you mean 'the world's favourite bank'. The same one that asked my GF if Australia was in the EU and has a habit of blocking your cards should you dare spend a single penny anywhere south of the Isle of Wight

Brazil 1970 also drop points against Hamilton According to BBC stats Hamilton had no corners and only 1 shot on goal which they scored Carlos Alberto's other team had 11 corners and 9 shots on goal.

Boom Sevco done by Dundee

I presume the Broch will be FORCED to move the game to Pittodrie, Tannadice or Caley. Also be interested to see if Albion are allowed to play St Johnstone at Clifton Hill.

Malcolm Young gone leaving only Angus from the original founders/line up (I think). Lucky enough to see him play on their Black ice tour but he really didn't look well at that time (as can be seen in this video)

Apart from their stupid 'foul on the black, automatically lose the game' rule

Chris McLaughlin seems to have moved his interest to Michael o'Neil now. Think we will have to wait until this time next year when the next SEVCO guy either quits or gets his marching orders.

OOT!!!

Arabs dumped out of challenge cup by Crusaders. A tactical defeat so they can concentrate on promotion...or just general shite-ness?

Alex Rae sniffed out by the Red tops again and allegedly saying he would like to see McLeish given a second try Herald chucking Holland's favourite englishman's name about.

soooooo he's still wearing red then?

I'm sure a pointless friendly against Gibraltar or Rockall will be hastily arranged about this time 2 years from now

Louis Theroux's documentary on Scientology. Whole thing has a hint of 'invasion of the body-snatchers about it, or Rosemary's baby

Not sure it if has been mentioned already but the bizarre habit of sending emails from your smartphone when you require something 'urgently' rather than selecting that little keypad, punching in some numbers and speaking to the person. A typical example is; 'I've got a meeting in 10mins/ I'm currently sat with someone: can you please send/ confirm 'something''. This is usually CC'd into as many people as possible for which I now assume is the senders attempt at showing they were being pro-active and you are the person hindering them for having the gall not to be glued to your work email. These people also tend to send emails about 1min after refusing to answer your attempted telephone call.

Agree. Unlike yon tic they don't have the 'proper' Irish connection which appeals to so many people around the world. Yes they have supporters worldwide but I reckon that is purely down to scottish expats rather than having a worldwide brand. We aren't talking Liverpool or Man United's following in Africa which I believe started due to the BBC World Service. Don't recall Sevco getting invited to these supposed money spinning tournaments in the states featuring Man City, Real Madrid etc. In fact I believe they recently had a glamour friendly cancelled in Canada due to 'slow ticket sales. I will accept Celtic are a worldwide brand but their blue cousins will always be hangers on. Side-note: Celtic shop at Glasgow Airport. Sevco used to have one but it vanished years ago.

Off the ball mentioned the scenario where certain managers or players actually commute long distances so they don't uproot their families and the prospect of working closer to their families being a big factor. Anyone happen to know if McInnes actually lives in or around Aberdeen or if he commutes and his family are based in the central belt?

Quick glance at the stats In my lifetime only 7 English top league titles have been won by English managers 19 have been won by Scottish Managers

Since the money grabbing Joke league was created the winning managers have been as follows 1992/93 - Scottish 1993/94 - Scottish 1994/95 - Scottish 1995/96 - Scottish 1996/97 - Scottish 1997/98 - French 1998/99 - Scottish 1999/00 - Scottish 2000/01 - Scottish 2001/02 - French 2002/03 - Scottish 2003/04 - French 2004/05 - Portuguese 2005/06 - Portuguese 2006/07 - Scottish 2007/08 - Scottish 2008/09 - Scottish 2009/10 - Italian 2010/11 - Scottish 2011/12 - Italian 2012/13 - Scottish 2013/14 - Chillean 2014/15 - Portuguese 2015/16 - Italian 2016/17 - Italian

I see yon Jambos have drawn up a 'plan B' just incase the new stand isn't ready for November 5th. I'm starting to wonder if they are using the same project management team & contractors as were used to build the tram network. They have 13 games left in 2017 of which 10 are meant to be at home. Murrayfield is booked for 2 of them and they may have the option of using it for the November 5th but after that they may have to go crawling to Hibs, Livingston & Edinburgh City.

Anyone happen to know how tall the Syrian national team is? Forced to play all their home games in Malaysia with fuck all funding or facilities and yet they managed to get out of their groups and the Aussies needed extra time and a red card to finally put them out. They must all be 7ft tall

Looks like Slovakia are heading out. Their only chance of getting a playoff spot is for Greece to draw or lose to Gibraltar and Bosnia to beat Estonia.

Wales OOT!! I know its not much to cling to but this has cheered me up a little.
