I've never heard the adenoidal Keevins say anything remotely favourable about MFC. He's there to buff up the Ugly Sisters and I've never been convinced his football knowledge extends much beyond their squads. Scottish football's churnalists and presstitutes generally constitute the bottom layers of football writers in the UK, with very few exceptions.

I done exactly the same, I think the number of Hospital and dental appointments in the shire that day was thousands above normal levels. As you say bad refereeing and play acting taking advantage of our European naivety back then, I think Rab Shannon still has a 3 match Uefa ban to serve after his red card that day 🤣

You deserved a medal not a written warning!

There will be lots of managers getting sacked or resigning this time of year, so I wouldn't read anything into any of them. As for Jack Ross, according Wikipedia, he is working as a coach in Newcastle's academy.

And a terrible deal if you are the employee charged with securing sponsors. Money talks sadly. Not sure many fans would opt for the sponsor shirt if they had the option to go sponsor free. I think they sell kids' tops without sponsor names but that is as far as the leeway goes. Can't have a six year old advertising gambling sites etc I guess. Or alcohol in the good old days.

Some role at Newcastle scouting was the last I heard of Jack Ross...

Stephen Pressley has resigned from his position at Brentford? Surely to god no!!!! whatever happened to Jack Ross, remember a few years ago he was seen as the great hope of Scottish football coaching? I always thought he seemed decent but I think he’s fell off the earth.

Great deal for the fans, terrible deal if you are a shirt sponsor.

The only way to achieve this is to have a kit with no sponsor at all. Who's going to sponsor a kit when their company name isn't on the front? Where's the incentive for them? As much as I agree with you that a sponsor free kit would be great and would sell well I think the loss of sponsorship would be more costly to the club.

I got a written warning from work because I took the day off sick to attend this game. the fact i’d taken unauthorised leave to go to Dortmund probably didn’t help matters either right enough. Rotten game, ruined by play acting and a shocking referee

Whatever blend of C&A the new kit turns out to be, it will undoubtedly be ruined by some tacky sponsors logo plastered all over it. Start giving the fans an opportunity to buy a sponsor free version I'm sure it would be a big seller.

A wee trip in Europe 1994/95

They undoubtedly had some experienced players but most of these were on a downward curve, careerwise. I cannot think of any of them who went on to bigger and better things after the playoff defeat. Collectively they were a shambles and, always a sign of a poorly coached side, less than the sum of their parts as a team.

Pretty much so. The excact phrase used was "We remain in dialogue with all remaining players, whose personal circumstances are all different. Given the current managerial situation at the club, decisions will be made in the coming weeks with regards to these players. Thats somewhat different to how we've phrased it in previous seasons i.e. the reference to "personal circumstances". That hints at a range of different factors at play. It also contradicts what Michael Wimmer said prior to the Ross County game; something along the lines of he was clear who he wanted to retain and who he didn't. These players' contracts will expire on Saturday. I can only assume that Shane Blaney wanted to move on; and that the club was 100% clear about Ross Callachan and Mark Ferrie having no future with us or they wanted to move on.

Did they not say that was due to the fact we don't have a new manager yet? I assume the club will be looking to get someone in post as soon as possible. Davor kind of hinted he was off on his socials.

Good post. I think we've limited our options for bringing in fresh faces by re-signing both SOD and McGinn. In hindsight, mistakes made when renewing their contracts earlier. Hopefully, we won't see SOD in central defence this coming campaign. Undeniably, the defence badly needs an overhaul and more of the same simply won't do. Any overhaul should also involve the wing back positions and defensive midfield. The current and very odd muddied situation with some contract renewals such as Seddon, Casey, Thompson, Davor and Paton isn't helping.

I’ve heard that the strip is kind of like a continual blend of our colours merging whatever the hell that means… maybe that’s like amber flowing gradually down into claret or the other way round sounds interesting anyway

Education isn't for everyone

Despite the fact Rangers had been poor all season and finished 3rd the media were all convinced they would be back the next season Remember Stephen Craigan after one of the games being interviewed and his chat went something along the lines of it's been Rangers this , Rangers that . Rangers will be back next season , derby games are back This is of course what made it even more enjoying

We never wore black shorts in the 50/60’s……..shorts were always white until 1968 According to Historical football kits …….we wore black shorts as away strip with home top 1927-29 and with home kit just after War 1947/8

Balmer as a back up centre half on his own is fine. The fact we have signed up McGinn and SOD as well is the problem. We dont know how many games McGinn is going to be able to play, and I think we all agree (even those of us who think he isnt as bad as he is made out) that SODs appearances should start to be limited as a back up player. That leaves only Gordon as a first pick centre half with little room for manoevre. Especially if we sign Casey on again. If we want to improve the defence we really need to freshen it up. Unless a new manager and Jordan McGhee as CDM becomes some sort of magic bullet.

Whilst that is true, and THAT Rangers team wasnt the same level as some of their past teams, looking at their starting line up at Ibrox, it wasnt a team of young boys and diddies. There was as much exprerience in their line up as ours, and they were certainly being paid a lot more money than our lot. Didnt we also lose to them in the League Cup their under McCall the year before?

You’re correct. I accidentally typed 4 dots instead of 3. I look forward to pointing out simple punctuation mistakes in your future posts. In fact, your comment is missing a comma. It should be “3 dots, no?”. We all make misteaks.
