Entertaining match until the second goal. Higuain had an excellent fifteen minutes at the start then United closed off his supply line.

Are you not away the wrong road with your defcons, Bill? Defcon 1 is warfare.

They should get somebody familiar with the English language to write the statements. Club 72 have done some decent ones recently.

I wasn’t comparing ability, though. You don’t have to be a skilful footballer to do the basics and never give up. Harry Davis and Bobby Shearer couldn't do slide rule passes or nutmegs but their mental sleeves were rolled up before they ran out of the tunnel and they kept at it for ninety minutes.

There’s a lack of bloody-mindedness about the team. Richard Gough, John Brown, Stuart McCall all had a stubborn determination not to be beaten.

Not many big names left. Either Chelsea or United plus City and Wolves. i know Wolves aren’t big again yet but at least they’ got pedigree.

Can you not get a second red for a separate offence? Was there not an English game a few years ago when a player got a red card and two more for additional offences as he walked off? Violent conduct for the first red followed by foul language to the ref then foul language to the fourth official If so, there’s no reason Brown should not be given an antecedent red for the offence committed before the second yellow.

Defoe’s a finisher. The best Rangers have had for ages. But somebody else has to clear the way (Morelos) or create the chance (Morelos) Asking a lot of Alfie. That’s why the team needs a lock picker. I can’t think who that might be.

DK offer fails ..... DK has won a long battle .....

And at the final whistle.

Didn’t know that. Disgrace.

Dingwall is a Highland town. There’s a gaelic choir there. Nonetheless only a miniscule percentage of the population will be able to understand the Alba output. What’s the point?

Not quite your best, pete, but a helluva lot better than the subject of the OP.

VAA-LEN-CIA. Been running through my head all evening.

Rector, not Chancellor. I think the modern way is for students to choose he biggest goon they can think of. Plug, Soutar and Bairn would have been wasting their time.

If she’s a profit sharing member in Harper McLeod LLPG there is a conflict whether or not she acts direct for the Separate Entity Club Like No Other. You might say the same if her salary has a general profit related bonus.

It’s getting rave notices on another board.

No thanks.

It’s not just the Pele save. (I saw McCloy do something similar for Motherwell against Neil Martin of the Hibs) It’s the saves he made without the need for acrobatics because of his anticipation and sureness of catch.

Sorry. Got my mind stuck on English ‘keepers. Yashin without doubt. The other grainy legend, Khomich; Maier, Buffon, Zoff? I think it’s Banks.

Handful? Who was better? Shilton? Not quite. Frank Swift was the legend ‘keeper when I was a wee boy but you can’t make judgements from a few seconds of grainy newsreel. A chap on Talksport suggested Peter Bonetti. Fine if Haffey is the comparison but not Banks. Seaman? Not as good as Shilton? Who am I missing?

Are Hibs fans happy?

He was indeed, Compo. I suppose we’ll be deluged with more soccer grief on the airways.

“Home end” - “two men....both from Aberdeen” Couple of clues there?

That could happen. This won’t: Fulham 1-2 United Palace 2-1 Hammers Town 1-3 Arsenal Liverpool 4-1 Bournemouth So’ton 1-1 Cardiff Watford 1-2 Everton Brighton 2-0 Burnley ’Spurs 2-0 Leicester City 3-1 Chelsea Wolves 2-0 Mags
