I dont know why you put weak in the quote marks, the man is weaker than the spirits in an all inclusive hotel.

Given the mental health crisis in this country and the way isolation emboldened it during lock down (and the fact we’ve not recovered) anything which gets people engaging, whether through participating, volunteering and spectating is removing isolation for even a short time. Consider clubs at our level are for the most part in areas of deprivation then its an even more important case. We fund the arts for spectating, festivals, art shows, music etc and i think considering the needs of sports consumers/spectators is equally important. Its part of our heritage, ingrained in our culture and vital for our communities.

Some of the money they are spunking away is far worse used than improving community sporting venues. You only have to look at the success of clubs with good all weather parks ability to become a community asset to see how any penny spent on sports facilities to improve participation and integration is money well spent.

Being outwitted by the most dimwitted first minister is quite the epitaph for the greens.

Feel like there should be an election now, a first minister who wasnt leader when the last election was called, a failing administration and too many scandals that public confidence cant be a given.

Im hoping the guy doesnt get in, i think the basis for the argument is pretty fair, but can we stop ripping the arse out of it?

She’s set her stall out as a staunch supporter of the genocide in Gaza anyway to its actually no real surprise that she has come out the way she has. A truly despicable person.

Arthurlie is a great place to watch football. The match experience is superb, the welcome is fantastic and you feel that as a customer your visit is genuinely valued. Your disabled spectator facilities are great, youve done that whilst your long term goals are to move away and seek licensing, so essentially for no higher purpose other than to make it a better experience for supporters, honestly its great and as someone who attends football with a disabled person regularly its incredibly appreciated the effort youve gone to. Its actually even more than that, its the personable way your volunteers greet disabled fans and for that honestly i’d happily visit Arthurlie for a game even if it wasnt involving my team (maybe in one of our many weeks off). Hope you guys have a great time at the junior cup final and please ignore the snidey digs from lesser teams who could learn alot about what being a community asset really means.

Saw a few marches this weekend in Rome, none of them seemed to involved irish historical battles from hundreds of years ago as a symbol of white protestant ethnoexceptionalism, which was refreshing.

Happens at every protest. Wording from the guy was taken completely out of context, there was another video doing the rounds posted by a guy @zubairb02 where the guy in question is seen storming up the street with a security team. There are things which could be used like sec 12 public order act quite effectively here but the sergeant involved has tried to avoid using that, got himself into some kind of protracted discussion and its been heavily edited to cause outrage. The PM should apologise for his disgraceful comments, but its not surprising the political classes jumping in feet first without a grasp of basic fact, all the major parties politicians are guilty of this, they do it because its a cheap easy win and when the facts come out there is never an apology to the officers involved.

Take it they dont do this in Milano?

I think its looked upon with general bemusement.

I know a fair few really decent old firm fans, working in my job i find it funny when im at football or otherwise and their being screamed at by people who support the same team (im talking guys i know who have season tickets etc) being accused of being the other side etc because it feeds into the conspiracy stuff that poisons both supports.

Happens in Marmaris as well. Its despicable. Have honestly taken the time to look at the types of bars around potential holiday spots now and if theres anything old firmy in the area its a swift avoid. Spent a week in a resort in Turkey geared more towards the dutch and germans and honestly it was great, not a single drunken arsehole the whole week. Its no wonder the locals in Majorca and Canary isles are campaigning against british tourists the way some folk behave.

Im not a big fan of gratuitous violence, but from what I know about the turkish justice system, i hope the celtic fan is, because hes going to be getting a lot of it. Hes going to do serious time for that if the turks decide to prosecute. Also to the best of my knowledge they dont have a bail system in Turkey. They also arent particular fans of terrorist groups either. In short, if they run with that case (instead of papping him on a plane) then that guys fucked.
