I was in the new Baird’s and I liked it, it isn’t the same though. I actually think a lot of pubs and pub companies are doing themselves out of business by not catering for different markets. There used to be pubs for different occasions, times and situations. It is harder to find the dodgy kip now.
 There used be a decent dive bar near me. The clientele was heavy drinking regulars by day, music fans at night and football fans at weekends. It had some cracking punk and ska nights, barely drinkable beer but very cheap shots and bottles. It kicked all the regulars out, had a refurbishment and is now empty every time I walk past. 

In saying that, I was in Scotland for the first time in a while recently and found there was a better mix. The Central Bar in Leith is still as it was! Change from a fiver for two drinks, everybody a different level of drunk and the worst pub band I have heard. Tremendous.

Egerton arms in Stockport like that, £1.80 for pint of John Smith's, £2.30 for Carling, mix of pikeys, Bagheads, oaps, homeless lads stinking place out, and the hi vis brigade after work. Bar half the crowd,  go bust, change owners, let everyone back in and same thing again. Dukebox free and half the fights start over that.

No suitable thread

Billy Gilmour named in the U21 squad.
Surprised he wasn’t put into the senior squad. He looked great for Chelsea the last 2 games.

Bremner not going to put up any resistance there! Venables in the background.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Dunno how I could have discussed this without referencing one of my favourite football photos of all time:



Anyhow, this guy has an interesting take on Mackay:

Note that when Sir Alex Ferguson and Hugh McIlvanney got together to pick their greatest ever Scotland team, not only did they include Mackay, but they made him Captain.

P.S. Apparently he was proud of his record of never getting sent off in his entire career!

The Scots were too tight to pay for their transport home so said they were injured

Deeply flawed as he was (just like Jimmy Johnstone) Jim Baxter played some of his best football in a Scotland jersey. He lived to take on England and torment them on the pitch. That's why we picked him and it frequently payed off. Judging Jim Baxter on his time at Sunderland and Forest is rank stupidity. Using the same rule of them, Jimmy Johnstone should be written off because his spell at Sheffield Utd was underwhelming. Nonsense. Baxter was a Scotland great.
In just 5 years with Rangers, Baxter gained 27 caps, whilst (his contemporary) Gilzean gained 22 caps during 16 years at the top level with Dundee and Spurs.
As for Baxter's time at Sunderland and Forest, my point was despite by then being a drunk who was crippled by injury, he still gained another 7 caps.
Meanwhile, Johnstone deserved every one of his caps because they were all gained playing for a great Celtic team - he was never capped again after leaving Parkhead, which was probably right.

Stan Matthews and Pele both rated Baxter very highly but what the feck did they two ever know about football ........
I'll see your Matthews and Pele and raise you my Bill Nicholson, Jimmy Greaves, Johann Cruyff and Miljan Miljanic, all of whom were effusive in their admiration for Gilzean.

Willie Henderson was an excellent Scotland player. Admired and valued for his consistency, determination and effort which were what led to him being a regular over Cooke and rightly so.
So it's "consistency, determination and effort" you're after?
Cooke played over 500 League games (alone) for Aberdeen, Dundee, Chelsea and Palace in a career spanning 18 years. He got 16 caps.
Meanwhile, his contemporary Henderson got nearly twice as many caps during 12 years, all spent with Rangers.

Dave Mackay was amongst our best players but he was not the very best. That's between Dalglish and Law. As I've said before, Mackay got a fair amount of caps, to complain that he "only got 22 caps" is ignoring the fact that there were fewer friendlies played then, only one substitution allowed and less European countries available to play against.
I'm not saying Mackay was "better" than Law or Dalglish, but he undoubtedly deserves to be mentioned in the same regard as a true great. Yet whilst Law got 55 caps, Mackay got a mere 22 over much the same period.
And Dalglish got a (well-deserved) 102 caps. I don't think Scotland played nearly five times as many games during his era.
