Can't quite decide what to make of This Is England 86. It was okay, but pretty slow stuff over four episodes. Another violent scene in tonight's final episode. I think they should have just perhaps left it at the film though! But at least we got a reminder of the Hand of God!

Two nights at the Barras would have been better.

After some considered reflection, I've decided that the Freebass and Charlatans albums aren't particularly good IMHO. Both have done the opposite of grow on me.

I don't know why, but this scene immediately sprung to mind:

First time I've seen them after not renewing my season ticket for the first time in 10 years. I thought we collapsed big style in the second half, and our defence was all over the place. I'm going to the ICT game though, as I happen to be in Inverness that weeked.

In/Oot: In Prematch: Parents' hoose Match: Main stand Post Match: Parents' hoose Prediction: 0-0

If McGhee is still dishing out community service for red cards, then Diamond should be doing Maguire's!

As far as I could tell it was a back 4 of Ifil, Diamond, Whatshisface and Considine.

I think McArdle was right mid.

Diamond and Ifil have been utterly terrible today. Whole defence looks like a shambles. Playing Ifil at right back is clearly not working.

2-1. Stonewall penalty to the Huns.

1-0! Great finish from Vernon!

Pretty sparse crowd by for a game against one of the Infirm.

Liverpool 1 Sunderland 2 Arsenal 0 West Brom 2

That's a cracking finish. Reminds me of Mackie v Hearts a couple of seasons ago...

Surely being overweight and past it shouldn't stop Jeffries from rating Skacel?

I thought Dobbies was a garden centre?

Great choice of song Yeah its gonna be pretty interesting, especially the second half of the album - hardly any of which has ever been played live. I suspect they might play the original version of Come Together.

Agree with all the above apart from the bit highlighted in bold.

Agreed, shame it's not the Barras. People turning up at Scream gigs wanting to hear Rocks and Country Girl should be shot. At least they won't be getting played at the Screamadelica gigs.

Tour in March, including SECC. http://www.list.co.uk/article/29450-chain-reaction-bobby-gillespie/

Having made the mistake of reading this thread the night before I got a chance to watch this week's This is England 86, I was expecting a fairly tough going rape scene but I didn't think it was that bad (nowhere near anything out of Death Wish!) but I admittedly I was already aware of what was going to happen. I agree, I suppose there was the shock factor because I think it's been dull up to that point. Just hope it picks up now that Combo is back. And that "punch up" in the park was one of the worst rammys I've ever seen. It was like a playgroup school fight. WTF is so good about Gadget? I think he's a fud. IMHO The Office is the greatest sitcom of the last 20 years. And Extras was superb too. His stand up is shite though. I like Karl Pilkington, I thought the podcasts were very good. The combination of Merchants wit, Pilkington's inane ramblings, and Gervais's infectious laugh made for a great show. I'm looking forward to An Idiot Abroad tonight.

Is that the athletes village for the Commonwealth Games?
