  1. That was my first time on the radio and I was very nervous.
  2. Turn their nose up at any vegetarian or vegan dish.
  3. Did I just dream this or did some wee Falkirk fan not interview David Beckham on kids TV years ago (SMTV?) and asked him if he'd ever sign for the club?
  4. I think the Shaw as a 10 experiment should come to an end now. It worked in the beginning but I think teams have clocked now that there's a bit of the Gregory Tade about Shaw - instinctively he's good but as soon as he has to think he's at a disadvantage. I do wish someone who would coach him to really drive with the ball. When he actually has the ball, defenders find it hard to get it off him, but too often he gets into a dangerous area and then puts his foot on it and turns backwards.
  5. I’ve stayed near RAI before. It’s quite a businessy area from what I saw but it was fine. The metro is about 15 mins while the tram was more like half an hour. The RAI station also has direct trains to Centraal and Schipol as well as some routes to other towns.
  6. My team - Ridgers Duffy Devine Deas Delaney Welsh Allardice Harper Henderson Mckay Shaw Bench - C.Mackay, D. Mackay, Samuels, Woods, Boyd, Hyde, Nicolson
  7. You’d think they’d want to be somewhere where the atmosphere they want to generate would encourage everyone else and reverberate around the stands but they and the club seem hell-bent on not doing that.
  8. I was referring to Rossvale who aren’t changing their name to Caledonian Thistle now.
  9. If you miss this you'd better be dead or in jail. And if you're in jail - break out!
  10. People who refer to certain disabilities as 'superpowers'.
  11. And the biggest polluters per head in the world is... Australia.
  12. Depends which island. Lewis is pretty staunch.
  13. Especially given most Gaelic speakers are Rangers fans I'd imagine...
  14. People who throw absolutely everything and anything into the recycle bin. I found a few weeks ago that someone had thrown some uneaten pizza into mine. What did they think that was going to be recycled into? Lightsbulbs?
  15. I noticed Gary Lineker still has a blue tick. I mentioned the other week that he'd lost his as his account was 'under review' (probably from being mass-reported by trolls and alt-righters). The blue tick came back not long after and it seems like he must've bought it instead of it getting re-assigned. Poor show.
  16. People who use a completely nonsense threshold to justify unimaginative managerial choices. "He has links with the club." "He knows our league." "He knows Scottish football inside and out!" It's almost always used by bland supporters and those already in the Scottish football clique to defend one of their own getting another job at some jobber club. It also explains why they go berserk when a club has the audacity to go for a more out-of-the-box candidate instead of one of their them.
  17. Real I-enjoy-something-so-look-for-reasons-to-justify-it-rather-than-look-at-myself vibes from this thread lately...
  18. Bob Dylan and his brother bought a place outside Aviemore. It's a wedding venue. I'm not sure if the plan was for either of them to ever live in it properly but I think I've heard that Bob Dylan has only turned up once and it's more his brother's venture. Apparently the staff don't like constantly being asked about the Zimmermans!
  19. Robert Kennedy Jr launched his campaign for president today. I see Dennis Kusinich spoke at the event. Some of you may remember him from his presidential campaigns in 2004 and 2008 where at the outset of both he was a relative outsider but picked up a lot of traction from anti-war types - basically the crowd that later swelled behind Bernie Sanders. He seems to have become another one who’s fallen down the Covid and Russia rabbit hole.
  20. These animals should be thankful they have an awful life rather than no life at all.
