Perhaps the club will have light blue and white flags on seats (or clackers!) to do an Argentine Flag display when Ale Mac comes on to the pitch.

Other teams have welcomed their world cup winner onto the pitch pre match, think its appropriate to do the same. Not sure why anyone would be against that. Its a player we want to keep at the club, and its not like we commonly have world cup winners playing for us.
To my mind the time to do that has passed.

1 . . . Ally Mac took too long to return.
2 . . . Our fixture list was unkind and we didn't have a home match soon enough when he did eventually get back.

The World Cup is becoming all but a memory to many people.

It's not Ally Mac's fault that he took too long to return. He was quite rightly given the time off.

If there were some official acknowledgement next Saturday, I am sure people would join in enthusiastically. He's OUR hero!

The song that was being sung about him at Boro was class. Not sure of its origins but its unique and the words are perfect....To the tune of She's Electric Oasis..
He's Argentian
He only cost us a few million
He won the World Cup .....and he's brilliant
Mac Allister!
He’s loved from Brighton to Selsey
He‘s won the World Cup as well, si!
But soon he’ll be signing for Chelsea

He is going to get a huge reception anyway so doesn't need anything fancy but it would be nice if he could be substituted in the last minute and the substitution is announced with 'Number blah blah is replacing World Cup Winner blah blah blah. Obviously with a bit more enthusiasm than words on a screen. That would get all 4 sides of the ground on their feet.

Only the three sides, the Scousers probably won't put their hands together.

1. Club gave him until Jan 5th, he came back early because he wanted to get back to the team

What happened to his original song? Easy for all to get behind and sing loud and proud like Maupays, Bissoumas etc.

Don't want to criticise a potentially good song, but 'he only cost us a few million' scans far better.
In terms of scanning, I’m in the camp where you use the same number of syllables or beats as in the original. You’ve indicated 9 here. The original Oasis song has 11 in that line.

Are naughty words really necessary?
They aren't inclusive.
