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.

I think the biggest question is still 'What do you do for a living?'

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

So I take it your profession(s) are to remain a mystery?

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.

What do you do for a living?

Old Mixu having another crack at the SPL Just wonder if having Macnamara still in the back room will hinder or help him

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

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?

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

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

And the Scottish fuck us over

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

And the irish fuck us over

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

New series of the Ricky Gervais show or Extras still on hold again

Defenders Andrew Considine 1 Graeme Shinnie 1 Ash Taylor 3 Paul Quinn 1 Shay Logan 3 Midfielders Niall McGinn 7 Kenny McLean 6 Peter Pawlett 1 Johnny Hayes 4 Strikers Adam Rooney 16 David Goodwillie 2

or they could do what they did in the UK after Hungerford (Banned private ownership of semi-automatics and pump action shotguns) and then Dunblane (Banned private ownership of Handguns and restriction on 'casual' ownership of guns and rifles) Dont hand the guns in you get arrested and charged with possession of a dangerous weapon. With regards to casual ownership of guns they go through the gun registers, see who has what and then one night you get a tap on the door from local plod 'sorry to bother you sir but according to the records you own a <insert gun type here>. For what reason(s) do you own this gun?' If at the end of the conversation there is no justifiable reason (IE you are not a farmer, game-keeper, member of certain sections of the military/ police) they take the gun and any ammunition you have away and destroy it. Doesnt matter if you had only just bought it, its gone and there is no compensation. I'm still waiting for the UK government to get their act together and ban private ownership of airguns or at least require them to be licensed. They also need to get their act together and sort out the sale of machetes and other ludicrous knives. There is at least one 'novelty' shop in Glasgow selling some horrific weapons with little or no security or apparent licensing.

Seeing his reactions at the 2000 scottish cup final cemented my dislike for him His stance on NOT giving the ball back to the opposition after they have kicked it out for an injured player should be enough to label him a kazak sugarcube for life

She looks alot better now than she did in the 90s (well i think so anyway)

Couldnt see a thread for this (take it no one is that bothered) however given how shite the day has been football wise it brings a smile to my face to see ENGLAND KNOCKED OUT in the group stages! :wave: :wave: First host nation in RWC history not to reach the knock-out stages. Be nice if Scotland can beat the Samoans and follow the welsh & Irish into the knock outs
