Hapoel threat has merit, fabrications don’t make SFA report

790

Hapoel Beer-Shiva delivered Olympiakos first defeat in a Champions League qualifying match in six years. The Greeks have competed in the group stage every season since, holding their own throughout the period, so getting knocked out by Hapoel was the equivalent of losing a Scottish Cup semi-final to a lower-league club.

Hapoel are not better than Olympiakos, not nearly so, but they were good enough to progress when they got the breaks. Anyone who thinks we’ll easy past them into the group stage is being ridiculously complacent.

I’m trying to avoid the nonsense coming out of Ibrox while we have more important things going on, but good grief! Please, please, have them follow through on the nonsense of ditching their legally contracted Puma strips to wear something else.

That stadium seems to be a beacon attracting stupid people doing stupid things.

You’ll note the INDEPENDENT SFA report on crowd at the Scottish Cup final recorded no assaults whatsoever on Newco players. This clearly caused some dissonance at the media organisations who reported utter fabrications after the game.

Never mind, Newco is in the same good hands which were on the tiller when their disastrous EBT plan was enacted, and the players who benefited from EBTs are front and central of Newco media coverage.

If you can’t see how this story ends, you’re not looking.

    BSR…as an animal lover, I take great offence at your description of the steward at Fifty Pence-land…

     

    Why can’t you just call him a Hun? That would be much sweeter to my sticky-up ears and bushy tail…

  4. Has anyone taken up the current 14 day free offer for Now TV?

     

     

    Just wondering if it includes Sky Sports tv. You can buy a day pass for Sky but if the free offer includes Sky Sports I’d go with that obviously.

     

    It’s not clear from the blurb I’m reading.

    Long hard season with much wailing and gnashing of fangs.

     

    They are the most stupid fans in the history of football….and the most vilest obviously.

     

    They will reap what they have sown….and then some.

    I would like to see Christe in where McGregor is – far better player, and I do struggle with Forrest playing, hope I’m wrong today :-)

    Forrest’s last hurrah today. Sinclair will be the starting winger from Wednesday.

     

    Christie will be sent out on loan IMO, would like to see him play but hasn’t featured much since the Red Imps disaster.

    Think he’s lucky to get a seat on bench ahead of a the likes of Christie, Henderson to name two.

  18. That MF is a cry for help from BR.

     

     

    I wouldn’t back it to win a fight with the Dagenham Girl Pipers.

     

    In fact I wouldn’t back it to win a game of tiddlywinks with the DGP.

     

     

    Or even the AUG.

     

     

    Also not sure if two up front is right for today.

  19. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    GARY67…….fair enough pal,but I thought he

     

    played well on Wednesday.
