  1. Off the field he was an absolute gentlemen and one of the nicest people I’ve met. My parents met him at an awards night one year and both said he was fantastic and spoke all night. My Mum thought he was genuinely a good guy and he became her favourite player for this reason (her not knowing anything about football). When she died a few years back, Bobby found out and got in touch. He donated to the charity for her and signed his match top which she had for years and went with her as she treasured it. Not the best keeper by any stretch but a thoroughly decent guy that we’ll never have a bad word to say about him.

  2. Devi Sridhar, 22 October 2021. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/22/britain-control-covid-winter-lockdown-plan-b-vaccine-certification-masks Germany, just four weeks later: Another catastrophic L for Sridhar then. It's far past time that clowns like her were held responsible for their bogus claims and punted to the dole queue.

  3. Amazing and quite, quite satisfying to see people still raging at the fact the FM did nothing wrong and their w**k fantasies crumbled to so much dust. Odd and rather revealing that these types would play whataboutery with what is unarguably some of the most vile corruption in UK history, exploiting the worst crisis since the second world war to empty the treasury into the pockets of their friends for kit that didn't work and which certainly was paid for in lives as well as billions of pounds, for a cheap and futile shot at The Boss which only served to expose their twisted, tawdry and corrosively bitter selves.

  4. To be fair, DPB is a vile bigot who would defend the Tories if they murdered his entire family, and strichener just loves a pointless argument. Should be roundly ignored.

  5. Related to the last couple of pages is a story with the most magnificent piece of shithousery I’ve ever seen. Old Uncle John lived in his ex-council house in Grangemouth just about all his life. Getting past 70 and with concerns about his mobility, the Council were arranged to install a couple of grab rails, an extra handrail on the stair that sort of thing. Boy from the Council turns up to do the jobs and old Uncle, being that sort of auld guy, follows him all round the house offering a commentary ‘you sure you know what you’re doing son?’, ‘hmm, don’t think I’d be doing it like that’, etc, you get the score. Anyway, having been in the Merchant Navy as a boy, John had profound hearing issues and constantly complained about his hearing aids. Fast forward several years and he’s complaining about a constant beeping in the house that’s keeping him awake all night. Everyone tells him he’s imagining it but no, he insists it’s real and it’s there. Anyway, we give in and investigate and indeed there is a beeping. Best guess we’ve got is the joiner from the Council had got fed up with the constant critique on his work, lifted a floorboard, dropped in a new smoke alarm and waited 3 years for it to run down and wreak its cold heartless revenge on him.

  7. Well, yeah. But Swinney is suggesting this 'proof' AND vaccine passports may be required to be allowed to go to the pub etc. This, while ultimately making little difference to just a vaccine passport as things stand (for the reasons you stated) will still put people off going because of the hassle. You may not need to take the test to register a result, but you still need to have the testing kit available. This in turn will lead to reductions in business income and associated job losses. For no benefit. To me that's unacceptable. The SNP have an infuriating habit of doing things they see other countries doing, without considering why they are doing them and whether they are appropriate here. Their apparant obsession with not wanting to look like they care less than anyone at all is wearing incredibly thin.

  8. If he makes a conscious decision not to get vaccinated despite all the official messaging over the last 11 months then I have little sympathy for him. I support his right not to be vaccinated but he has to live with the consequences of is decision.

  9. I feel really sorry for you that you missed the Serbia game, I hope whatever prior engagement caused you to miss our nation's biggest footballing moment in the last 20 years was worth it. In terms of never missing Jack, he would very clearly have been an improvement on Armstrong against both the Czechs and Croatia in the summer.

  11. All this goalkeeping chat and not a mention of Daniel Mallo Castro - Now he was a class keeper. Another one of Yogi’s finds. I can’t believe he only played 15 times for us. He obviously made a big impression on me!!!

  12. This from the Celtic AGM where the Board also explained that as to the failures in Europe, they "cited the gulf in resources in European football." Ma heart bleeds for the puir wee souls. Glad that's not an issue in their domestic game.

  15. I went a Chinese buffet about 4.30 one day, when I was working away. The more expensive package started at 5.00. The staff were a bit short about me only paying £5.95 instead of £11.95 and said I must have eaten and be out by 5.00. I've never eaten so much, so quickly. I was an absolute pig, so much so, I had to retire to bed and couldn't move the rest of the night. I had meat sweats and never shat for about 2 days, but when I did I was in the bog for hours trying to pass this sideways brick like shite. It's making me ill thinking about it.

  23. The elephant in the room throughout for the NHS we have been asked to protect has been appaling infection control within it. No surprise to see this stance from Clownshoes tbh.

  24. Just to follow up on what I said before re my thoughts on why the divergence of measures between Scotland and England..... If cases in England are dropping yet again, it begs a review of the FMs "not a minute longer than neccessary" chat. Its fast becoming apparent that the spread of the virus cannot be controlled by anything short of locking everyone in their homes again. Its also becoming apparent that this isn't actually neccessary and has been so ever since vaccine coverage in the priority groups was reached. A refusal to acknowledge the decreasong of ability/neccessity of controlling this virus is PURELY political and hence, we are now, IMO squarely in longer than beccessary territory.

  26. I think you have a weird dislike of Ryan Jack for some reason, as he obviously played very well in the Serbia game. Either that or football’s just not for you, because if you’re seriously arguing that Jack wouldn’t even get in the squad then you’re a total moron.

  28. Worked at the Club during Bobby`s spell there and can confirm everything you`ve said. Really nice, unassuming and friendly guy. The players called him "Inspector gadget" as he was always into the latest tech. As part of that, he got interested in photography. After a game at Pittodrie, he walked down to where I was sitting on the team bus just as it left and started enquiring about cameras. When the bus pulled in to the Stadium 2 hours later, he was still standing there asking questions!!

  35. 1. What Scotland fan gives a f**k about 'watching Ronaldo' when World Cup Qualification is on the line? 2. Not much of a selling point? Again - World Cup Qualification - nobody gives a f**k about the weather! 3. Most of us are hoping to get the shitest opponents possible - they're not the selling point FFS.

  37. I mean its just the latest in a long line of things Leitch has said or done which should be a resigning issue, he’s the Duke of Edinburgh of the Scottish Government with the gaffes. You’d think someone who’s supposed to be trained in reassuring people and being compassionate wouldn’t be so absolutely awful at it.
