Absolutely mental that Carlisle is in England when it’s about a 20 minute drive from Gretna.

Can anybody suggest any real area of society that tier 4 is hitting that will have a major effect on the rates? I just can't see it. Hairdressers, Gyms, buying a book or getting a new pair of shoes. Sitting in a cafe for an hour. It just strikes me as they feel like they must be seen to be doing something.

This shite can get in the bin. Dangling carrots to appease the thought of longer lockdowns whilst people lose their jobs just so thw facebook maws and da’s can enjoy christmas and then the euros

9 to 5 9 2 5 9 + (2 x 5) = 19 Covid-19. Dolly has orchestrated this entire pandemic to get herself richer. Wake up sheeple!!

Thank you, Dolly. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vacciiiiiinnne.

I genuinely hope everyone who feels this is necessary to save Christmas has the worst fucking Christmas ever. Jesus is a c**t and so are you.

Good news Simon Murray hat-trick for Strollers against Caledonian Braves this afternoon Pretty strong line up and more good news Craig Slater started so injury couldn't have been too bad [emoji1696]

Vote Green on the list. They’re pro-Indy and have the added bonus of not being utter c***s.

That's not unusual...

Extremely deflating news. West Dunbartonshire figures dropping and people largely following rules just to be pumped into tier 4. There will be others worse than me, but I'm at a pretty low point mentally with things that have gone on the last few weeks and the thought of being sat in my house for the next 3 weeks is excruciating. I don't even want to think how I'll feel if tier 4 gets extended further. All to save a Christian holiday that I could not give a shiny shite about. I wouldn't be surprised to see rises in WD now tbh. Why obey the rules if we're just getting shafted into whatever tier Glasgow is in anyway?

Happy Birthday to Flu.

Open Goal is excruciating. Every episode is Simon Ferry in his weird Dundee/Weegie hybrid accent asking some ex-*** 'What was Walter Smith like in the dressing room eh?' or 'What was Boydy's diet like?' And that Paul Slane, a boy who has played about 15 games of professional football in his life, is as funny as Aids.

@Ludo*1 @Yenitit I guess we have been a Yo-yo club for so long now, I get so exasperated and think this as good as it gets and what we are destined to be for good. But then I see the clubs a similar 'size' (a debate for another day) like Kilmarnock and Motherwell and they are pretty stable where they are, with the odd good cup run, European slot and top 6 finish and it gives me a slap round eh pus. That's where we should be, we deserve better than the shite served up the past 20 odd years. Get McPake back to the youths and instead of putting money forward for the likes of Hamilton, Dorrans ar even Hemmings, spend decent money on a competent manager. Don't get Nelms to hire either, he comes across as a decent guy but he really doesn't have a clue how to pick a manager.

Omg you are so interesting!

Me and my wife are the proxy voters for over 100 pensioners in the care home we work in. That's over 100 Green list votes lads.

ive said it before and i can see why some teams want to play but there is no way our level of football should be continuing when u cant travel from area to area

A few photos I took of Karabakh in happier times.

The thing that really gets me is that we had the chance to be the unquestioned dominant team in the city for a decade or more and we pissed it away. DABS in the Championship and struggling to get up, and we had the chance to put together a team capable of challenging for top 6 year on year, like Motherwell or even the bloody fermers have managed until recently. I remember being the only non-DAB in my primary school class (early to mid 80's), because of what was happening across the road at that time and hating being surrounded by them everywhere. We had a chance for a generation of kids to go the other way and follow a successful team in Dark Blue. So, what do we do? Give the manager's job, in quick succession, to an untried TV pundit, a useless DAB and another untried manager. Go into a top flight season with Jack Hamilton as number 1 goalie and Moussa as our top striker. Sign Davies, Curran & Woods. Let a player who has a shot at being, if not world-class, then certainly a top-level, midfielder go the "Rangers" for £25 and some shiny buttons. Hopeless bunch of cvnts.

Smoke crack at 5am with a couple of my mates and a homeless woman, in some dodgy side street in Amsterdam. It wasn’t a terrible experience, quite the opposite in fact, but not something I’m particularly proud of or would rush to do again.

Christ, without devolution – leaving aside the advantages of local government - we'd have been forking out for the bedroom tax, paying for our prescriptions and our personal care in old age, paying for our further education. Our less well off would be paying more tax. Our water would have been privatised. On the other hand we'd have been able to raid our council houses for profit. We're still paying for Crossrail and HS2 and Trident and all the sneaky deals the Tories have made during COVID, but there's something we can do about that in May.

I mentioned it on the match day thread but two decisions that ensured that McPake could never win my faith back were as follows: 1. Jack Hamilton. I don't think it's a stretch to say McPake knows he's shite. He's dropped him multiple times. He dropped him for Hazard twice last season yet still thinks it's a good idea to go into this season with him as his number one. The argument is that we have 2 keepers on our books and couldn't afford to address the situation as there was other, more pressing issues just doesn't wash. Hamilton had the worst match in his Dundee career (And that's some going) on the day McPake took over as caretaker manager. 2 and a bit seasons later the boy is still first choice keeper (Although his days are hopefully numbered with the new signing). 2. McPake 100% planned on running with a 3 at the back system. We've been in lockdown for 6 month, he's had plenty of time to mould a plan and launch an assault on the league this season. All pre-season we run with the 3 at the back system. First league game of the season and we're well and truly pumped and the 3 at the back is completely ditched leaving him scrambling ON THE FIRST FUCKING DAY as all his plans are ruined. If he was insistent on going with the 3 at the back system then fine, sign the fucking players to play it. Furthermore, if you're planning on going with said formation, why do we have only 3 centre halves on the books? Why punt a promising youth CH on loan if we're struggling to get anyone else in? Why resort to playing Cammy fucking Kerr in a 2 man system a mere 4 games into the season?! We'd be fucked if the 3 at the back system was working due to this sheer incompetence. And the solution to our CH problems? Liam Fontaine. A man punted from a struggling Ross County who's pretty much universally regarded as completely finished is the man mooted to save our defensive struggles. And the kicker? The exact fucking same happened on day 1 of last season at Dunfermline. The plan to go with 3 at the back ditched by half time on the opening day and a clear as day lack of plan B which meant we then spent the coming weeks and months playing catch up with the rest of the league trying to learn a basic bloody system. It's shambolic and it's Sunday league level of management.

Are the BBC having a fucking laugh? 11th of March just airbrushed out of existence

So easy...

Personally I’d prefer a Frizzel/Wilson parternship, Denny hasn’t done anything to convince me thus far.

They're not craven, No-voting shitebags though so Glasgow wins that contest every day of the week.

In olden times the capital was wherever the King was

That means it's only 13 months today since yer Auntie on Facebook claims she had something that the doctor's couldn't get to the bottom of.

Oral B, aye?

I suppose it’s also worth saying that ‘Tony Blair’s biggest mistake’ in the eyes of Boris Johnson was not the Iraq War, but granting Scotland a democratic referendum on whether or not it wants decisions on Scotland to be made in Scotland. That decision itself was made in Scotland - not by Tony Blair. At this stage it’s almost hard to believe Johnson isn’t actively trying to break up the UK. Were it not for the complete disaster of refusing the North of England access to furlough for months on end, but then granting it as soon as the south needed it merely days after withholding a measly £5m from Greater Manchester, I’d think it was a deliberate strategy. But there is no masterplan, and even if there was Johnson would either be unaware or would’ve forgotten. As ever with Johnson, the explanation is the most simple one - incompetence and laziness.

Seeing a lot of commentary about this but I haven’t seen a single mention that Scotland actually voted for devolution, via a referendum. This is starting to look suspiciously like ignoring the will of the Scottish people.

We’ve had some brutally cold winds here recently but today was beautiful. Shirt sleeve weather in the middle of November.

St Johnstone match statistics. Thank you.

2 years ago tonight our daughter walked out on her children,it has been a bloody hard 2 years but by god it has been worth it.They are safe and happy.

Episode 3 will be Ann Budge sitting in her conservatory on Zoom to her Lionel Hutz legal team talking about how unfair it all is. This pointless documentary is Hearts revenge for their deserved kicking in the summer. We all want Tynie tears.

Phoning football clubs to complain about their in-house commentary is a crime worse than DMing footballers to compliment them on their performance IMVHO

They accumulated the least number of points in a 12 team league.

Well if you’ve nae teeth there’s no much point.

The Queen, Pele, The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; Jimmy Carter; Raúl Castro; Yoko Ono; Sir Alex Ferguson, Clint Eastwood; Sophia Loren; Roman Polanski; Pierre Cardin. All in one day according to Radio France. The Bassin de Mort thread in Baguette'n'Cognac going off the scale. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/16/french-broadcaster-apologises-after-killing-off-queen-and-pele

Not sure who that Chief is, but he's obviously an important bloke to have his own road sign.

Boris Johnson has done more for Scottish Independence than Sturgeon and Salmond combined [emoji23]. Keep it up BoJo it’ll be 60% for Yes by December. DRoss is an utter snivelling weasel of a man, it’s no wonder the coward is going for the list.

Here's some alternative crying, just for balance.

By leaving out the St Mirren defeat it's clear that they're building a narrative that Hearts were somehow 'unfairly' relegated. They've also not even mentioned Motherwell 1-0 Hearts, Hearts 0-1 St Johnstone, Hamilton 2-1 Hearts, Ross County 0-0 Hearts, St Johnstone 3-3 Hearts, Hearts 2-3 Kilmarnock or Celtic 5-0 Hearts. Not a single reference to any of them in this episode. They were very selective in what games they showed and/or mentioned. Did they even reference a single defeat, save for the derby one? If they were to note the comical run of results Hearts together that saw them bottom, the 'hard done by' narrative that will be pushed very hard next week (no doubts with weeping staff members being punted and Ann Budge trying to tie that in to how terribly unfair Hearts being treated) won't hold. Unsure who they think they're fooling though.

Cinnamon is a ned with a guitar. I can't believe he's gotten a record deal tbh.

Somerset Park,1951. Scottish Cup Quarter Final. Finished 2-2, Motherwell won the replay 2-1. Great picture.

A clear case of gas lighting if ever I've seen it.
