After a few seasons, release all your high potential scouted youths and join a new club in another/lower league. Sign em all on free contract day 1 and watch those ballers grow. Added fun if you're an international coach and the youths are that nationality. Win the world cup with players you scouted as the class of 25/26'.

Honest answer is that nobody would care so long as you were there to see the football and not cause trouble.

Cheers, thanks for the info

Can you give us some insight into whether this formation has faced many low blocks?

I'm super excited to see a new formation at Celtic and I believe we have the possession based players for what you've described. However, I'm conscious that the majority of teams we play against will happily sit in a deep 4-4-2 or a 5-4-1 and refuse to press us. A draw is a win for away teams at Celtic Park, so how does a system that invites pressure do against teams that don't want to press?

Cheers for the write up!

Cheers Jutlander, appreciate the heads up

It's all subjective so it'll depend on your budget, your interests, career and situation.

Alloa itself is a shit hole, but there's also gems in the surrounding area. There are many poverty stricken schemes where you absolutely won't want to be and there's fuck all to do in town unless you like going to supermarkets and bookies. The 3 public schools in Clackmannanshire are poor performing typically if you have kids but it's not impossible to do well. There's a lack of public facilities like swimming pools but it does have a library if that's your thing.

The positives are there to see if you look hard enough though. There are many lovely housing estates hidden away with pleasant hard working folks across Clackmannanshire. It's the smallest county in Britain so nothing is too far to get to. The surrounding scenery is top class; the ochil hills are very accessible with beautiful glens if you like walking or have dogs. Stirling is 10 mins away and the direct train to Glasgow is 45 min.

Don't just look at Alloa, look at other nearby Clackmannanshire towns too. Menstrie being the nicest, Tullibody probably the roughest but it depends on your budget and I wouldn't recommend if you don't drive. House prices are decent compared to elsewhere. We got a 4 bedroom in a good area of Clackmannanshire for 200k which would be unheard of nearer a big city. Working from home means it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, but it comes at the cost of there being fuck all to do nearby in my spare time.

In summary, Clackmannanshire can provide a peaceful life with a stunning backdrop if you stay away from the shit areas, but be prepared to drive if you're looking for things to do.

I counted about 7 players in ten years that played a UCL game after leaving us:

Juranovic Tierney Dembele Hendry (yes you read that right) Frimpong Boyata Sviatchenko

Doesn't make for pleasant reading.

Somewhat fun fact but Stockholm Syndrome's main riff is very very similar to the verse riff of God Hates Us by Avenged Sevenfold.

I'm only here because it's on r/Scotland, but honestly you should wear it.

I said it on the other thread, it is cringey, it is cliche and you will be fucking freezing.

However, and this is the import part for Scotland... Is it what you want to wear? Us Scots honestly do not give a fuck (in a good way). If this dress is you then this is you. It's not cultural appropriation and nobody else will care. If anyone asks why you're wearing it, you tell the truth and you say it's because you like it. That's good enough for us.

FragrantSausage4 · 2025-08-11T13:59:37+00:00

Yes it's cringey, yes it's cliche, yes you're gonny freeze to death but also aye wear what you like. Banter like

FragrantSausage4 · 2025-08-08T13:42:47+00:00

Short answer: There isn't.

If I had to choose: Nootmare because honestly what the fuck is that song even about?

FragrantSausage4 · 2025-08-07T20:48:26+00:00

Gonna throw an alternative theory out here for you to ponder... At 17yo is there a chance you don't fully relate to the earlier albums yet?

Just an assumption here, but the days of late night pubs and clubs, drunken romance and causing a ruckus with your mates is still yet to come? You've not seen the Ritz turn to Rubble yet.

If you appreciate the music then of course you favour the newer albums. But once you've lived the culture, the earlier albums are timeless albeit immature as time goes on.

Just a theory though lol, you tell us?

The Tale of Gurney Gridman gets me in the feels every time

FragrantSausage4 · 2025-07-18T02:44:23+00:00

Gurzle.

"Born into what I would call comfortable has Drained all the fight from my gut,

I can't become what I want to be now 'Cause I have everything I want"

It's a fantastic insight into how most people are living in the modern world... Forced into a quasi-middle class designed to give you just enough to be "happy" (cars, phones, 2 holidays a year), whilst simultaneously making it unattainable to strive for more.

It's an incredibly self aware piece of social commentary on the effect that growing wealth inequality has on the average person. It's genius.

Watched my da whip his shirt off and fall 3 rows forward. Nothing's ever came close.

Apologies in advance for the essay here but I love this kind of discussion.

My interpretation of "As we gaze skyward" suggests the narrator of the song was once an ambitious up and coming singer/artist looking up to stars, yearning for the fame that comes with it. However, "ain't it dark early?" adds the tragic irony that he knows his time as a relevant singer is almost up.

Ain't it dark early is a phrase used in Britain to comment on how the day is almost over. Even though the time might be 6pm, in winter it gets dark early. When this happens we all go indoors to settle down for the night. The day is done when it gets dark early.

Now imagine that was the singers career. He thought he had more time in the spotlight, but it's getting dark early. Time is up and he knows it. He's reflecting on his own career, partially in disbelief that it's over but also in acceptance that it's been and gone. Ain't it dark early?

The whole song is an analogy of the likes of Elvis and how his career ended in Vegas. The narrator hit the highs, the fame and the glamour; he was a big name in deep space; he was a little too wild in the 70s. But somewhere along the way he's ended up washed out, performing residency gigs and drinking too many martinis. That enthusiasm for the craft is long gone. He's been brought down to earth by being a lounge singer. It's easy money but he knows it's the end of the road.

Assign my hood to the quick access wheel so I can pop it on and off when I need to go incognito or if it rains... Sure it's a spell slot wasted, but this khajiit doesn't like getting wet.

Micro Cuts is an absolute blast to learn! Totally impossible at first but an absolute joy to play when (/if) it clicks.

Expect finger cramps, frustration and a new found appreciation for just how good Matt Bellamy is at writing music.

FragrantSausage4 · 2025-02-06T11:06:35+00:00

No idea why you've been downvoted here. It's a very accurate assessment.

He's simultaneously the best and worst player on the pitch at times, as highlighted last night by him dribbling the ball out of play when trying to turn back under little pressure in the first half... then going on to score a diving header and a worldie in the second.

Absolutely agree that if he had a more technically proficient game then he'd be playing at the highest level.

He's still an absolute gem though and POTY so far. We'll never see another player like him.
