    I’ve never actually been. I’ve been to Tynecastle, that’s a ****ty ground.

    Motherwell is also a nightmare, as an away fan you are funnelled into the away end and there’s only one way in and one way out, it’s dreadful.

    Sometimes it's much of a muchness, the fans claim the ref is biased, and every team had a scapegoat.

    It was a decent ground to be fair. Seemed much bigger than the attendance suggested. Open corners and two tier stands. Decent ground.

    There was a guy working for Council who had racked up 1500 grounds. He pretty much went out every weekend and even overseas holidays were around ground visits.

    Crazy but admirable.

    The owner sounds like a vile character. Just have a thought for the lad's family. It's bad enough arguing over the transfer fee but this is just sick.

    The owner owns the business, they'll never own the club.

    The owners are mere custodians, as I told Paul Duffen once. I think it was Stoke away and some lickspittle was toadying up to him, I heard him say 'it's just my hand on the tiller', I interjected with 'what's that, your hand is in the till'? He replied with 'it's my till', so I countered with ' it may be your till, but it's our effin' club'.
    Fair play to him in many interviews afterwards he acknowledged that.
