But when then they do and a genuine player starts to perform at the level of their ability, it’s a fabulous thing to witness. Let’s hope this is a Scott Allan scenario.
All Portuguese speakers are impressive :)Quote:

Plus He’ll be able to swear at Scottish refs and get away with it ;)
Has a got a song yet?
The obvious one is to the tune of Spandeu Ballets ‘Gold’ but for many that’s been retired after Rob Jones left

Portuguese is the 9th most commonly spoken language in the world, using the most recent estimates. It has a not too dissimilar number of speakers as French and more speakers than German and I'm assuming most people would consider being able to speak either of these languages to be beneficial.Quote:

Due to Brazil's size and influence in South America, Portuguese is widely spoken as a second language in several other South American nations and is an official language of the South American trade bloc.
Due to Portugal's colonial past, it's also an official language in countries in Africa and Asia so it's certainly a language which has a global reach and I think that with Gauld being bilingual will help him when he's looking for work after he finishes playing.
Ryan Gauld, back ti the cauld. Repeat to fade....or Going for Gauld, Shed 7...Quote:

I just think it’s impressive how much he’s been able to pick it up, sounds fluent almostQuote:

If so, that's obviously where I went wrong, as I tried to learn Spanish when I was young.
Oh since you signed
We now have the magic that is Ryan Gauld
With dreams of Cup Glory
I am told
Oh Ryan Gauld, Ryan Gauld
Time for the Rob Jones song to resurface?
Something based on Heart of Gold by Neil Young? “We crossed the oceans for a Ryan Gauld”
We're missing a trick if we don't try to get Scott Brown to play beside him so we can sing "Gauld and Brown".

Before deciding what song we could sing about him, could we maybe just wait to see if he's actually any good?
I remember when Gauld initially moved abroad it was mentioned that he was getting a Portuguese language coach for evening lessons.
Nah - I’m down at ER singing songs now. Not about Ryan Gauld to be fair.Quote:
