  1. When you're a Gen Xer like me, the Millennial, Gen Z and Gen Alpha marketing all feels like this.
  2. It does matter, though, because when the pool is small there is no incentive to improve. With a larger pool, there might be some officials who take action to improve so they can replace the clueless refs in the top games.
  3. I said earlier in the season that JT has not convinced me, despite his goals this season. This is one of the reasons.
  4. When you take try and take out the subjectivity, you end up with the current hand ball rules. There are multiple issues that need to be dealt with, from refs not understanding the game to players being coached to cheat. One of the biggest challenges is the small pool of available talent and how to address that.
  5. I don't think there's that many additonal officials needed for VAR. I think the biggest problem is the lack of people who want to be refs means there is a small pool. What we are seeing is literally the best we have available.
  6. What's worse than losing 3 goals in 30 minutes at Tynecastle to drop 2 points?... Take your pick.
  7. Off the ball blocking happens more often in football these days than it does in rugby.
  8. You can have Just or Watt for £5M - the other one stays.
  9. in his presser this week, Jens mentioned he had a lot of input into the project, so I'm assuming it meets his needs.
  10. Certainly not how I've used a sauna in the past.
  11. Are saunas still a thing for footballers, or has the sports science moved on from that? I quite like the look of the plans and have zero concerns it doesn't look like a 5 star resort.
  12. That's the spirit!
  13. Aye, I was going to say something similar. As much as I despise the OF, it's the TV companies that the SPFL and SFA care about rather than those 2 clubs. Especially at this stage of the season.
  14. That's not a con. That's proper football.
  15. We tried that in 1991 I seem to recall. If we beat Rangers by 3 clear goals in our second last league game, it meant Aberdeen only needed a draw in their last game at Ibrox to win the league. We did our part, then Aberdeen bottled it.
  16. I have 100% confident that our current board is on top of things when it comes to trying to secure our young prospects. I'm in 100% agreement about the many examples that have left too soon. I have close to 0% confidence that a youngster getting bad advice from agents and family will be smart enough to ignore it.
  17. As always, we can't force anyone to sign if they don't want to.
  18. I'm never surprised to lose a match, but that was a strangely poor performance. We always seem drop a level after an extended break.
  19. Have we ever played well after an international break? Has Liam Gordon been running our passing drills? Discuss, after you have made your pick
  20. That might be due to his inability to pass a ball.
  21. Good news on Johnny K. Hope there is more to follow as we get towards the end of the season, and not too much waiting around for offer acceptances.
  22. Definitely the only time I ever saw it used.
  23. Slattery has to take some responsibility for his embarrassing antics. The poor refereeing made it worse and the retrospective action compounded the incompetence by handing out a 4 match ban for something that would have been a yellow card in-game. So an embarrassment all round, with each decision worse than the next. I can't speak for anyone else, but I hate cheating more than I hate bad decisions. And that applies to our players too.
  24. Robinson gets the full backing of Strachan. Seems like only yesterday that Strachan was backing another ex-Motherwell boss.
