Brewdog Punk IPA. It's not cheap but it's rather pleasant.

Love that top. Genuinely.
Still have mine.
I hated the checkerboard shirt at the time but I think it's actually quite smart. It was a ridiculous idea for the home shirt but I don't think anyone would have objected to it being used as an away or 3rd option.

Would be a shame if the Hummell white top gets the nod considering the home version was the choice last time. I wouldn't have even had it as an option for this set of votes to be honest.
Pinstripes!
I'd have left it out too but I suppose the club are only interested in which one sells the most. That one has always been popular amongst fans.

We've signed ex-Bairn Chris Mitchell - was he any good when he was with you?
He's the worst full back we've ever had.
Edit: and he's a complete p***k to boot.

What's Langlees in Falkirk like these days? That used to be well shady, same with Hallglen
Every time I've driven through places like Plean and Harthill it always seem to pishing with rain and there's an Orange Walk on
They Council has spent millions knocking down the flats at Inver and Birnam court and replacing them withe modern terraced housing. They've punted a lot of the undesirables down to Grangemouth and theyve moved low income working families into the new houses which has improved the area.

I don't think there are too many candidates from the Highlands for this thread, there are plenty of bland towns and villages, but nowhere truly abhorrent
South Kessock (The Ferry) in Inverness is pretty grim, although it is in a fantastic location next to the River Ness, Caledonian Canal and Beauly Firth. Hilton and Dalneigh in Inverness are a bit shite as well, but nowhere near as awful as the Ferry.
Outwith Inverness, the Milnafua area of Alness has a reputation for being a shithole. I have never been as far North as Wick or Thurso, so there are possibly some shit places up that way?
Fort William is a shithole. It's Grangemouth with a better view.

Has anyone else mentioned Skinflats yet? Ugly little collection of council houses on a floodplain with view of Grangemouth to the southeast and Longannet to the northeast.
Even the name makes it sound like a scab on the arse of Scotland.
Falkirk's former goalkeeper - Darren Hill - injured himself jumping through a plate glass door in Skinflats whilst off his head on a combination of Alcohol, Cocaine and prescription painkillers.

This is a good interactive map which highlights the areas of deprivation by postcode / district.

Grangemouth isn't even one of the worst places in the Falkirk area, far less one of the worst in Scotland. Like most towns, there are good and bad areas, fortunately I live in the good area.
The smell isn't always there, either that or you must get used and I'm rarely in the town on a Saturday, but can imagine it being quiet. 24 hour ASDA is where it's at.
Unless there's no breeze (whiche doesn't happen very often) most of the reek from Grangemouth ends up elsewhere.

There's only one brewery left in Alloa nowadays. Which is the Williams Bros brewery down Kelliebank industrial estate.
Joker IPA is magic.

The bottom end is a shite hole. The council are doing up all the houses but to use the old saying "you can put glitter on a shite but it's still a shite" springs to mind. Apart from the bottom end the rest of Alloa is ok. Think it's mainly down to the amount of commuters who have moved into the area due to all the new houses being built in the area. It's a lot nicer around here compared to 10/15 years ago.
The rugby club is also down the bottom end and it can be fun trying to put up with the bottom enders. Last week at training we had a wee guy around 14/15 come running over with a bit of wood and skelped one of the under-18s with it. The lad who got skelped got up and kicked the wee fuds face in and then as we were finishing training 3 cop cars turned up to lift him. At the time the majority of us didn't know what was going on as we didn't see the incident as we were the other end of the pitch.
Also last week we went for a run from the rugby club up to the west end park to do some sprints/interval training and as we were running back to the club we are going through one of the schemes and a couple of lads started getting cheeky to a couple of the younger lads who were out in front. It was quite funny when me and another big lad went past and challenged them. The wee c***s shat themselves.
Agree with you on rosyth as well. Depressing shitehole but close to home so good to be based there.
Is Devon Road the dodgy part? I cycle along that road when I'm doing the circular ride from Falkirk to Strling. Every time I do it I always see a dismantled car in a front garden, at least 1 junky and someone wandering about with a carry-out.

I wonder if DHL is delivering cheques on their late run this evening?

Or is he jumping before he is pushed? We must remember that McCoist is an attrocious manager and woeful tactician and I'm sure that Green and his chums mujst see that.

Their is an open letter on Follow Follow to the rest of Scottish football...It is a kind of apology from the whole Rangers support and has been backed by nearly all on there...Last i looked it was 4 pages of posters in total agreement with the OP.
How can it be an open letter when only the narrow minded can actually view the forum?

It was a blue version of this one. If I'd known that I could have sold it for £250 20 years later I would have held onto it.

Probably ?????
Make that definitely
True, very true!

In fairness the boy probably can't see past British Knights or Troop!
I actually used to wear a silk Troop tracksuit together with white BK basketball boots. I thought that look was cool in 1989 but with the benefit of hindsight I probably looked like a complete fud.

Mention Rangers in England and it's QPR that springs to mind, although some blue bigots on here fail to believe that as they once went on holiday in England.
I was at a Sunderland game a few weeks ago and the only Scottish result which was read out at half time was the Berwick Rangers one.

There are some absolute zoomers on Rangers Media.
I'm up for going to war right now! Cannot express in work how angry I feel! No fucking surrender! With a rifle or a pistol in my hand!If 50 of us could get tickets for the game , at diffrent entrances , we could handcuff ourselves to the turnstiles in a silent protest.
Like the suffragettes did trying to get votes for women
I'm getting the impression that they're not overly enamoured with the decision

They obviously don't know that quality is better than quantity.

There's been a major bust up between Pressley and Smith. He'll never kick another ball for us.
