Not really, GK is a key position and one that cannot be filled and covered up with a lesser player unlike some outfield positions or have the formation or type of play adjusted to compensate. If Esson gets injured or looses form etc we need someone experienced and capable to step in. Simply if we let Tuffey go (for a nominal fee) then Esson picks up an injury early in the season we will not have anyone capable til the Jan window when we will need to get a loan etc. Some may say having 2 quality keepers is a luxury, at this level its got to be a necessity.

I puzzled over that one too. Looking up Scots language websites and listening to examples, it does appear these days to be nothing more than English spoken with a Scottish accent and with a few regional words thrown in. Do people in England get asked if they speak, understand, read and write Geordie, Scouse or Cockney rhyming slang? You can't seriously ask a question about Scots without defining or explaining what it is. I've also had to decide whether my baby and toddler consider themselves to be Scottish or British, or both. I tried asking them but they didn't really understand. Maybe I should have asked in Scots.
