Minefield mate. You know six out of seven dwarfs are not Happy.

We live in the best of times, we live in the worst of times. It is an age of wisdom, it is an age of foolishness. It is an epoch of belief, it is an epoch of incredulity. It is the season of light, it is the season of darkness. It is the spring of hope, it is the winter of despair. Whatever your preferred prejudice, we must acknowledge these are woke times. ViaPlay are to be congratulated in covering the entire spectrum of inclusivity and diversity. Yesterday's panel for the Scottish League Cup semi-final between Hearts and Rangers had it all. The panel assembled for broadcast covered all the bases, it was : Marvin Bartley - black. Alan Hutton -white. Emma Dodds - Lesbian. Michael Stewart - complete and utter ginger cnut. It is the way ahead.

That’s how all commentary should be. I hate sports commentators who try to make themselves the entertainment

🤣 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Stewart_(footballer) "Michael James Stewart (born 26 February 1981) is a Scottish former footballer who stole a career He began his career with Manchester United and played for both Edinburgh derby rivals, Hearts and Hibernian. He also played for Nottingham Forest and Charlton Athletic during his career he was a failed footballer and gets frustrated when the famous Glasgow rangers win . Stewart was capped four times for the Scotland national football team. As a TV pundit, he has won accolades such as "Clown of the Year" and "Ginger Prick of the Month". He secretly has posters of Jorge Albertz on his wall.".

Arthur up go the heads Montford was the master of dreary. Still miss the auld codger.

I was raised to be 'colourblind' and correctly so but recent diversity courses at work have advised me that being 'colourblind' means you're ignoring other people's 'lived in experiences' and as such it can lead to unconscious bias and even covert racism. I kid you not.

Bartley and Hutton are decent pundits and Emma Dodds is one of the best presenters out there at the moment. The less said about Stewart the better.

Hilarious. Im sure only Caniggia would have managed to pull this one off. I mean dont even ask.......

I enjoy listening to Marvin Bartley - he is honest and objective, which is all you can ask for. I enjoy listening to Emma Dodds too - very professional, brings a light-heartedness to things - second in presenting only to Laura Woods, IMHO Hutton went up further in my estimation yesterday.... can be a bit drab (but not as drab as Kevin T) but the way he manhandled that fud Stewart yesterday was a joy - there was an instance where Hutton had said a Hearts player was lucky - Stewart immediately jumps on it and sais "you arent saying that should be a penalty are you ?" and Hutton immediately jumps on it with "when did you hear those words from my mouth". Stewart is a bellend.

I watched the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday, which was thoroughly enjoyable...apart from Nevin's co-commentary. He really is a smug wee prick.

Maybe it's his fault!

I find Bartley a bit of a dull dullard to be honest and I don't think he adds anything insightful. Stewart is like Pat Nevin, likes to say 'stuff' just to sound intelligent but just talks rubbish and cant hide his bias.

Nah, I hear what you were saying. 👍 Think we had Aberdeen 3 finals in a row in the late 80s? For nostalgia purposes I'll throw in the 96 final 4-3 v Hearts when Gascoigne came out and bagged a classic double (he had a double at half time aswell) - and it was the Neil McCann trial game where he was awesome. Delighted to be in the final although the date Dec 17 could have been arranged a bit better, it was always great to get this final in October. What length of contract is Butland on BTW anyone? At a time around 6 or 7 years ago when England had 3 or 4 coming through he was easily the best out of Pickford and Pope plus with Forster and Foster around - but he got a bad injury. Its great to see him showing his talent again - he is a top keeper and I wouldnt be swapping him for Pickford, Henderson or Sam Johnstone. Im liking what Clement seems to be doing, there just seems a bigger professionalism around the place and we have to remember he has barely had time on the training ground to implement his style due to midweek games.

Scott Wright played really well today. I really like Clement but have no idea why Lammers is starting. Get Cantwell in behind the main striker.

2019, the scum beat us in December, with the help of a linesman.

If he was doing this in the mid 00's he'd have England caps imo - pity that there's so much talent now and for the last few years in that position. Also doesn't include his assists!

As well as closing in on Mark Hateley and Kenny Miller in the all time Rangers goalscorers, Tav keeps climbing this list

That’s all so unfair on Aberdeen for reasons which will no doubt emerge.

A legacy from Raymond Glendenning.

Tenacious tenacity!

Absolutely loving how it looks like Clement has took the captain into the garage and fitted him with a whole new engine and attitude.

Of course you are correct. I propose Emma, Marvin, Alan and, Michael all chorus, 'we are the People' before every broadcast.

Idk if it's a popular view but I've always liked Hutton as a pundit - I think he's engaging, reasonable with his views and won't take the pish from the token Tim's. I'd rather listen to him than Fergie or Miller.

Aye I haven't listened to it in years - don't Clyde sponsor Celtic?

I took it to mean we wanted either Fluminense or Boca as a feeder club !🤣

This is pretty funny and smart from the club - nice story for a change.

Who? Nevin?

Sad news about Emma.

Stewart is completely unable to hide his bitterness. He's a woeful pundit and only gets the job because he himself provides a talking point due to his bias and incompetence.

There are few things in football better than seeing a struggling player suddenly find his self-belief and start turning in performances that see his detractors get behind him.

Bloody VAR two games in a row it has cost me correct result and goals.

To get the best out of Cantwell he needs to playas a number 10 which Lammers is doing atm.

I’ve never been keen on Cantwell, asil. Can produce something superb from time to time but the rest of the team isn’t good enough to carry him waiting for it to happen.

I hear you. Just being a pedantic pwick 🤣 As much as I find the LC an inconvenience, its an important chapter in the new "story" being written by Clement. I do have fond memories of some cracking finals, Coopers penalty in 86, Coopers free kick against Aberdeen in 87, Jelavic versus Celtic, beating St. Mirren with 9 men etc

Only a small number of folk can pull off the crop-top look
