Never saw the game but Nathan Patterson getting slaughtered on social media. 

He got robbed trying to play like Beckenbauer when he should just hoof the ball out.

That's not England's fault though.  And McGinn did say "Channel 3", which is probably a reflection of his IQ.  

Well, given that Eng, Wales, Scot and NI usually play at the same time, Channel 4 could arrange for broadcasters in the 4 countries to feature their own teams. It's all part of the attitude that infers England means Britain. I'm British and Scottish not British and English.

McGinn has a point though: Channel 4 beam all England games throughout the UK but you cannot see Scotland games on terrestrial tv.

Gave it ten minutes and you can see we’re just not good enough at that level 

After 45 minutes we were the better team (even the Dutch coach admitted that). We fell apart after the goal and the substitutions.

International football is an anachronism whose time has passed. We should no longer be expected to fund a player base for national teams to choose from, while clubs take the risk and bear the consequences. 
 

Having finally got a decent left back up and running we now face the prospect of having to field a clearly second choice player and jeopardising our competitive objectives. 

That's a bit extreme. And unrealistic. You really don't think the Euros and the World Cup will be scrapped, do you? So where will international players come from? Further, if Rangers FC (or any other club) adopt a policy of not releasing players for international duty (even if legally possible) nobody but nobody will sign for us.

John Nelms forks the Dens Park pitch with his tongue.

 

John Nelms is a former US Navy submariner, he spent several years based at the Holy Loch. Continually diving too deep, enduring weeks of breathing each others' farts and, when they open the hatch you find yourself in a midge infested hell hole; it all has an effect. This Bubblehead's particular bubble is helium, have you heard him speak? John keeps his mouth open because he is attempting to equalise head pressure, a fortunate trait that Peter finds most convenient. John is happy to be compliant.

 

According to John he fell in love with ra Sellik whilst moored in Argyll and when he returned to Scotland, fronting Texan millionaire, Tim Keyes investment he was anxious to follow his heart. Dundee were the club he utilised to beat his Yahoo desire. He proposed a Dundee - Sellik league fixture should be played Stateside on St Patrick's day, preferably in Boston. He voted twice by e-mail to secure Sellik's nine-in-a-row and muddied the waters by claiming spam folder happenstance that annoyed Partick Thistle, ICT, Stranraer and, Rangers. He created a scheme allowing Gordon Strachan to have dual roles at both Dundee and ra Sellik.

 

John thinks both Neil Doncaster and Murdoch MacLennan are stand up guys and we can all look forward to the SPL investigation that will blame Sean Batty for getting the weather forecast wrong and fining Rangers because they turned up. Of course, Neil and Murdoch will take the line(s) thrown by Gang Hutter, Kheredine Idessane as the basis for the investigation. John Nelms grasped at his fellow Bhoy's buoys :

 

You and your groundstaff have been here since five this morning forking the pitch?

Another thirty minutes and this pitch would be playable?

The last fixture was delayed for thirty minutes because Rangers arrived late(Kheredine fail failed to mention the crash on the Tay Bridge).

The last fixture saw a further twenty minute delay because of pyro' being ignited within the Rangers support(banged to rights on this one).

 

Kheredine did not confront John Nelms with information garnered from his interview with Philippe Clement :

 

Rangers only found out there was a problem after 09.30 hrs because the club kitman had arrived at Dens to see Nelms and groundstaff forking the pitch. He was told they had called a local Ref' to undertake a 10.15hrs inspection. 

The game was the only senior professional match in the UK postponed over the weekend.

Dens Park has hosted 16 league fixtures this season and four of them suffered postponement due to a waterlogged pitch.

 

I will save the SPL the time and expense. Neil and Murdoch will say exactly what Peter tells them to say, just like John Nelms. 

 

White man speak with forked tongue.

Wolves and Liverpool were just about safely through and then the world turned upside down in the last minutes. 
 

Chap called Amad Diallo scored in extra time to equalise then got the winner a minute later. Bring him home.

I know. I had to look him up. He was on loan at Sunderland too. Maybe we are too quick to write off out loan players; after all, they are meant to have...potential. Even Harry Kane was once a loanee. Saying that, he didn't do much in the game.

In the quarter finals, Wolverhampton Wanderers 2, Coventry City 3.

 

Coventry led 1-0 until the last ten minutes. Wolves scored twice and packed their defence but lost two goals in added time. 
 

Lesson: do your defending in the opponents’ half, not your own.

Watched it. Great game. Mark Robins is the most under-rated manager in the EFL. Or in England generally.

Best ever Brazil team?

 

 

Yes I think so.

Cantwell gives away possession as much as the good things he does.

Just now, Rousseau said:

Both sides are level on shots, yet they've got 1.54 xG compared to our 0.40 xG. 

 

We just don't have the quality in the final third. 

And we don't know how to break from corners.

Get subs on....

Think I'd like to see Roofe come on. Could be his type of game. Remember that goal in Belgium when the conditions were similar?

Don't tell me about Scottish refs.

Don't like all these corners conceded.

Lawrence!

Sam English was from County Londonderry and grew up in Dumbartonshire. He was a shipyard apprentice before his professional football career, returning to the tools after retirement.

 

Tom English is from a wealthy middle class Limerick family who owned a number of local newspapers. Tom was privately educated hence, his obsession with rugby.

I was jesting 26th but thanks anyway!

KLAXON KLAXON  Hear this!  Hear this!

 

It is Friday night and I am viewing BBC Scotland's satellite channel's live coverage of the Championship match between Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic. Half time is 1-1 and the trio of Jonathon Sutherland, James McFdden and, Leeanne Crichton spend ten minutes discussing first half events. There are another five minutes before the second period begins and the Shetland pony announces an interview of Jack Butland by Tom English. 

 

We know BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer has been banned from both Sellik Park and Lennoxtown since the close season by Peter because he penned the truth about Brenda's departure to Leicester City. Initially, Peter banned BBC Scotland in it's entirety but relented after demanding both the corporation and Tom English apologise. The Gang Hut offered full throated consummation because ah mean, 'faithful through and through'. However Tom has refused and remains on the naughty step.

 

Tom's five minute chat with Butland is nothing spectacular but reveals the English keeper is not remotely interested in returning down south any time soon. Significantly,  the interview was conducted at Auchenhowie. 

 

PQ have NOT flagged up this interview on their website or on any of their numerous TV and radio news shows. It has been sneaked in at half time during a Friday evening Championship live coverage. The Gang Hut will be raging, BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer providing a service to license fee paying Rangers supporters! Steven Gerrard was Rangers manager for three and a half years and the national broadcaster does not possess a single second of interview pertaining to that time.

 

Has Tom gone rogue?

Maybe he is the long lost grandson of Sam English?

Well I feel a heck of a lot better.

I wouldn't take any notice. 

 

They'll score a couple in the 90+10' minute. 

They'd better bloody well not. When we play them I want them to feel the force of a Tav. penalty in the 98th minute. Can't think of a better way to beat them.

Yes, because they are paranoid, we are correct.  The refs are a combination of incompetence and cheats.

Just because they are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get them!

Well done Don Robertson.
