I'm heading down. Get oot the wife's hair as she's got her mates coming roon. I always intend not to go to the Scotland games but end up going. Interested to see how they line up and perform. Should really be an easy win, but I imagine a last minute winner.

Watched Who Took Johnny? doc on Netflix the nicht. Worth a watch like. Pretty horrendous in places, and points to a US version of the Cyril Smith conspiracy type. Also watched Amanda Knox documentary th'ither night. Twas quite good. I wid.

Yes, you are. Although it does get expressed as Simmie (Like), Durrant (dislike). You just click on the preferred options and it adds to the poster's ratings. Not quite the same as the Like function that gives the post a full on spunk like on Mad.

You probably can, just nae under yer own due to the fact that you can't like or dislike yourself unless in masturbating form

In a brilliant piece of parody, he was actually punched by a chap called Mike Hookem. After he asked Mr Hookem to step outside for a scrap..... fuck sake.

Judas cunt left the dons.

No, because the Ghost played nearly every game under Calderwood. HE's more like Alan Tate or some other pish that we normally only sign on loan. Or maybe he's ace, I've nae idea.

Steven Woolfe in hospital after getting chinned by his UKIP mate in Strasbourg. I know we're supposed to hate people from UKIP, but no Member of the European Parliament should go to a meeting of fellow racists and not come home. I propose an applause in the first minute - because it took only one punch - for Mr Woolfe.

I never thought he was that good. Well, he was decent. However, I'm certain he reached his peak at St Johnstone. Worked very hard to get there mind, but I just didn't see any avenues for him to go down to become a better player. Think he'll be back up in Scotland afore long, where he'll be more suited to the game. Didn't have the pace and/or strength for the brutal English lower leagues. Good finisher though, and could do a lot worse. Good luck to the loon.

Fit aboot Patrick Harvie?

Cool, sure it'll be good. At the risk of sounding too critical about a good local event (series of events), the website is too terrible to actually find anything on, so I gave up looking for yer event. I'm pretty anal about website layouts and stuff, but I think it's justified in this instance. Large blocks of info on each event resulting in mass scrolling and next paging is no conducive to easy reading. It should just be in simple list format, or timetable format so that you can quickly scroll through and click on the event or comedian's name for more info (colour coded for genre). Maybe even additional single map format to show the venues with list of events alongside each. Not being able to search by comedian is an annoyance too. Anyway, I'll just avoid the website and check out a few of the venues inatween the dates. Cheers for posting the info in the first place!

Graham Shinnie?

Aye, it was the other one, and the unfair advantage to the Glasgow team nonsense. It's not that, it's just an inappropriate kick off time, with too few travel options at an atrocious stadium. We should be calling out Hampden for what it is on a regular basis. It's a fucking awful ground in a fucking awful location that should never have been built.

Yep, disgraceful decision, Easter road was the only place for this game. It'll work nicely in weegie favour in the final (assuming we get there) when they can use the poor semi attendance to give us a non 50-50 allocation. The club statement was half airsed, and whilst I don't agree with all of the MSP's comments, it's good to see him getting involved. That "the SPFL declined to comment" is disgusting. They're not answerable to anyone outside the glasgow 2 it seems.

Might try and head along to some of these. Where are you playing (feel free not to answer if it gives away your identity)? Been to a couple of breakneck events before at the lamp. Usually a mixed bag, which is good.

Think we need to shake things up a little in this one. I'd take Burns in for McGinn and Storie in for MacLean. Maddison's a youngster who probably doesn't need to be playing every week, so I'd rest him and give Pawlett another go on a surface that suits his pace. Like to see an early appearance for Storey too if possible, as I think this surface is more suited to quick players than the more direct option of Stockley. A lot of players to keep happy and important to give guys like Storie an opportunity as regularly as possible so that he can fill in when the inevitable injuries occur.

I don't think he's very good at actual football. Which is a problem. Quick and strong though.

Buchanans Bistro is fucking magic like, my favourite restaurant in the shire. I'm not a big meat eater these days, so I'm always on the look out for decent veg options, especially for lunch. Whilst I go to many places that do good food really well, there's very few that I go to that the combination of ingredients are that which I just wouldn't think to use together at home. Simple food too, and not a pretentious place. Some of the beer is worth a drink too, I always purchase a selection to take home. Along with some packets maftoul, which the wife likes. It's ace. Went to Rishi's afore the Saints game. Very good, and excellent value.

Yep, unsurprising. It'll be headline news tomorrow with a side note to the huns getting pished on by Maddison. What a free-kick. One inch to the right and the keeper would have got a hand on it. Up until that point, Maddison had done fuck all, like Pawlett in the first. Mainly down to the tactics and the good movement in their midfield to be honest. Pawlett played really high up alongside Rooney in the first, leaving a big gap to McLean and Shinnie who were all over the place. That meant Hayes and McGinn spending most of the half as extra wing backs. Maddison replaced him, and I thought he'd play just in front of the two, but as soon as we scored he was moved out left for long spells. That left McLean and Shinnie exposed for the rest of the game, and they just let the huns come at us and were generally bypassed in attack too. Got to get Storie in for next week's game, he needs to be ready for games like today's where natural position was more important than perceived ability. We can't rely on Jack being fit all season and playing Shinnie in midfield. Anyway, fuck the huns, we deserved it for not being utter hun cunts.

Here's hoping. Just downed my jasmine tea, and heading out the door. Fuckin wild.

Fuck that shit, I'm going for the reckless, unthinking and ridiculous approach. Checking the odds on various sites I noticed I still had £100 sitting in my paddy power account, so I chucked it all on us to win by more than 2 goals at (shite) odds of 16-1. The cunts better not let me down with a drab 2-0 victory.

Cagey as fuck, but we got there in the end. Sporadic bits of decent play, without any end product and then another cross from a weak foot and a lovely header that epitomises Rooney as a player. Class. No real stand outs, Shinnie, Madison and Burns in spells. Pawlett brought something extra when he came on too. Great save from Lewis from the freekick, with Taylor's follow up clearance seeming to take about 45 minutes to execute. Had to laugh when Taylor kicked the ball sideways off the roof of the mainer in the first half, it was hilarious.

I am in a job I want to retire from (I've got 30 years to go though). Or certainly, I can't imagine being in it for the rest of my career and beyond. I'm good at it and thought I enjoyed it more than I actually do. It is my own company however, and I have commitments to others, which means I can't just up-sticks without consideration. I've also set my lifestyle at an unnecessary expensive level, which I'd need to take care of too - which would have a direct impact on my better half. I don't spend a lot now and I don't have a huge mortgage and I own all my cars and have no credit cards and such like - I'm in a good place (and I get a 3 day weekend). To be honest, there's no one thing I want to do either. I design software, which I'm good at and can sell, but I don't enjoy it enough for full time and I also enjoy furniture making and guitar playing, but I'm probably not good enough (or I'd have to sell out) at either to make a good living. Furthermore, my wife is in a job she doesn't like, so we'd have to both give up and both do something new in order to keep us both happy, which is harder for her than it is me. That said, there are people in far worse positions, and I could cope for another 5 or so years no bother by which time our mortgage wid be near paid off, so I'm not complaining. I think the worst thing about my job, and most office jobs, is that they have no tangible benefit. There'll be thousands, if not millions, of folk who's jobs don't benefit society and are essentially just a waste of resources. Most folk aren't aware of it though. I choose just to not let it bother me, mainly because I've made a conscious choice to remain in what I'm doing.

Exactly. I'm nae an al cunt like you Rocket, but even I remember hating the huns long before Durrant poofed out of a challenge and got hurt. Once again, it's the fact that a journalist sat and listened to this pish without questioning it and then threw it up on the public broadcaster's website as fact.

Ned for a ned. The problem of a fan run club.
