Tyrant

It's a Twitter related remark.

Not a bad shout, Nellie.

But Calderwood would have us playing attacking total football. Strachan would need to spend millions to strengthen the squad in January. In all seriousness I'd be happier with Calderwood than Levein. Levein is not a better manager. And Calderwood would never have played a 4-6-0.

Well that's fucking cheered me right up. What annoyed me was the countless times that I heard either "We're doing really well to be at 0-0 with a side like Belgium" or "We were never going to get anything from this game." Well not with a fucking attitude like that! Aye Belgium are a handy side and better than us but for FFS sake they're not that good. They've got 2 world class players and we've got 3 pretty decent players so a defeat isn't surprising but I feel we treated them with far too much respect. Our mentality is all wrong. And ST is correct in implying it's routed from the very top to the very bottom of the game in this country. Fuck it.

Oh I bet it did! Their logo is quality too.

Great result for NI. It's a shame that Portugal scored.

I think we're barking up the wrong tree with this guy. Someone's being a cunny funt.

This is it. It's the AFC football club way. I hope to fuck I'm wrong.

I ken you didn't want specific hotels but tough shit. http://www.skylinehotelny.com/ I've stayed here before. It was cheap as chips (in 2006 anyway) and it was absolutely fine. Walking distance to Time Sq etc. Nice wee pool too.

Back doon to earth with a bump. 3 goal defeat.

Fucking Ireland can have him. Timmy cunt. I'm with Kow on those questions. I want those answered. It was interesting to hear one of the arguments against independence. "Our oil money will just go to the central belt." Aye? Well right now it goes to Westminster. As for what happens to the Union Jack? It's a good question to be tbh. They should just do away with it and let everyone use their ain flags.

Absolute nonsense. I, for some reason, am the only one who could see the clear clip on Bale. Why that is I don't know. I remain convinced it was the correct decision. I'm nae changing nationality over Luis fucking Suarez.

Sack the board.

Yes. Yes.

The video doesn't work but it wasn't a nudge that sent him down. Maloney knocked Bale's trailing leg into the back of his standing one sending him doon. I've seen it umpteen times and a slose up slo mo replay and I'm convinced it's crystal clear. I'm far more pissed off aboot the goal that we didn't get. That would have won us the game.

Aye. So vote no 'cause if we vote aye it's a massive pain in the arse.

Maloney ran across the back of him and clearly (allbeit accidentally) tripped him up. It's crystal clear to me. He threw himself to the ground Suarez style but it was still a penalty.

For FFS sake! I wish folk would stop whinging about their penalty! It was a stone-waller all day long and why so many folk can't see it is beyond me. What annoyed me more what the blatant dive earlier in the second half which went unpunished and not to mention the perfectly good goal we had chalked off. I also wish folk would quit saying it was for offside because it clearly wasn't. That spastic linesman thought it went out of play when it wasn't even close. Hence he made a bolt straight down the tunnel at the end. Bale was the different between the teams. We couldn't cope with him. He's some player. I thought Adam was brought on to bin him but he was just an embarrassment. Firstly his mindgames fail at Bale's penalty and then Bale owned him and jogged past him before smashing in the winner. For once I don't blame Levein for this one although I still think we should get him to fuck post haste. So now we've effectively got no chance of qualifying/ Do we want a result that would push Levein closer to the exit? A lot of folk reckon he'll get his jotters after the Belgium game but I fear he'll be kept on. He's certainly not going to walk.

What annoyed me about yesterday is that in the 3rd set it looked like Murray had given up? He couldn't have been that knackered as he's done plenty of five setters in the past. He had 5 match points and didn't take any of them. The manner of this defeat has really bothered me.

My other half wants to go somewhere although we're not sure where. Quite a variation of places to fly from Edinburgh right enough. Anyone got any recommendations? I fancy Reykjavik but she doesn't really. Haven't even looked at what's available from Glasgow.

Steven Fletcher starting.
