Agree with you here. Dundee might be the bigger club to pensioners but it’s been 50 years since they’ve won anything, so realistically you’d have to around 60 to even remember a cup win. They’ve spent most of the last two decades in the Championship/First Division & have a smaller fanbase nowadays than United as well (United have a higher average attendance despite being in a lower tier this season). In my lifetime Dundee United have always been a pretty solid team, winning trophies, reaching cup finals, playing in Europe etc. Perhaps historically Dundee were bigger, but it’s not the case anymore. It’s like arguing Queens Park are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland because they won loads of trophies outwith most people’s living memory.

Making it to the semi finals of a major tournament is something I’d be willing to bet I never see Scotland do. I don’t think I’ll ever witness a player as good as Bale play for Scotland. It’s annoying as a fan of a bigger and more traditional football nation that Wales fans have experienced that. It’s also why a lot of diddy team fans (especially Hibernian) are bitter about St Johnstone Football Club. We’ve been much more successful than nearly every Scottish club of a similar size in recent history and it’s made fans of other clubs very resentful. If we’d been pissing about down in the Championship for the last 15 years then the level of bitterness would be nowhere near the same level. -

It’s sheer seething jealousy about how much more successful they’ve been than Scotland in the past couple of decades. -
On your first point - as Shadow Play says, you should probably look into what was actually done re his estate. If you think rich (socialist) people using loopholes to avoid paying tax isn’t hypocritical then fair enough. Regarding the second, there are plenty far more egalitarian societies than the UK that have scrapped inheritance tax - Norway and Sweden being prime examples - and so it’s not the most ‘bonkers’ idea ever. Those countries, of course, have other (seemingly more effective) ways of taxing wealth. Not that I’m advocating for the UK to scrap inheritance tax obviously.

There’s a difference between paying additional tax voluntarily and taking active steps to avoid tax. It makes you look pretty hypocritical when you’ve railed against inherited privilege, to then not pay what you’re due within the spirit of the law.

Glaswegians are absolutely obsessed with other Scottish people’s accents. Constantly hear them going on about ‘Glasgow Uni’ accents, or ‘Teuchter’ accents. If you don’t have a very working class Glasgow accent then you’re not a true Scottish person to them and you’ll be met with some tired Limmy patter. Especially funny when it comes from some Hutchy-educated guy who grew up in a huge detached house in Pollokshields, yet desperately puts on a thicker accent. On the sectarian point, agreed it’s noticeably different on the east of Scotland v the west. -
