Nothing unusual about Masonic refereeing, as we all know. Especially when it's at Ibrox AND the hegemony of the Weegie duopoly is threatened. That shows you just how good our 70's and 80's teams were, to overcome that.

They would indeed.

Smith and Scott were a formidable team and if only Hateley hadn't got away with his Hunnery... Many also overlook Miller's first 2 seasons in charge; we pushed a cheating Hun team (who were unbeaten in Europe that year and 90mins away from the CL final) all the way in all 3 competitions, then got another runner-up finish and were a whisker away from knocking Torino (one of the top 3 teams in Italy FFS) out of Europe. If the European format was like today's, we'd have been Champions League regulars and looking at a very different post-millennium history. Conversely, McInnes did a great job for 5 years, but had no Sevco, then a weakened form, with neither Edinburgh team at the races and both enduring relegations. Once the playing field caught up, we stagnated and eventually went backwards.

If I'd been asked a year ago, I'd have said Fury is too big and powerful, especially as Usyk (unlike Holyfield for instance) still looks like a Cruiserweight rather than a genuine Heavyweight. Since then, my doubts have crept in and I've a feeling an upset is on the cards. We'll see.

Exactly what I said before; it gets on my fucking nerves listening to those Uncle Paddy types, slagging off Scottish football to gain favour with their former colonisers. They're as bad as the Plastic Paddies who sing their "Chucky songs" while living and working in England and taking the Queen's coin for a living.

Off to Bulgaria in the summer for a week. Haven't been in a decade and a half, so looking forward to seeing how it's come on. Beautiful country.

The Titanic Museum is well worth a visit, or if you like the great outdoors, the Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle (GoT territory).

Beaton gives Tavernier a penalty. Like clockwork.

Calling other AFC fans losers at the drop of a Hat (pun intended) is poor form. Politicians are a parasitic class deserving of derision and mockery, but with a few exceptions, i would have thought Dandies would at least be more cordial. They're enough Hunnery in this world without us stooping to that level.

Fergie always says he is one of the greatest (more specifically, penalty box) defenders he's ever seen. Hard to argue, he was a natural. The way he read the game was something you can't learn and can't teach, you've either got it or you haven't.

You make very good points there, but I think there would be a realignment in general, with a key development being a re-emergence of the centre-right. That ground is toxic in Scotland in recent decades, due to its dominance by an out of touch (with all but the SE bubble) Tory Party, but I think a Scottish-centric centre-right party would see a real resurgence, which can only be good for democracy in general. If anything, I think it's the cosy centre-left between the mainstream parties that holds the country back, as there's less to distinguish them from one another, save the constitutional question. Funny? No, but given the damage politicians (of all colours) do to society, they deserve to be mocked. You can call me a loser all you like (you know nothing about me whatsoever) but when you have posters on here brag about shagging dodgy loose women and/or getting so drunk they piss/shit themselves in public, your "loser" analogy becomes subjective. Besides, you detract from my points made, which are the SNP post-2014 have been nothing short of a disaster - and their biggest critics are often independence supporters. I've no love for Rowling (I often asked rhetorically if she'd have been so enthusiastic to support the "Better Together" campaign a decade ago, if she was still that struggling single mum?) but this law is an insidious and sinister piece of garbage. Hopefully it will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history alongside other authoritarian nonsense, where it belongs.

I've never heard of Law being a Hun, hasn't he been on record several times saying he wishes he played for AFC? 🤷‍♂️

I said as far back as 2016 the SNP would never deliver independence. Oh how I was derided, especially from bandwagon jumpers who only joined after Krankie MacMerkel took over. Well, they're not so smug now... Though a sizeable number still regurgitate the same pish from Yousless and co. about how independence is "just around the corner". I'm not a gambling man, but I'll bet with anyone that a United Ireland happens before an independent Scotland. For me, the only question mark is what excuse the SNP pension grifters and careerist chancers like Wishart, McDonald, Robertson et al will foist upon the dwindling faithful.

As much as I have affinity with the Irish, some of their football fans are utter morons and Keane is one of them; all "proud Irishmen" but when it suits them, they deride Scottish football and talk up their English team. What have Keane's home team Cork City achieved in recent years? Fuck all, because too many Paddy's are glory-hunting the Sassenach teams instead of getting behind their own. Cockwomble.
