pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Fixture list for Oct is horrendous. Something like six games in 17 days. Dreading it. Get off to a bad start on Sunday and it could set a trajectory that destroys the rest of the season. 020
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I use it everyday and would miss it badly. I can do stuff in a couple of hours that previously took days. Admittedly, I’ve decades of experience in what I do and have an extensive archive of work it can draw on. I can brief it well and know what’s a good job and what’s not. I wouldn’t be without it. 200
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A one trick pony and we’re not set up to play his trick. 120
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Can’t express how gutted I am that we didn’t keep him. Top class. Great mentality. A leader. A name opponents knew and feared. Deadly in the box. Hold-up and link-up play superb. Should’ve been a no brainier to keep him. 320
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026…and we had a proper 9 in Iheanacho. I think MON did make a difference. That team kept at it until the 90 was long gone and then some. He’s good a firing up players. Organising is another question entirely. 210
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m agree with many criticisms of the management team over the past few weeks but it’s unarguable that the board failed MON in the summer, especially in midfield and cover at left and centre back. No Engels replacement. No McGregor replacement. It’s created huge problems. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 08/10/2026MON worked wonders to motivate that squad to win the league (having Engels, AJ & Iheanacho return and on terrific form also helped). But eventually, even the finest words from best motivator fail as you can’t ask for one last heroic effort *every* game. Eventually, the squad needs reinforcements. 200
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The same. A real hold-your-breath moment. Was at the front. Never again. 020
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Anticipating that inheritance tax is likely going to be a big contributor to Burnham’s plan for paying for a social care NHS. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Didn’t understand why Slovenia didn’t keep hoofing the ball down that channel. Did it in the 1st half of the first game and caused chaos. When they did it last night, they wrecked us again. They could have got a dozen repeatedly doing that. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ref should have sent off at least three of them for dissent. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 07/10/2026With the right manager, we should hold our own against our peers and cause the occasional upset, just like SC did with Killie. SC took us as far as we could’ve gone with the current crop. Give the new guy time. He has to phase out McGinn, Christie etc. Their heart is there - but not the puff. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It makes you wonder about the standards in the SPFL when two of them think their job was done - get in the box - fall over for a penalty rather than go for goal. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026No doubt, when it doesn’t matter, we’ll beat the Swiss. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Same again. Another chance ruined as the player goes for a pen instead. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/20263-5-2 is falling to bits. Instead of taking off Welsh, he should’ve hooked McGinn and gone to 4-3-3. We’re getting mauled down each of the channels. #scotland 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hendry again. Absolute donkey. If Robbo dropped McKenna in it that last game, he saved Hendry’s neck in this one. 020
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ah. So, another former box-to-box player now with zero puff and who just wants to sit in front of his own defence? 110
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Assume he’s out of contract? Good player but still, must be getting on a bit now. And if out of contract, won’t be match ready. 120
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We need anti-drone defences but part of a wider review of how to defend ourselves vrs modern tech… and without depending on the US. Also helps if we have better foreign policies to avoid hostilities kicking off in the first place. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026£10bn. Laughable really as a general already told the Commons earlier this year that such a system would cost £80bn. Also, what’s to stop a couple of Russian subs surfacing off the coast and releasing a whole fleet of drones already inside the dome? Defence isn’t that simple to solve! 100
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Indeed. But when the general direction of fitba is towards a super league, either under FIFA or UEFA, that shareholding could increase in value significantly should Celtic be able to join. It’s a punt on whether he can make a *lot* more in the future. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 04/10/2026JRM is a long streak of pish but goodness me, he schools Carlson here! 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s also a good reason to decline any further investment in future from them. 020
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Scavenging the parts and building these was as much fun as riding them! 110
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Think it’ll be a while before he’s fully sharp. Remember when Kuhn joined us in that winter window after just coming back from a long term injury? He didn’t achieve full match sharpness until the start of the following season. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If he had lived, what roles do you think he would’ve landed in front of his peers like Brando etc? 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Biggest idiot in the history of the Scottish game. Sure, some players score OGs or get sent off. Managers lose finals or leagues. Some fans riot. But none have killed their club and stained its reputation like he did. He should be a pariah in the eyes of everyone associated with the game. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 01/10/2026John Smith, Liverpool, 1973 to 1990. 11 Football League championships, four European Cups, two UEFA Cups and three FA Cups. 010
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 01/10/2026For Scotland, Bob Kelly cleans up. Domestic domination with no cheating. European glory, another EC final, semi finals. There has been and will be nothing like it in Scotland again. And then England, because he said “British”. How can he suggest Rangers under Murray beats than Liverpool under Smith? 110
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Aberdeen, two European trophies, have the greater achievement. Bob Kelly - the ultimate prize. Forest’s chair in 70s/80s back-to-back European Cups. Liverpool chairman in the 70s and 80s has a bagful too. 😂😂😂 None of those killed their club. A European trophy is worth a sackful of domestic silver. 110
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Think of him as the father of economics. Both left and right can claim justifications from his work. First and foremost he was a social scientist studying how markets work, trying to develop an understanding of what drives them, which ultimately is people’s behaviour. Top thinker. Great Scot. 020
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Not sure you can excuse the players if even only part of what I’ve read about one big transfer is true. 100
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But we can offer first team football, the shop window of European competition, and a stadium packed with the passionate supporters creating the best atmosphere in the game - an experience few players regret. The scouting and recruitment setup needs rebuilt for the modern era. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026💯 UCL’s trajectory is in the same direction. The differences are that it’s happening in bite sized chunks and UEFA has no intention of relinquishing any of it. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The important point here is that already screwed younger generations don’t end up being screwed over again to benefit older generations. Older generations need to pay for this in the short term (death taxes) and a long term, proper insurance/wealth fund set up to finance it for future generations. 000
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Billionaires have their wealth well protected from tax raids. They pay a premium for the best tax lawyers to make it so. It’s a fantasy to pretend otherwise. Also note that pensioners will be the group benefiting most from NHS for social care. If anything, they’ll be getting more as a result. 100
pmur88.bsky.social @pmur88.bsky.social · 30/09/2026With the academy system in Scotland being broken and the board refusing to pay the asking price for Scottish talent, especially from other SPFL clubs who are bringing thru players, I don’t see that changing for a long time. 000
