@hellspatisserie People moan about the Americans when they try to be quasi European in football culture but also brand them cringe if they try and keep it American too. Seems like a can’t win situation when it comes to their fandom.

@simongerman600 Think a stutter penalty exposes this technique pretty hard

@JanAageFjortoft Clicks his heels like Dorothy

@cal_scfc It’s brilliant, hearing mundane unrelated bollocks during the lull periods of games is never not funny. Reminds me of baseball commentary

@JamesMelville Replacing overly long phrases with more concise and descriptive terms should be seen as a positive in communication but nostalgia obsessed weirdos see any change in vernacular or views in how the game is seen as some affront to the sport

@ademir2z This isn’t a serious suggestion btw

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@ademir2z Every other proposed solution always ends up rewarding stodgy defensive football. Imagine if tiebreakers were decided by xG (preposterous I know)

@talkSPORT People should be more concerned about his inability to catch and that he punches easily claimable crosses

@JonnyJobson @Robert_mac88 Michael Cox likes to believe himself to be the smartest man in the room, it’s why all his replies to his lowly readers is all condescending hogwash. Typical of a middle class buffoon to come at you for decorum. Having a half decent vocabulary is not a substitute for intelligence

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@TheAthleticFC To replace the already mediocre players that were playing for scottish clubs

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@TheAthleticFC Our issues are due to falling behind in coaching and development with misguided views on how to measure football talent. Not with some nonsensical belief that we want to differentiate ourselves from England and not playing mediocre players playing in the English league

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@TheAthleticFC This article is 50% Scottish football history report taken straight out of Wikipedia, 50% drivel of a moron who has no ability to comment on contemporary Scottish football. Michael Cox is a middle class pseudo intellectual that is a disease to football

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@GoggsyNineNine This point about genetics, if we are at a natural disadvantage why must we play a brand of football and coaching style wholly hinged on good genetics. Seems coutnerintuitive but probably a reason why we have a rut of football intelligence and have done for the past 30-40 years

@caim67 Him and McGinn are good complimentary players that play for high profile clubs, not true needle movers

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@__TheNearPost_ Think Zlatan was unfortunate. Ascended just as Larsson and Ljungberg faded and the talent pool never got good again til his mid 30’s

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@oeste Don’t think boot deals pay what they used to. And only a select few players can move product

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@sportscaddy Think of Shaq in the NBA. Brutish power with deft finishing touch and knows how to use his body to the fullest extent and doesn’t dawdle in possession pretending to be something he isn’t, everything is about “how can I get the best opportunity to score”

[Steve Francis Thomson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @CuraidhSolas]

@mkwitzke @RedGreenBC He is a statistical outlier in every regard. He’s 99th percentile in dribbling, passing and finishing. Only player in history to significantly cheat his xg for over 5+ seasons and there’s not much public data over his most prolific scoring seasons.

@Craig_Smith_ @Tommy_Oldham1 I’m obviously talking about respective “golden generation” of course English people being purposefully obtuse.
