"Anya was born in Glasgow, Scotland and grew up in the Castlemilk area as a devout Christian and supports Rangers.[1] His father is a Nigerian research scientist, and his mother a Romanian economist. The couple met while studying at the universities in Bucharest. After finishing their studies his parents moved to Scotland in the late 1980s for his father to obtain his doctorate in metallurgy."
Interesting!

Anya was impressive last night, good crosser.

He impressed me at times by not crossing - he seems like a wide player who actually considers his options rather than just lumping balls in - an essential requirement in a team full of wee guys.

(xp) Pretty sure Best wouldn't have been there at all but for haggis-munching planters - so we would have had him, anyway a bad outcome all round

Yeah, would have taken years off both men's lives and possibly some of their teammates

It's unfair to single out one player in all this shite but fuck Alan Hutton.
― grown-arsed man (onimo), Friday, 15 November 2013 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
USA looking awful. Scotland looking tentative, like 0-0 is better than attacking and risking defeat.
One shot on target between them in an hour :(

One in the eye for the Scott Brown criticisers (the half time pundits, and Keevins giving him gyp in the paper yesterday for having the audacity to have some Scotland caps, ffs, really, in a world where Alan fucking Hutton was our most-capped player on the park tonight, he lamps into Brown?)
What a shit game though.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 19 November 2013 19:58 (ten years ago) link
Yeah really. I missed the USA game - was it similar?
God keevins is such a cunt

It's the traditional colours, no? I'm all for it. Needs a traditional unicorn rampant on the badge though, the more weirdness the better.

Looks less pink in that ad than the picture I've seen with Skoosh wearing it. In that it's the same colour as the salmon monstrosity.

I've been biding my time and decided I quite like that strip btw. It feels like it wouldn't be out of place in the graphic design 1945-69 thread.
