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

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*

Some goal from Moult today to secure the tie.

https://youtu.be/29AHOcObwNQ

Some awful refereeing in both semi finals.

Yeah Moult’s second was a beauty.

Smashing goal, mostly terrible game (only watched the second half). Yon non-penalty that Hibs got was a joke. Sutton getting right lamped into the standard of refereeing to a bemused Rob McLean was great though.

Why is Rob McLean polluting the BT airwaves anyway? I miss Derek Rae.

I thought last night would have been the end of the unbeaten run. Teirney was sensational and Dembele more than justified replacing Griffiths.

Only worry for me is this insistence on trying to make the keeper pass the ball when he plainly can't do it. Between Gordon and Boyata we gave the ball away in our own half too many times to count. I think that's the main reason we struggle in Europe.

More trouble at Scotland's youngest professional football club: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41762385

gutted

they should go for big sam if they want to frighten celtic fans a bit. Im not sure anyone else mentioned would get any worried

expecting Ailsa to say she wouldn't be in 3, 2, 1..

Neil Lennon obv.

Big Sam's big face frightens me. His managerial record of winning next to fuck all in 20 years, not so much.

That said, his profile is such that he might command a slightly higher salary than the 4th best manager in Qatar so probably not gonna happen.

bet your (big) house on McInnes imo.

they don't have the money for your allardyces

i could see mcinnes turning it down

higher salary, bigger budget, he's a boyhood rangers supporter (i think).

otoh it's a hiding to nothing

yeah all true. just a feeling, and i'm prob underestimating the lure of greyskull to someone brought up in it

I think he more or less threw his hands up and said "We (i.e. I) can't do anything more" after the Aberdeen-Celtic game the other night.

Prepare to resurrect this quote and mock me in a week or so, but I don't think McInnes would touch it. He knocked back Sunderland to stay at Aberdeen, I can't see him leaving them for another Scottish team. Especially the state of affairs at Ibrox atm.

Alex McLeish joint second-favourite with Billy Davies after McInnes with most bookies, with Graeme Murty just behind them. Rot probably not stopping any time soon.

Nae bother.

Rumour spreading on twitter that Liam Miller is in a hospice with days to live. Can't find a reliable source and I don't remember any reports of an illness.

Tam McManus saying it's not quite that bad...

"Awful news about Liam Miller keep the fingers crossed that he somehow pulls through. Was in the USA for treatment this month and flys back tomorrow to start chemo here. He’s still fighting it. Will say a prayer for him tonight. 🙏🏻 #fuckcancer "

Big Eck currentlly odds on fav for Ibrox. Hard to tell how that will go down with the bears.
I'm fairly confident he could make them a solid second within a year - not sure if that's acceptable to People who have somewhat loftier ambitions.

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 :-(
