Sam Matterface is fucking abysmal. Pure under-17s World Cup on Eurosport commentator.

Why the f**k are the commentators banging on about goal scoring opportunity and not the fact he’s fucking leathered him.

Had forgotten about Gordon’s ‘get that fucking hing away from me’ approach whenever it’s played back to him.

There’s a man who knows a thing or two about putting the ball in the net!

Couple of clumsy moments from Hendry so far.

Hickey seems to have filled out after a couple of months on the Barclays juice

Mudryk is a different level.

Lettering/numbers on the home kit is huge, like the 2000s SPL template.

Different level that. Made that look ridiculously easy. The whole Vinicius situation has added a bit extra to the game and it's near enough a certainty that it'll boil over at some point.

Aye that was it - unglamorous SPFL player signed as a bit of a back up. Was up against it in terms of having the fans on side (which he was well aware of apparently) but he's really earned his place over the last year which says a lot about him.

Taylor was the weak link a wee while ago, and you can still see teams blatantly targeting his side but his improvement in the last year or so has been ridiculous. Very comfortable with him there.

Probably a bit of realism required in terms of both players and managers swapping us for Premier League sides. It isn't the 2000s anymore and the PL isn't some overhyped facade anymore - it's where folk want to be and is the best league in the world in terms of opportunity and earning potential. Ange is 57 and no doubt wants to go as high as he can - if a decent club came in for him (Brighton in their current position would probably be one of them) you'd imagine he'd at least give it a bit of thought. That said i'm certain he wouldn't leave right now as the squad he has built is probably close to it's peak and we've just started our CL campaign - something that has by all accounts been a lifelong goal for Ange, but you never know - he left his previous club mid-season to grasp a better opportunity. So aye, i'm not worried about him leaving just yet, but i think parts of our support scoffing/laughing and immediately dismissing interest from so-called smaller Premier League clubs (in favour of staying to win trophies and play a few games in Europe etc) probably speaks to a slightly outdated view of where we are in the food chain.

David Jason's recount of her jovial sense of humour a wee while ago didn't do her many favours.

Geniuinely - what is disrespectful about watching or playing sport? The country is virtually carrying on as normal work-wise. Shops, pubs, theatres, restaurants etc are all operating. Games were played when the last King snuffed it, and contrary to popular belief loads of games were played in the aftermath of Diana's death - which occurred in an infinitely more shocking, world-stopping manner (for some).

He's famously thick as f**k isn't he? Look forward to his first gaffe, although i suspect he'll have a team of advisors pulling their hair our every day to prevent that from happening.

Confusing day for the free speech grifters.

Judging by this and the reply from Talksport, he'll be out of a job when he checks his messages.

A touching tribute from, eh - The British Kebab Awards.

You know it's serious when they bring the big guns out.

Quite fascinating this, the next fortnight or so will be bonkers.

Rolling news is the pits. 7 hours of absolutely nothing. She's comfortable. She's at Balmoral, where she goes in the summer. It's 45 minutes from Aberdeen airport.

What's with the constant steam of cars coming in and out of Balmoral for the last hour or so, staff getting a half day?

Royal correspondents are fucking hilarious. They know absolutely nothing and are just saying random words to fill time. That basically.

Not sure if you've picked it up from an aggregator site or whatever, but the quote you posted wasn't the headline. The actual headline was bad enough but that version is stretching it a bit. All fairly meaningless semantics of course but interesting how a few words can make an interview - where he mostly talks about being taught a lesson by better players - seem like he's doing the 'awk aye but the atmosphere eh' thing.
