With Wings you have to separate out his personality - or at least his online persona - from the work he does.

Well said

People telling lies on the doorstep is a much likelier explanation.

In a lot of ways it's no different from these mass shootings you see in the US where the perpetrator either shoots themselves or commits suicide by police. People who are seriously screwed up and really hate the world.

The probability of 100 heads in a row is the same as 50 heads then 50 tails in a row. It's not the same as having 100 heads as opposed to 50 heads and 50 tails in any sequence. Two completely different things. Any sequence of 100 coin tosses has the same probability as any other sequence. However a random distribution of 50 heads and 50 tails has a much lower probability as there are more sequences that will give that result.

Surely if MI5 were nobbling the postal vote the they would also have nobbled the exit poll as well. All sounds like bollocks to me.

Well it would look iffy, especially if there was money involved but there is as much chance of 100 heads coming up as any other combination.

Good spot, useless iPad.

If you toss a coin there is a 50% chance that it will land on heads. Even if you land 99 heads in a row, the probability that the 100th toss will be heads is still 50%. The previous coin tosses have no impact on the outcome. The fact that a plane crashes today has no impact on the probability of a plane crashing tomorrow.

Which of course is complete bollocks.

Bit of a problem for a striker that.

This lot are there for the taking.

It's probably the responsibility of the Technical Director, which of course we don't currently have.

Totally agree with this. I don't believe that the club someone plays for should mean they are an automatic pick, which is all that Brown and Strachan have said. Lets not forget that from time immemorial people complain about OF youth players being picked over players from other clubs, especially those who gave first team experience. Not comparing Celtic or Rangers to Real Madrid but the principle is the same regardless of the club. What is really worrying is what this says about Sbragia and his views of how to set up a youth team. That's actually more important than whether Jack Harper ever plays for Scotland or not.

I suspect Craig Brown has probably seen as much of Jack Harper as the majority of people on this thread.

Send the tenner to the Sunshine Appeal. If Brown thinks Gauld made a mistake going to Sporting Lisbon, it's because he didn't go to Barcelona instead. http://www.givemesport.com/417136-manchester-united-target-is-a-barcelonatype-player Might be an idea to use google to check your facts first, especially if you are slagging off our most successful international manager with both senior age age group teams.

You need to take Sponsors MOM awards with a real pinch of salt.About 10 years ago, I was fortunate enough through work to be guests of the match sponsors at Stamford Bridge for a match against Newcastle. When they spoke to us about picking the man of the match, we were basically told to pick who we wanted to get our photo taken with. It was a pretty straightforward win for Chelsea with no real standout and we picked Zola, who had scored one of the goals so was hardly controversial. A few years ago however, a mate of mine was getting married and as he was a lifelong Exeter City fan, he decided to have his stag in Exeter and would take in their home game against Oldham. I couldn't make it myself but based on what happened, I wish I had. There was around a dozen or so that went down to Exeter for the weekend and they discovered that for something like £50 a head they could sponsor the match, which would give them pre and post match hospitality and they would also pick the MoM. By all accounts it was a pretty awful game, and when with about 15 minutes to go they were asked to pick the MoM, they were stumped. Exeter were then leading 1-0, with the only goal being a penalty scored by Ryan Harley. He was one of their better players so it seemed like a safe bet. Oldham then equalised but in the dying minutes Exeter got another penalty, as Harley stepped up to take it, one of my mates said to another "what if he misses?" And of course he missed. Almost immediately after, the announcer read out in a sarcastic tone - "and the sponsors MoM is Ryan Harley", at which point the Exeter fans started booing until the ref blew for time. I think there was a bit of tension between the fans and the management anyway but it all escalated with the manager criticising the fans in the press, the Exeter equivalent of the TAMB going into meltdown, manager threatening to resign, etc.etc until it all died down. Don't believe me, here's some links to the local press from the time. Things like this are why I love football. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Grecians-boss-blasts-fans-booing-Harley/story-11805026-detail/story.html http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Boo-boys-make-team-s-job-harder/story-11416766-detail/story.html

Go to the Albion opposite Blackfriars station. LoonyAlba are having a do there for the game.

He was also subbed after 58 minutes.

Scott Allan is 23. That's no longer young for a player.

I think it was just down to the numbers of STC members at the time, certainly less than 10000. I don't recall any really massive away followings. Largest was probably Gothenburg and I doubt that was more than 3000.

First of all, it's not because he isn't physical enough, its because he isn't good enough. Secondly, for an A team qualifier against the World Champions then its all about results, for an U19 match - any U19 match - then it should be about player development. That's why Sbragia is wrong.

Okay, 70 years ago then. Mind you, if you want to see a good example of someone kicking lumps out an opponent, Berti Vogts against Cruyff in the 74 final is a good place to start. Point being I don't believe the German team is notorious for their physicality, if anything they have a tendency to go down a bit too easy. Also don't buy that Bannan was outstanding in that game either.

Notoriously physical Germans - maybe 40 years ago.
