I hope he does a big knee slide right in front of the Bois just to see the seethe on here. I have zero issues with any player celebrating a goal, regardless of who he used to play for. It's one of the joys of any footballers' career.

Kettlewell living rent free in a surprising number of posters heads here. Do you remember what he was spouting off about when he was at Ross County? It will all be forgotten when he's telling everyone he wishes there was VAR in the Championship because that controversial non-penalty was the only thing that prevented his Partick Thistle team from making the play-offs.

First season at Luton wee Al made 39 appearances. Second season at Luton he made 47 appearances in a team that won promotion to the EPL. He also won Luton's player of the month on multiple occasions. You can argue whether a player is EPL level, but I'm not sure those Luton stats make you "overrated". It certainly went went wrong in the last couple of seasons, but that could be due to multiple factors.

As I've said before, there are many discussions you can have have about individual players. So many aspects contribute to their overall performances. In football forums, however, all those nuances are boiled down to "shite" or "brilliant". It's what often makes it so difficult to have any kind of conversation.

It must be quite a talent to fool so many professional managers and coaches at different teams and different levels for 15 years.
-
Maybe Miller can try that too and kick the ball away instead of passing it backwards to a wide open player.
-
This.

If we don't line up 6-3-1 then he hasn't being paying attention.
-
Now he's been at Fir Park the Paisley scouting team will be snapping him up again in the summer.
-
He'll be 3rd choice again soon enough.
-
If we go with a high tempo, high press this game we better score 3 or 4 in the first half because we'll be running on fumes in the seccond 45. Of course it's early days, but looking forward to seeing the first few tweaks made.

In my experience the overall percentage of eejits isn't much larger in the US than it is in most countries. However, the electoral college, and the senate seat system, gives them much more influence, and that is the root of a lot of problems. For example, every state gets 2 seats in the Senate. North and South Dakota combined have a population of just over 1.7 million. California has a population of nearly 40 million. The Dakotas get 4 seats in the Senate and California only gets 2. With only 100 seats in the Senate, that is a big discrepancy, The US politcal and legal system is way more complicated and nuanced than I understood before I moved here, but I quickly came to learn there is no "American way" or "American point of view". The federation very much makes it more like a continent of 50 countries than any single, unified force. If you take a trip from Hawaii through California to Idaho, Utah, Montana, Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas, Ohio, Florida, Connecticut, Vermont and Massachusetts (not the most direct route), you are going to see basically 13 different countries in culture, law and politics. Of course it's the eejits that get the attention, but when you look at everyone who voted for Brexit, who believed staying part of the UK was the only way to retain EU membership, who voted for Boris, who kept the Tories in power for 14 years, who made Farage a Euro MP etc. there is plenty stupidity to share around. Sadly, much like the first-past-the-post system in the UK, the electoral system in the US suits the politicians more than it suits the electorate, so it's unlikely to change any time soon. We now rejoin the current programme that was already in progress.

Certainly convenient for us, because when you resign we don't need to pay you off.

If there was a conspiracy in place for SK to give up a 1 year salary pay out to join Thistle on a, no doubt, lesser wage, then it sounds like a plan cooked up by Pinky and the Brain. Putting the "abuse by fans" excuse aside for a moment, it felt like SK was running out of ideas for us and that was turning into frustration with everyone from the refs and the media to VAR and, of course, the fans. I don't think he was lined up for the sack, but the resignation didn't surprise me too much. He hadn't gone full "deer in the headlights" in his interviews, but he was heading in that direction. He was never going to be out the game for very long because that's just how football works. Whether it's at Thistle, Ross County, or some other club, it's odds on he'll have a new job by the spring.

People talk about a bloated squad as if we had 30 fit players to choose from every week. In reality we've been struggling to fill the bench many weeks, and have to start whoever can walk over who's best. Plenty will be moving on in the summer, but we needed the head count to get us through the worst of the injury problems.

I miss the days of Richard "that set the pigeons on fire" Park and Jimmy "were you at the game caller" Sanderson. My other Richard Park favourite was "the ship's come off the rails"
-
Absolutely. And these days, when full backs have pretty much had any defensive skills drilled out of them, 3 at the back makes more sense.
-
In name only when Klopp was in charge.

Ahmet just asked Wimmer if he knew what number Zach Robinson played. He said no.
-
He's the Australian presenter on Masterchef. The one that's not the sex pest.
-
True. But as Ange is finding out at Spurs, it's also true that many players aren't capable of implementing it. If he can get it to work, though, it's definitely they way to go.

In a high press (using Liverpool as a top example) the wingbacks are expected to cover defensive, midfield and attacking duties. The distances guys like Robertson and Alexander-Arnold cover is insasne.
-
I'm good with that. My fear is that is usually coupled with short, intricate passing out from the back.
