There’s a few aspects to that. As a skilful attacker who finds space , can skip by his man to both score and create goals his natural skills allow him to avoid direct physicality. Paul Tait’s team set-up and play has made best use of these skills, Graham finds the space , players give the ball ...

First time I’ve ever seen a “ 20 deg gap” in our weather up here compared to SEast England. Enjoy your walk and your retirement mate , it’s surprising the number of things you find to do and over the years things come and go as you make changes. I’m still of the view though that Larbert is a...

Enjoy your Norfolk break , am I imagining it / wrong person/ missed it or were you once planing to take a holiday inn Perth ?

I still retain a particular memory of dominoes from long , long ago when I was about 20 . There was a match going on in our local ,an important league match I think . Anyway , suddenly all hell broke loose with loud accusations from the ” old men “ involved - “ You grounded it !! ( the domino)...

I think we’re in our own time-warp too, very few do this as a bank holiday up here. I got the lawn mowed in a balmy 19 deg , moved a rose bush to a new position, don’t tell Joey wrong time of the year but had to be done, and generally pottered around the garden. A few months ago I decided...

Naw, I too have seen the good times of the 70s and 80s but you never walk away . But you’re right in that reading the stories of those who’ve only seen the despair of 21st century Everton you do feel for them.

Good morning on another dull , cloudy day up here! We’ve been stuck in this cloudy weather system for days , when it seems the rest of the country has been basking in 30 deg sunshine we’ve had 17 deg and westerly winds to make it seem even cooler. Saturday we met up with two of the grandkids ...

It does appear we reach a stage in life where the ages of friends and relatives mean we are doing more caring for and worrying about than ever seemed possible when we were younger. It is impossible to “ snap out of it” at times, but often something comes up to make us smile at the saddest of...

We’re probably a few weeks behind you, in my “ wildflower meadow” I have a few Gowans/ox eye daisies and Vipers bugloss in flower but nothing bursting out yet . I post a photo in a few weeks.

You do realise it was Garner who went to right back . You’re right on one thing , the Manager picks the team , his selections got us 3 point from the last 7 games , relegation form in any season .

Armstrong got my vote, George close second , when they came on we actually looked like a football team that had woken up after 60 mins of slumber.

Wrong thread really from me but Danny Cadamateri’s sons Bailey and 16 year old Caelan are in that squad .

Ah the Glorious Twelth , think I might just be able to nip over from the old Grouse Moor after bagging a few brace and watch the game in my plus fours alongside Davy and Duncan.

Thank you. Yes that is tragically young and with a young family too. I’m glad you were able to weather the storm of those tough few years. So many people are going through or have experienced tough situations that others aren’t aware of, we often lack the perspective to consider that others may...

Indeed. The majority have never been to a Scottish football match or one not involving a team outside of the Central Belt. Now , this is where I’d usually add “ They don’t know what it’s like on a cold Wednesday night in February when your 6 foot away from the players , watching a Highland...

Thanks mate, I’ve tended to steer clear of the Scottish Football thread of late and a few others too.

Thank you!

Oh I agree, our midfield should be a fundamental part of initially protecting the defence , Armstrong though has played his best in a midfield three , either deepest of the three or further forward. Moyes likes to play a 2 and won’t pick him there. We won’t see Armstrong playing there this...

Absolutely .Clarke has better on the ball skills than Pita , but Clarke was constantly running into blind alleys with the ball with no outcome . Pita , for me , has more game intelligence, ability to pick a pass and deliver the ball. Hopefully Clarke gets over his injuries and progresses next...

Last time I popped into here there was much posting about all these players who were so much better than Armstrong, how he was way down the order etc . I was shocked , I thought I’d missed something so checked the league table thinking we were in the CL places . We weren’t, and have dropped...
