I read a great analogy on twitter recently. If UEFA ran the Olympics Ussain Bolt would be getting a 10m start over the 100m, such are the vagries of the club and country coefficients.

Very good comparison that actually :thup:

Worth remembering though he's 23 (just about) and getting a second bite at it, I think he'll do fine but we'll see.

Shankland is still pretty young.
I didn't realise he was so young when I watched him at Morton.
Could easily see him make the step up now. Clearly too good for Ayr United. But hopefully they get a bit of cash for him and get a decent cut of any sell on as well.

I see Paddy Power have just paid out on Celtic retaining their title.

9 goals this season so far, he is certainly making himself known.
Some managers are good at spotting underperforming players and bringing them on, others just buy and hope.
A few years ago who was the manager at Dundee United who sold three good youngsters and pocketed a 10% percentage of the fees in an contracted agreement with the club.
Seemed like a good idea, what could possibly go wrong.

Not a bad goal return for someone still only 22 according to official website. For whatever reasons it didn't work out for him at earlier clubs he is certainly doing exceptionally well at Ayr Utd. His record will see someone gamble again as he scores goals...who knows maybe the gers will take him if their red card appeal is unsuccessful.

They were LIQUIDATED, then a new claub was ALLOWED into the league ahead of EOS & HL teams with long standing claims to a spot. Far from "punished", they were given huge favouritism.
The new club undoubtedly did yes.
Hatred of the years of cheating, the hubris, the favouritism they receive, and the "no-one likes us we don't care, except we really really do care" mentality, that Stevie Me seems to have very quickly picked up on.

They truly are the marketing masters of the bookmaking world. I tip my hat to them again and again.

Hearing that John McGinn to Aston Villa is a "done deal" looks like Lawell's penny pinching has come back to bite him. Don't even think Hibs were being unreasonable in their fee they were holding out for.

Morelos wins appeal. What an absolute joke Scottish fitba authorities are :angry:

As a fellow Dons fan I'm afraid I tend to agree with the tribunal, yellow seemed fair for a retaliatory little kick and McKenna should've also had a yellow for the barging off the ball twice that started it as the assistant was close by to see it. Guessing that's maybe not what the exact rules say (cant keep up
) but for me would have been more appropriate.

That is never a red card - you can see why it was removed on appeal , thats a poor decision and can see why Gerrard was annoyed

Not a great advert for Scottish football hierarchy.
Leaves it hard to teach young players when they see others kicking out , irrespective of force, and effectively getting away with it.
You will have young players (and grown men by some of the replies here) thinking it's ok to kick out when someone barges them.

Think that will be a good move for McGinn. Shame he won't stay at Hibs for another year, but.....

Aye Sevco hard done by.
The Masonic element of Scottish Football is alive and kicking.
Shay Logan got a 3 game ban for cupping her ear to the Celtic fans. Onion heid kicks out and gets the red card recinded.
