Caixinha speaks better English than Jackson; I imagine that that will go, too, for his command of the written word. Caixinha has, in all likelihood, forgotten more about football, football coaching, tactics, and formations than Jackson knows, or is ever likely to know. Caixinha is a highly qualified coach, with considerable, interesting, and varied experience behind him. Jackson is a shill for an anti Rangers publication, which seems to be beholden to fhilthfc for its ideology and for finance. Jackson is a ned with a keyboard.

Bill Leckie is a poor excuse for a football writer. However, he does keep on message: make Garner's 'behaviour' the story, rather than the footnote it is.

My advice, my friend, is to get used to it.

10:30pm, as far as I can see. By that time, the story of the game will have been so revised that one might well doubt that it ever happened.

Another fecund liar; Scottish fitba' is festooned with them. There is no doubt that Garner was 'nutted' twice, although Jack actually employed little force in either. Garner exaggerated the impact. Still a red card for Jack, for 'Violent Conduct'.

Sportsound: Michael Stewart - Aberdeen could/should have had penalty in 1st half. Wilson on McGinn. Escaped me. By 10.30 tonight, the party line will be "Rangers should have lost, only refereeing incompetence allowed the win."

Well, it seems that they are only sheep shagging bastards, after all.

So far, it is a game of two halves, as they used to say.

Lafferty feigned contact. Garner was butted twice. Neither blow should have decked him, I agree, but it was "violent conduct". If Garner had been the aggressor, he would have walked, of that I have no doubt.

It was "violent conduct" by the red scumbag.

Should be one up. Two bites of the cherry, and ballsed up both.

If Garner had acted like Jack - red card for sure.

"Unsolidified stool", if you want another opinion.

Provan is not a 'pundit', and never will be. His commentary contributions range from the anodyne to the meaningless, with the odd diversion into the bleedin' obvious. It astonishes me that he remains in a job.

I would not bet against him getting a significant 'contribution'. Nor would I bet against the piggery becoming the "National" Stadium, with the SFA and SPFL as tenants.

Spiers is a prick. If anyone must communicate with him, ask when, if ever, volubly displaying, in his words, "a natural denominational antipathy" towards a Baptist Minister becomes religious bigotry.

The culprit was tinned corned beef: 1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1964 there was an outbreak of typhoid in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The first two cases were identified on 20 May 1964; eventually over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital in Urquhart Road, but no fatalities resulted. Dr Ian MacQueen, the Medical Officer of Health for Aberdeen, became well known in the media for his twice-daily briefings.[1][2] The outbreak was eventually traced to contaminated tinned corned beef from South America made by Fray Bentos and sold in the city's branch of the Scottish grocery chain William Low. Pollution from the waters of the Uruguay River (which flows into the Río de la Plata) appeared to be the source of the contamination, probably through water entering a defective tin through a small puncture. The infected meat then contaminated a meat slicing machine within the William Low shop, leading to the spread of the disease.

The guttersnipe Lennon is in no position to "demand" anything from the SFA, quite frankly. The second article, from the pages of the Gherald, is another in a decades long, tedious series of apologias, from the Scottish print and other media, for the behaviour of the Lurgan Neanderthal. I have heard dozens, possibly scores, of vindications over the years, and each one has emphasised this creature's intellect, his singular charm, his exemplary deportment, and his possession of every other conceivable virtue, short, merely, of miracle-making. I have thought from the first, and still think now, seeing no reason to change my view, that his pals in the press, on radio, and on television, quite simply, doth protest too much.

Connor Sammon an "ace". Ffs. Finally, the Scottish sporting media has left me lost for words.

I didn't say that. I said that this country couldn't qualify for a beetle drive at the Church Hall, a figure of speech, to compare, perhaps unkindly, the success of Portuguese players at recent competitions to that of our National XI, which has failed to qualify for any tournament since the days of yore.

Portuguese players won the last Euros. We, sitting in a country which couldn't qualify for a beetle drive at the Church Hall, should not be so quick to slate players from Portugal.

Did the Portuguese not win the last Euros? (PS Hugo Sanchez)

Gowf sticks? The winner will be a badly dressed millionaire, with expensive dentistry. Perm any one from the field.

Indeed. I said on the other thread, but it might be more appropriate here: This year the team has stagnated. There has been no discernible, sustainable progress on the playing front. A stagnant pool. That is the best description of current circumstances. Therefore, and any way you look at it, PC needs to redd out his playing staff at the end of the season. That much is obvious; what is, but, perhaps, has not been so clear, is the extent of change required to make an acceptable impact; it needs to be significant. Ideally it would be. Realistically, however, constraints on finance, and on available time (Europa Qualifiers will arrive precipitately), will militate against a quick turn around. The process of change will be, perforce, incremental, over this summer, and that of 2018. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have to settle for some moderate change, and consequently modest progress next season. I do hope that I am wrong here.
