As someone who regularly goes to East End Park as well all Scotland home games and the occasional Dons match, I can assure you that games without VAR are a much better match going experience than those that have it.
The Pars late winner against Hibs would probably have had a 5 minute VAR check before any decision was made rather than just looking to see if the linesman has a flag up before celebrating.
I was at the Dundee game with the autistic chap I look after and had to try and explain to him what was going on with the long check for the penalty and red card.
Get VAR in the bin. IMO
Top Reds have an innate hatred for those coat tail-hanging whores’ bastards. They love all that “New Firm” pish, piggybacking on to our success.
Let the trophy count show: Ferguson 10, Greeting Jim 3.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
West Ham are getting a little bit of form together and their manager knows the league and how to grind out wins/draws
Spurs are lucky. Wolves and Burnley are all but down and only one place left, but a few teams fighting for it.
I don't think Spurs have the right man in charge either.
All these left field managerial appointments in fitba, show the folk in charge haven't a clue what they are doing.
It would not be a surprise to anyone if Spurs went down.
It just has a feel of inevitably about it.
Seems a long time ago now, that they were one of the breakaway European Super League clubs.
So any development on Sandro? We’ve been so public about him I would have thought he’s a shoe-in. Out of work since Oct so can’t see any gardening leave issues.
it’s hard to get a grip on his history, as Panda has already pointed out. Kept Mainz in the German top flight which was seen as a success of sorts as a small club in a cut throat league. Hertha were a shit show before he arrived so his time there was chaotic. No idea what he did in Moscow or NY but they have had a lot of managers in their short history, looks like they change them every year to 18 months and they’ve never had much success. It’s all a bit unknown, could go either way.
Here's the AI answer for you bud.
A "square go" is a Scottish slang term for a fair, one-on-one, bare-knuckle fight between two people to settle a dispute without weapons or intervention. It is commonly used as a challenge in, or originating from, Glasgow to face someone directly.
In fairness to them, they did qualify some of it around the role players have on team/defence etc. for example, Milne is there for positional awareness and clearing rather than ‘battling’. Agree, these stats are only a part of the picture (RIP Ebbe) and no surprise, just thought they were interesting…apologies, will try harder next time
Really good performance from Falkirk. Absolutely destroyed utd for 44 minutes. Utd had a decent spell for 15-20 minutes maybe, but Falkirk just stepped it up and ended the game in full control again.
By a mile. Arabs are having no luck at the moment.
McGlynn is almost certainly a good enough manager for us, and almost certainly better than the fashionable foreigners that we're courting.
John McGlynn: Falkirk with one foot in the next round of the cup. Miles clear of the bottom six in the league. I mean, has anyone on the board even remotely considered the guy? Or does his passport being from here automatically disqualify him from being considered?
Ah I thought you had deleted your post. Didn’t realise was in a different thread.
I would rather Arabs got through as think we have better chance of beating them.
Armstrong, in his Red TV interview kept using the expression “against the ball”. I assume that’s nouveau coach-speak for opponents being in possession?
Sakes boys, I struggle with these new metaphors.
I don’t think it’s sustainable this time. It’s alright having a Cold War when you’ve got 2 cars in the drive, have health cover, like eating and go on holiday once a year.
I’m not sure either but I’m certain it should involve a leather glove and pistols at dawn.
Modern football demands statistical analysis to provide evidence of success or failure beyond goals scored. I guess it’s part of the disease that money brings, along with VAR where big investments require certainty and security around everything to justify and protect their spend.
That said, we are clearly far too light middle to back and so easy to cut through. Maybe we need to start winning those duels/duals/jewels
I watch Jaws at least once a year - absolutely love it. Sometimes I'll watch Jaws 2, which isn't bad. However i cannot stand Jaws 3(d) and Jaws The Revenge
