I don’t mind it because on the whole I couldn’t give a shit about English fitba. EPL is a different sport really. In fact not a sport it’s just entertainment. I live down here and the club I started going to 24 years ago are run like a proper club. I’ve watched them in conference, 3rd division, league 2 and league 1. The best season by far was the season they were back in the conference. Cheltenham were approached by the Russians that then bought Bournemouth. Chairman at the time gave them short shrift, would not sell to anyone who might threaten their existence. Board turned down Dale Vince (of FGR) too. There was a point, in the late 90’s where the 2 richest people involved in British football were on the boards of Aberdeen and Cheltenham.

Fair enough, I can get that. I’ve never minded the geordies.

Why. I’m not in favour of the Saudis or their regime but let’s not pretend the the EPL don’t have Russian, Italian and American gangsters as owners already.

Gerrard would be an idiotic appointment unless they bring Beale and MacAllister as well, at that point they’d be as well appointing Shearer with those two. Can’t see the geordies being as enthused with Gerrard as a figure head as the huns are. Someone like Mancini or Rodgers would make more sense. Looking forward to another team upsetting the self appointed “big” clubs.

I get that, the point I was really making was why wasn't he called up prior to the last two times when his form probably warranted it? Why now after this summers pushing for a move to England and his fathers derogatory comments in the media? You're probably correct that Patterson will continue to get called up, but if we're truly selecting on form and playing time Ramsay should be there ahead of him.

We all know that Patterson will be out of the Scotland squad as soon as the rat is back playing for the huns. What's confusing me is Ferguson's inclusion, now his form for his club has been about the poorest it's been. It's almost as if there's an old boys club, in Scottish Football's higher echelons, who look after their own. It's not as if he's picked as a token Aberdeen player so will be interesting to see what happens when there is no need to pick Patterson as the token hun. Will Lewis get dropped for the rat and Patterson dropped for Ramsay?

Odd goings on there. Some hun loan,Williamson, told not to play and rest for 24hrs following a “post covid blood test” Top Don Bruce having a diabetic fit. Styjek and Fitzwater chucking up at half time. Both subbed and Sibbald also off and involved in some way. Reckon the huns have sent a Trojan horse into Livi to try to infect the whole league.

Jumped species again? Worrying!

Disgusted we sold him to the huns at all. Also concerned about the economy due to the clear hyper-inflation.

I think the huns calculate player values at around £1 million per first team game played (once they've had a NT call up). Guess that means Ferguson is now worth around £130 million? ?

When is the rat going to be fixed, so we can stop pandering to the huns and get a right-back that actually plays club football (and the best young right back in Scotland) involved? Also when is Fergusons transfer going to be announced?

Fair play to Payet for chucking the bottle back although the throat punch from the coach is a thing of beauty. French have always had the right attitude, "My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan." Eric Cantona.

The second goal was a really basic error. He had no idea Zanata was closing him down on his blindside. He didn’t get his head up and look and he was clearly concentrating so intently he did not hear the 3 or 4 players who must have been screaming at him that there was a man on. A half decent player at that level would have adjusted their body shape at the last second and gone to ground for FK or as has been said adjusted earlier and banged it high and clear.

McGregor should have been sent off. Fuck knows why not. Got to assume they’ve somehow managed to kidnap the real ref and replace his with a Scottish one.

Wasn't Tansey loaned to Ross County by the January of 2018? I suppose he could be blamed for the 3 points less we achieved that season but does he get any credit for however many points it was closer to Celtic we finished?

Guess that’s why Jenks was brought in, for the short term and probably why we allegedly enquired about the possibility of a transfer for the long term with potential to develop. Hopefully Campbell begins to leave his mark on games more often. I think it’s also a bit revisionist to say we became worse after the rat left. We finished second in the league and lost to the beaten finalists in both cups. The real drop came when MacLean (in particular) and Shinnie went. These were replaced by Campbell not experienced enough, Ojo not good enough, McGeouch permanently injured and Ferguson undroppable…

Club should tell Ferguson every time someone from his family/team whines to the media or mentions gentleman’s agreement, the asking price doubles. Although his lack of involvement yesterday may suggest an acceptable offer has been received?

Looks like Malmö will be winning the Champions League, at the minute.

Dixon also suggested at Harry Kane’s earlier dive attempt at a penalty that the Danish player had kicked Kane in the front of his leg using the back of the leg… And as for whatsamatterface and the ITVhub…

Lee Dixon. “I’m not sure he’s not given it for the second one”. What the touch that comes when he’s halfway down diving.

Cheats.

Fucking yasss min! How long before t-Rex arms gets mentioned???

Just sing the version I've been singing in my head each time I here it (I actually thought it might have been the Italians singing last night). "It's going to Rome, It's going to Rome..." Was that not because of Busquet's controlling the game, the Spanish 2 touch slow build, and Dani Olmo causing them all kinds of problems at the back? England don't have a player of the quality of Busquets, they try to attack at speed, and they'd need one of their front 3 to be on absolute top form to replicate the impact of Olmo. If the guffies can get past the Danes, I can't see the Italians having much difficulty in beating them. Have to laugh at how much Schmeichel has wound them up too. "Has it ever come home?"?

? Fuck knows what I was doing last week. Clearly not reading donstalk, anyway.

See Tommy Johnson is being linked as our new head of recruitment. Left the same role at Blackpool.
