In all honesty I like Richard Thompson and Fairport Convention but want his beardy poury silvery face to bugger off from the musical chinese whispers thread. Think I have upheld the traditions of the thread with this embuggerance.

Have a Charles, purely for the use of the word 'embuggerance'.

When Englishmen ask "the Scottish Championship, is that the top league?"

Now, to be clear, this isn't a gripe aimed directly at them, but more towards the officials up here that stupidly thought that copying their system would make a difference. It clearly hasn't. Arseholes.

It's inevitable that one day we'll see the SPFL throw a six-figure sum on an advertising agency to recommend a brand relaunch as "Division One", "Division Two", etc.

A revolutionary retro return to Scotland's roots, etc. Trebles all round.

We should preempt this by offering to do it for £50k

Stupidest thing Cockwomble came up with, and that's something. Having to preface football chat with "English" or "Scottish" is a pain in the arse, and what about clear branding?

Or on Sky Sports Super Saturday - “Raith have taken the lead against Airdrie in the Scottish First Division”. <_<

The English media's insistence on calling Rochdale's draw with Tottenham today "a famous cup shock". It isn't. A cup shock - never mind a famous one - actually involves the bigger team getting knocked out of the competition: Celtic by Inverness; Rangers (defunct) by Berwick; Dundee (no Scottish Cup win since 1910) by Fraserburgh. Tottenham getting another chance in a replay that they will almost certainly canter to victory in is not a cup shock and it is not 'famous'  as no-one but Rochdale's sad and pointless band of supporters will even recall this match in five years' time. The Scottish Cup didn't have too many shocks this season, but at least the media didn't resort to this level of fuckwittery in a bid to make the competition seem more exciting.
