Decent profile of him on the iplayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0fryllf/icons-of-football-series-1-5-steve-archibald

I do agree with you Rico. It looks like we didn’t need to know any of this. Given what’s happened in last few minutes: The Sun really are a bunch of cunts.

Thirded. Both strips look fantastic IMHO. Already got the away one but that will have to do - expensive business for the fans with the club releasing two strips every season! Surely if we’re ever to ditch Adidas, it would be for Castore hopefully.

I think there’s more to The Sun story than meets the eye (ie. the Sun has some questions to answer!) and it was interesting a journalist asked Davie earlier whether there was any blackmail going on But there’s now a second story about the presenter on the BBC News site. So far nothing criminal being suspected but given most people now know the name of the presenter, they’ll surely have to go public. If you were going to name a list of BBC presenters who this WOULDN’T be about, you’d start with David Attenborough and work your way down - and the presenter who has been suspended would be high on many peoples list for this NOT to be about him. Hugely surprising but it just shows you! Main concern (at the moment) is probably the potential use of licence fee money to pay a young lassie for photos just so he could crack one off!

We’re gonna miss Murray when he retires. Another great effort tonight to turn the match round.

From the archives. I’d forgotten the fuss Motherwell had made at the time! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/dec/10/craig-brown-aberdeen-motherwell

Very sad news. You won’t hear anyone say a bad word about him. Fantastic company for those that have met him.

Shame to see Paul Sturrock struggling with Parkinson’s on last nights Icons of Football. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001myk7

I got quite excited when Booth returned from his European adventures, and we did get one good season out of him.

Jamie Smith is “Executive Director” at Tennessee United Soccer Club.

Yep that’s a sad one. Great player and decent bloke by all accounts.

The night of the long knives.

I visited The Valley a couple of times during Charlton’s “glory years” under Alan Curbishley. It’s a decent ground and should be a good visit for anyone going.

Fuck knows what this actually says because I’m not a subscriber: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/5768689/exclusive-aberdeen-leighton-clarkson-back-from-liverpool/

Famous Australian nonce Rolf Harris.

Yes.

Should’ve put Weir & Strachan on at half time.

This BBC doc on just now is excellent. Some cracking contributions.
