Can we have a whip round and get a decent commentator add a voice over?

Right what I wanted to post when McTom distracted me No match thread has had me discomfited so I did think to myself Swaddon must be going tonto Again (brewbrouhaha aside) appreciate how we’ve been welcomed(tolerated ) here

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss Oops wrong thread but FFS look at that goal

And just like that cloudflare is brought down taking out AbMad and half the internet da mess with some of the AbMad inabooters has mondo made it over yet? I detect his work

Right scrap everything I’ve just said - just watched the interview and he’s won me over. Unfair to let my misgivings about Dave’s judgement cloud him personally. Came over really, really well. I’m a bit in thrall mysel

Maybe expressed myself poorly there - I agree a big personality could be just what we and JT in particular need. Just concerned it was his force of personality that won Dave over as opposed to his credentials, similar to the gobshite Warnock. I’m just still burned by that guddle.

Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood as I couldn’t get past first 20 minutes but others have also raved about it to me so I’ll have to give it another go. I usually enjoy most of Wainwright’s stuff. Just started and enjoying Down Cemetery Road (Apple TV, although available elsewhere ) from both the writer and scriptwriter of Slow Horses. It’s akin to it with a similar funny OTT feel and maybe Killing Eve with OTT characters and performances with several big name actors chewing scenery entertainingly. What grounds and elevates it though is Ruth Wilson. She’s playing it straight and is outstanding. Only ever seen her in The Affair and didn’t even realise she was English. It’s not just her accent, her entire vocal range is different. Emma Thompson (also good) seems to be getting the headlines but it’s Wilson who has blown me away. Only two eps in but hugely enjoyable.

Not watched it yet (thanks for heads up) but having read his autobiography (book review available on Mad ) I’d say we’re guaranteed at least interesting. Huge personality which worries me after Dave being in thrall to Warnock but he may be a good foil for Jimmy. I’m just concerned by said contacts. Without sounding all Reform-ish I want a pathway for our own youth not a model to develop players from every corner of the earth. Given both Dave and Jimmy have previously stated this is a priority I hope it’s proven I’m worrying needlessly. It’s going to take time though. The club have been quite clever in their marketing of Jimmy as a three year project and I think it’s afforded JT more leeway/time than previous incumbents. As a fan base we also need to give Lutz time to turn our pitiful youth pathway around too. I think he’ll get it if we see young players get chance but its unfortunate he’s coming in when we are where we are. All the best to him, he’ll need it…

See that red haired man? Tells the weather on Anglia TV. And there’s a pair of script writers. And see the tall languid radge? Played for the famous.

Bruce Springsteen - My Best Was Never Good Enough

His 17th senior club. I understand why he fools so many recruiters because sometimes he did things that surprised you. The nonchalant skill, his physique. There was the occasional appearance where you thought aye he’s got something. I did enjoy watching him at times, he was different. But of course more often there were times when I would have been hard pressed not to slap him if I met him after a game. What an infuriating waste of his own talents he was. National league. Silly man.

Jerry Lewis - Never Smile At A Crocodile

The National - Dark Side of the Gym

Not that well…. EE saying we’re getting him back now the Finnish season has ended.

Lost momentum we had. BGD was actually effective at the point he was taken off. That was utter shite again tonight.

3-2 down in the last minute and Gordon getting told to get back Clarke in a ruddy nutshell

“not sure that’s a yellow, never mind a second yellow” no such thing Faddy

Soutar and Hanley. Shocker. Clarke yer an arse

And fat. Fat, useless, farmyard animal shagging, hun cunt. Pathetic we still have several overweight players in the national team.

The Beatles - Things we said today

I was spluttering at Miller saying he was just enjoying kicking ‘the sphere’ again I’ll overlook it as he was great tonight. A player I felt never really got his full due at the time for us. What we would give to have him now

No idea who Celtic goalie was or the butter ba up front for them? Not sure he even touched the ball until their final game. A lot of the Glaswegian teams’ players were an absolute mess.

And was the only one apparently to have a right go at TWatt after Ruby’s red. Put him on his arse and told him to stay down. I’d be disappointed to see him leave but he’s obviously out of favour. Can’t grudge him a move but it’s a black mark against Thelin IMO. I thought when JT was still playing the 2 at back end of last season that him and Palaversa were the best of a bad bunch pairing wise and I don’t rate Palaversa in the slightest.

Oh and Mulgrew is still an absolute Grade A FUD
