Kelvin Mackenzie will always be known as a pig for the headline he put out in the Sun. Arrogant shit of a man and coincidentally a bully when in power. How human.

Duckenfield was new in the job but a bully who was despised from the off. I'm amazed that nobody blew the whistle on his lies and the systemic cover up at some point in the next two and a half decades. Cops would rather stick up for one of their own rather than let truth and justice prevail, even if they hated him. Pigs.

An additional 1,000 on the home gate for a season = half a million. The latent support is there. There is a reason why the missing thousands don't come and after decades of not giving a fuck about "the football side of the business" - what other side is there Stewrat? - I'm not surprised. The real tragedy is the relationship between the board and the fans. They alienated the missing thousands with so many contributory reasons for so many years that only a fucking idiot couldn't see what was going on.

I'm not really into seeing us lose for the sake of a competitive league. I also don't buy the line that money guarantees success. I think Leicester have proved this year that a well-motivated bunch of professionals doing the right things under the right management can compete and beat the big budget colossuses. Of course money buys success in football but that doesn't mean we can't TRY to compete *, especially in Scotland where ra Sellic have been an obviously-shite football team. What fucks me off is that we didn't even try to show an ounce of ambition and with a massive debt written off and a very real opportunity this year, we didn't even speculate to accumulate by not doing the maths. We could have recouped even a 250k additional outlay with an extra 10,000 paying punters which spread over 20 home games is +500 per game. We have THOUSANDS who will return when the product is good enough and the opportunity to compete is there. They don't believe the board gives a fuck so why should they prop them up, maintaining the status quo which has been bollocks for over 20 years now. Even in this season, the best we've had this century, we have had to endure an obviously talented footballer not give a fuck often enough, totally incompetent footballers also not being benched enough due to a manager who doesn't have the balls to kick cunt, a fucking hopeless goalkeeper since Ward got recalled who was always a liability waiting to happen, our best player being moved from his best position for reasons unclear and tactics, formations and a (lack of) substitutions that all made no sense to even a schoolboy. Not to mention an alarming slump of what was it - 1 point out of a possible 18 - again for reasons nae cunt knows about but which cost us in the end and proves that this squad of players under this manager just isn't very good. We have only six decent footballers at the club. The fact that we are paying the wages of others, squad fillers at best - whether incompetent in ability or deficient in desire/application - is a total embarrassment to the club and should have been an anathema to our manager and his staff. * Before the pedants get uppity and for clarification, obviously the big clubs with the big wages win MOST of the time but as we've seen before in Spain, in England this year, in Germany, in Holland and even ourselves in the 80's - which we are not allowed to mention because it's politically incorrect to do so and proves that we're all so thick we are stuck in the past - there are always going to be exceptions. To break the mould however, you need to recruit the right manager who can recruit the right players. This cunt bought Calvin Zola for fuck sake and whilst he's done well getting Shinnie and MacLean etc., he continuously fails to get the most out of the majority for most of the time and this overall squad isn't near good enough. AFC aren't even TRYING to win the league cos that's not their ambition. The last time I attended an AGM, finishing 7th was the financial target, around which the budgets were supposed to balance. It's a fucking joke, this board and they're slowly killing the club. 43,000 at the Red Parkhead proves that we have got the latent potential to average 15 to 16,000 if it was exciting. We're not even thinking like this.

The Hollow Crown starts on BBC4 at 11. First of four and critically highly acclaimed. The channel it appears on is the clue for most morons not to bother.

Winners perform when it matters. When it mattered tonight, Spurs imploded. West Brom well worth their draw.

So you're saying that it's our football manager who's failing? I wouldn't disagree. If we can't agree as an organisation on our ambitions, we're guaranteed not to get there. For clarity, my ambition is to be the best we can be given the resources and potential resources available. Not once in Milne's stewratship have we ever been close to fulfilling our potential. In my opinion.

This assumes we have given the "football side of the business" a budget commensurate with our ambition. This assumes the ambition of the fans, players, management and chairman is one and the same. Which it isn't. If it were, we wouldn't have so many non-productives on the payroll. If it were, we wouldn't have racked up over EIGHT figures worth of debt. If it were, we wouldn't have pissed good money down the drain. If it were, we wouldn't have tolerated Calderwood and Langfield for so long. If it were, we would've won the league this year, our only real chance, now gone. It's been over 30 years since the last league win. Don't expect a sniff in the next few years. Because that's not even in the plan.

Alli and Kane are awesome talents and impossible not to enjoy. The stupidity of the FA and their appointed muppet Hodgson means that he won't start the two of them this summer and will insist on taking Rooney in the squad. The flogging of the dying horse scene in Catch 22 comes to mind.

I understand distaste for gooners. I loved the old Highbury. My first game there was Arsenal v. Spurs 1-1 in the early 70's. But the Emirates is cold, dehumanised and sanitised. The perfect environment for the arse who is Arsene, quite frankly. But Spurs, no, I detest them. It would be a disaster if they won the EPL in my lifetime.

None of us up here are wanting anything other than the fairytale Leicester to be champions. You must have a soft spot for the Spurs, I think. Or maybe you're an evil Jew, or you work for the bastards in the corrupt financial services sector?

My first thought was a staff member, if indeed the foul play suspected is proved.

Can't believe I omitted the opening words to Cream. How's this for class: - This is it It's time for u to go to the wire U will hit Cuz u got the burnin' desire It's your time (Time) U got the horn so why don't u blow it U are fine (Fine) U're filthy cute and baby u know it The mark of a genius musician is you read his lyrics and you hear his voice.

Obama warns that it might take a decade to negotiate a trade deal. He says the UK couldn't negotiate faster than the EU could. Listen up fuckhead. Business runs faster than politics. We don't need you. Some of us are getting paid from US businesses, individuals and institutions. When our products and services are good enough, you buy, wherever you are in the world. We don't need red tape. What a shocking tactic by Cameron to wheel him in. Now that Killary Clinton has waded in on the same establishment side, it would take a fucking imbecile not to smell the rat. People who live in Edinburgh, and the 55% who voted No is proof enough how imbecilic we are in Scotland. I just hope the English don't fuck this one up too. Salmond and Sturgeon have made a grave error here. You cunts are too thick to know what day of the week it is.

Christ min, chill out, was only having a laff mate Pretty obvious on both our parts. Exercise more flexible interpretation next time.

It's a lot easier to predict a points total after 34 games played. Hollow victory. You fucked up anyway. Won't get as many as 74.

Tom W hot favourite to be closest here. Tyrant no chance of 2 wins and 2 draws and Nellie can take a hike too.

I agree it would be interesting... for residents of said places and supporters thereof. Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck.

Some old footage of Cliff Richard on BBC4 just now. The similarity with Cristiano Ronaldo is remarkable. The gay G-nome has yet to be determined. These two fruits are screaming with it. Doesn't make them bad people. Just fruity. Highly and exceptionally talented in their fields.

I blame the fans. Excluding the missing thousands, who know the score. Those arseholes who think McGinn will come good "if we give him backing". Those stupid cunts who don't understand the importance of a competent goalkeeper. Those tragic bastards who have nae idea aboot onythin, probably because they're as good as English. To succeed as a team, there has to be unity. Of purpose. Of mission. People outwith the necessary psyche are unwelcome. Guffy No anti-Brexit cunts. This used to be Aberdeen.

I got asked a couple of times this afternoon if I was going down. I said no, couldn't be fucked, no point. Then in the pub at tea time I got asked if I was watching the game. I said no, couldn't be fucked, no point. And yet some fucking spastics thought this club, this chairman, this manager, this squad were good enough to win the SPFL? Against the shittest Sellick squad and manager in living memory? Fucking arseholes.

Unbelievable example of his technical genius: - He could play almost every musical instrument. As he demonstrated here, he was an incredibly gifted guitarist.

Another fine example, some of the lyrics from another genius tune: - U're so good Baby there ain't nobody better (Ain't nobody better) So u should Never, ever go by the letter (Never ever) U're so cool (Cool) Everything u do is success Make the rules (Rules) Then break them all cuz u are the best Yes u are Cream Get on top Cream U will cop Cream Don't u stop Cream Sh-boogie bop Look up in the air, it's your guitar Do your dance Why should u wait any longer? Take a chance It could only make u stronger It's your time (It's your time) U got the horn so why don't u blow it (Go on and blow it) U're so fine (U're so fine) U're filthy cute and baby u know it (U know it) RIP Prince

His genius wasn't just fantastic tunes in his own inimitable style, his lyrics were pretty fantastic. Example: - "Sign O' The Times" Oh yeah In France a skinny man Died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle And soon she did the same At home there are seventeen-year-old boys And their idea of fun Is being in a gang called The Disciples High on crack, totin' a machine gun Time, time Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church And killed everyone inside U turn on the telly and every other story Is tellin' U somebody died Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it And we're sending people 2 the moon In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time Now he's doing horse, it's June Times, times It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy Unless a man truly dies Oh why Time, time Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly Neighbors just shine it on But if a night falls and a bomb falls Will anybody see the dawn Time, times It's silly, no? When a rocket blows And everybody still wants 2 fly Some say a man ain't happy, truly Until a man truly dies Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times Time, time Sign O the Times mess with your mind Hurry before it's 2 late Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy Time, time Time, time This was from one of my favourite albums of all time. This title track, plus Cream, my favourite Prince singles.
