thoughts? agree with WGS on it wasnt just 1 man who got them into this mess, there was people around who knew it was happening etc always good banter wae gordy! but made some valid points

[Bundy]

A lot of sense in what he said there. I remember loads of Celtic fans who hated Strachan initially because of signings without putting a bit of time into realising the boundaries that were put upon him financially. Celtic done very well during his time while reducing their debt immensely.
Another good point was how fans just see transfer fees but forget there's a wage attached to that which can cost far more in the long term. One of the reasons I've always supported Scottish clubs using young Scottish players. Smaller wage bill and if they become a success, you either keep that player or sell them on for a profit.

Strachan is a legend. I love listening to him.

Not an uncommon viewpoint JHR. I like his straightforward talking but it can be a bit too much at times

Bundy way of topic here but sure you will know the answer to this. Between Bridgeton & Argyle Street there is the remains of a disused rail station, what was it called ?

[Bundy]

It was called Glasgow Green JHR. It was only a few hundred yards from Bridgeton too

Should have added, Glasgow Cross was another but I think it's the first one you were after

The thing that annoyed me sometimes was the smartarseness when asked decent questions

They both closed before I was born but I remember using Bridgeton Central Station when I was a wean.

Sheepy, he was pretty bad for that TBH. Even during the interview posted he described Grimsby as "rubbish" and although that may be true it didn't need to be said

[craig]

I enjoyed his humorous comments, but I'm not sure i would feel the same if he was manager of my team

[SheenyBob]

I care the same for what strachan says the same i care for the views of the other arses who put their twopence worth in. Hartson in particular, the trash talking media whore that he is.

for his columns, mostly one sided views.

Of course he has mostly one sided views, what do you expect ? I dont have a problem with that just like i dont have a problem with Andy Walker or Murdo McLeod for example.

Those guys, like Hately, imo, come across as descent individuals who dont just spout shite for the sake of getting there mugs on the box or sell newspapers, they are purely football men and have a slightly one sided slant of course. Genuinely descent chaps.

Hartson on the other hand, like Craig Burley make a living out of spouting pish which by design is to provoke reaction and cause upset. Their media careers are based on purely that.

Just my opinion
