"green has denied he has even spoke to the lad. " Would Green have to see or speak to the lad before he signed? He'd have to approve the deal right enough but minions would do the rest of the ork.

Question: do young Scots have the right attitude to take foreign coaching or is the boozer, bookie's and snooker hall culture too embedded in our nature?

"most of the Juventus team looked fit and athletic" As the late Bob Crampsey used to say "they even run out of the tunnel better than we do". A lot of Sottish players especially the ones under five foot eight look musclebound.

" ..... how could you buy Willie Waddell?" And one for my auld faither: "Poor Charlie Shaw, he never saw Whaur Alan Morton pit the baw"

When's the programmme on?

There's definitely a "get Traynor" campaign. Speirs was at it on Saturday. And was Speirs not the "succelent lamb" guy?

And another thing while I'm ranting. Defenders shouldn't be allowed to shepherd the ball over the byeline for a goal kick with their arms stretched out. Under the rules as they used to be, an attacking player was entitled to charge through an opponent facing his own goal. Saw Billy Simson do it. And Waddell. And Kichenbrand.

I don't care how the tims get beat but from a general point of view arm flapping and jersey pulling is comparatively new - last ten/fifteen years. And, yes, football is a contact sport but there was never a harder man than Harry Davis and you never saw him dancing about like a prima ballerina. A player can use his strength to get to the ball ahead of his opponent but standing in front of your man with your back to the flight of the ball is obstruction. It's a man's game, not a jessies' one. Having said all that it couldn't have happened to a better man than Hooper.

It's got to stop. All this girly pushing and shoving - I'm fed up with it. You didn't get a game in the playground if you did that . It's become almost a fashion thing. They'll be clutching cartons of coffee next.

Somebody bought the shares, though.

"il celtic furioso" - situation mormal then.

I wish they wouldn't call him "Coisty" Can you imagine "Struthie"? Get you a life ban.

Speirs on Radio S on Saturday kept repeating the new mantra that Rangers' PR is aggressive , inept and tabloid style. Is he jealous of JT for getting the job? What's more we've to stop blaming Dundee Utd. fans for the sins and ommissions of Whyte. Did anyone do that?

We keep hoping for this but it rarely happens. Barce, Manchester United, Real never quite dish out the hammerings expected from them.

Just wait 'til the Liverpool Echo comes for him.

Never thought I would ever say this but here goes: "Good on you, Coun'eee"

Best non-goal. Super holds that record as well as all his others. At Pittodrie pre-Souness. Somebody lumps the ball out of defence towards Ally positioned with his back to the goal he's attacking, half way in from the left touchline about 25 + yards from goal, closely superintended by Willie Miller. Ally chests it down, instant foot control and a turn easing Miller out of the way and a right foot screamer high into the Aberdeen net with Leighton rooted on the goal line. What a goal! But no - away out on the right half way to Peterhead, Durrant or Cooper is standing offside under the old rules. Goal chalked off. Miller was a top defender. That sort of thing didn't often happen to him.

Do Eck and Billy Davis not share the same distinction of getting the hoof from Forest? I would like an early successor to Super but not either of those two.

We're toffs, mate. Only top quality silverware matters.

"to be fair i think he will have many offers from teams in leagues well above us" Probably celtic.

John Greig was a legend as a player. No greater Ranger. But he couldn't manage. Might have succeeded if he had started low and worked his way up. Ferguson and O'Neil did that. Even Billy McNeil had some success and he started at Clyde. Lesson there for Super.

It is indeed 29th June. 'Gers will be having a special one later.

Sorry. Thought it was June.

"Looking forward to Armed Forces Day already" I think it's during the close season.

Reserving judgement is perfectly normal. Looks as though Mackenzie was over-matched.
