  1. DMAA This was what I referred to. I'm sure there was an alteration to the match report. Will look it up later / have to go just now. edit You are right,...there was no change. Must be something else I'm thinking of,...memory is going down the tubes !!
  2. They have no comeback: ........................Add to the charge sheet It reminds me of the reporting of the Sheep penalty award in the Aberdeen game (post-split) last season. We did something similar on here to the above quote (text, not a graphic) and low and behold, BBC Scotland actually changed the wording of their article.
  3. Most probably Grant Russell (ex-STV) or Alan Burrows
  4. I didn't say it did. IMO Tom English has proved himself to be biased 'as charged', especially over the last 7 years. That doesn't mean everything he writes or says should automatically be taken that way, even if within there is an apparently negative slant on X or Y. Of occasion, the negative slant will be merited, on others not so. What actually happens if you try to pin everything on him, he is given an 'out'. In other words, if you want to go after him (or whoever), only do so when you are sure of your ground and he has no credible comeback. Only use issues with little to no dubiety over a 'reasonable verdict'. In this particular case, it isn't something to put on the metaphorical charge sheet. It's more something to log and file away as it might provide useful further down the line. eg. This thread is an excellent resource wrt the 'ongoing situation' with BBC Scotland and keeps a record of what has gone down, including this article. .........You could have a sub-thread or simply a C&P file, logging events or whatever against programmes/individuals/other which could make a 'charge sheet'...... Then you have a very useful tool.
  5. SG has to impress on the players not to rise to the bait that will be hung by Motherwell players. They'll especially target Morelos and Jack (if they play).
  6. Another good thing about our team now is that we won't be bullied. Making it into a battle won't favour them as it did last season.
  7. This is Ufa's first ever European tie where they play away from home in the first leg. I think we may see the bus or Iron Curtain getting parked on the edge of the penalty area. In the first leg of the first tie, they decided to use the Walter Smith book of European tactics and only managed two shots on target in a 0-0 home draw. They went behind in the second leg but had enough about them to come back and get the late away goal (a la Panathonaikis 2008). In the next tie, I watched part of the game and it wasn't that difficult to breach the Progres defence but in their excitement left the backdoor open on a number of occasions but where only punished with one late away goal. Showed a degree of naivity. In the second leg they went behind twice but again had enough about them to get the late away goal that took them through. So in their four games to date, they've only been ahead in one of them, for 62 minutes in the first game aainst Progres. So thus far, they have got a lot from not a lot.

  8. Ian, is that you in the video at 10mins 25sec's ?
  9. Maybe for a giraffe.........
  10. I think the gambling problems merit a mention tbh. Not to focus on by themselves, but to show that since he went public about it he has managed to mature and put in an excellent season on the park. I'd guess that the two things are connected. SG appears to be an excellent man-manager and I doubt that will have escaped his notice.
  11. 10 games in 32 days was always going to test/expose the squad #Thin Motherwell will spend part of their preperation for Sunday sharpening their studs.
  12. Yes and much better with Barasic, but obviously not for tonight. If Wallace is going to stay, he'll be on the bench most of the time.
  13. Wallace isn't going to make his first start in X months in a game as important as this.
  14. I don't think SG has much choice but to go with that XI (if fit) and it shows that we are currently thin. Up until now it has been difficult to second guess a SG side.
  15. I thought it would be between 450K - 550K. It was always going to be in this ball park. The fannying around with 200K was a waste of time and luckily, wee Alfie isn't one to get frequently injured.
  16. Outside bet that Wallace might be on the bench but I think it'll be Halliday. If we can't shift Wallace, it'd make sense to reincorporate him into the sqaud (if he's reasonable about ongoing issues). Big and physical, he fits Gerrards type of defender.
  17. I've already put down what I think will be the starting XI, anyone see it differently ? McGregor Tav Goldson Katic Flanagan Candeias Jack Arfield Ejaria Kent Morelos I reckon Jack got rested at the weekend at Rugby Park because Coulibaly is going to miss the next few games and we can't afford to miss Jack. I'd expect Halliday to start in the game against Motherwell this weekend.
  18. They are more like a cheap whore who has just turned 50. She knows she'll have to do anything asked of her for less money than when she used to say no.
  19. Somebody tell him to get off the internet and simply score goals on the 2nd of September and naebody will even remember anything aboot it.
  20. Am I the only one who is sick of the sight of GIf after GIF, it's like a cartoon network messageboard for the under 12s FFS. I used to find that RS usually had something to say worth listening to, now it's only GIF overkill. It can be fun if used when it really suits an answer and is actually funny but..........
  21. Going into a big 10 days this is what we have available............. Get the feeling Coulibaly won't make it and I don't think Sadiq will be considered for a start. ------------------------------- As far as the transfer window goes. The search for at least one more cenre-half continues If it were a CH plus only one more, I'd go for a number 10 type creative player. -------------------------------- Latest paper talk
  22. Good to have it done and another option. Helps put pressure on Alfie to keep finding the net, gives us another option out left and in certain circumstances, for going two up top.
  23. The clubs voted on it. For any change, it's up to the member club(s) to push for another vote and lobby for support.
  24. Does the term 'Advertising Feature' come at the top of that article ? Puff piece for the PLC.
