Devil's advocaat

I'd prefer a Klos that can kick 😉

Not really comparing apples with apples. In 1970 the world Cup was one of 2 or 3 televised football events, with 'exotic' players that were relatively unknown. Pele himself was a bit of an unknown, how often did we get to see him play? Every 4 years? (Genuine question, not a criticism, I was born in 75!). Fast forward to the absolute overdose of world football that we have now, it doesn't really have that 'special' feeling that it did in the good old days, we get to see Messi et al on a weekly basis. I've always thought it a bit bizarre that Messi was judged against Pele, Maradona etc negatively, as he hadn't won a world Cup, As if thats an individual acheivement. Indeed, even the great Pele never really tested himself domestically outside of his own country. It was an awesome world Cup in Qatar, whether it was as good as another one half a century ago is pretty much irrelevant.

Can't? Nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we will, but I don't get the hype over that lot, a couple of dropped points, the Greek and the Croat leave, it's game on. Never over.

It'll be interesting how that lot line up, after thinking we were there for the taking last time, then cowering in fear against the pot lickers at the weekend. Intae thum.

Skill? They just run into each other, between pie breaks. It's even worse than the posh folks rugby.

'Southgate is to remain as England manager. Of course he is, he couldn't possibly get this lucky again' I think he's not a bad manager, but will he ever get a better chance again (last euros ditto)?.

I did have a chuckle at that Cammy! 🤣

Imagine scoring a hattrick in a WCF, and not getting a winners medal. Oaft.

Amazing final, delighted to see the best player I've ever seen win the big trophy.

Not half as bad as watching the god awful American football, Or the absolute dullfest that is baseball! 🤣

Just pay them all the same, then no one can have a gripe.

Aye, the SFA, a bastion of integrity. 🤣

Given that a load of them won't even be full time, I'd say they have even more of a case for a decent payment than the men. Best of luck to them.

A young right back at left back, nae centre halves and our right back carrying an injury. Let's be realistic here.

Very reminiscent. 😉

Reminiscent of the little generals debut....

If you drill down deep enough you could probably find something distasteful on pretty much every footballer, greed would definitely feature highly. I prefer to try and watch it purely as a game, naive you may say, but I don't really care to be honest. He's an absolute pleasure to watch.

Welcome to the real world.

Aye, absolutely. Lowish wages, zero outlay, if it all works out, great, if not, ho hum.

Hopefully Goodwin 'smells blood' like he did last time we played them.

Spot on Cammy. Tbh if Morelos goes, we should be fairly happy we got the goals we got from him over the time he was here for the small sum we paid for him. Aye, it would've been great to get a big fee for him, but shit happens, we can't always do a Bassey. Mibbe we should get compo, Gersnets very own Jim mclean, in as director of football....

My buddy who first told me we had gone for Beale 2.5 weeks ago also heard that we were back in for Barrie McKay btw. Really interesting comments around Goldson, Tilman and Kamara in that interview. Also, I really like to listen to Beale speak, he doesn't do the usual clichéd gaffer speak that most do.

Pish.

Did he not have a couple of good games against PSV? And he definitely had a few in the EL last season. All too infrequent though, but I wouldn't say he's done nothing.

Agreed. I genuinely think we've seen the best of Morelos, let him go, but the others may surprise us.
