  1. Just the face of Jesus. It’s okay, though, nobody else I know can see it either.
  2. Don’t want to derail thread but I once saw Jesus in a piece of pewter.
  3. I know this one! I know this one! It’s cos God.
  4. Just a thought (don’t tell Boris). Perhaps the Brits could let Northern Ireland go sooner rather than later. It’s gonna happen sometime. Just cut their losses. Then when the bigoted scum drift over here, they’ll all vote No to independence and then at least the establishment gets to keep its most productive cash cow and we can all suck it up, continue to bow, scrape and grovel for another 300 years. Boris gets his place in history. Okay he lost NI but he has tied up northern Britain for all eternity. God save... etc etc. 😢
  5. Meant to say, that really works for me! Thanks. 👍
  6. Surely we want to play our best players every meaningful game?
  7. Yeah, didn’t look the best. On another note, I don’t thing the commentator mentioned Jota scored that first goal, but waxed lyrical for ten minutes about the quality of Arnold’s cross.
  8. I’m Scottish. My pessimism is all I’ve got.!Let me deal with it this way.
  9. Was always gonna happen. Played a good few consecutive games for us. Now our best player out of the Euros. Aw well, expected we’d lose one of our best. Pity it’s him.
  10. There seems to be popular opinions floating about on a couple of issues that I think miss the point. Tierney should play in midfield cos he’s our best player. This is mental. He is so effective because he’s coming from deep. Yes, he’s a brilliant left back, but he’s also really effective, quite unique even, as a marauding LCB, especially against weaker teams. He would lose much in midfield in my opinion. McGregor doesn’t ping goals in from 40 yards or so flashy stuff so should be dropped. This, in my opinion, is totally failing to understand his role. He recycles the ball and feeds those around them, he is also our best option for retaining possession, so important at this level. He also intercepts balls quite a lot. Anyway, regardless of my opinion, I really don’t see Clarke dropping him. Most people’s teams on here seem to exclude him but this is unrealistic. Clarke will play him.
  11. Or the set-up for goal one tonight by... McGregor.
  12. Not to be even more pedantic but that’s not right. Gallacher is not pronounced Gallacker. Maybe if you’re English! For me, both are pronounced Gallacher.
  13. That certainly has attacking intent, I like it.
  14. Yeah, I thought it was strange too.
  15. I thought McLean played well when he came on. He seems to be getting a lot of stick but I think that’s based on peoples thoughts on him and not judging him on what he did. Thought he looked good. Doubt anyone agrees though.
  16. I don’t have any. Never said I did.
  17. See, this is nonsense. Second is well within reach. Granted we’ll need to drastically improve . But there’s lots of variables if we do find some results. No reason why Israel can’t take points off Austria. We could beat Austria. We could do better against Denmark than Austria. We were very poor. But the chat here is pish.
  18. He played in the Kilmarnock team that finished third. That’s quite near the top (just behind firs and second). And was arguably one of the top two or three performers in that team.
  19. Tierney is more a threat than Robertson, I agree. But I think once it became obvious Robertson was being snuffed out down the left, that kind of gave Tierney space to break out from defence and make his marauding runs. I think this is what Clarke envisages happening. It's another attacking front. If the left wing is being nullified, Tierney's ball-carrying gives us another option. I see no need to specifically move him to left wingback. When he goes charging up the field, there's no reason why Robertson can't sit and cover.
  20. I think two things are clear from last night: McGinn, as our one and only goal threat, needs to play a more advanced role. Chripper still hasn’t learned anything about football and his reliance on stats sites is not helping him.
  21. Christie is looking lovely. I sometimes wonder if I’m watching a different game.
