The Tin Man

Don’t think I’ve ever read every post of a 19 page thread before. Splendid stuff!

Sadly a shadow of the man he was due to Alzheimer’s. He’s in a nursing home in Dundee now. Fucking horrible disease that decimates even the strongest of wills.

2-3 FGS Kent

Got banned from Twitter for what I assume was an over use of the word c**t. They don’t seem to understand how much of a versatile word it is here in Scotland. Noun, verb, adjective. It goes right through the card. Most of the time it’s employed in a positive manner but sadly they weren’t hearing any of it and my appeal failed

UEFA has given the green light for a partial return of fans at matches, starting with international games next week.The governing body on Thursday announced that stadiums will be allowed to let supporters in for UEFA fixtures, though there will be a limit of 30 per cent of stadium capacity set. No away support will be permitted to attend until further notice and gates will only be opened if allowed under local rules. A gradual return of crowds can start at the upcoming national team matches, then for Champions League and Europa League games in the group stages. The UEFA executive committee made the decision after a successful pilot at the Super Cup between Bayern Munich and Sevilla in Budapest on September 24. Social distancing will be mandatory for fans and precautionary measures such as wearing masks will be required in accordance with local regulations amid the coronavirus pandemic. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: "Today's decision is a sensible first step which puts fans' health first and respects the laws in each country. "While we all face a common enemy in COVID, different countries have different approaches and different challenges at any given moment. "This decision allows much more local flexibility to deal with admitting fans than was previously the case, always respecting the assessment of local authorities. "Twenty-seven countries on the continent already allow fans to some extent. This decision will allow for a coherent approach on a country-by-country basis and not on a competition-by-competition basis which was sometimes difficult to understand for fans. "In these difficult times, it is important to bring more hope and passion back into the lives of football fans and we urge them to behave appropriately and respect sanitary measures in place for their own health and for the health of their fellow club or national team supporters."

Just hearing that if we beat Benfica we get to put Portugal on our mantlepiece.

5-1 FGS Kent

Tav by a fair bit for me tonight. Thought he was absolutely superb going forward and defensively. Wee mention in dispatches Hagi as well.

Not really sure what the issue is with my description if I’m honest? We’re all adults after all ??‍♂️

I’m sure he’ll be fine. Out of interest how would you describe his performance tonight?

Struggling to believe how badly Morelos is playing tonight! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it! Absolutely fuckin gash!

A shade earlier there and Morelos was clear

LIKE A FUCKING SALMON!!! ??

Boooom!!! Thought he was miles off...

Decent enough first half where on balance we could and probably should be one or two up. First 15 they couldn’t get out their half but as the game went on it became more even. Goldson doing what Goldson does, luckily they didn’t notch from his now regular mistake a match!I wouldna mind a look at the pictures he must have of Stevie G in what must be a seriously compromising position!

Amazing how form can drop so dramatically in the space of five minutes. First 15 the couldn’t get near us??‍♂️

Undroppable almost selling the jerseys again...

Brilliant start here, this lot look pretty shell shocked. Defensively shaky from what we’ve seen so far...

Often wonder if Mr Souness would still be held in such godlike esteem had that league decider v the sheep not gone our way...

Thought Jones mighta done enough to win a start with his performance at the weekend but I suppose Motherwell are no Galatasaray. His work off the ball possibly not what it should be?

1-0 FGS Tav

Simply beautiful. We need more of this, a lot more.

Good luck to him, hope he flourishes there.

That looks like just the job for Andy the photo Dr on Twitter. He’ll colour that photo for you perfectly!

Gone for Tav for all the reasons stated above
