He reminds me a lot of Norman Whiteside.
He was an absolute clogger who got away with murder most weeks in a red shirt, and was rarely booked.
He then went to Everton, and, from memory (correct me if I've got this wrong), he was booked 7 times and sent off in his first 10 games, for fouls he used to get away with at the swamp.
McTominay has all the same attributes in his game, and it will be interesting to see how he fares on the disciplinary front if he ever leaves the rags.
The rags must be sponsored by the Klingons, as they seem to have a cloaking device in place when committing fouls, as referees and VAR never seem to see them.

Other than Kicking someone to the ground McTominay has nothing.

Theatre of Conference League...

That’ll go well with that Country Road shite they sing

I just don't understand them with Rashford. He's never been good.

His scoring record is average, his footballing intelligence and first touch are poor, and his only real attribute is his pace and directness.

He's like Welbeck but injured less often.

He'll end up with someone like Southampton and have a reasonable PL career, but he'll never be successful at the top level.

I’ve never understood it either.
Btw you forgot that he’s a lazy fucker as well!

Their raggish muppet fans booed their darling team off at the end but no mention of that in any commentary or article.

For next week a song …
“Fake Ronaldo Fake Ronaldo what a difference you have made… what a difference you have made”

… only to be heard as long as we are at least 3 or 4 up ( been to too many 2 goals to the good and come off second best!)

I can think of a number of other songs for that **** which will be getting an airing.

Just watching motd and it all sounds really strange. Are they giving tons of tickets away to kids or something? When the prancing pony hit the post in the opening in minutes it sounded like one of those England v Scotland youth internationals. Seemed the same all game. Fucking weird.

19 points behind their near neighbours, who only need a maximum of 15 more to ensure that they finish above the raggy twats for a ninth consecutive season, despite certain promises being made in the past.

And no where near the England squad

That’s probably because he is Scottish!

Genuinely didn't even know they played. What an irrelevant club they've become. Long may it continue.

We put the Brentford-Newcastle game on. I didn’t even realise that they were playing at 3:00 until after the games had started.

To be fair those Wednesday night UCL followed by Saturday afternoon turnarounds are really tough. Not something theyll have to worry about next year.

From watching MOTD highlights only, seemed one of those days for them. They created a lot and a 3-0 win would have been a standard result for what they created
Far from a gimme next Sunday
