way too of course, but it was an exceptional piece of skill and can only be applauded. Fans love to see these type of finishes, very entertaining.
  2. Have you not considered the possibility that he didn't know his brother carried (allegedly) a knife.
  3. First he comes out with this as if he can't understand why... ...then says this??? What a fanny.
  4. I know why. and so do you obviously. TheWee BlueDevil...our resident traffic warden.
  5. Sorry but you talk some pish mate. Doesn't engage with me at all. You mention FIFA, EUFA and the FA without bothering to question those in charge of the game HERE! Notably the Scum Run SFA and SPFL!
  6. The brazen unashamed mighty club who are running away with title after title in our absence are a disgrace to the game itself. What other clubs outside Scotland think of them is anyone's guess, maybe they couldn't care but some MUST have an opinion on their behaviour and the way things have panned out over these past years. Talk about football rivalry? The rivalry in Scotland is completely different when it comes to this. You'de think some other country's media would question what's going on here in the 21st Century and why no-one in authority is stamping it out. Bigotry is showing it's face to the world here in Scotland and no-one seems to care.
  7. No, every sane person knows fine well Rangers cheated, the papers and tv media outlets are banging their heads trying to get this point across. Christ! The model club who can do no wrong and are ambassadors of Scottish football with an impeccable history and are currently the Champions of Scotland have reluctantly thrown themselves into the mix to make it obvious Rangers did in fact cheat. So it is very simple...Rangers cheated! If you listen to those above.
  8. No he's rich fat bastard who can rip the shit out of whoever is near.
  9. Apparently 'some cubs' are concerned at the damage this is doing to the game in Scotland. Take a step back and the 'only' concern is CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB are reaping the fruits from this disaster and not exactly doing it in the 'line of duty'. A horrible club which should be put it their place...Enter The Rangers...and make them suffer like before.
  10. Does the 'Goldfish bowl' make us exempt from Arsenal's experience? They can go f*ck themselves then.
  11. Don't know why this guy get's coverage today...as you say he mentions obvious icons of the era and because we didn't it was Rangers and C****s fault. In the OP he quoted Bert van Lingen but not Eric Black.? I suspect they were following the set agenda, us as guidance them as wankers. Now after all the raping and pillaging that has gone on Craig has decided to crawl out from some stone knowing he won't get an 'Old Firm' reaction due to the 'unsteadiness' between the clubs. What a prick!
  12. Craig Brown has a high impression of himself and it's no wonder he got told to get himself to feck. A useless c*nt who should never had got the Scotland 'job' in the first place. An arseblock of a man.
  13. I listened as far as the 'introduction'...then came back here speedily.
  14. An asterisk is fine by me, it's a very good idea from Wilson when you think about it. * Titles that jealous opponents wanted to strip. Bigotry reared it's ugly head in the years from 2012-2015 . Very educational for the next generation on how it was at this time in Scotland.
  15. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14025141.Craig_Brown__Celtic_and_Rangers_blocked_my_plans_for_Scottish_football___hopefully_Gordon_Strachan_enjoys_more_success/?ref=mr&lp=16 CRAIG Brown has expressed hope Gordon Strachan enjoys greater success getting his plans to resurrect Scottish football accepted than he did during his own tenure as national manager. Brown, who led his country to the finals of Euro ’96 and France ’98 and into the play-off for Euro 2000 during his eight years in charge, was pleased to hear Strachan is helping to address the decline of the sport here. The 58-year-old has been working alongside Brain McClair, the SFA Performance Director, since agreeing his new contract last month and is poised to make his recommendations public within the next fortnight. His predecessor was frustrated when his innovative suggestions to improve the number of young players breaking through into the senior game in Scotland were rejected by both Celtic and Rangers and his appeals for increased government funding were ignored. “The SFA had a Football Development Committee when I was with Scotland,” said Brown. “Leading managers, including Jim McLean, sat on it. They wanted suggestions on how to improve our game and I put one forward. “France failed to qualify for the World Cup in 1990 and 1994. Then in 1998 they won the World Cup. How did they manage it? One of the things they did was, after Gerard Houllier became their technical director, introduce a rule which banned clubs from having more than 20 players over the age of 20 in their squads. So if they had 30 players 10 of them had to be under 20. “John Collins told me about it. When he was at Monaco and Jean Tigana was the manager they got some injuries and suspensions. They were playing in the Champions League, but, because they were unable to sign anyone, they promoted two youth players. They were Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet. Just 18 months later those two guys were in the French squad which won the World Cup. “But the representatives of both Celtic and Rangers voted against the idea. Eric Black was sent by Celtic with instructions not to vote in favour of it. Bert van Lingen was told by Rangers to do the same. They feared it would put them at a disadvantage in Europe. “Bert said: ‘If we play, say, a German team with 30 players over the age of 20 were are at a disadvantage’. I told him: ‘But a couple of seasons ago you lost home and away to Auxerre in the Champions League and they are working to that rule! And you’re telling us that you can’t work to that!’ “Bobby Williamson said: ‘I’ve been doing that as it is’. He had Scott Brown, Kevin Thomson, Derek Riordan, Gary O’Connor, Steven Whittaker, in his side. Anyway, it didn’t get approved. Jim McLean resigned after that. He said: ‘Och, I’m not coming back!’ “It was a constructive idea to restrict the number of foreign players coming in and force clubs to field younger players. We even said we could start it off at 23 players over 20 and reduce it gradually. But it was rejected.” Brown was encouraged when Strachan, who has joined up with the Scotland Under-21 squad this week ahead of their European qualifier with the Ukraine, stressed the government has a major role to play in transforming Scottish football. For he believes that financial backing from parliament has been instrumental in the remarkable progress enjoyed by minor footballing nations like Iceland and Norway – both of whom have qualified for the Euro 2016 finals - during the last few years. “The remedy to the ills of Scottish football is facilities and that is not an SFA responsibility, it is a government responsibility,” he said. “I can remember going with Ernie Walker, the SFA secretary, to meet Michael Forsyth, the Secretary of State for Scotland, to plead with more money for Scottish football and for facilities, indoor facilities especially. “We now have three full-size indoor pitches, at Ravenscraig, Toryglen and Aberdeen Village. But I went to Norway, a country of a similar size, with Ross Mathie, the Scottish youth coach, 18 years ago and they had 12. Every town and village there has at least a half-sized government-funded indoor facility. “Even Aberdeen, a big city, only has one full-sized indoor pitch. The Aberdeen Under-17 v Ayr Under-17 game on Sunday was cancelled because the pitch was waterlogged - I know because my grandson was due to play for Ayr.” Brown added: “There is no problem with the coaching standards here. The coach education in Scotland is excellent. There are plenty of great coaches. The problem is that they have nowhere to coach. “The government is helping. But it still needs more funding. There is a perception that, because a few of the top players earn a few bob, it is a wealthy sport. In actual fact football needs every penny it can get for the development of youth.”
  16. Yep, it's all about The Rangers.
  17. Fulham manager shortlist Fulham have drawn up a shortlist of five names to fill their vacant head coach role, according to Sky sources. Paul Lambert, Nigel Pearson, former Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic, Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett and current Rangers boss Mark Warburton are the names under consideration by the Cottagers. Forget it Fulham. you have no chance!
  18. On this day 41 years ago, a testimonial for the late John Lunn of Dunfermline, Monday, November 11, 1974, a Dunfermline Select played an Old Firm Select at East End Park. The game finished 3-3. All I know is Denis Law scored the equaliser to take it to penalties, Dunfermline won after Dixie Deans sent his effort over the bar. The picture below shows the match programme front, back and centre pages.
  19. BBC Radio Scotland will have someone else on next saying the exact opposite, it's how it works.
  20. My first cup final was the '69 Scottish Cup ..not only that...I was in the filthy end because we couldn't get tickets for the Rangers end, we left at half-time and went back to the bus only to find the driver had locked it and had went to the game, we just sat there on the pavement as gradually others joined us.
