  1. Passed by newsagents at lunchtime and I see his interview in front page news in the Record, I think. Alfie - My Racism Hell. Note the "softening" of his name into a nice cuddly Alfie now, cleaning up his image, no longer the (alleged) love rat and obnoxious player.
  2. A fair assessment. It looked clumsy in real time and very poor when watched in slo-mo replays. Ref only had the benefit of the first look at it.
  3. No idea. It was mentioned in the earlier reports when The Ra were trying to plant their car bomb that Morelos arrived home with his pregnant wife to catch them at it.
  4. Look like Adidas Hamburg. They come in a variety of colours. Horrific trainers. I am ignoring the point where you call them sneaks. Or maybe typing that means I didn't!
  5. Unless one of them was @steveclarke then I wouldn't worry too much.
  6. I suppose that's what comes from having a first team contract with Man City at the start of your career. Someone in the Championship will probably take him and match those wages.
  7. Pretty much exact same for me. Shoot, Scoop, Match, RotR. Collected the Panini, have full sets of 1978 and 1982 up the loft. Albums aren't in great nick to be fair so doubt they are worth anything. And they have my scribbles in them with the scores from each game. I remember paying my mate 15p in 1978, a fortune in those days, for the last card I needed in 1978. Also 1978 were glue backed, you had all these 8-12 year old kids at school licking stickers with a terrible taste to them to stick in their albums. No wonder so many of my generation ended up sniffing glue! Also was wondering if anyone else played the flicking the cards with the Scottish ones and nearest to the wall won. Damaged the cards a fair bit though! Someone else mentioned the "chewing gum". WTF was that actually made from? Still ate it though. After a couple of hours you had softened it up just enough that it was chewable.....but also the size of a pea.
  8. He was having a go at Griffiths playing record for Celtic. He said Griffiths had only "played 34 of last 135 league games for Celtic" and then mentioned something about what Rodgers said when he joined and suggested Griffiths was not pulling his weight. For a start he has the numbers wrong, probably a simple mistake on his part. Griffiths has started 34 and played in 71 of last 135 league games. And there are pretty well known reasons why Griffiths hasn't played in more games. Which Boyd seems to have ignored. Which is daft because anyone who has seen the make up of the Celtic squad over the last 4 years knows that Griffiths would be in the match day squad if available.
  9. West Ham, under that devout anti-gambling person, Harry Redknapp, did the same at, I think, Man Utd on last day of the season one year. Paul Kitson got the centre and launched it right out for a throw in. Don't think there was even any attempt at calling it a pass, it almost went out where the centre line dissected the touchline, shortest possible route!
  10. It would be quite a jump for Arteta to replace a very promising young LB just signed in a 5 year deal for £25m after 6 months/1season. Who would take him, how much would they get back, that’s a big contract to have to pay up. The big negative for Tierney so far has been his injury record at the end of his Celtic career and so far with Arsenal.
  11. Indeed, but, crucially, two different managers. Kolasanic also there, at the moment, who was a freebie and would be on decent wages.
  12. Not a Scottish transfer but it looks like Arteta is lining up the PSG left back Kurzawa on a 5 year deal, either on a free in the summer or possibly for a fee in January. What that means for Tierney I don't know.
  13. I am on about 2-3 TA FB groups. The TAMB here, even in its current state of health, is a 100% better than any of them.
  14. Two episodes in and its already very scripted where everyone has their own problems outside the actual main problem of the loss of power. Given your review I doubt I will be back for the rest of it. Ive been watching Godfather of Harlem. Forrest Whittaker plays Bumpy Johnson, Harlem around 1962/3. Supporting cast of the Mafia, Nation of Islam and Malcolm X. Enjoyed season 1. I would also recommend Wu-Tang, An American Saga if anyone can get hold of it.
  15. I remember the last time Celtic and the Dons had a TAMB meltdown. Celtic called out Aberdeen who were on their toes quicker than you could say "A single to Holland please". Lets see if same happens here. RIP Rossy. Aberdeen always running away.
  16. I’m sorry but why does “simple physics” tell you it had to be off his arm? Why can’t it come of his hip or his side or some other part in the middle of his body? He’s slightly ran across the path of the ball. Any deflection of him is going to deflect the ball in the direction it went. We all know it was of his arm, now. After having the chance to see replays of it. Rangers seem to be heading down the road of implying it was the worst and most obvious error ever made in an OF game. I wonder why that is?
  17. Gerrard’s going to look a bit of tit with his celebrations if they don’t go on and win the league now. Then again, after winning the World Cup and Champions League yesterday who needs a SPL title?
  18. Used to do it years ago, the offers available now seem minuscule compared to what you used to get. Laddies, Hills, Corals were all £100 bonus for new accounts. Like DD said, the Bet365 offers were great but then they stopped me getting any bonus offers from them due to me rinsing that offer so often. Now I maybe do £5/10 on a coupon at the weekend. That’s it. To be even remotely successful you have to have multiple accounts, a good idea of calculating your own prices and lots of time on your hands. Too much time involved in all that for me to take it seriously enough.
  19. Wouldn't actually let them in the Scotland end. You're wearing the oppositions top, fuck off to their end Hamish.
  20. Read Morbo and a similar one about German football, Tor, years ago. Both very good.
  21. Not a book but Wu-Tang - An American Saga is a great watch. Available from all the usual places 👍
  22. Sorry sir, never been that far “west” for any games in Italy. I’m mainly North East and down to Bologna and Emilia-Romagna. I’m heading back to Venezia again in March, had a great time there last November, went to a game on a boat! A few of the lads we met were in Rimini and San Marino on the Sunday. Seen a poster on European Football Weekends (Facebook Group) who had just been to the latest Genoa derby and said he got tickets quite easily. One of the original members of the North of Italy TA is a Samp fan but I’ve only met him once. My other mates across there, who were also with me in Rimini, will still be in contact with him and also know a fair bit so yes, if you are going to head to it, I can ask for info for you. The books a very good read. Follows the history of Cosenza ultras but is interspersed with a lot on other notable teams, notable incidents, the swing in the politics and also the criminal element (diabolik at Lazio and Juve mafia). Some of the incidents and police stuff are nuts. There is a fair bit about the incident in Sicily which led to the “lockdown” of our game in Bari a few weeks later. Leaves you shaking your head at the outcome.
