  1. I know what Cyberflix is from a quick Google but what is FireDI please?
  2. C’mom Scotty 😂 Saying has sources who aren’t wrong and then makes allegations about a manager who turns out wasn’t even here at the time. That’s just spouting pish!
  3. 😂😂 Shouldn't let little things like a completely different manager get in the way of some fantasists conspiracy theories!
  4. I can give a neutral point of view which will be more balanced than a (Liverpool) fans point of view. Never heard one professional pundit or player decscribe him as world class. Seeing you are using the plural I’m surely you will be able to give 5 or 6 example. Most Man Utd fans would accept a lot of players in front of Luke Shaw, that doesn’t mean those replacements are world class though does it? If world class is defined as preferable to Luke Shaw then there a lot of world class players out there. Robertson is a very good player. He’s no David Alaba or Marcelo though. Just seen you have just linked to Transfermrkt, think we can close this discussion at that point.
  5. Correct, he isn’t world class. Your definition is wrong. You are basing it on the (biased) views of one clubs fans on who they want to have playing for them. That’s never been how you define “world class”.
  6. I would be very surprised if Rangers aren't paying a decent chunk of his wages simply for the reason that Bournemouth could probably get a team in the Championship to take him on loan and pay a decent chunk of his wages. They aren't going to let him go to Rangers and them pay 10% when they could get say a Stoke willing to pay 40-50% probably. They have just brought Solanke in from Liverpool, a £19m signing probably commands a decent salary even if not at Defoe levels, I would think they are a team who want to try and balance their incomings with their outgoings to be honest.
  7. Yes, watch it a fair bit. Me and one of my laddies watch MOTD most Sunday mornings. He is an Arsenal fan. We have been to see them in London and 3 times in the North East of England. We are both also in a FF league so a lot of MOTD viewing is based around seeing what points we could have had. Will watch a decent bit of EPL on Sky when I can. i watch the odd Scottish/Celtic game but not very often. For my sins I also watch, and enjoy, CL football on BT too. Shoot me now. When I was younger I used to go and watch Newcastle a fair bit due to where I lived. Most of my mates were Rangers fans so it was a team we could go and watch together. I still look out for them and watch them the odd time live. To balance it up a bit, my oldest is a Pars season ticket holder for the last couple of seasons but has little to no interest in any other football. My and my next lad, the Arsenal fan, are out and about most weekends at a local game. Our Saturdays can sometimes consist of lunchtime EPL game, local game (I have a Kelty season ticket but attend other games in the area too if they are away), teatime EPL game. My youngest plays on a Sunday but rarely watches football.
  8. Apparently the two Jambo’s lifted for the Motherwell game have been cleared?
  9. Paid for my 5 seats on bus 12 Davy, cheers!
  10. That was a grim watch. Neither side seemed up to much tonight.
  11. Can I have 5 seats please Davy. That number may increase by 1 or 2 but still waiting on them confirming so only 5 at present. Thanks very much for organising this.
  12. Claims he called him a Manc C**t. Been banned from Chelsea and supposedly lost his job. On a similar note, does anyone have any idea what the 2 Hearts fans were supposedly chanting at the Motherwell player? I have heard it suggested that they were singing "Stand up if you hate Kickback".....Any Jambo's got any opinions?
  13. I was at Walters first game for Rangers, at Parkhead. Horrific day when you look at it now but at the time it was, well Scotland as a whole wasn’t as well educated and it was a “novelty”, not really the right word, for black players to be playing in Scotland. One of the tabloids, can’t think which one now, even joked about the east end of Glasgow being sold out of bananas beforehand. And yes, as SEM says above, there was at least one person in the Celtic end hoisted up on the crush barriers dressed in full gorilla suit. Walters, shamefully, got pelters. My mate copped a quite ripe banana on his shoulder as we stood in the middle of the Jungle. I was also at the game, a pre-season in 1986, v Aston Villa, where the ooo ahh up the Ra chants started. Originally it was a % of the Jungle making monkey chants at the black Villa players including Paul Elliot and Tony Daley amongst others. There was other examples. Gullit I am sure says his worst racist abuse received was at Love St. And if you want a real eye opener, go onto YT and watch us beating England 1-0 in 1985 at Hamden. I always look back on that game fondly, second Scotland game, 1-0 win over England. Went to watch the highlights again recently, the abuse the likes of Viv Anderson got was dreadful. But if I hadn’t watched those highlights again I would never have believed it. I was oblivious to it at the time. 2.30 in and a LOT of chants about Sambo at Anderson, 3.30 in he gets dogs abuse again. Shameful. There have been some recent incidents but they are more isolated. Not excusing them but we, as a people and country, have definitely came a long way since the mid 80s. Or most of us have.
  14. Brilliant! 😀😀 Don’t let silly things like facts get in the way of your insightful comments.
  15. I have no reason to lie. You have made an absolute fandan of yourself on here and FB claiming that ron is RH. I have told you plenty of times who RH is and his post just above this confirms that. Just give it up.
  16. He is. Ormond has made an absolute tit of himself continually thinking RH is ron. He isn't. Not at all. Totally different posting styles for one but also the fact that ron would have, willingly, outed himself a long time before now if he had came back on here as RH. RH, also, I am sure, maybe lived in D Bay or Inverkeithing for a short while. But he certainly isn't ron.
  17. I've been in Bologna twice this year for football (April and a weekend before last), 3 nights both times, and its a great city. Will drop you a message with some tips. Weekend before last had a cracking AirBNB just off the main nightlife street.
  18. Trenitalia. Its starts in Italian but you can change the language to English in top right.
  19. 3 of us Edi - Milan, £55 a head, another 2 £70 a head. Booked trains from Milan to Rimini - £60 return. Night in Milan and 2 in Rimini.
  20. Would probably be my preference too. I think KT is a great player but he feels like half the player he should be when playing at RB. Forrest excellent last night, 3 very good, composed, confident finishes. He certainly seems a confidence player. Both him and Fraser should have nailed down the wide positions now, no more pandering for one paced players like Snodgrass etc. Never been his biggest fan but thought Fletcher had a great game last night, certainly outside the box. Won loads in the air including the flick in lead up to the 2nd goal. Great alround graft from him, just wish he could Forrest like add some goals to his game. The ability of Armstrong and Christie to an extent to run straight forward with the ball is a biggie for us. Teams set up well to defence don't like players "breaking the lines" and getting in behind them. Both can do so well and you can see the impact it can have on teams. Good win but have to question the subs, or certainly Matt Phillips. Don't think I have ever seen a worse 20 mins of football. And that includes the lad who claimed to be George Weahs cousin. Fine if you want to bring on Shinnie to try and shore up midfield a little, maybe then put Armstrong or Christie in the "10". No Phillips. Who seemed to play in a dazed and confused state, wandering around and watching players 3 or 4 yards away stroll past him without putting in any effort of challenge. He then somehow managed to be the deepest player in defence and play them all on at the chance McGregor pulled off a great save on. WTF was he doing back there. Finally, with a chance to kill the game, he sold possession at least twice in the final 5 mins or so. A horror show and certainly contributed to it being more nervy than it should have been. There did seem to a lack of "smart" play in that last 10 mins including injury time. Players just lumping the ball as far up the park as possible FFS. It took McKenna to come out and go past someone and go down to get a foul and kill the game off in the last min or so thankfully.
  21. I thought it was more the current Celtic set up with McGregor and Christie deeper and Armstrong ahead. It’s odd that it works because neither is an obvious defensive player in terms of protecting the back 4. Both get forward as well, especially Christie last night and in that formation v Leipzig and Hearts recently where he has made big contributions. Whatever, it worked last night and I wouldn’t change any of the line up for Tuesday. I do think Paterson struggled and also possibly isn’t the answer at RB longer term but then I don’t know who is?
  22. Or Christie seeing as it was him who played beside McGregor and not Armstrong.
