    Ian Holloway to be announced as new Well manager. Happy with that, should be interesting at least.

    If true, it will be interesting to hear tomorrow if Kenny MacIntyre and the Sportsound crew can drag themselves away from talking exclusively about the ugly sisters long enough to talk about it, let alone have an informed discussion about it.

    Nothing other that had a bit of banter whilst the Thistle player ran through to score their second. 

    Not having that - you know exactly what he was doing.

    His actions were needless and unsportsmanlike following the decision by his manager.

    In the interests of balance, huge huge kudos to Michael Beale for the decision to allow Thistle to score in the circumstances.

     

  3. In the nineties, when I was often invited to so called Sportsmens' dinners through my then employer, I remember going to an Ally McCoist testimonial event where Ian Botham spoke. For auction that night was the shirt that he scored his overhead kick v Hibs at Celtic Park in the final of the League Cup. Went for over 3k if memory serves well.

    Not more than six weeks later, I was invited to another McCoist testimonial event.

    Guess what was up for auction that night?

    Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have the two bigot brothers on here.  RA Cellic are Scottish Football to the pair of them.  All fairness to the one Rangers supporter on here now (rest have been HUNted off).  Problem is that the bigots will always win because of mass (no pun intended).  The pair of them don't actually hate Rangers.  They hate the rest of Scottish Football.

    I've no idea whether or not you are a bigot, but by heavens you certainly are a tedious poster.

    Could you please do the TA board a service by taking a long walk off of a short pier?

    Aye.  The pundits all know nothing about football.  Even although most of them have played and/or managed at the top level.  But what do they know?  There is a simple answer.  Don't watch them.  I watch them and enjoy their views whether I agree with them or not.  I played all my life and coaching now.  I have also been married.  But I can understand the workings of a woman's thoughts than I can understand the rules on penalties.

    What happened to you leaving the TAMB so that we could keep Jersey Jim?

    Speak for yourself

    The Balkans has always featured in the history of both World Wars and indeed the Balkan Wars of the 90s had it's throwbacks to WW2 when Croatia sided with the Nazis

     

     

    Congratulations on your grasp of Balkan history.

    My point was a general one related to the Balkan national football teams.

    An innocent comment that has been comprehensively belittled by your intellectual superiority.

  7. Croatia - a country many of us couldn't have located on a map before 1992.

    Since then, they've shown us how to achieve at major football tournaments and then some. That's the Scotland I aspire to.

    During Italia 90 we travelled to Genoa from Menton in the South of France and had a carry out the size of a house like everyone else

    However once we got to Genoa there was no alcohol on sale anywhere

    Pubs were open but only selling non alcoholic beverages

    I believe the ban might have been lifted for the game against Brazil in Turin

    There were alcohol bans at France 98 mainly involving "British" (England) teams and i also believe there was due to be one in Bordeaux but it was lifted when the French realised Scotland fans were much different to England fans 

    Without in any way intending to question your perception of events Ally, I can assure you that was not my experience in Genoa on the days of both the Costa Rica and Sweden games.

    Surely not. South American football fans wouldn't take that too well. Didn't a Columbia player get shot for scoring an O.G. a few years back? They'd need new identities if that got out.

    Andres Escobar - shot dead after the 94 WC.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrés_Escobar

    'In the UK, the BBC issued a public apology after its football pundit Alan Hansen commented during the World Cup's Round of 16 match between Argentina and Romania that "The Argentine defender wants shooting for a mistake like that," on 3 July, a day after the murder of Escobar.'

    Did the "Indy Ref 2" thread get nuked by the mods ?

    If it finally gets rid of the toxic poster that is thplinth, then it's worth it.

    Big Ramy got 21 days, and he at least has a sense of humour and a little bit of humility about himself.

    thplinth wouldn't know a ball if skelped him in the face, he's always looking to hit the man with personal abuse.

    Just seen that former Clash and PiL guitarist Keith Levene has died.

    John Lydon was scathing about him in his autobiography but he was a major part of the early, groundbreaking PiL sound. Very sad news indeed. 🙁

    Rotten week all round for the music industry:

    Dan McCafferty

    Rab Noakes

    Mimi Parker

    Keith Levene

    Nick Turner

    All taken.

    I suspect a lot of those musicians from that era were up to all sorts. Christ, some of them even wrote songs about it - Starfucker by the Stones and Zeppelin's Sick Again spring to mind.

    Starfucker was already a bad idea when originally released on Goats Head Soup in 1973.

    It has decayed markedly with age. It is probably the worst release in their history.

    Aye they play all their matches at the Ullevall.

    All their big games anyway. 

    Last time we played in Norway in November 2013 it was in Bergen (1-0, Scott Brown).
