Whilst it may be the case that some footballers are too dumb or too arrogant to follow the rules, their high profile means they are also far more likely to get caught. Which ought to mean they are particularly careful to adhere to the rules.

To make up for the lack of exotic sounding foreigners signing for us in recent years, I’m trying to convince myself our new signing is called Roberto Diaz.

One of the many unsatisfactory things about this is that postponing the game means Aberdeen will have a full squad when they play St J later this month, whereas Hamilton will benefit this midweek from playing an Aberdeen side who will have the 8 players out of the squad. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, let’s try to keep political arguments out of this thread please.

Just listened to this week’s one which is Richie Hart. An enjoyable listen, he has plenty of good stories and I’d forgotten he was at Dundee when we famously overhauled them for promotion, so good to get a bit of insight from as to what was happening at Dens.

Likewise. We were on a family holiday in Cornwall. I did look into how I could get to and from Bucharest from there but it got pretty complicated. And unpopular.

Season doesn’t start for 2 or 3 months, don’t panic. Paying additional players to do nothing in that time isn’t a good use of the budget.

As he won’t qualify for furlough, I guess he’ll be by far our most expensive player at the moment!

Thanks for reminding me.

I was delighted when I went to the podcast the other day and found this had appeared. Really enjoyable listen, and I didn’t know that he doesn’t rate Feb 8th 2000 as his biggest upset. Been making my way through the ICT ones over the last few weeks. Some great insights from our recent heroes like Hughes, Vincent and Draper but best of all are the ones from further back who can be more open, honest and critical, like Tokely, Duncan and Fraser.

I’m so glad we won our last game before lockdown. When I look at the BBC Sport app I see this, our most recent result. Imagine going for all these months being reminded every single day of a miserable defeat!

Will be interesting to see if any players from his current club make into the team.

Arbroath.

Republic of Ireland got £4m from FIFA to back down after threatening legal action, after a poor refereeing decision allowed France a goal in their World Cup playoff.

Don’t drink it! Limited edition versions of top brand malts can be very collectable. I have a bog standard Highland Park 12yo that would have been worth about £30 were it not for a label commissioned for a special occasion, and it now sells at auctions for about £400. Doesn’t even have a special box or bottle engraving like the ICT one has.

The mood on Sportsound was that there just isn’t enough support for the change to proceed.

And Championship clubs to vote on proposal to start in October with a 27 game season, basically meaning 25% less income.

Aye, ruined by the lack of VAR!

I woke up this morning in the middle of a dream in which it had been announced that the season would not start until December at the earliest. Morton then withdrew from the league and their place was taken by B36 Tórshavn.

Unlikely, but maybe it’s a sign that there’s a quote about the player in that BBC article “it turns out that he required an ICT” 😮

Intelligent Land Investments Group, anyone know who they are?

Just listened to the Christie one, an uncharacteristically professional show, guys 😀 Seriously, a really great listen - interesting, amusing and the 2 hours just flew by.

Seeing as her plan succeeding would offer ICT it’s best chance of surviving this, I’m happy for her to pursue it a bit further.

I’m still angry with Watkins for wasting a glorious chance to win the cup with a lame effort that wasn’t even on target, when he should have played Vincent in. Things might have turned out so different.....

Comments on Off the Ball indicate that the Budge proposal is acknowledged to be dead already.
