It may have been Butcher's selection but John Hughes has made them the team they are today. He had 'eye' enough to keep and shape them where many a new manager would have rushed their 'own' players in. I have no worries about any replacements he brings in, they may not 'star' overnight but he will work and mould them to fit.

Absolutely delighted, great worker and team player with a good eye for a shot. Hope his team mates now follow suit.

To be fair, maybe that's because OAM were not viewing the match through red and blue tinted glasses.. To be honest I was beginning to wonder if they were actually watching the match ! ........Incidentaly I don't think it would be fair if they were wearing red /blue tinted glasses however on this one I will bow to your superior experience of same as my glasses are clear !!

A very valuable three points well done ICT

It may slow the game down at it's inception Alex, but we would soon get used to it and it would make the game a lot fairer and more enjoyable in the end. It would cut out a lot of the nonsense we have been mentioning. The game would get back to being football, where skill prevails over thuggery with less injury and more excitement. Yes players stayed on their feet even if they got knock they didn't dare go down in case they would be branded as ''sissies''. (can I use that word nowadays ???) Bring on the technology let the SPFL lead the world !!

I am in total agreement with your second paragraph D D there is much too much of that going on, very often right in front of the referee too, is it ' gamesmanship ' or is it cheating ? To my mind it is cheating. Football has never been 100 percent honest but as the years have passed the amount of referee deception has increased in all sorts of subtle ways so much so that I am really beginning to believe this is down to training ground tactics. Apart from the blatant foul stopping a player get through on a scoring chance which is dismissed as taking one for the team there is the shirt holding and pulling, the knee in the thigh, elbow in the face and punch in the guts used when jumping up with a player for a high ball all very often missed by the Ref. Then there is the 'accidental' stamp or back heel on the player on the ground. the obstruction on Keepers. Anything goes as long as it is not obvious to the Officials.
