Imagine calling yourself Scottish and not wanting to control your own country. Imagine letting your neighbours make all the decisions. Unbelievable shitebaggery5 points

I am sure Regan and the SFA were thorough and totally professional in their selection process. After all they had the benefit of having Malky's da close at hand. As a director of The National Stadium PLC https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC158083/officers (also director of Queen's Park FC) and a 'good football man. if there were any questions about Malky needing answered I am sure he would have been more than willing to help out. We can all understand that if you are having to make important decisions about the future of Scottish football, the first port of call must always be a 'good football man'. I hope this puts to bed your question about Malky being the 'outstanding candidate'?4 points

I found an envelope earlier containing a scarf I'd forgotten to post to @Sebu I still wonder if the Corsican cops are chasing a truck driver serial killer that leaves his victims bound with the scarves of assorted shite Scottish football teams.4 points

[skidmarks bosses office. Knock on the door, enter Skidmarks, stage right ] "Morning boss, thanks for seeing me" "morning Mr Skidmarks, what can I do for you?" "Well it's about that email business from a few weeks back" "Haha, oh yes, what a rum tale" "Haha yes sir rum indeed. The thing is..." "Yes Bobby?" "I'd like to get the IT department to trace the email back to an IP address so we can work out who sent it" "Oh. That would involve a lot of work for our IT guys and isn't guaranteed to actually reveal who sent the email. It's very simple to create an anonymous email account and to hide an IP address. Also, we had a good laugh about this when we spoke about it before and agreed to forget about it. Why the sudden change?" "Well sir, it's 8Mile" "8Mile? Isn't he the one who tried to organise a dotting campaign? The one who has the intellect of a shaved colobus monkey? The one who gouged faeces from the recesses of his own rectum, threw it at his 'friend' and the boasted about it on the internet so that strangers would be his online friends? Him? That one, Skidmarks?" "Yes, sir, that one " "Well what does he want" "He thinks it would be a great idea to trace the email." "Oh well if if a slabbering grassing seething headcase thinks it's a great idea I'll get right on it Skidmarks!" "Would you sir ? That'd be great." "Skidmarks." "Yes sir?" "f**k off"4 points

What you do is order your own drink first, then drink it while the barman is pouring the rest of the round, then order another one for yourself at the end and bring it back to the table with the rest.3 points

It's the same at supermarket checkouts. It tends to go like this. Cashier tells the woman what the cost of her shopping is. The woman then goes through the following procedure: 1 Open handbag, search for purse. 2 Take out purse, close handbag 3 Open purse, take out money 4 Close purse, open handbag, put purse in handbag 5 Close handbag, give money to cashier 6 Get change from cashier, open handbag, search for purse she put in there five seconds ago 7 Take out purse, close handbag 8 Open purse, put change in 9 Close purse, open handbag, put purse in3 points

Sorry for the essay, but let's break this down and look at each seat the Greens won. They won 2 seats in Lothian, 1 in Glasgow, 1 in Highlands & Islands, 1 in Mid & Fife, 1 in West. Here's the list of who was next in line for the seats on the final round of the list, and how many more votes the SNP would have needed to take it. In Lothian, the Greens took seats in rounds 2 & 7 on the list. Labour were next in line for seat number 7. The SNP needed another 2394 votes to take the seat, with the Greens having taken 34551 votes in total, so a small portion of Green voters switching would have won the SNP the seat ahead of the Greens. In that case, it is feasible that SNP supporters tactically giving the Greens their second vote cost the SNP a seat in favour of the Greens - for comparison, the SNP took 137,996 constituency votes & 118,546 list votes. In Glasgow, the Greens took their seat in round 4. Seat number 7 went to Labour, with the Greens next in line. The SNP needed another 36790 votes to take the seat, with the Greens taking 23398 votes in total. If every single Green voter had voted SNP it would have given their seat to the Tories rather than the SNP. To flip it round the other way, the Greens needed 3090 more votes to take the seat ahead of Labour, while the SNP took 111101 votes with no return. In H&I, the Greens took their seat in Round 5, with the SNP taking one in Round 6. Seat number 7 went to Labour, with the Tories next in line. The SNP needed another 9984 votes to take the seat, with the Greens taking 14781. While Green voters switching to SNP could have won the SNP the seat, you'd have needed about 70% of Green voters to switch - is it likely that such a high proportion were natural SNP supporters voting tactically? In Mid & Fife, the Greens took their seat in Round 7 with Labour missing out. The SNP needed another 40608 votes to take the seat, with the Greens taking 17860 votes in total. If every single Green vote had gone to the SNP, their seat would have gone to Labour rather than the SNP. Again to flip it round the other way, the Greens would have needed 18788 more votes to take another seat ahead of the Tories, while the SNP took 120128 votes with no return. In West, the Greens took their seat in Round 7 with the SNP next in line, so of course if every Green voter had voted SNP instead then the SNP would have taken the seat - the Greens were 2436 ahead out of a total of 17528 voters. Again for comparison, the SNP took 148,659 constituency votes & 135,827 list votes, so the drop off is again within the margin of votes the SNP needed from the Greens. By all means blame people who voted Green - some of whom were SNP supporters switching tactically, some of whom were Green supporters who voted SNP in their constituency due to the lack of a Green candidate - for the SNP not getting a majority, but you might be more interested to look at dreadful campaigns which saw the SNP lose two constituencies to the Lib Dems and one to Labour, while failing to gain two winnable seats from Labour. The SNP should have won a majority on constituencies alone; it's not the SGP's fault they didn't.3 points

The board have to back the manager in Jan. Queens need at least 3 players to even stay in the Championship. Look at Dunfermline. They had Cardle and Reilly plus more on the bench we had Carmichael and boys on the bench. At times today it was men v boys huge job for Naysmith just hope the board and Naysmith are up to it2 points

Talisker 10 is one of my favourites so I probably rate Skye so lowly as its so much more bland than 10. It's a step down from the previously discussed table whiskies, Jura, Highland Park etc I'm just not a fan of these ageless 'named' whiskies in general2 points

Uncovered Craig Whyte as a Walter Mitty conman, shone a light on dodgy tax arrangements, and highlighted the possibility that the entire operation could go tits up. In hindsight it's understandable to be pissed off with an organisation spouting unadulterated lies like that.2 points

I'd genuinely be interested for the SFA to show their working as to how they ascertained Mackay's credentials as "the outstanding candidate". According to Regan “From the start of the recruitment process, Malky was an outstanding candidate and by the end of that thorough process he was the outstanding candidate." A manager with limited experience; 2 years permanently at Watford, 2 years at Cardiff, was binned from his last job at Wigan after 6 months, has been out the game for a year and a half due to his largely toxic reputation, he has a well publicised scandal on his CV, a potential high court case upcoming...let's revisit that, "the outstanding candidate". Really? It's almost as if they'd already decided Mackay was getting the job from the start. [emoji848]2 points

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38340748 Everyone who buys a pair of these Apple Airpods for the princely sum of £159 should have to read out the following sentence to a member of the human race that has no access to clean drinking water. "He added that one benefit of wireless, miniaturised devices like the Airpods was the fact that connecting wires would not snag on clothing, for example." Definition of '21st century problem' right there. Absolutely superfluous techo-w**k for the emptiest and most bereft human beings that ever lived.2 points

^^ Not original; just predictable. Two days to come up with a semi-coherent, witty retort, and we get something akin to a post-stroke Standfree03 entry. The "Cesspool" in question - the unfortunate donee of many thousands of your inane, predictable mush. My excuse for a 8 hour lapse to reply: Another Gleneagles Friday! And we were on full greens. #Perthshire #Gleneagles #Portglasgowandgreenock2 points

A guy about to make his first parachute jump is surprised to see a blind man climbing into the plane. He sits down next to him and says, "Listen, I don't want to poke my nose in, but you're not going to be jumping, are you?" "As a matter of fact, I am," says the blind man. "I've made about a dozen jumps in the past." The man says, "Well, that's great, but... how do you know when you're about to land, so you can prepare yourself?" "It's easy," says the blind man. "I just wait until the dog's lead goes slack."2 points

Truly we live in a post-truth world. Had this article never appeared I would never have written the following, but in the interests of balance my opinion is that Josh Todd has been virtually anonymous as a Championship player thus far. I have no axe to grind against the lad and although he is willing, he is also lightweight and consistently peripheral, and I can barely recall an incident, never mind a game which sticks positively in the memory. Enough crap already, this smells of an agent trying to winkle his player out of a club.2 points
