Aye, but we still wouldn't be dirty Tims.

It does scrape the surface a little! If you'd said that he faked the ear injury, I'd be prepared to believe that. The rest, not so much. The simplest explanations far outweigh the conspiracy. You could be right about Epstein. I don't think it's a huge stretch to suggest he was killed, although I don't think it's a huge stretch to imagine a man with his connections arranging his own suicide, in fear of spending the rest of his days locked up. Not sure which way I'd edge. As for Guiffre, I'm fairly certain she committed suicide. She'd told her story already. I think you're doing her a disservice, honestly. The absolute trauma of being trafficked as a teenager and coerced into being fucked by old men is unimaginable. You don't have to look too far to see the victims of such crimes ending their lives later in life, unable to cope with the constant reminders. I think you're belittling that pain slightly, and robbing her of agency in her final decision by suggesting conspiracy. For example, I suspect that if it had been a 17 year old boy trafficked and fucked, you'd be less inclined to claim conspiracy, and would have some understanding of their desire to end it all. It's difficult to put yourself in the shoes of a teenage - reproductive age, to put it very crudely - girl in what appears (from the photo with Andrew for example) to be a situation where she has some agency. There's always a hint of "she knew what she was doing" in people's minds, a bit like when a kidnap victim appears in public with their abuser and doesn't scream for help. I'm not accusing you of thinking that way, I'm suggesting that subconsciously there's a bit of that in many of us, and you really have to think deeply (for a man, anyway, women would probably think I'm being ridiculous) to grasp the impact that the trafficking would have had on her.

Hmmm... those magic beans are starting to look all the more appetising. They arranged for a martyr to climb the roof of a nearby building and aim to just miss the former president, accepting that they'd be killed in the aftermath? "They", being a group of people that wanted the former president to be re-elected. Seems like a lot of work.

For clarity, the person that was killed behind him wasn't killed? Or wasn't even a person? Or just collateral in the faking?

Good. Don't want any of those cunts soiling our tournament.

It's simplistic, no more so than suggesting we have to take out a midfielder, but it also takes into account the actual goalscorers in our squad. Nisbet is completely nullified without another striker, so we're left with Lazetic being the only viable option. We have already adapted our defence to accommodate our defenders with a back three, it seems strange we wouldn't attempt to do similar further up the park. A 3-5-2 would work, as would a 3-3-2-2 (I claimed in another thread), or a 3-4-1-2. All would provide three midfielders. The 3-3-2-2 would allow Clarkson to sit behind two high pressing midfielders, the 3-4-1-2 would allow Armstrong to play in front of two holding midfielders. The wing backs would probably be slightly more defensive (as required, depending on circumstances) due to the additional striker. The downside would be Karlsson on the bench. He could play behind the strikers of course, or we have him as a high impact sub, maybe moving to a back four to chase games.

Knighting is for cunts. Public holiday should be mandated for all our games.

And why on earth would we want to sign another duplicitous, Judas cunt?

Joe's a great guy. Great father, easy to get along with, good working man, liked by his colleagues, likes teenage girls, cooking and following his favourite football team, although he doesn't get to see them often because they play 200 miles away in Glasgow.

No, I don't believe the problem is with men in general. Men of power, in a system that pathetically elevates men in power, perhaps. Our culture, maybe. Patriarchy, certainly. Not men in general though.

Just your standard wealthy politician rapey stuff though. Nobody in yankland bats an eyelid at that these days.

A few possibilities. The first is that there is an investigation ongoing, and so Bondi will prevent the release of much of the good stuff, or it will be hugely redacted. The second (and the one I think most likely) is that Trump is not hugely involved in things, not in a degree that would concern. Or nothing he has done is documented. I think his dislike for Epstein is genuine, and - like most men - I suspect that there's an age below which he would see a young girl like his daughter (despite his weird obsession with her). He's just your standard rapist, basically. The third is that there is some involvement, and some hint that he has been at it with teenage girls, but he correctly believes that his base will comfortably look the other way. Be prepared for a blitz of "other countries allow teenage girls to have sex", "they weren't pre-pubescent" etc. To some degree, it's fair comment, if you happily ignore the trafficking, the British Prince nonce didn't break any UK laws in terms of age after all. The age gap is obviously the disgusting part, but Trump's voters will comfortably look the other way, accuse the other side and so on, just as they did with his rapeyness. They already know who they're voting for. He'll simply deny the knowledge trafficking, and claim consent, and it's clear that if there is any sort on Trump, it dates back at least thirty years, and will be hard to confirm.

It's no coincidence that the three wonder strikes were aimed to the right hand side of his goal.

So we're in England's group?

Managed by the supreme Hun cunt.

Just think, we're only a few injuries from seeing Nicky Devlin on the big stage

Fuck that, make the Hun stay. Some players played their best ever games for Scotland tonight. Ferguson, McGinn, McKenna, McTominay just brilliant, and Gordon was fantastic too, I really hope he's guaranteed a squad place.

Hopefully Shankland goes on a three day bender.

That was something else. Second best game of 2025. Phenomenal.

Great half, well played. Keeping shape after losing Gannon-Doak was key, and they managed it. McGinn, Ferguson, Robertson and the back two playing well. McTominay just insane.

He's got six months left on his contract. His agent will be ensuring that any interest, perceived or otherwise, will be broadcast as far and wide as possible.

You honestly think that the Yanks aren't all over Donstalk? Fairly certain that there's a couple of CIA lads in the latest AbMad intake.

Someone's not getting through border control if we do qualify.

I do... David Watson. Two others.

And were they?
