Following the discussions around Michael Gardyne, Leigh Griffiths and Charlie Adam, who is the Scottish footballer/manager who has had the biggest redemption arc in Scottish football?
My personal argument would be for Partick Thistle manager Ian "Jobby" McCall, who aside from shiting in Simon Stainrod's shoes was quite renowned for a bunch of other arseholy behaviour as a player.
Any better?
I have to start with Nenah Cherry being an Aberdeen fan.
Apostrophe or no? This is for editing formal published writing, and I can’t seem to find a definitive answer anywhere. Thank you!
Messi just won the Ballon d'Or, but would he be the most effective if it was in the SPFL? No doubt he would rip the pish out of it, but would it be as much as other players? Im not sure.
Born: May 13, 1922, 1 brother, 1 sister. Mother was a Russian immigrant. Grew up within walking distance from basketball courts at Recreation Park, where he was always the youngest player on the court by 2-3 years.
The Human Projectile. The Syracuse Speedster. Bullet Bill. Binghamton Bill. Billy the Bullet. This isn’t a group of sprinters, lined up waiting on the firing of the starting pistol. This is one ball player. The hardwood variety. A cager, a basketeer, a sharpshooter. These words were used in the papers to describe William Gabor. Open a newspaper and any article that mentions his name most likely includes him in the headline. From Binghamton to Syracuse, Billy would grab the headlines from high school to college to the pros and beyond.
Nicknamed "Bullet,'' Gabor was one of the fastest players ever. In 1976, Michigan coach Johnny Orr said one of his Wolverines guards was the fastest player he had seen since Billy Gabor.
High School- Binghamton Central High School
Played halfback on football team.
1937-38- Led Southern Tier Conference in scoring
1938-39- Named All-Eastern Division All-Star Forward, Southern Tier Conference
Three straight state basketball championships
College- Syracuse University
Nicknamed “The Bullet” for his quickness and speed on the court, the 5’ 11” Gabor set a number of individual scoring records in a Syracuse University basketball uniform. Billy was a tremendous playmaker and prolific scorer, and the first Syracuse player to have a significant career in the NBA.
1942-43, Freshman: Billy played at Syracuse in the 1942-43 season. As a freshman, Gabor did not play in Syracuse's first five games of the 1942-43 season. Syracuse was 1-6 when coach Lew Andreas put Gabor in the starting lineup. Gabor responded with 22 points in a 52-51 win over Cornell. During his freshman season he would set the single game scoring record of 28 points (which would be broken three days later by Bob Shaddock). To put that in perspective, Jonny Flynn set the SU freshman record for most points in his college debut with 28 points against Siena. Technically, Gabor didn't score 22 points in his college debut, but he did score 22 points in his second college game and his first career start.
He averaged 12.1 points a game his freshman year, before World War II called him to duty. He served as a bombardier and Lieutenant in the Army Air Corp.
1945-46, Sophomore: Two seasons later in 1945, Gabor returned to college and basketball. His first season

Have to head down south for work next week and looking for recommendations of where will be showing the Celtic v Hearts game on 2nd?
Players like "a fit Lee Griffiths" and "Paddy Mccourt on his day". Mythical beings that were glimpsed once or twice, or perhaps never even existed, but should they show up they would run the show.
I keep seeing people saying VAR will possibly be coming to Scotland soon as there are meetings lined up to discuss it within the relevant governing bodies. What does everyone think of the idea and how would you all implement it if it’s a yes?
edit: this is NOT another Ryan Porteous tackle post. I’ve just noticed increased interest in it recently.
