The Other Foot

I really don’t get Old Firm fans’ steadfast refusal to accept criticism of their clubs. I am an avid believer in criticising your own club, and indeed, probably hate Hibs more than any other entity on the planet. Still support them though, because I am a complete idiot.

On a related note, has anyone seen Starlink in the night sky? Just saw it while on holiday and legitimately thought Putin had gone full tonto

Just read ‘The Breaks of the Game’ by David Halberstam. It’s just about one season in the history of the Blazers, but it’s far more expansive than that and got me hooked on basketball. I still don’t understand all the rules, but the book helps you understand the back stories and passion and artistry of the game

Is there any chance whatsoever that, if @virginton had been around during WWII, he wouldn’t have been a brown shirt?

Indeed. Not sure why more folk aren’t talking about it in Scotland; plenty of folk over here have linked him with Hibs

What. A load. Of shite.

Never mind the ‘Saudi sports-washing machine clouding people’s judgement”. It’s clear on this thread that the @WATTOO greeny brigade has forgotten he’s a big fan of sexual violence.

He’s now refusing to tell Rovers if he will still be with them when the season ends

To be fair, there's an argument to be made for the UK owning the Irish a shit-ton in reparations. Except... Ireland is loaded right now, and the UK is hurtling towards destitution. So we'll forgive and forget, for now.

My uneducated, old-man take on the singing: Isn’t it nice without drums and flags and flares? Unadulterated, unforced. The videos remind me of the old East

If there's one positive to come out of tonight, it's this. I might buy myself one of those away tops. Lovely stuff.

I'm the most disgustingly liberal, painfully open-minded, wishy washy Guardian reader you'll see this side of Islington, but... Reparations can't work. I mean, the UK could feasibly give money to try and make up for the horrors of slavery. But a) it wouldn't do any good. And b) the logic implies that whoever we give the money to will then have to give it to the people who they enslaved previously. And within this lies the question - how do we define the groups who were enslaved, and do they still relate to those who were originally persecuted against? For example. If we give £1b to Mali as reparation, to what extent is the current benefactor (the Government of Mali) responsible for making reparations to the peoples of neighbouring countries for the enslavement of their people during the reign of the Malian Empire? Despite the Malian empire having once extended into these countries. It's a fucking mess, is what it is.

f**k me, Rangers are brutal. Second spot up for grabs this season boys. I mean, not for my team. Though it WOULD be fantastic for us to do so with Neil Lennon at the helm

@WATTOO's just been seen turning up to Rubiales' house in his dressing gown, wielding some chicken, some tinnies and a fishing rod.

@VincentGuerin, meet the resident St Johnstone fans. St Johnstone fans, meet Vincent.

Lads. He’s got mental health issues. Not a reason to refuse him employment.

While The Grapes is quite rightly being described as a Shithole, at least it's no longer a dangerous shithole. When I was younger, you couldn't walk past without witnessing the full-throttle paggerings. Whereas last time I was in Edinburgh, I went past on the bus and spotted two - yes, two - mobility scooters parked outside.

Well if you insist on punching dogs on the back of the head, you deserve all the striking that Scott Brown can throw at you m8.

I’m not sure if I’m just the exact opposite of the average poster on .net, but it feels I’m the outlier when I say I’m salivating at the prospect of a Lennon/Broony double act. Salivating.

Sure about that?

Let's hope so.

I feel like my sarcasm hasn't come through the post adequately on this occasion. The joke being that our previous managers have been so useless that it seems they don't like winning. HAHAHAHAHAH! GOOD ONE THE OTHER FOOT

I'd love Lennon back. He's one of those football managers who likes winning. I'm not sure Hibs have had many of those recently.
