  1. Forest supporting cousin says its just down to the manager not picking him over the new signings. Burton Albion calling?
  2. By the time they have bailed out Everton, wasted several million on consultants who I thoroughly expect to then say redevloping Casement Park is not worth it so just move the Belfast games to London, given a large wedge to G4S to errect 1mile radius herras fences encircling all the grounds, and given Club wembly several licks of paint, there should be just enough left over to replace a couple of locks and/or doors missing from the other stadium toilets.
  3. + large crowd (tickets,hospitality merchandise, food, drink, halftime draw etc). Im assuming season tickets werent valid so allowing for expenses/ costs club might have earned 300-400k on top of the 143k 'prize money'
  4. 38month pay off. 6months more than hibs had to fork out
  5. With SEVCO tv commentary. Misses out the red card
  6. Just seen the 'chance' at the end. Certainly not as easy as the text commentary made out. Sad to say I agree with Elgindon's prediction for Sunday
  7. Love how this draw system works KI knocked Hacken out of the Champions League but end up in the Conference
  8. Is Joe Lewis stood on a box?? Didnt think Neil Mccann was that short
  9. well this is fun. A defence that looks like its outnumbered every time Hacken come forward. A striker who can't score a one on one Another who falls over if someone breathes on him And every other corner hitting the first defender
  10. Think the only way Duk is scoring tonight (if ever again) is a 3 yard tap in.
  11. 'Loyalty' is alot easier when you play for one of the richest teams in the world. Its pretty hard for another club to tempt you away when they can't match/ improve your wages. When your main career will naturally end before you reach 40 assuming you don't get crippled by a mistimed tackle, loyalty is a luxury you may not be able to afford Scotty Pippen's Chicago Bulls career springs to mind.
  12. Hibs on fire. Will next weekends game at pittodrie see old Lee exiting the main stand straight after the full time whistle?
  13. Away end sold out again. no pressure
  14. Miovski's control for this goal is a thing of beauty.

    War

    Leadser of the Wagner group seemingly dead in a plane crash. Slightly less subtle than falling out of a window
  16. One thing I personally hope doesnt become a legacy of the tournament is the american style referee announcements after a VAR decision. Although it would be interesting to see how many scottish refs were able to keep the smugness out of their voice when they award a penalty to the Tic or SEVCO
  17. Seem to recall Sportsound mentioned its going to be ripped up and replaced with grass soon.
  18. To clarify the 'specific' training we got was only a small part of it. About 80% of the time the drills were the same for everyone but then the outfield and goalies would be split. We had drills on reaction time, catching etc while outfield would have 'keep possession' etc Recall a horrific one where we had to lie in 'boat pose' (essentially sitting on yer ass but leaning back with yer feet slightly off the ground so yer abs start to burn) while the trainer and other keepers stood in a square (or circle depending on numbers) casually throwing the ball to you which you had to twist/ turn to catch and then throw it to the next person who then chucked it straight back at you. I was a passable goalie at 5s and occasionally OK at 7s but 11-a-side I was only to be picked as a total last resort (and even then I'd need bribing). The only thing I felt I was OK at was 'one on one' situations largely thanks to a book on goalkeeping by Peter Shilton which drilled into my head that as soon as yer thigh hits the ground yer stranded and the striker can easily go around you. It does also help to appear to be alot bigger than most of the other players
