Excellent analogy and totally correct. The sheeple voted in Blowjob and Trump. God *sic throws in a pandemic curveball and some white police shit and the fan gets hit. A crisis always reveals character. Given the continuous and worsening meltdowns by both governments - the current absurdities of Trump in Tulsa and Handcock lying about Apple - humanity has never had a better opportunity to see truth and to act on it.

I seen that documentary. Crazy shit. Nutters with elements of charisma attract no-hopers. People have to believe in something. The vast majority just make bad choices, religion sweeping up most of the most.

The crowd feed was shite. VAR was shite. The game was utter toilet. Sideshow Bob Luiz in the next game was staggeringly bad. He's jinxed that cunt. Borussia Dortmund were shite. And Leipzig's home failures since lockdown are weirdly shite. Daniel Rashford was great this week though, as that Handcock cunt called him, the shitebag with the queen's image in his hoose. Fucking weirdo.

Been to the Cats stadium at Geelong and the MCG many times, for three different sports. Loved AFL. Once I did fall in love with it, went every week. The crowd wasn't a big deal though. No singing as such. Just got pissed up drinking beers.

Probably because he never did. Anyone describing Buchan as a "fucking duffer" is likely to be wrong about much.

Speaking of LB's, watching the Scotland Germany game from 1992 just now, and realising that it's the first time I've seen it. We were in Melbourne at the time and it may have been on at 3 or 4 a.m. or something. Malpas was an excellent footballer but on 28th June 1991, two days before we emigrated I was imploring Davie Robertson not to sign for Rangers, as the rumours that week had it. Shit, Deutschland just scored. After half an hour or so of fruitless pleading, I was resigned that it was happening and I specifically said that the move should cement his Scotland place and that he would displace Malpas. Was out of the country for three years so never seen much fitba over that period but Malpas still looking good in this game so far.

McMaster was excellent when deployed at LB, his biggest strength being his vision and distribution. Rougvie was a beast of strength and never let a dago by but neither of them two had the all round games to be consistently excellent so some distance behind Jim and Davie. Still say Robertson the best. The 90/91 season he was amazing.

I can't imagine anyone complimenting Miller better than McLeish but I can't leave Buchan out. McKimmie was a tremendous footballer too and not much between them. Kennedy stood out cos of his pace but the later Stewart was class in everything. Hermiston one of my first heroes but Robertson was incredibly reliable and strong.

That was funny. Willie Miller, captain. Martin Buchan Joe Harper Can't decide on a 4th but special mentions to Davie Robertson (best LB ever at AFC), Jim Bett, Charlie Nicholas, Hans Gilhaus, Eric Black, Steve Archibald and dozens of others including Simmie. Can't decide between Kennedy and McKimmie for RB. No place for Peter Hetherston nor Calvin Zola. Edit; decided now. Davie Robb my 4th pick.

Facts: 7 day Rolling average of deaths (official figures, not the real numbers) over the last month: - 6th 568 7th 549 8th 533 9th 494 10th 487 11th 476 12th 466 13th 444 14th 428 15th 394 16th 411 17th 397 18th 390 19th 378 20th 360 21st 347 22nd 342 23rd 316 24th 308 25th 303 26th 244 27th 251 28th 256 29th 253 30th 243 31st 242 1st 304 2nd 332 3rd 324 4th 295 5th 300 The average daily number of deaths in June are 354.4 (556 on the 1st). For the last week of May, it was 242.3. For the last 2 weeks of May it was 287.4. THAT, without doubt, is a spike. It WAS reducing. It's going up again. And given the protests and the easing of lockdown, it can only be a spike in deaths that WILL be sustained... in the UK. Only ONE new confirmed case of new infection in Grampian today. Edit: Have a graph. Easier to see...

Eoin and Hans probably my picks for the last 30 years. But Charlie Nick the most naturally-gifted striker of all.

Joe and Eric.

Hearts getting relegated, the third biggest-supported club is bad for Scottish football. I severely doubt that they would've been relegated anyway if the SPFL hadn't made the insane decision to terminate early, unlike UEFA and the EPL. League reconstruction was always on the cards. Change is required. It's not working. It will work even less if Hearts aren't contributing to the top flight. Once the new set-up is agreed, relegation and promotion will be agreed and that's that. This happened once before of course, when AFC were frighteningly close to the bone. Scepticism is good. Bribery is not. Philanthropy is great. In the real world, there is always give and take. I see nothing but positives from that article and I'm the king of cynics. Only a Scotsman can focus primarily on the negatives, in keeping with his true nature. I say this as a Scotsman living in NE Scotland, born in NE Scotland from ancestors going back at least 1,000 years who were also from the North East. We can moan not just for Scotland, but for the whole world and yet we can't see how this attitude holds the majority of us back. It is perhaps why some of our poppies grow the tallest.

Highlighting a "conflict of interest" is so Scottish. Not bad, two negatives to express a positive. The barriers to understanding philanthropy include mistakenly thinking that they don't have anything to give themselves, a failure of empathy and compassion and an extremely limited imagination. It's ignorant to label the man a saviour. Donating because he can is wonderful. It's how the money is spent that matters.

That's not a problem. It's good to disagree. It would be boring if we all thought the same.

I only said two things. I said he would be an obvious improvement on the squad. I also said that you don't have any ambition to win the league. If you agree and disagree, what specifically did we disagree on?

If you take back Hayes, you might as well admit that winning the league is not the goal. Tragically, him at his age is probably a big improvement on the squad.

Good interviewee. Terrible interviewer. We are aware of this view from a small number of educated black men (and it's always men, never women) towards their "brothers". Chris Rock alludes to it often, the distinction between black people and "niggas" and in relation to childcare - "it's what you're supposed to do". I don't see the correlation between speaking the truth about a lack of social conscious and a divestment of personal responsibility in some/many people (of whatever colour) and the central debate regarding systemic, institutionalised racism. The interviewee is convinced that it doesn't exist, an opinion possibly formed in the most part from his personal experience in that he was smart, worked hard and provides well for his family and has white faces amongst his friends and colleagues. His view is supported by the facts that black people have held (and still do) high positions of office, including POTUS last time. But this doesn't negate the fact that white supremacy movements exist in the country today and that people with the same sentiments and attitudes have been allowed to kill black people and get away with it. The KKK openly did it without fear of consequence. MLK lost his life because he represented a danger to the established order of things. JFK was also seen as a threat and dispensed with by the white elite. I've no doubt that the BLM movement may well have been jumped on by lazy-assed people looking for excuses for whatever ails them in their pathetic lives but the original grievance of the movement exists just as much today as it ever did.

Lot of hate for the killing of George Floyd. America's burning. This is the culmination of years of bigotry, racism and injustice. Only way out of this is tearing down the system. But white America doesn't want the system that protects them being torn down. Which leads to an impasse of irreconcilable interests. If white America was to believe that justice and the rule of law was its own foundation, then it would have to uphold it for the first time in its history. Only then would the "American dream" not be empty rhetoric. Too many unjust killings for too long. #BlackLivesMatter too.

42 clubs for a country our size would be too many at the top of the game but given that there are thousands of clubs all over the UK, it's not a problem to have this many in the bigger spotlight. England have 92 clubs in four divisions as their recognised top flights so 28 teams in our top two divisions seems like a logical extension, with a third division providing promotion and relegation to and from both division 2 and below that e.g. Edinburgh City and Cove Aberdeen and before that ICT and Ross County. Given that we only have 22 full-time professional clubs, the second division would have roughly half full time and half part time but it's up to them how ambitious they are to progress and they have to be good enough to stay in that division and not slide into obscurity. The bigger issue is the development and management of our game in Scotland. It's not been working for a very long time and change is well overdue.

100% of what Strachan said there was true. Respect. Here's another true statement. Strachan was an infuriating footballer and employee. Ferguson found this. And he was right. Wee Gordon was one of many who had problems with SAF. And there's no smoke without fire. SAF was right then and the bitter ging er is right now. Swings. Roundabouts. Stop and go.

I have facts about how the NHS get exploited by big pharma. Or should I say, two of my family do. That is a disgrace of itself but the bigger tragedy is how the mainstream media aren't interested and how doctors and consultants can't speak out for fear of the inevitable consequences of doing so. GSK are an evil organisation.

Yeah he did. The double standard is that others have had to resign for less, less because they weren't symptomatic and therefore a much reduced risk of spreading by travelling. I don't think any of them should lose their jobs personally but in his case, he made the rules that he broke and if the courts have fined people for breaking rules, he needs to be fined too. But he's right, there are exceptions to rules and extreme circumstances so everybody getting their knickers in a twist need to calm down. He's a wank and he'll get his one day soon.

Apparently he is. This is great karma in action. He was despised before he broke the rules and it was always going to be the case that he would get his comeuppance. Much as he thought he was special and that he could walk on water, it's not so much that he's making the same mistake as so many others have previously but the fact that his advocates are so rotten to the core that he's been allowed to run unchecked for so long. He's a one-trick pony and his sloganeering trick has evaporated. Underestimate the intelligence of the British public at your peril. They're stupid as fuck for sure but they're not that stupid. #CumGate will result in his expulsion and whilst it should be immediately, I suspect that BlowJob's hand will be forced later in the week, yet another U-turn in a period of so many of them.
