Nice assist from Miller there...
-
Happy to see him secure a starting spot. Hopefully the European scouts are watching.
-
Heading off down south because someone asked him to mark Norway?
Good luck to the man. Liked his attitude, energy and enthusiasm, but not a fan of his actual defensive abilities.

Broon couldn't live with not being seen, he loves playing up to the crowd.
Professional football is supposed to be entertainment. Would be very boring if we didn't have some heroes and villains.
Davie Cooper, Michael Higdon, Faddy, Skippy - to name a few - all loved playing up to the crowd.

We never complain about players who are true masters of the dark arts, because they are the ones who are never seen.

Then again I’m against all this analytics bullshit. It all feels like a bit of a cop out to me. I can hear it now ……’Ah but the data suggested he was the man for the job’. Pretty sure even Kettlewell would have come out well using that system. Did that route not steer Hearts to opt for Cathro, as well as Critchley who outscored McInnes at the time? Crazy and hardly a strong recommendation for its use.
To be fair, Kyrk Macmillan has said much the same - that the data is only part of it, and all the interpersonal qualities are equally important.
Like in any other field (VAR, for example), it's still down to people interpreting the output and making the right decisions.

If the "data driven" approach produces Foster as the new manager, then somebody needs a new spreadsheet.

Credit to the Board that the media, yet again, has no clue who we're even talking to.
The bookies must love it when we have a vacancy, because they never need to pay out.

I'm not sure Antonio Conte has been so successful by overrating players; even Billy Gilmour (who made 26 league appearances for him on the way to the league title).

Clarke initially did the job that was needing done. He took an omnishambles of a national team and consolidated it into one that was difficult to beat and, most importantly, one that the players wanted to be involved with.
And I give him credit for that.
He did well to get us to the first Euros, but his tactics were an embarrassment in that tourney. The second Euros were even worse, because not only had he not learned anything, but he actually went backwards.
That was when he should have been moved on.
Friendlies and injuries aside, the national squad actually has some decent players available now. There were EPL, Champions League, Seria A, Coppa Italia and Austrian Bundesliga winners on the pitch last night that should have been able to play some football.
We are crying out for a manager with a bit more creativity and tactical nous, otherwise we are destined to be one of the few teams who fails to quailfy for the new 322 country World Cup finals.

I saw him play once, but only in the "Motherwell Old Babes" team - I think at the Joe Wark testimonial.

Ironic that many of the posters cutting and pasting song titles from wikipedia as "jokes" are the same ones that complain about lazy journalists cutting and pasting "news" from websites.

It’s not obvious either way however I tend to think that if he really didn’t want it then he wouldn’t be doing it atall and would probably have left with Kettlewell.
I suspect that timing is the factor here. Frail has only had one game so far - against Celtic which inevitability ended in defeat so he can’t really be judged on that. If we win on Saturday and pick up something at Tannadice the following week then it’ll be easier for them to sell the appointment of Frail to the fans just like they did with Kettlewell and Hammell before him.
If you think back Hammell got the job on a ‘temporary’ basis, we beat St.Mirren and he was given the job on a permanent basis a few days later.Same with Kettlewell, placed on interim charge, won two games against St.Mirren and Hearts and officially appointed within days.
I don’t see things being any different this time around and Stephen Frail is three, maybe four points away from a permanent appointment imo.
I don't think you'll be any closer this time.

After his recent sacking, let's throw Michael Carrick's hat into the ring and see if any media outlets pick it up.
(That's how you do it, right? You don't have to submit an application, you just have to throw in a hat?)

The longer this drags on the more worried/convinced I’m becoming that it’ll be Richard Foster.
It hasn't dragged on, though. It's barely started.

We are a fan owned club allegedly its maybe time that the WS got involved in a real topic of interest to the supporters and see what can be done re selling sponsor free replica kit.
At a time when we are looking for more ideas to generate income, intentionally removing a chunk of our revenue stream doesn't seem like good business.
I'd also be curious to know how many fans in the shirt buying population want a sponsorless option because I'd imagine that, kids being kids, most of them want a kit that looks exactly like the one the players are wearing' sponsor and all.
I'm not against it, but I'd need to see a breakdown of the financials before I was in favour of it.
One thing is for sure, and that's you won't make the up the gap in revenue by upping their price.

Better they take time to get the right man in than make a quick hire like Maurice Malpas or Stevie Hammell.

Thats a far superior kit in every way

I'd say it was also too fussy. Doesn't need all those extra fine pinstripes.
Designers these days can't help themselves these days. Just because technology makes it easy and possible to keep adding things, doesn't mean you should.

You beat me to it, but I agree 100%.

Given that I'm about 40 years older than their target demographic for shirt sales, my thoughts are irrelevant. If it was a nod to 100 years ago, however, I would have kept it stripes only.

The Record reporting that Riku Danzki was arrested in relation to a betting scandal in Australia.
QuoteThe attacker has been hit with 10 offences relating to accusations of betting corruption in Australian top-flight games in April and May.
It is claimed he received a red or yellow card in games to manipulate the outcome of online betting.
He is one of two men who have been charged as a result of an investigation by detectives from the Sporting Integrity Intelligence United, who worked in conjunction with Football Australia.
The pair have been bailed and are due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 31st July.

I know what you mean, but the hoop and/or band has only been used on about 50% of our kits in our history. Even when I started watching us around 1970, we only had one hoop season until 1984.
Our kit in the 1925-26 season looked like this:
I'd be OK if we did that as a tribute 100 years later.
I should have bought a lottery ticket the day I posted this.

Of course. And every few years, the big clubs are edging closer towards the European Breakaway League they desperately want as new structures of the competitions are adopted.

Is that based on anything other than pure speculation, that would be a great move for him.
It was a joke, but based on the fact that PSG have not only invested in some of the best teenagers in Europe. but had no problem playing them in the Champions League final.
If it's true that statistically Miller is in that top echelon of his age group across Europe, then teams like that should be interested.

He was a class act tonight. Delighted he was able reproduce his quality and range of passing.
Must be worth at least another half mill after that.
