Charlie Adam MOTM in Stoke game today.
Fair play to him for that.
-
His statement on 19th September:
"I welcome the decision of the Scottish people to maintain the unity of the United Kingdom. This outcome is good for the united, open and stronger Europe that the European Commission stands for.
The European Commission welcomes the fact that during the debate over the past years, the Scottish Government and the Scottish people have repeatedly reaffirmed their European commitment.
The European Commission will continue to engage in a constructive dialogue with the Scottish Government, in areas under its responsibility, that are important to Scotland's future, including jobs and growth, energy, climate change and the environment, and smarter regulation."
Eurospeak for
'Thank the gracious Lord Scotland didn't do the right thing and vote for independence, because the EU would have had to make policy up on the hoof to accommodate the will of the Scottish people.
We are so thankful for a no vote.'

Folk do it all the time on message boards and in discussion.
Exactly - as per the Charlie Mulgrew thread last night.
Thank you phart.

The way he got his agent to brief journalists (lie) that he was spat at and suffered sectarian abuse at tynecastle when watching Aberdeen vs St Johnstone makes him a twat to me.
Why are you answering a question that was asked of someone else, Parkie?
-
Oh, I was just thinking that a certain Mr Mcgeady might feel a wee bit intimidated a la Gareth Bale?
Forgotten the second Bale goal at Cardiff, have you?
-
Lennons a complete twat, you can quote me on that.
In you opinion, of course.
On what basis is he 'a complete twat'??
-
Dare I also suggest that Mr Charlie Adam may be ideal for this fixture? Brown, Adam and Mulgrew should be good enough for a physical battle, eh?
You are entitled to suggest it, of course you are.
But unless there is a mass flu epidemic, I would not expect Charlie Adam to be anywhere near a Scotland squad anytime soon.

Eibar look organised and tidy.
Unfortunately lost 3-0, which was harsh on them.
Messi scored his 250th La Liga goal in the process.

I caught the counter staff taking a photo of my visa card and also leaning over the counter to look at my pin number.
He even forgot my order he was that much in a fluster.
Well dodgy and texted home to get card cancelled straigt away.
Apart from that great trip.
In GORD we trust
This may seem like a daft question, but why were you using your card at the stadium?
That question asked, I saw a few odd things that went on in official places (currency exchanges) which suggested to me that regulation and enforcement in Poland isn't all it could be.
-
I do wonder though if there is not more to this absence? I mean for all we know maybe he has called time on his international career? I say that because you'd expect perhaps a reaction in the press from him for not being selected but there has not been a dicky bird from him in months. I find that a little odd.
Maybe keeping quiet because he fancies a call up and doesn't want to alienate WGS?
-
Back on topic - as runningtings alludes to, Mulgrew and Brown together in central midfield complement each other to good effect.
Mulgrew has improved tremendously as a player since he was moved from left back - he's developed another dimension to his game which has been spotted by WGS and from which the national team has benefitted tremendously.
-
So in a thread about Charlie Mulgrew, to which i have had no contribution, you post about me?
What a bizarre thing to do.
Anyway, i'm away to have a pop at you in the misheard song lyrics thread.
Toodle-pip
Aw diddums.
-
Wow. You logged on to a thread just to have a pop at me.
Not at all mate - look at the title of the thread - it's called 'Charlie Mulgrew'.
And then look at your numerous past contributions on this board about Charlie Mulgrew. They are self-explanatory.
Your inflated view of yourself is getting ahead of you once again, Parkie.
-
I think he has done well for us to be honest, plays well beside Broon.
This - but Parkie will be along in a minute to tell you that he doesn't rate him.................

Only saw brief highlights of yere games against the welsh mate
Not gonna make a prediction on either of the ireland/scotland games - just know that these will be fiercely contested tight games by 2 good teams and 2 sets of fans who want it passionately
Just on this "Irelands last minute goals" thing.......off the top of my head Ireland have only scored last minute goals just 3 times in the last 7 or 8 years .....albeit 2 of those times have been in difficult away fixtures in this group.
Think our "last minute goals thing" might be slightly blown out of proportion tbh Jeck mate
Hi Green Tide Rising - any chance you could get rid of attaching 'the greatest commercial ever' to all of your posts?
The first one was fine and acceptable..........................
-
I remember having the cheek to be disgusted when the Buds lost at home to Accies in their second game of the season.
Little did I know.
The little that you knew.
And they did the Jags the week after.
-
I meant long-term, Celtic are in decline.
Hamilton aren't though.

Top of the league clash in Albania tonight (Flamurtari v Skenderbeu).
A white dove trailing the real Albanian flag was released before the game.
At half time, a drone with the real Albanian flag circled the pitch.
A trend has begun.
-
What about this:
3 points from the next game
and then
3 points from the next game
and then
3 points from the next game.
We ARE good enough, and we have to believe we are.
Remember all those people (many on here) who felt 4 points from the opening 2 games were acceptable in the last campaign?
This time WGS has transformed the team and the way they approach the games.
I walked out of both Dortmund and Warsaw thinking that we could have got more out of both games with a little more belief in ourselves - because we are good enough. Warsaw in particular, we merited taking the lead and promptly went 'Eeehhh............what do we do now we are in the lead??'.
Well, here's a thought - how about carry on doing what you had been doing brilliantly for the first 57 minutes!!!
We can - it's about us, and not anyone else.
WGS has done an excellent job with the same core squad that the previous incumbent subdued with his negative attitude. He's instilled a mentality in these guys that is wonderful to see. They believe they can win every time they take the field - let's have the same confidence as supporters of the team.
-
UEFA have made a rod for their own back with this one - these two should have been kept well apart in the draw due to the tensions over the Kosovo issue, not to mention Serbia's previous in Genoa 2010.
Now UEFA have to decide firstly, do they replay Tuesday's fixture and if so, where and under what restrictions, and secondly, how do they guarantee safety at the return game in Elbasan next spring.
Both sides (of politicians) are complicit in Tuesday night's events, before, during and after the game. The rhetoric from them since then pretty much assures that these two fixtures cannot take place peacefully. In which case, why bother playing them at all.
And as for Michel Platini's comments today about the drone could have potentially carried a bomb - he wants to keep his mouth shut until he's researched what he's talking about. Talk about lighting the blue touchpaper.
-
0.12% - very revealing.
-
A draw is fine provided we get a draw in Dublin.
How about two wins?
In WGS we trust.
-
now that's a stadium even the toilets were like a night clubs cant wait for the polish to arrive at hampden thanks SFA for charging me a fortune to sit in an embarrassing shitehole
Got to say the toilets in G10 were pretty smelly - reminded me of Firhill on an average Saturday.

Home game for Serbia - No away fans from Albania allowed for fear of trouble
Not quite true - Albanians given 970 tickets a month or so ago.
One week later the Serbians say they want the names of recipients of the tickets,
Albanians said not a chance.
Serbians closed the border as a result.
And the rest as they say................

Parkie - on the other thread, I agreed with runningtings assessment of Mulgrew with Brown by using the word 'This'. I mentioned your name because of your well known dislike of Charlie Mulgrew as a player, presumably based on his stint at Aberdeen. It was intended to be humorous and nothing more. So a false accusation on your part there mate. You give it out, you gotta take it too.
Let's not get personal about it.
On this thread, you answered a question that was not directed at you, and in doing so (to me) you appeared to apply a different logic.
Anyway don't get stressed - nobody's dead.
I'll happily buy you a beer whenever we coincide - you sound like a guy that fancies a decent debate.
