  1. Well at least that threw the anchor into the water. Perhaps next week it will catch something
  2. Yon tic potentially collapsing in the rain? Shame it seems to make no difference in the spfl.
  3. Where did I say 'strategy'? My suggestion is the over reliance on the media to tell us what is popular, what is bad and even what to be scared off is perhaps hindering some people's natural instincts. The media goes into a frenzy with high school shootings (understandable given a gun has a wider destruction range) but stories about incidents in western schools involving knives and even machetes are either not covered or forgotten after a few days even though they happen everyday. Would those same students have assumed it was a joke and asked for photos had the masked stranger been carrying a hand gun? When did someone in your immediate vicinty who is carrying a large bladed weapon become something you find amusing?
  4. Slightly related but given the events in Sweden today is it possible that the fear of guns is being over-emphasized yet the fear of knives, swords etc is being gradually 'removed' from society? A masked stranger carrying a sword walks into your school and your first instinct is to assume its a joke and ask to have your photo taken with him. Something to post on facebook etc. Its only when he stabs your teacher do you get the message something is wrong. The incident is horrific but the initial attitude and apparently ignorance of danger and their own mortality is seriously concerning.

  6. I think the biggest question is still 'What do you do for a living?'
  7. Aussies have already seen off the all -blacks so have no fear of anyone I see the refs performance review is out fairly soon although some social media outlets seem to be implying there is a chance the match could be awarded to Scotland. For me this incident highlights the failings of not thinking through the TMO. For such technology to exist and to restrict its use of specific incidents was always leaving world rugby open to a fuck up like this. I presume that unlike Tennis (and I believe American Football) the captains and/or managers do not have the opportunity to 'challenge' a decision? If so I would put money on that being introduced fairly sharpish after the tournament. Anyway I hope the Argies win it but if not them, anyone but the fucking All-blacks. Great Country, horrible horrible Rugby Team
  8. So I take it your profession(s) are to remain a mystery?
  9. Curiosity. When I see or hear someone attack any profession I find it easier to understand their point of view when I know their line of work. I also find it interesting this post appeared so soon after an altercation on another thread with a teacher.
  10. Old Mixu having another crack at the SPL Just wonder if having Macnamara still in the back room will hinder or help him
  11. Albania on course to qualify 2-0 up on Armenia Thats from a group containing Portugal, Denmark, & Serbia. Cant say I could see Scotland qualifying from that group
  12. Jim Diamond - 64 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34495175

  14. Arabs just been told by Caley to fuck off with regards to Hughes Does anyone in Scottish football think outside the box with regards to new managers? How long before they get told to fuck off my Ross County, Hamilton, and eventually Kilmarnock before poaching Alan Stubbs?
  15. Even worse news Appears Chick Young may not be retiring after all. Have to put up with him until we fail to qualify for Russia
  16. So in the words of Jim Bowen 'Lets have a look at what we could have won' Qualified France Iceland (Take a Look SFA!!!) Czech Republic England Northern Ireland (Take a Look SFA!!!) Austria Portugal Spain Switzerland Italy Wales (Take a Look SFA!!!) Belgium Albania (Take a look SFA!!!) Romania Germany Poland Russia Slovakia Turkey Croatia Hungary Republic of Ireland Ukraine Sweden
  17. They'd only need a draw. I suspect an Alex Smith effort which will see them play for the draw and then end up losing rendering scotlands scrappy 1-0 win in Faro irrelevant
  18. Soooooooo Glorious failure once again I see. I've got a terrible stream but whoever keeps playing backpasses to Marshall needs hooked ASAP. Yer supposed to give your own keeper a chance FFS
  19. New series of the Ricky Gervais show or Extras still on hold again
