Say what you like about the quality, or lack of, in Scottish fitba. Give me this any day of the week over sanitised EPL pish.

Took the new Mrs MarbellaDEE to Mauritius to get engaged. Gave the guy organising the boat trip my pink number to keep. Deelighted. Thank you.

A super rich, corrupt, lying posh sociopath who boasts about starving poor areas of funds to give to richer areas gets made prime minister without anything vaguely resembling democracy and the truth is, most people are a bit relived because it could have been so much worse. The UK in 2022 folks.

Glasgow Motherwell FC, you just got Cormacked.

Better together apparently though.

McIntyre is a complete disgrace. He's the worst thing to ever happen to Sportsound.

I am going to admit myself to hospital. It will almighty certainly cost me my job and my home, and my family will hate me, but I need help.

A rare opportunity for Falkirk fans to visit somewhere bleaker than Grangemouth.

This country is terrible, the choice between every Tory leadership candidate is comparable to being asked whether you’d rather eat a dog-shit sandwich or a cat-shit sandwich. What the f**k is wrong with the people of Scotland that Indy isn’t polling above 90% yes by now? It’s a disgrace & I’m becoming embarrassed to be Scottish, we really are the abused partner who is too scared to leave, just incase the next c**t is worse! For me, it’s never been an economic argument, it’s always been about self determination & how our politics are different to our southern neighbours. It seems as a nation, we really aren’t. f**k the entire political system, it doesn’t suit me.

All Tories are c***s

They're just tatties. If Machu Pichu is so great, why does no c**t live there? Moon? Aye right.

I'm a relatively new user to Twitter, so maybe I'm a bit naive. But the reaction of Celtic fans online to the events of the weekend are amazing. Have a wee look and you'll see Celtic fan after Celtic fan posting things like 'WHERE ARE THE LINES!!!' in reference to the offside decision against them on Saturday. Then, when someone posts a picture showing the lines and why it's offside, the mass response of Celtic fans is 'THOSE LINES LOOK FUNNY TO ME'. Another example is Celtic fans widely sharing a video of an offside decision where you can't see the attacking player for about 2 seconds or so after the keeper kicks the ball. It's fucking mad, but their echo chamber keeps this mince rolling on and on and on. There's simply no winning here. The story with VAR is not going to be people being happy with better decisions, it's going to be people (in Scotland I'm going to stick my neck out and say Celtic and Rangers fans especially) being more unhappy with anything going against their team, and the fact it's now video checked just confirming what they already know, that the world is out to get them. It's really depressing.

Jeezo this Pollok team don’t look half bad, glad we have a home tie tbh.

I fucking hate Falkirk.

The BBC are discussing what "the market thinks" like a bunch of Pagan priests declaring the god of fertility is happy with a ritual sacrifice.

Hard to believe a set of fans could trump Clyde in the wee guys thinking they’re big guys stakes, but here we are.

Five defenders is fine if at least one is capable of joining in when you attack. When it worked for us, McCart could certainly push forward but really it was Kerr who was heavily involved in most moves down the right. If none of the three are prepared to do that then you are going to struggle to break a good defence down and need attacking players with extra quality to find a killer pass or cross that can take opponents out of the game. On Friday night we had three CBs who made 6 passes into the final third from inside the opposition half before the red card, a wing back who I don't think anyone could say is comfortable going forward, a defender playing in central midfield and the wide players were a former winger who had terrible numbers and was converted to a more defensive role and a player who has played about half-a-dozen positions already in his short Saints career. Absolutely no idea why we created absolutely nothing before the red card and introduction of May, Murphy and Wotherspoon... It was certainly fair to say we could lack an identity under Tommy Wright but as I watched our brand of idiot football you couldn't but wonder, what are we trying to do here? Have tried to go easy on the manager since the window closed but need to see a lot more in the next four games than we have in last four. But not naive enough to not realise that if we pick up a few points and are in a similar placing in the table come the World Cup that there is zero chance of any change coming.

Scored once against us whilst at United. It was in the cup and we ended up papping them out. Nice try though.

As you may remember, last month I had a malignant tumour removed from my leg. It appears to be healing nicely - I have to have the dressings changed twice a week and the nurse is always pleased with the progress. On Tuesday I went for a CT scan to see if the tumour had spread. Today I got the results and they gave me the all-clear. No sign of any malignant cells in chest, abdomen or pelvis.

Pissing these people off makes my oil industry work feel a little more worthwhile.

Another nice comparison is games required to accumulate our current points total of 19 (have also included the managers for those games and final league position): 18/19 = 31 matches (Stubbs / Kearney, 11th) 19/20 = 21 matches (Goodwin, 9th) 20/21 = 17 matches (Goodwin, 7th) 21/22 = 19 matches (Goodwin, 9th) 22/23 = 11 matches (Robinson, ???)

Proud owner of a Morse fridge magnet.

You appear to be equating the League Cup with the Scottish Cup. Unfortunately for Raith, one Scottish Cup win is worth 100 League Cup wins. I don't make the rules; that's just how it is I'm afraid.

Any relation to Maxwell?

Someone reads P&B! Hi Alex, you fucking dick.

"Following in the footsteps of New York restaurant Balthazar, we to have decided to ban James Corden. He hasn’t done anything to upset us, we just don’t find him very funny."

I can't believe nobody has replied yet.

f**k me. Good luck to you, but I can't help thinking this is all a massive over-reaction to a poor run of form. Clyde have to stop losing sometime. Stay safe.

Someone who refers to themself as a "free thinker" which usually comes from someone who thinks absolute garbage.

*Cough* Hiya Glasgow, Hiya pals But I'm from miserable, mean, Tory Edinburgh so I would say that

saw the game against Falkrik last week and felt we competed very well; yesterday's was a really great result. Must admit I thought the core this group had been retained for maybe one year too many but they just keep proving people wrong. Huge expereince across the back in particular. I am too young to remember the mid 70s glory days or the Ian Stewart high of the mid 1980s (I started around the time of Rougvie & McLelland) so this is by far the best Montrose team of my lifetime. No reason why this group of boys and a couple of canny additions couldn;t perform creditably in the league above. To think of the pish we used to watch a few years ago, and how precarious our future, as well. Such a strong foundation has been built since then which is huge credit to everyone at the club.

That’s a first!

I couldn’t do it! I’ll fight.

Real Monterotondo Scalo 1-3 AS Angri 1927. Serie D Group G action today, which competes the six top tiers in Italy for me. €10 entry which was only a couple of Euros cheaper than the top end Serie B clash I saw yesterday but this was far more entertaining. I prefer small Italian towns to the cities and Monterotondo was a nice little trip away, about half an hour from Rome by train. It was a classic lower league clash: goals, red cards, hearty tackles, defensive clangers, misplaced passes, balls skyed out the stadium, a corner which trundled across the six yard box with zero takers, and barely a minute going by without someone rolling around on the Astroturf. The home side had a man sent off on twenty minutes at 1-0 down but the rest of the game was even and end to end until a second red was shown. Three injury time goals followed. The ref had a difficult game but handled it well, despite the accusations from the home fans of there being twelve Angri men. Probably about 1000 in attendance with roughly 120 away fans penned into a cage on the far side and six folk watching from their balconies. A good day out.

Aberdeen made hard work of it, considering they had 14 players on the park.

Deacon Blue - Dignity (Tis within the song)

Hammy's having a season to remember. Love his thundering tackles - only one winner there !!

I've found Jonathan Sutherland quite a good listen today, more opinionated and articulate than I'd given him credit for with abit of license to speak his mind.

I disagree totally on the WG issue - we have an experienced Asst Manager in Grant Murray who can take a significant degree of the day to day workload off Wullie's shoulders leaving him free to play as required. It is blatantly obvious to everyone that when he plays we invariably look a different team. If he was a marginal performer I could see the sense in him stepping back BUT nothing could be further from reality. Not only should he be the first name on our team sheet - he would be the first name on most Championship team sheets as well. I agree totally that the Board have taken bold decisions to keep us FT and they are to be commended for that. Running a FT football operation on our crowds is one of the most unenviable challenges I can think of especially with our geographical disadvantages. As I have said previously, I have no idea what the politics are behind the decision regarding WG but the rationale behind the decision needs to be communicated to the supporters because his continual omission just doesn't stack up. We are so devoid of quality on the pitch and despite being FT we repeatedly struggle to outperform very modest PT opposition. I haven't seen a standout team yet in this league. The fact that FCE are riding high in second place says all you need to know about the underlying quality in this division and we are making the challenge harder by not picking our best and most experienced player.
