  1. Appears to be another revenge shooting in the states 3 cops dead and 5 injured in Baton Rouge. Shot with an assault rifle. I believe the last time there was serious civil unrest across the nation (civil rights movement) assault rifles etc werent readily available at your local gun merchant. The yankee desperation to hold onto their 2nd amendment could easily erupt into a second civil war only this time the uniforms for each side will come from Abercromby and fitch
  2. Celebrities dying - The world celebrity culture really kicked off about 66years ago as global travel and communication became easier and televisions started to become more affordable. Ergo in the next 5-10 years you are going to see more and more of the musicians, television and film stars who started out back then and had the monopoly of the pre satelite TV multi-channel coverage leaving this mortal coil. Hatred all around? Is it any worse than it has always been? Perhaps the difference is with the likes of social media, 24 hour news etc you hear more about it and its even easier for governments (and the likes of Murdoch) to use it to influence and scare the weak minded, the desperate etc. Your last part intrigues and worries me. He was a muslim (or at least from a predominantly muslim country) who had been arrested for smaller crimes yet he could not be detained as a suspected mass murdering terrorist? Whats your point here? I'm now thinking back to the days of the Guildford 4 when having an Irish accent and history of Petty theft and Assault would get you locked up for 20years for bombing a London Pub Based on what I have seen the attacker was a Tunisian man (Former french colony), who was estranged from his wife & kids (domestic violence) who never attended his local mosque (so was he really a muslim?), drank alcohol (forbidden in Islam), kept himself to himself and had been done for road rage for which he fully complied with his suspended sentence. Lets see now, Alcohol drinking, non-church attending, wife beater who no longer sees his wife and kids and has been done for stuff like road rage or aggravated assault by the local cops. If that's the criteria for security forces to detain someone then we are going to need to start building prisons sharpish as the cops could clear out most of the male populations of deprived areas. Or can they only do it if the suspect happens to either be a practicing muslim, from a muslim family, from a country that is predominantly musilm, or just have an arabic sounding name?
  3. Gets to play in the English Championship for at least one season which is probably a better career stepping stone than the SPFL
  4. Arbroath snatch a late 'handball' equaliser so the Arabs had to make do with a penalty kicks win
  5. Seems something big is kicking off in Turkey Military have closed bridges in Istanbul and apparently there are now tanks at the airport. Gunshots and low flying jets in Ankara too Government about to be overthrown perhaps?
  6. You can give up now. Off to Burton Albion
  7. I'm suspecting it is a case of them being scared of having to be an actual opposition rather than merely being a large group of MPs behind a red banner who wait patiently for a couple of elections before giving their blue counterparts a break. 20 years of essentially being the same as the tories and now their 'pet' socialist telling them its time they actually did some work
  8. It appears Rodgers has been reading 'The Mark McGhee Guide to Post Match Press Conferences'
  9. Soooo Celtic (The champions) lose to a team from Gibralter Aberdeen (2nd) lose the away leg of their tie with a Luxembourg Team Hearts (3rd) make heavy going of beating a team from Estonia. But the SPFL wont care as they have their old firm matches back
  10. LORD Kinnock gets his 50p worth in the press today. Think they have now run out of living ex labour party leaders. I can only presume their next stop will be John Smith's Family

    Andy Murray

    Come back when he's won 8 singles Grandslams, 2 Doubles Grandslams, 4 mixed Doubles Grandslams and 4 Davis Cups
  12. Had already made 3 subs before his injury. Was it better to play with a passenger of just go down to 10? we'll never know now
  13. Already a protest group http://www.nokingsfordstadium.org.uk/2016/07/03/update-controlled-parking-zone-for-westhill/
  14. Oh for fuck sake what has Mcinnes been doing these last few weeks?
  15. Hearts 1-0 down at home to the Estonians Dons should be 1-0 down too. Scottish football on the rise eh?
  16. Mysterious disallowed goal there? Mind You Red TV dont have that many camera angles to judge
  17. Some classic AFC defending there Just let them walk right through and should have scored. Fortunately they hit the post.
  18. Angela Eagle has stepped up to challenge him Anyone know much about her as all I have seen is a clip of her resignation interview with the BBC in which she looked far from convincing?
  19. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/top-gear-matt-leblanc-vows-to-quit-unless-chris-evans-is-sacked-rory-reid-eddie-jordan-labour-crisis-a7105186.html
  20. Seems Le Blanc is threatening to quit if Evans isnt sacked. Only caught the end of the rolls royce bit on sunday but Evans really was irritating at the end of Le Blancs review. Jumping about like a petulant child.
  21. https://www.facebook.com/carly.t.catherine/videos/10157049589060322/
  22. Kilmarnock sign 11 (ELEVEN) players in one day. Nothing like having a stable squad 3 weeks before the season starts
  23. Hasnt taken long has it. Some headline last week about Brendan Rogers saying next season wont just be a two horse race between the old firm Now the journos have their word count filler by linking the blue hordes with any decent SPFL player
  24. Personally hoping for an Belgium, Italy, Iceland & Hungary clean sweep tomorrow Albania would qualify for the next round and Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic & McGeady would fuck off home
  25. Be interested to see if Lafferty is recalled for the Germany game. Still have no idea why anyone rates him
