"I spoke to Bruno Alves and said to him, 'So this is Scottish football'." SPFL 2017/2018

but yes it would've been a great title

Did Pedro really complain after the Hearts game that Rangers were suffering due to the respect they were now getting from other sides?

tbf to him iirc elements amongst my club are historically quite well known for offering that shower 'respect'

WTF is this all about?

hopefully drunken daftness and not some attempt at harming himself

he's ready

Here is tonight's starting line-up for Lithuania v Scotland. Come on Scotland! #LTUSCO pic.twitter.com/gKJEZU653K

Bizarre to be so comfortable. Assuming Monday's games go the way you'd expect, the game against Slovakia will be unbearable - all or nothing.

absolute scenes.

see what happens when you play the sellick players, wee chesney?

Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale Vs Inverurie Loco Works.

gotta love the names of some of them Scottish non-league clubs.

Civil Service Strollers is one of my favourites.

we're fucked

750-900k supposedly.

that's a classy decision from the SFA

ah, Accies, never mind me

pm me on fb and I'll tell you the rumours not posting them publicly

Saw the Accies story but there’s not much detail. That’s a pretty brutal figure.

oh im sure there's a lot more to it, damn sure.

oh mr wu , what shall i do im feeling kind of limehouse money lau....

though some say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttgcu01Ffwo

while i feel sorry for accies i'm kind of eager to find out what hare-brained nonsense got the club defrauded for such a high sum

Jambos too?

aye hearts as well

clubs were warned ages ago about it so was this when the scam actually happened and a warning went out or did the fuckwits still get done despite warnings.

Idiots.

lol us too? I am behind on the news

is there a salacious angle to the rumours? I'd assumed it was like one of those emails from lesg✧✧✧@acc✧✧✧.r✧ telling the finance director to transfer cash pronto or whatever?

hah wouldn't have worked on ilxor. les dot gray at accies dot ru was the gag email there.

nobody knows atm. but some accies fans think the worst of some people involved in the club.

but the fact hearts got hit too would say that they are wrong and the clubs been scammed by the wallet inspector despite that warning that went out ages ago when Annan got scammed

but i can only assume that Accies could go bust if the money cant be recovered

that's fucking horrible. scottish football dug deep for us when we were in the hole, hope the same happens for accies

Just when you think Scottish football can sink any lower...

Accies are really hated because we have a small support and "bring nothing to the league". Some of the facebook groups for Scottish football is full of that attitude sadly. You get it in the daily record hotline and of course some years back the st mirren chairmen went on about it

the worst is not knowing what's going to happen. We dont know what did happen or how exactly much as the rumours are it's £900,000.

the worry is someone from the club authorized a payment and then there's no chance of getting it back from the bank. Got to hope its not been that.

You’d have to question where Accies are making £900k payments to for it to be such a monumental one-off cock up by a member of staff.

Well, quite. Any well-run business should have enough checks and balances in place to counteract even the daftest slip from a well-meaning temp or whatever.

Accies are really hated

Do people really *hate* Hamilton? With absolutely no offence meant, do they even register anywhere in the ranks of teams anyone gives a shit about? Does it generally go deeper than"meh, who cares"? In terms of bringing nothing to the league and having a small support, what distinguishes them from, well, about 25 other clubs in the SPFL?

I hate their shitty excuse for a pitch. Does that count?

hahaha at this sudden volte-face from the ilx scotcru

OI PFUNKBOY YOUR TEAM SUXXX NYAH NYAH GOOD LUCK GETTING RELEGATED OR BANKRUPT OR SOMETHING

IF IT WEREN'T FOR CELTIC THERE WOULDN'T EVEN BE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL

His team doesn't suck. They scored this!

https://youtu.be/1d0WwEqmSR0

Their pitch sucks.

Hey, imago, thanks for dropping by to misinterpret stuff. It's been a while.

p difficult to misinterpret 'bringing nothing to the league'

Sorry, my bad, they do bring something to the league. The worst pitch in Scottish football.

They bring as much as nearly every other club, which is pretty much nothing. I have nothing against them but there's nothing really there to get particularly bothered about either. That doesn't even come close to "boo I hope they die Celtic are brilliant yay" or whatever. Also said, no offence meant. There's just genuinely nothing there to hate (except their pitch)

One of the most inoffensive teams in Scottish football I would have thought, even if St Mirren have had a pop at them.

.. the Herts on the other hand.

*waves*

och that’s less than two Ben Nevises

We’re one short for fives tonight, looks like we might be in luck. Give’s a shout, Willo!

Willo Flood last one day as Brexit Secretary,

So, do we have a new thread title? Are we ready?

Good performance by Hibs. Useful 2-0 victory for Rangers, with the aid of a late penalty, though it must be admitted that their opponents are no Progres Niederkorn.

i was actually quite proud of last year's title, might have a little read of the tabloids and see if i can glean anything interesting from brendan or Mr Gerrard

Tony Watt: back in the big-time

He certainly is!

Hibs involved in an eventful game in the Faroe Islands, which Efe Ambrose kickstarted, in his own inimitable style, by scoring an own goal after one minute. Final score, 6-4 to the Hibees

Meanwhile Rangers starting their European campaign in fairly inimitable, if slightly baffling, style too...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/44888334

Scottish football favourite Anthony Stokes signs for Tractor Sazi in Iran.

Hibs' last three competitive matches: 5-5, 6-1, 6-4.

New balls please.

Second best team in Scotland, folks. Depressing stuff.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44890774

it's depressing but part of why it's depressing is the state of english football.

Aye, you want to read all the Neville Vs Holt stuff on conference and non-league forums - lots of accusations of buying promotion being bandied round.

Rooney has doubled his wages going to Salford.

90' We've seen some strange things at Hampden but St Mirren keeper Craig Samson has just been forced to remove what looks like a dead squirrel dropped onto the pitch by a seagull. Entertainment at its best.

— Queen's Park FC (@queensparkfc) July 24, 2018

^ some kind of metaphor for Scottish football, once a child would kick a dead squirrel in the street etc.

Meanwhile, Hibs' European adventure continues, having gone in at half time 2-0 at home to some Greek side, they've fought back to lead 3-2. Aberdeen have almost certainly blown it against Burnley though.

I suppose we should start a new thread.

"A dead squirrel dropped by a seagull" SPFL 2018/2019. Something along those lines. Get onimo to do it, he's funny.

Hibs only leaking 2 goals is progress of a sort. I think I prefer the 5-4s

Thinking of a Cantonaesque 'When the seagulls drop the squirrels..'

I'm not funny. Ask my kids. Not even Dad Joke funny these days.

I like "When the seagulls drop the squirrels"

I still like the William Shatner/Adam Rooney baws argument

🤔Would it be ‘naff to tell @17AdamRooney that my bawbells are bigger than his? #sizematters 😝 https://t.co/LSA954nJYo

Though Rooney's fecked off to English non-league so doesn't deserve a thread title :-(
