  1. Looong way to go yet. Hearts well capable of scoring one or two here... though they do have a poor record of coming from behind recently.
  2. In isolation it’s a great save, but no better than some of the great saves we see from all round the world every week these days. It’s mostly the context that makes it memorable... reigning world champions vs best team in the world, Pele persuaded out of retirement to play again (and allegedly shouting “gol!” as he headed it), keeps the score at 0-0 so England still have one hand on “their” trophy, etc.
  3. To be fair, he was never much of a goalscorer (with a career total of 24), and he presumably wasn't signed as one having only ever scored 4 goals previously. From an expectations point of view, scoring that hat-trick was probably the worst thing he could have done.
  4. I don't blame him at all for taking it on himself. Was just something I noticed, and will be interesting to see whether the coaching staff did too and tell him to look next time
  5. Without both, we'd possibly have been in bigger trouble this year.... so I'd quite like to keep both if they're both happy. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to keep Carson (assuming he's fit), just on the basis that a full international goalkeeper has the potential to make us an extra few quid if he moves on again in a year or two.
  6. It didn't go through the keeper's legs, it came off his left arm and deflected in. It was the least Hastie deserved for the two bits of strength and skill you mention though... if I had any criticism it was that he didn't appear to look up and see Gboly unmarked at the back post, but at 2-0 up and confidence high he was more than entitled to have a pop himself.
  7. Their annual turnover is about £2m more than ours, so I wouldn't bet on it.
  8. Ouch. That's like watching a third generation VHS copy of something somebody originally videoed at the pictures.
  9. Curtis Main couldn't finish a fish supper at the minute.
  10. Tom Boyd's not that fat.
  11. In the "whoosh" way, I suspect.
  12. This page is as much on the world wide web as the MFC website... it shows up in Google searches and you don't need to sign in to read it.

  14. "ize" originated here and has been used in British English since the 15th century. https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/03/28/ize-or-ise/
  15. Another forward. Played with McCormack at Leeds (well, he was there at the same time -- only made 2 first team starts, according to Wikipedia). Also capped at U20 and U23 level for USA. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/01/07/nottingham-forests-gboly-ariyibi-joins-on-loan/

    Works fine in Safari too, though I just subscribe via my podcast app of choice anyway.
  17. Our club (and others) can ban them from attending matches without involving any authorities.
  18. Perhaps. But I think I'd still trust the judgement of the medical professionals we pay to make that call over Tom Aldred's opinion.
  19. I'm glad you weren't the manager when Davie Cooper played for us.
