Except Rangers weren't relegated by 3 divisions. Rangers died. A new club formed from the devils ashes and was then automatically promoted to Scotland's professional bottom tier.

No doubt happened in the Red Lichtie district.

If you want entertainment, go to the pictures. f**k Celtic (and Sevco).

Get this patter in the covid thread man. Announce Alston.

If they're allowed spectators I don't see why Highland League football can't start off again tomorrow.

Was looking into the stats for this. Since Steve Clarke (and Alex Dyer) arrived in October 2017, we have come from behind to take at least a point against Rangers and Celtic on 8 separate occasions (in addition to 5 results where we didn't fall behind). Nobody else has done it more than four times.

Following this up. Delicious. Absolutely over the moon with the low and slow stuff.

Can someone please tell James Forrest the barbers are open again.

Got to hand it to those Frenches. They're survivors. Unlike your club.

Cutting to the chase: you think you're right, and when someone has an opinion you don't like you ignore it and then brush them off as being nasty and laughing at you. You present a Spiked article, and when it is widely derided as being poorly researched and ill-informed bullshit, you take the huff. This Joe Rogan Lite approach of mindlessly questioning things without actually engaging isn't going to "improve the situation" either. There's an element of self-declared liberal, left-leaning society, who seem to think that the rise of the right are entirely as a response to, erm, people on Twitter championing social justice. These people are very naive. The crux of the issue is this: the BBC used the n-word, for no reason other than to shock viewers; a black Radio 1 DJ takes issue with this and resigns. A certain element of Twitter and tabloid media explodes in outrage over the fact that a black man might not actually like a serious journalist using the n-word for no reason other than to shock viewers. That's the story, and to dress it up as some sort of LOONY LEFT CULTURAL MARXISM misses the point in spectacular fashion.

It's a swear word as well as being racist. If the person had said "c**t", there's no way they would have repeated it, uncensored, on a pre-watershed local news programme. They'd have said "used offensive language" or some such. I've no idea why they didn't just say "used a racist term" or, if they must, "used the N word", in this instance. Swear words banned unless they're racist swear words seems a bizarre double standard from the BBC. Basically, if you can avoid using that word, avoid it. There was no reason why it had to be used here. It's local news, not a Quentin Tarantino film.

Celtic drop points. League over. Congrats hibs

Thought Killie were brilliant, really stuck to it, some great performances. We were shite.

I greenied this post.

Wonder what Nisbet’s going to do with his new bike?

I still get annoyed, thinking about Liam Lindsay being constantly overlooked for the Scotland u21 squad a few years ago. An absolute disgrace .

Thought I'd pop by and let you see how upset our Doctor is.

FTFY.

Kabamba has been a fantastic signing - had my doubts when we were paying actual money to bring in a guy from Hartlepool with a bang average goalscoring record, but he has so much to his game. Reminds me of Colin Nish quite a lot in that he's a very awkward looking guy but is much better with the ball than you think.

That's me every single day. I'm mostly used to it now but there are times where it does feel a bit shit. Have been drinking alone far too much this year. I think there's only been 5 or 6 weekends this year where I haven't had a load of beers. I used to be so much better at not drinking alone but for some reason fell back in to it in January. It's only ever once a week but not healthy and can lead to stupid shit on my part, like Friday night. It had become like a habit and it was just unhealthy in so many ways. Think it was the wake up call I needed though, so will stop doing it now. I used to only have beers before and after the football or, on the rare occasions it happened, if somehow out with friends. Means I'll hardly be drinking at all now and actually looking forward to that.

If anyone believes that BoJo and his clowns could do anything properly and with any degree of efficiency they need psychiatric help. (A) They would by unwilling to cover the wages of those shielding (B) They wont increase SSP to a reasonable amount £175 would be the minimum (C)The SG are unable to borrow so cannot pick up the slack on this front

I'm not remotely close to panicking about this season yet. For better or worse, Robinson's seasons have followed the pattern of slow starts and grim performances while he figures out his best team and style of play, before we eventual click and start playing like a Top Six team -sometimes too late to actually finish there in the table though. This time three years ago we were mounting last minute comebacks to scrape by Edinburgh City and losing 4-1 to St Johnstone. Two months later we were at Hampden. This time last year we were lucky to draw 0-0 at Almondvale, getting horsed by Celtic and going out the cup to the worst Hearts team in decades. We finished 3rd. He's dug us out of much deeper holes with significantly worse squads on multiple occasions before and I think it's pretty ludicrous for folk to write off his chances of turning it around this season already.

We were fucking shite today but still in the Premiership for a 7th season in a row. Carry on crowdwanking from Falkirk's lowly position of **checks notes** League 1

Killie were excellent defensively, plenty of pressure, commitment & anticipation. Looked quite good on the break too. Everything I want Aberdeen to be, unfortunately. Alex Dyer also has a very kind face.

Only here for the Nisbet chat. If you thought Rie was creepy with Colin Nish, watch any Pars fan follow this Hibees threads all season long.

Modern world. Folk have to announce to the world when they do a 'good deed'. Folk like that do these things more for themselves than the actual person they are supposed to be helping IMO. A few Christmases back my brother put a homeless guy up in a hostel for a night. He never announced it all over FB and we wouldn't have known about it had he not casually mentioned it to my mum on the phone later on. Folk will sell their souls for some fucking Likes on FB.

It's used in rap music to make money, aye? I'm sure people like Wretch 32 and Akala are glad that their carefully considered lyrics and word choice have been reduced by perennially seething Hearts meltdown merchant JTS98 to a money making choice.

"Not a great look" is where your first response to this story is "it's dangerous if we can't say n*gger on TV or on the radio".

French Toast with caramelised bananas & maple syrup

Lads you're telling a black man how he should react to the N word being used. Take a step back and think for a minute.

Enjoy watching Connor Sammon in League One you stinking melt.

Well that was a fantastic first round with everyone taking part. Incidentally the play off question, Albert Ball had 44 kills when he died in 1917. We will have the team aggregates first and in the current order Leading the way with a stonking 48 points is Team Shark. Ruggy top scored with a nine. In joint second with 47 points is Team Bear. Top scorer WRKwith a nine The other team on 47 is team Tiger. Top scorer was four of you with an eight. In fourth place on 45 points is team Lion. Top scorer with a nine was Deej. In fifth but not far behind on 44 points is team Crocodile, top scorer was Caspian Chris with a nine. Onto the indiviudal competition now. @WhiteRoseKillie v @Arch Stanton Every contest needs a big tie and the two heavyweights gave a great display but alas it was Yorkshire's favourite turnkey who nudged through against the man with the chemistry degree (or something else Sciency) 9 points to 8. Unlucky Arch but you can still win the individual event over 4 rounds. @Salvo Montalbano v @alang1993 Salvo was late to the party after being held up at a crimescene against the young pretender who left the pub for long enough to go through seven points to six. Lion defeated Lion, that could be awkward in the dressing room. @Rugster v @Helpma Another clash of the titans saw Falkirk's finest agaisnt the recently returned Helpma who had us all worried. In a high scoring contest with both attacks on top Ruggy went through 9 points to eight. @Eednud v @The_Kincardine It was the battle of the old timers with Adelaide's Edmund up against Bucks Kinky, this pair were inconsiderate enough to draw eight all but in the playoff Edmund did enough to edge through. Unlucky Kinky. @Bully Wee Villa v @G_Man1985 Everyone's favourite mod against the Irn Bru guzzling five a side pro was to produce the shock of the round. Snooker fan BWW found himself tight behind the black as Gman produced a cracking performance to go through eight points to four. @Silky Si McFly v @Cardinal Richelieu This pair asked to play each other, one of them will be regretting it now, Simon is a quiz hosting expert and knows his onions, the Cardinal is a workshy layabout who steals from the Church. Delighted to see Si go through eight points to seven against the IT exprt (geeeeeekkkkkkk) @Spring Onion v @Jacksgranda This was a step to much for the old man from loch nagar, sorry Norn Iron as he fell to Palmerstons finest Spring Onion in an eight points to six scoreline. Springy certainly seems to be in season and with this display he could go far. @101 v @die hard doonhamer Young Adam or symbol or whatever he is calling himself this week is definitely a cup specialist. He did come up against a tough competitior in the Qos cricket and golf loving DHD who I think is also a referee. Well his card was marked here as he fell eight points to five aginst 101. The green suit will be on now. @LincolnHearts v @kingjoey This could have went anyway with Jambo facing Aberdeen in a battle of the veterans. A positive start from joey a bit like his Aberdeen players corona tests wasn't enough though as Lincs stormed through to take the tie eight to five. A bad week for all associated with the Ewe Camp (tee hee). @JamesP_81 v @mathematics This was another good tie, New dad James must not be getting his beuty sleep though as he narrowly fell to Tattoo loving Killie Fan Maths who got his sums right to nudge through seven points to six. @peasy23 v @The DA Another cracking tie in this one, Petershill enthusiast (the old ground was great) against the inconsistent but talented DA. the latter was to do enough though as the Dundee United fan nicked through eight points to seven. The fans got their monies worth that's for sure. @Perkin Flump v @BigBo10 Tiger v Shark now that would be a cool name for an animal, a tiger shark, I wonder if anyone has thought of that before, well maybe. Anyway moomin and the auchinleck fan in an all Ayrshire battle were to draw eight all. I've been to Talbot's ground, I never knew I could run so fast. In the play off Perkin's knowledge of WW1 flyers did the trick. Unlucky Bo. @The Captain v @deej The bookies couldn't split them and it was close. My dear chum El Capitan got an eight, unfortunately for him cup specialist and Dundee fan (my there is a lot of them isn't there) scored a whopping nine. Well done you Albert Kidd loving fiend. @MixuFruit v @Geaky Mixu can often be seen making things is his work shop or cooking up a tasty treat, looks a better cook than my wife tbh was up against the enigma that is Geak. I've only noticed that he has a bear as an avatar, shame I put him in team Lion, I suggest you keep an eye on your team mate lions. Anyway as it was Geaky served up a treat to defeat Mixu seven to six and leave him choking on his latest gourmet meal. @SlipperyP v @NJ2 Our league table guru and a man that does a great job came up against one of his apprentices the Welly Boot. Concentrating so much on the league and picking all those flowers meant that Slippy slipped, the Welly boot loving Tennent's gulping Jambo goes through eight to five. @NotThePars v @Snobot The recently returned NTP has looked good since his self imposed exile and he was up against a wiley competitior in Snobot, I don't know enough about Snobot I must pay more attention in future (I'm not a stalker honestly) but I do like his avatar. Incidentally NTP goes through eight to five. @Adamski v @Blootoon87 Adamski has a picture of Benjamin Massing as his display, that is quite apt as his last minute appearance was as late as Massing's tackle on C Cannigia back in the 1990 world cup. (Massing passed away a couple of years back). Blootoon is hot of the heels of winning the last cup as team England, he wasn't too keen on the team name but by golly he was keen on the trophy he picked up. His good form continues as he beats Adamski eight to five. @Leeds Saint v @German Jag This was another close tie, Leeds Saint who also won a trophy against the big Hannover fan Jerry Jag. Now Jerry is in team Lion and his club's rivals are apparently Lions, oops. It just got worse for him though as Leeds Sain went through seven to six. Well done Mr Saint. @gkneil v @CaspianChris This was a mouth watering clash against the consistent Aberdonian and the Dundee United loving Caspian dweller. A new Firm battle if you will but Jim McLean's lads cruised through nine to six against Ian Porterfields troops. It's not been a good week for Eberdeen. Finally @pleslie99 v @Ross. These two bunnets also drew, P Leslie has been up and down recently but he always does well in the cups. Clydebank (yuck) fan Ross is another new father (congrats) and I'm not sure if anyone knows this (he has never mentioned it) lives in Switzerland. Well Ross you need to read up more on your WW1 flying aces as Mr Leslie goes through after an eight all draw. Well everyone that concludes this round. I will put up the next round tomorrow at some points, but it's all to play for in the team event, the individual event and the head to head. I'm now away to get a beer, and get bladdered. Have a good evening everyone.

Not started a match thread for a while, so why the f**k not this one ? Home side have started the season well enough, 4 points against sides you would expect to be in and around the top 6. For the away side, this is merely another step on the road towards stopping the 10. It's also an opportunity to repost this, and a reminder that if it wasn't for the Hibs, you dayglo DABs would be supporting Dundee. Thank you.

Your pledge to stop wetting your knickers this season didnt last long did it? Service as usual resumed.

I think the lack of self-awareness displayed by Aberdeen points to a cultural fault at the top. Little wonder when the guy calling the shots looks like a low budget Wayne Lineker.

Exactly. The results aren't final. Everyone will have a chance to get their results changed through appeal. If there are still kids with straight As in their prelims with shit results after the appeals process then the toys can justifiably come out the pram.

Clyde 4 RC Lens 0 Another European tournament was in the offing though. The French Football Federation came up with a concept involving eight of their clubs playing against eight sides under the combined banner of Scotland and England. The Scottish League rejected this however, so two Friendship Cups were created instead; one for the English to compete against four French clubs, with the other four taking on Scottish teams. Clyde were invited to take part after a fine 6th place finish in the old First Division in 1959-60. They were paired with Racing Club de Lens, who also finished in 6th position in the French League. The town of Lens, in the north of the country, was famous for its coal mining, and the club were financed by the Lens Mining Company. The first leg was played at the Stade Felix-Bollaert on a Sunday afternoon; not only would this be Clyde’s first ever European game, but it also be the first time they played a competitive fixture on a Sunday. In the other matches, Motherwell saw off Toulouse and Dundee recorded a victory over Valenciennes, which meant Sedan beating Celtic was only a consolation for the French. The Scottish clubs had won the trophy! The Franco-Scottish Friendship Cup ran again the following season but this time without Clyde, who suffered relegation from the Scottish top flight. A lack of interest from fans resulted in poor attendances and only three of the four ties were played, before the tournament was consigned to the history books..

I take my wee boy to the playpark in Saughton Park which has a skate park next to it and it’s been well used since play areas were reopened over a month ago. Likewise the rose gardens in the same park with some people having picnics. From what we can work out the places that have seen outbreaks are due to people in close proximity indoors (bars in Aberdeen, workplaces Leicester) not going for a picnic with a limited group of people or going to an outdoor skatepark.

And when does the court order run out?

Great to see that cowardly bigot Kincardine being absolutely rinsed yet again. I particularly enjoyed the theory that it isn't the job of opposition parties to offer alternatives. I suppose this might explain why the Labour, Tory and Libdem northern accounting units have been completely slapped down by the electorate in every election since about 2007. Daft old c**t.

First of all, would just like to welcome back our Hibernian brethren. True justice has prevailed. Secondly, I hope we pump you back into oblivion. xx

So happy Hearts took Neilson off us. A definite upgrade with Micky.

Stevie Aitken the only manager in the world capable of playing fitba that made Nisbet look shite.

The old toilet block at the groundsman's shed demolished today. Work starts on the lights on Monday. All the peripheral lighting in the ground now finished. Exciting times.

I think criticism of the BBC acting as a bullshit aggregator for the rest of the pondlife that 'reports' on Scottish football is wholly deserved tbh
