Ruth Davidson is, and always will be, an absolute fucking scumbag without any principles.

The queen’s an arsehole.

An unelected cabal of right wing fanatics take over the government, then signals its intention to suspend parliamentary democracy to force through a hugely divisive advisory referendum result, predicated upon lies, dirty money, social media manipulation and greed. You really couldn’t make it up. Dystopian fiction now reads like dewy-eyed optimism; satire is rendered redundant as even the most acerbic and cynical wits can’t keep pace with the ever-metastasising evil of populism: a toxic miasma of ever-shifting lies, deceit and untruths driven by unseen operators. It seems insufficient to merely proclaim that Britain is dead. The zombie carcass, in league with other dark forces throughout the globe, is still capable of inflicting great damage, and not only upon itself.

It's a diddy with no experience of being given any sort of attention, doing an impression of what he thinks a benevolent wealthy person would be like.

There's no denying that it's a big blow for the Unionists in Scotland. Davidson (and to a lesser extent Mundell) was the cuddly, acceptable face of Toryism, positioned by a compliant media as more liberal and different to the toxic Tories down south. A shield to hide the more rabid Brit Nats and the increased courting of the orange vote and the various bigots and racists that have been nominated as candidates for local elections and so on. We're now left with Alister Jack and probably Fraser or Tomkins. The mask hasn't just slipped, it's fallen right fucking off.

Regardless of all the pathetic English "patter" about Scottish football, make no mistake that August 27 2019 is a black day for football as a whole. No football fan should have to wake up and have his club gone. We came close to that twice, and I couldn't imagine enjoying football anymore if Dundee no longer existed. I'm sure there will be a phoenix club made and Bury will have a football club, but it won't ever truly be their football club. And Bolton fans look likely to face the same fate in 2 weeks. I take no joy in seeing any club die. Except Rangers, that was funny.

Any truth that King has tabled a bid for Bolton's 1958 FA cup win to add to his Rangers haul? History for sale down there.

Relax troops. All good. Big week coming up [emoji106][emoji3581]

It's a post about the Partick Thistle mascot on the Partick Thistle thread. An English political artist has created a collage of what he considers to be positive British role models and has included the Partick Thistle mascot. Stop being so fucking touchy.

I think the worst thing about all of this is the number of the general public who are shrugging their shoulders and asking "what does that mean?". Our people are so far detached from the actual workings of government and our media do an absolutely terrible job of explaining just how serious some things are. If we don't end up with independence off the back of this fucking shambles, I give up.

What's not to love about the Josh Falkingham derby?

A93 would probably be closed at Balmoral / Crathie with normal traffic being diverted along the B976 and A939 via Culsh.

That's the same bs that came out after they were liquidated. Most top flight clubs attendances increased. I'll be very happy if they never visit again

We'll see how they respond to what will no doubt be a very loud response from their "fans" on Sunday, then we can gauge their seriousness or not on the matter.

The Helen Lovejoy-esque, faux concern about the climate impact of North Sea oil now is particularly amusing, given that the same Yoon roasters have been telling everyone that it was just about to run out every year for the past three decades.

I almost jizzed my nether garments when I read that The Racist Club had been hit with a second UEFA charge. Absolutely magnificent from the blazers in Nyon and the charlatans at Hampden that supposedly run the Scottish game have been shown up for the spineless cowards they are. [emoji2][emoji41][emoji108]

Thoughts and prayers with all Scottish political 'journalists', especially Stephen Daisley, at this difficult time.

I think a big part of a wedding day is giving something back to family and friends who have helped you or been there for you over the years. This trend for only thinking about exactly what you want is nae right and neither is this getting married abroad nonsense. The main part of the day for me was making sure that other people were well fed, had enough to drink and had a proper band to dance to at night. Don’t ask for money for your honeymoon it’s crass and don’t put out a wedding list if you’ve been living together for years already. Speeches before dinner.

Lower league but climbing the ladder....

Sir Ian Wilmut, the scientist who cloned Dolly the sheep successfully made a clone of himself and took it down the pub to show off. The clone goes up to the bar and shouts, "Hoi! Big milky-titted barmaid, get me a pint!" The clone gets his pint and swaggers across the pub, pinching women's arses, giving their boobs a wee jiggle and saying filthy suggestions to them on the way back to Sir Ian, who is sitting there thoroughly embarrassed. Sir Ian decides there and then to do away with his creation and leads him up to the highest building he can see and pushes it off the edge. Sir Ian gets back down to the bottom and is swiftly huckled by the police. "I suppose I'll be doing life for murder." he says, resigned to his fate. "No" the policeman says, "We're arresting you on suspicion of making an obscene clone fall."

Forster Ken's! Asked on deetv interview about shankland. Reporter mentioned Shankland been on fire this season and he started sniggering. Reported asked again it must be hardest job in scottish football right now stopping him how you going to go it? Forster replied with a smile you'll see on friday night. Right through that dab big man. First 5 mins youll prob get away with it too.

If they cared about the club, they wouldn’t have let it die.

The one thing that the last two statements prove is that the Rangers board are aware that their club is viewed as really small fish in the UEFA pond. There is no way that they would bring out similar statements if this was an SPFL or SFA punishment. I’ve had a read through a bit of the Rangers fans thread and, surprisingly, there are few sensible comments. However the majority are just - wow! The theme that runs through it is that the fans should sing no sectarian sings tomorrow night, but let rip on Sunday.

Shut it fatty

Imagine being a Tory or a Tory supporter, what a fucking minter.

The likes of Mogg and Banks et al want brexit because proposed EU legislation would eventually cause them to have to pay tax in the UK on the money they make through their 'businesses' which are headquartered in 'tax free' regions and cloaked in secrecy. This is really what brexit is all about.

Everytime I see the name Tartantony this plays in my head...

Guys cmon we are all big enough and ugly enough to take a slagging (giving/receiving). That’s what the forum is about but we cannot advocate the malicious comments - it is no surprise that DL has removed himself from it. Over 90% of us can keep it too banter but that 10% are a country mile out. Am sure am speaking for most here. Can we get back to normal business and keep it strictly football [emoji106]

Put me down for executing the Royals too. #FBPE

At least this shirt will finally get some use.

Pick of the bunch

tbh i wouldnt say BPM posts have been anything more than reservations that a lot of us share, I have a lot of concerns myself and i was at the first meet the preferred bidder at the stadium but from everything he has said there is nothing he has came out with that have allayed any fears any of us have about him. The 15 or so failed businesses but everything seems to be thats another MC or thats not me or i lead a private life and kept out the spotlight due to a messy divorce. Just like a lot of others just want the whole thing over and done with now its nearly as tedious as brexit, i just dont want the status quo to remain in place but not at the expense of the club.

Scottish Premiership goals: Lawrence Shankland: 0 Sofien Moussa: 7

Just received this from my brother who has lived and worked in england for over 30 years. Really not sure which particular thread to post this in, but the brilliant writing echoes exactly what is happening to and in Scotland by the london-centric upper class arseholes of the Tory party running their wee westminster cabal for their members only. It also touches on a subject much discussed here and shows that it is not only the decent people of Scotland who are being subjected to the "superior" race.

Never ever write us off, for as long as we can field a team, we will fight for every blade of grass. We have an experienced committee and some players, who have been there and have the T-shirt to prove it. We were one of the first reams to register this year, even though we lost nearly an entire squad. The rumours of our death have been greatly exaggerated, we aren't dead yet, we were only badly wounded, so beware, as we are healing quickly, Trust me there is plenty of fight left in this big old dog, and pre season means nothing. We will decide when we are going to die, and I am sure you will all on here, be some of the first to know. We are a determined bunch at Shortlees, myself being one of the worst offenders. We are going well with what we have, having brought in new young, and older experienced players, who are only now buying in to what is required of them, to play for Shortlees, with hard work being the main ingredient. Also we have a new management team, and the boys are listening and learning from them, they are taking onboard what the coaches are telling them with great enthusiasm, and implementing their instructions to the letter on the park. I think the committee, management and the players deserve great credit for their response, as they have been magnificent for us, I honestly cant praise them enough, as in our darkest hour, they have given us everything they have got. In my opinion, it is far to quickly to write anyone off this early in the season, as on any given day, anyone can beat anyone, with only the fancied Glenburn remaining unbeaten, plus there is not one draw on the board. Ok granted, we might not get fully get there this season, but it definitely won't be for the lack commitment, from all at Shortlees. We wish everyone all the best for the season, and keep your eyeswideopen. I will leave you with this famous little sentence. WRITE US OFF AT YOUR PERIL.

I know she's quite short, but still, that's a horrifying mental image for all sorts of reasons

I'm beginning to think your wife could be the brighter one in your relationship.

I can't believe I'm going to have to say this. Radford's cancelled.

I feel really sorry for them. I know that no-one helped us but I still wouldn't wish it on any other set of fans.

If he is going to takeover, one of the conditions has to be him deleting his Twitter. Guy's an absolute riddy.

Old Grey Whistle Pests?

The Byrds - The Times They Are A Changin'

Westminster have terribly mismanaged our huge natural resource and essentially given decades of it away as freebies to the rich and greedy. Consecutive labour and Tory govts have made the shareholders of BP, shell etc and numerous investment funds a tidy wee packet. With our resource. At the expense of our public sector. There are decades left. More off to the West, once we get rid of the weapons of mass murder from the Clyde. Scotland must look to the Norwegian model. With compulsory purchase nationalisation if necessary. We extract simar amounts. The Norwegian public sector receives 10 times as much as the UK public purse. Scotland in turn receives a population share of this smaller amount. You do the sums. Please explain again how we are better off in this Disunited kingdom. Scottish unionists are f@ckin mugs.

That's me convinced

You should always clear your fanny rash after browsing dodgy internet sites.

So am I going to be able to sell unsafe electricals after October, or what? I've got a skip full of Christmas trees with exposed wires, cracked plugs, you name it. Could be a big seller if the Brussels bureaucrats keep their noses out.

Both teams deserve to lose after this showing.
