  1. What I recall from Ebbe was a man who inherited a team which had been decimated by a combination of poor management, terrible transfers (£850k for Brian O Neil, £300k for Nigel Pepper and several others), and a Board who suddenly made the decision they were in the shit financially so really put the padlock on the transfer kitty. First season yes we finished bottom of the league but the next season it was 7th, and then after that it was 4th and giving Hertha Berlin a run for their money. The guy had won 4 Danish league titles, and 3 danish cups with Brondby (and shown Aitken how to manage in European football), and even had a short spell in charge of Benfica. He had a good record of developing young players (including Anderson, MacNaughton and some donkey called Brian Laudrup). Ive still got my copy of the Red Final in which he signed a comic strip taking the piss out of him too. Before Ebbe we had Aitken & Alex Miller (Who gave away Billy Dodds), and after him there was Patterson (who I seem to recall was up against Ian McCall for the role), before finally getting a hint of success with Nichol and Calderwood, then right back down to earth again with McGhee and then Brown. With the new training facilites and healthier finances I'd say the club is crying out for an Ebbe Skovdahl
  2. Stuart Baxter? Surely one of these days hes gonna turn up in scottish football

  4. Panda is part of the scouting network?
  5. You sure about that?
  6. My regular podcasts were getting a bit dull so spent an afternoon listening to stories/ documentries about Brian Clough. Real loss to the game

  8. 2013-14 season 48 Points 41 Goals scored 43 Goals conceded
  9. Didnt realise it was on
  10. As much as it is entertaining that Middlesborough have equalised, it only adds to my lack of understanding of the current handball rules? Suggestion from commentators is had the boy who handballed it scored, it would have been disallowed, but because he fluffed the shot and his teammate put it in, the goal stands

    Films

    Went to see 'Licorice Pizza' last weekend. Peaked my interest as it had less chance of NEDS showing up to see it plus its same director as 'Punch Drunk Love' Thought it was very good. Great soundtrack too

  15. Annan away eh? Those evil football governing bodies. I bet they even force SEVCO to only have to travel to say Palmerston or WORSE Fir Park the evil bastards
  16. Devolved nations have their own plans. Bug bear of mine is seeing the national and international press using the term UK for something on happening in England. Believe there is a record of someone in the tory cabinet stating the pandemic was 'an opportunity' and not in the sense of 'we can use this to learn from our mistake of scrapping the pandemic response teams we have spent millions on for the last decade and revolutionise the health system so it is well funded, well supported etc'. More 'we can make a killing here in more ways than one' Tories are on the ropes and even the Daily Mail is on their backs now they wont cut VAT on heating bills, despite it being pretty much the only 'promise' about brexit they can keep. The irony being it was the tory goverment of the 1990s who introduced it in the first place Suddenly lifting all the restricitons when there are still more than 50000 cases a day (and thats with a shortage a testing equipment) is them trying to appease a public that has turned on them. Given a chance the tories would have adopted the Belarus model and had little or no restrictions from the beginning, and if you happened to die, or suffer long term illness....well it would be because you were stupid because only stupid people get sick, or die in fires etc Nearly 12 years of this shite and come the next election the same fuckwits will go and vote for them again while on the opposite side, the same fuckwits wont bother to vote at all and the cycle continues. I fully expect to see the rest of the world adapting to live with covid, whilst the GB still under tory rule remains a plague island.
  17. By UK are you refering to the tories attempting to distract from their civil war by removing all restrictions in England? Smacks to me of a general defending the castle telling their soldiers to stand down as most of the attackers seem to have been killed
  18. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59974018 What price something like this happening with SEVCO in a few years?

  20. The Antiperspirant's nightmare is going to court....unless he succeeds in buying his victims silence. Seems an Alpine Chalet is also now on the market.
  21. Might be the player to run circles around his marker and give the opposition hell
  22. Nadir Ciftci comes back to Scotland this time with St Johnstone
