The sneering, patronising condescension shown towards anyone who supports their local club by these melts is never far from the surface, and when it bubbles up, it is invariably hilarious and vicious in equal measure. A fan owned club, has polled its fans regarding fan arrangements at their home stadium.... Rangers fans somehow think this is some of their business, despite having very recently engaged in a tit for tat with the other cheek that saw away fans frozen out of both grounds. All without a seconds consideration/reflection for why the fans may have voted the way they did.... Well done Saints fans.

Cove aren’t interested chaps. Was hoping to be ‘the inside man’.

Absolutely magnificent. Let us all take a moment to appreciate this utter meltdown. All this on the first night after the announcement as well. "Nasty and pernicious"

If you could bottle and sell Burrows patience I'd buy a crate.

Thank Crunchie its Friday

Look at this historical artefact that's come into my possession

The explanation is it's an illness and through everything that's happened to you your body chemistry is all to f**k. It's not a failing on your part or anything weird or unusual. You are ill. The good news is like the vast majority of illnesses the symptoms will pass and you'll feel better again. If you are having panic attacks and being sick you can go to A&E. A lot of stuff about mental health seems to be about self care but you are allowed to seek immediate help too. Look up EFT Tapping videos on YouTube. It sounds nuts but it helped me with anxiety attacks and is used with people with PTSD.

10 for Wednesday

If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you son, Todd's got 99 chevrons and he wants another one.

Alan Burrows' mentions at the moment btw. Dearie me.

Long time lurker excited for the new season ahead - great to see a bit of continuity with those that have re-signed. Definitely didn't expect to see Connolly back again. Hoping Reilly and Wilson will be solid upgrades too. Enjoying the optimism while its here as its never far off disappearing. Won't miss the drudgery of the last few years with whole squad turnovers and knowing you're probably fighting relegation from the off. Recruitment definitely moved from a bit of a mixed bag into 'we've got a right good chance' Just need to announce Fitzpatrick and we'll stroll it

Reminiscing about Fat Sams in Dundee - happy days, and a welcome return to form 10 for Wednesday.. 5 for the comedy quiz.. Once went to a Neil Simon play starring Boycie actor John Challis - he was very fine on stage.

Is Fitzpatrick Connelly East just the one player? Like Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Bradley Wright Phillips and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink?

Just thought i’d pop in tae say hope ye’s skoosh the league this year boys. Dundee lads are good people and any United lad i’ve met has been an absolute weapon. Getting negative responses on their next manager thread for saying this so thought i’d let ye’s know directly . We’ve both suffered the bin fire that is Mark McGhee so i like to think we are bonded through similar trauma. See ye’s next season lads.

Hi, Tonight I have decided to cancel all my plans and post on another teams thread because I am a sad c**t with no life.

I canny help but laugh, They took a risk and possibly fucked it. I don't see how that's an issue.

Some great work today, particularly in terms of hyphen use. The player recruitment is a bonus too.

Not impressed with Clarke's "realistic fans" comment. He's getting close to Strachan territory. Do "realistic fans" expect us to repeatedly not turn up in first half, throughout his tenure? Do they expect us to capitulate so badly versus Ukraine and Ireland within a short period of time? Looking at the group we are in not too bad a situation, but realistically Clarke has to get it sorted for September, or realistically he will lose support

Your linguistic fastidiousness is making you bias against alot of words. You'll have to re-sign yourself to being exposed henceforth to several examples, pacifically in the SPL forum. Have a lovely day amigo.

Free pie first game of the season for the first one of you to write "ANNOUNCE REY MYSTERIO JNR" under the next pitch update post on Twitter or Facebook.

Scottish administration? Scotland’s a country, not a region. It has a Parliament that currently has a majority of Pro-Independent members, that won its latest election on the back of respective manifestos (given it’s a coalition of Greens/SNP) to hold an independence referendum within its current 5 year term. If they keep winning elections with these mandates, then they absolutely have a case to hold a referendum within the term. That’s how democracy works. Whatever party/coalition of parties in power pledge to do what they say in their manifesto, then that’s what should, under all that is democratic, be enacted. It’s fairly straightforward. Christ, the overwhelming majority of Unionist candidates in 2021 canvassed with slogans like “Vote [insert Unionist party here] to stop SNP holding a referendum” “Only [insert Unionist party here] can stop there being another referendum” Now all of a sudden, the SNP don’t have a mandate or right to hold a referendum. I mean, what is it to be? Advice for Unionists: start getting your own act together, and produce parties that will convince people that they will run the country better, and being in the Union is much better so pro-indy parties aren’t winning constantly at every level in Scotland, ergo having the opportunity to hold independence referendums every decade. It really isn’t that difficult to wrap your head around. As a pro-indy voter, I really don’t want to see it happening anytime soon, because it’ll just be another No vote. The SNP are utterly hopeless at getting the facts straight, addressing the issue around currency and addressing the transitional issues. People just can’t be arsed with the “awk, it’ll be fine” casual patter with these key issues. 16 months or so for the campaign trail isn’t ideal either tbh.

Let’s hope these are not just any signings, and these are M&S signings…

Massive fan but not witnessed a game for a whole season. Seems legit

Aberdeen FC, 1938-39. The side finished third in the league behind the bigoted arsecheeks and made the Scottish Cup semi-finals, losing in a replay to eventual beaten finalists Motherwell. Black and gold stripes had been Aberdeen's colours for 35 years by this stage and are the city's "traditional" colours. Aberdeen East End juniors, who play in Pittodrie's shadow, still wear these colours. I am sure some bright spark will know why, but Aberdeen changed to red shirts in March 1939 and red has been the team's colour ever since.

Many times are you gonnae tell us this. Are you want somebody tae ask ye for your autograph or something.

I for one am outraged that a boy born in the quaint Scottish hamlet of Lambeth, with two parents from the Ivory Coast might fancy playing for a country other than Scotland.

Reading all these posts about General Dissaray in Butters voice in my head and it is pretty funny

The Eyes Have It

I think if you see it as nothing more than a friendly and not an appreciation of the greatest to ever wear the navy blue you need to give yourself a shake

Might just fully embrace the admission that Motherwell are good at this stuff. Great little promo for their new kit, which ties in with it going on sale. Saints will have Murray Davidson roll out of bed one morning, throw him an XXL shirt and get him to stand on a half-grown pitch. Then tell everyone it'll be available to pre-order for an unknown date of arrival.

That is brilliant and shows how highly Crunchie is thought of at other clubs. Time for our support to wake up to the fact we had a fantastic footballer in our midst, who gave us some great memories and he was one of us. GET THOSE F*CKING TICKETS BOUGHT

On a side note Gareth Bale scored a 92nd minute penalty to make it 2-2 away to the Dutch only for the home side to nip up the other end of the pitch and score in the 93rd minute to win it 3-2. Decent night all round.

Alexander deal was a joke, allowing him to go play in a Rangers legends game leaving us to stick a 16 year old on the bench up at Caley.

Morse likes to think he's top dog in our house but Skye is always in there first when there's cake on the go.

Presumably Davie had a job in Ayrshire while at Kilmarnock because I remember him coming to the house to sell my folks their living room carpet. Can't imagine many footballers of his stature doing that in the future! My old man was a big fan so it was a done deal anyway Here's some shots of the 1962 England game at Hampden where Davie got the opener in a 2-0 win for Scotland...

Kick it in the sea

Imagine watching on as your club seek out and pay for affiliation with the Tory party, then spin that out as something to be proud of. Utterly fucking disgusting club.

Another one staying.

They're a dreadful side who were playing with 10 men.

So is England tbf

Its currently a draw 4-4 on the number of goals conceded by England and number of refugees on the flight to Rwanda....its so exciting

Sorry to pollute this thread with my small-minded, petty schadenfreude, but... England 0-4 Hungary

One for the home kit & one for the away kit, obviously!

Yes it's Stephen Kenny's Ireland with their recent defeats against the likes of Luxembourg and Armenia we need to emulate.
