Where's all the intricate analysis of this Mackay appointment?

U know the same folk who dissected Cathro ahead of his first game v sevco last week?
Not sure there is anything stopping you adding any if you wish?

At a guess, I'd think there's probably less understanding generally of what a Performance Director for the SFA actually does compared to what's involved in being the Head Coach of Hearts. So maybe people feel more confident taking a view about one and not the other.
Its the fellows in the SMSM I was referring to :thumbsup:

The ever more angry Euan Murray has already spewed his ring about this appointment in the Guardian, while bigging up Cathro in the process.

To save you having to go reading it, it's basically: Hearts = visionaries, SFA = dinosaurs.

Ref in the World Club Championship used video tech to award a penalty. First time its been used in a competitive game I think.

Link in portuguese with video of ref checking the video and awarding the penalty.

Surely not?
We are trying to encourage grass roots football, egt the youngsters off the couch and out onto the park, why would they if they are not being paid a decent wage?

SPFL lawyers tell clubs players must go on ZERO HOUR contracts to avoid government pay levels
SPFL advised by their lawyers to ask Scottish government to exclude football from living wage regulations.

Turf them out of Hampden now!
Oh, wait that would leave the national stadium empty, if only there was another club that could use it.

Queen’s Park break 150 years of amateur tradition and now face HMRC crackdown
The Spiders now have players on contracts and break minimum wage regulations – with Dundee and Stirling Albion are also in the dock.

I've always thought he was a total plonker, but fair play to him, it's very good of him to do that.

Ferdinand comes across as a thoroughly decent geezer in the English warped football world.

Loved his Paul McStay story from a few years ago!!!!

Nearest I can get to it....Ive seen another video that Rio is more excitable about the incident.

Ferdinand was awe struck in Sydney I think it was ...McStay was with his kids looking for autographs and Rio got 3/4 United players back out on pitch to talk to him cause they just walked by him. Sounds as though he was a genuine fan growing up in London of Celtic and especially Paul.

All 4 home nations teams fined by UEFA for wearing the poppies
and other associated acts.

So there you have it UEFA views this illicit act in the same vein as
flying a Palestine flag or singing songs of Irish rebellion.

Thats going to sting the huns that is.
