I agree they both deserve a place and I also agree it's often difficult and pointless to compare players from different eras. I'd say guys like Wark are the exception, though. Particularly as he thrived across different eras in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

If you've never seen Joe play it's difficult to explain just how good he was. His timing of a tackle was unequaled, his passing was excellent and he was running up and down the wing before wing-backs were a thing. Despite never shirking tackle, he managed to avoid picking up a yellow card for about 20 years (until some jobsworth ref booked him when we were in the First Division). Also, unusually for full backs in those days, he had great ball skills and used to entertain us during stoppages with a few keepie-uppies and catching the ball on the back of his neck. Most impressive of all, though, was his consistency. He was on top form almost every game for his entire career and his mistakes were incredibly rare.

On one hand I completely agree the prices are far too high. On the other hand, when you see how much a club like ours relies on gate receipts, it makes it a difficult problem to solve. A difficult problem to solve, at least, while the OF still grab the lion's share of existing TV money and other prize pools and our administrators fail to bring in deals of the size that other comparable leagues manage.

Official site says no cash gates in operation for this match.

Was at home listening to the radio when the "we have a goal at Ibrox" report came in and I thought it was another lose-in-the-last-5-minutes effort.

What I'd love to see is a 3 - 0 victory with each of our goals scored by a black player who then celebrates with a "texting on an imaginary phone" gesture in front of Malky Mackay. But I'll settle for a 1 goal victory.

I thought Brian Kerr was born in Bellshill. One of the most talented natural footballers I've seen at Fir Park matched only by his ability to not give a toss most weeks and badmouthing us when he moved to Hibs. Hopefully, he's teaching the youngsters not to approach the game the same way,

I don't disagree, but we got away with Mugabi's handball which under today's rules should have been a pen.

If you were at it, the last thing you'd do is admit it. You've definitely been found out at this level of posting. Maybe need to drop down to a subreddit and see how that goes.

Agreed about McGinley. Glad to see his early season form was just a blip.

The seasons when Dundee Utd and Aberdeen were winning the league were certainly a nice change. And you could get behind them when they were playing in Europe without feeling dirty.

Looking at the table this evening, Rangers have 10pts from their last 5 games, Hibs 9pts, Hearts 9pts - and we have taken 11 pts in the last 5.

It's time Slattery got the nod. He's been one of our better players every game this season.

Agreed. I'm a big fan of Slattery already.

Opens up a tiny gap between us and fifth spot too. Every little helps.

Better than I expected, especially after conceding early. Delighted with a point.

Time added h*n

Time for a back 6... (Hopefully not).

The paper talk was right.

If we'd just scored when we had the chance it wouldn't have mattered as much. It's like the old boxing saying that when you are fighting the champion on his home turf you need to knock him out to get a draw. Same goes at Ibrox.

There we go. Usual script has been dug out and we concede the early goal.

Only if that is what takes priority. I have never seen any posters complain about players who can be physical. I have seen plenty of posters - myself included - who want to see a balanced team that includes some ball-winners and some players whose priority is to put their foot on the ball and find a pass. There's a reason Turnbull commanded our record transfer fee and it's not because of his tackling.

That was pettiness rather than pedantry, but you're headed in the right direction.

Details, details. A pedant's dream.
