We have nothing to fear but fear itself......and that worries me with some of the fearties we have on display -
An interesting observation. I have long thought that graduates from the SFA Coaching Centre at Largs, who include some of the biggest names in European football, tend to fall into two categories: A. Those who take the coaching and learning seriously (non-Scots, generally) B. Those who attend merely to get their 'ticket', and forget most of what they have learned as soon as they walk out of the door (Scots, generally).

You gotta laugh. There was a school of thought, some years ago, which opined that Scottish sides did not do well against 'Continentals' primarily because the League was, well, pish, with little quality and competition. Prior to that the reason for failures, from ignominious upwards, was stated as the 'three foreigner rule', or the 'eight diddies rule' as it was sometimes, unkindly, called. (I am inclined to think that reaching Europa Finals -the fhilth, in 2004, and ourselves in 2008, and 2022- might undermine the former thesis, and confirm the latter.) That the 'best and most competitive' League in the world's representatives have failed to reach any of the three European Finals is explained, now, by the assertion that it is, in fact, 'too competitive', which militates against success in European tournaments. As I said, you gotta laugh.

"....Real Madrid, the club of the so-called galacticos, are in the Champions League final thanks a footballer who, with the greatest respect, is no sort of galactico at all. He’s 34. He’s at Madrid on loan from second division Espanyol. He used to play for Stoke City. Oh, and it so happens he’s a Spaniard who was born in Germany, where, at least in Bavaria, he is now not very popular. He is Joselu, a name that will be for ever attached to another of those comebacks that, in recent Champions League campaigns, have become a genuine Madrid trademark. “It’s hard to explain, something magic,” Carlo Ancelotti, Madrid’s head coach, said of a late turnaround that had Joselu — coming on only in the 80th minute of a semi-final that was edging away from Madrid, thanks to Alphonso Davies’s superb second-half strike for Bayern Munich, and transforming it...."

"Erik ten Hag under consideration by Bayern Munich" You gotta laugh. From FC Holyrood (a total clusterfuck, where no one knows what they are doing) to FC Holywood (not quite yet a total clusterfuck, but trying hard, and where everyone knows they are a superstar). After last night, mind..... Erik ten Hag under consideration by Bayern Munich Deposed Bundesliga champions make contact with Manchester United manager as they search for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel Constantin Eckner Monday May 06 2024, 7.00pm, The Times Ten Hag coached Bayern’s reserve team in Germany’s fourth division between 2013 and 2015 Erik ten Hag under consideration by Bayern Munich (thetimes.co.uk) Bayern Munich have contacted representatives of Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, as they look to replace Thomas Tuchel. The German side have been frustrated in their search for a new manager after Ralf Rangnick, the Austria national team coach, became the latest to turn them down. Bayern have also been interested in Xabi Alonso, whose Bayer Leverkusen side have beaten them to the Bundesliga title, and their former manager Julian Nagelsmann. Ten Hag is one of the names being discussed internally and his management has been sounded out about his potential availability at the end of the season. Rangnick, the former United interim manager, has opted to remain in charge of Austria rather than take over at Bayern No decision has been made by Manchester United about Ten Hag’s future. It is understood that the Dutchman, who is under contract until 2025 and has guided the team to the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25, would not want to engage in any discussions with Bayern presently. Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford has become increasingly uncertain after a disappointing campaign in which United exited the Champions League in the group stages and missed out on qualification for next season’s competition. The Times revealed on Friday that Tuchel is on a list of managers under consideration at United should Ten Hag leave. Bayern have been looking for a new manager after announcing in February they would part company with Tuchel at the end of the season. They had expected to reach an agreement with Rangnick, who was United’s interim manager in the 2021-2022 season, but were last week informed that he would not be joining despite what sources described as fruitful negotiations with the Bavarians. Despite Ten Hag’s disappointing stint at Old Trafford, it is understood that members of Bayern’s hierarchy regard him highly. Ten Hag remains a familiar figure at the club, having coached Bayern’s reserve team in Germany’s fourth division between 2013 and 2015. After that, he enjoyed successful spells with Utrecht and Ajax before joining United in 2022. Bayern had also reached out to Julen Lopetegui’s camp to inquire about his availability. However, these talks came to nothing and Lopetegui is now set to replace David Moyes at West Ham United.

ManU currently 4 - 0 down at Palace, after 86mins. A total shambles, although Palace has played well, and attractively, scored some cracking goals, and thoroughly deserves this emphatic win.
