I just randomly caught the last 5-10 minutes of Melbourne Victory vs Wellington (I think), anyone else see it? Decent scenes!

After him saying that, I assume that Bonner would want to capitalise on the SFA's 'mistake' and champion McLeish to get the Republic of Ireland job, or even the Celtic one? Bonner is so thick he actually might, I doubt it though. Bewildering doesn't even cover it.

Yeh, that's the guy. They did some sort of tribute to him, can't remember what exactly but think it was a limerick or Team of the Week.

"Fit like lads?"

I'll see your 'verge of tears' and raise you to 'seething mess'. Will also chuck in 'the absolute state of that'. Fucking hell, a journalist - at least I assume that's his job title - actually got that into a national newspaper.

Best kick-off time for us at a neutral venue in the cup that I can remember I think - which probably says more about the others we've had than anything. Still, could definitely get behind a sing-song of "f**k the SFA" from both sets of fans, for many obvious reasons. Buzzing, can't wait!

P&B bingo klaxon!

For some reason I'm picturing them both holding the pizza box with Connor Sammon's face in it instead of the awards. Memeception.

Well, I asked and have not been disappointed P&B faithful, give yourselves a round of applause. Some epic efforts there, some of which I have nicked and used, many thanks. Was there not a GIF of David Murray being chased up a road by Dave King in a car or something? Might be vice-versa, not sure. Might also be someone else involved, I only saw it once but I remember it was widely liked and my sides almost split when I encountered it. Apologies for not giving you all much to go on, I have faith though.

I have Charlie Christie's long-sleeved ICT shirt signed by the whole team back in the day which I wore when we won the Scottish Cup - and was also photographed in on the centre spread of the Inverness Courier that day, buckled and greeting like a wean with sheer joy, but that's another story - with autographs from legends like Mikey Teasdale and Jim Calder on it. I also have the Newcastle goalkeeper top with the multicolours and the silhouette of the bridge in the city, I'm a Toon fan as I was late getting into football - being fat and shit at kicking the ball, hence a goalkeeper - and my best pal at primary school supported them. Recently got a Mainz top on the cheap, my girlfriend at the time studied there and it was a great place, she lived in Grenoble too and although I don't have a shirt of theirs I have a flag she got me. I attended a game with her and her mates who had zero interest in football but humoured me - Sod's Law dictated that it was a dreadful, 0-0 affair in the pissing rain but I was able to decipher with my very limited French the Valenciennes fans singing a song about the familiar Jean-Claude Darcheville having a small cock. Being a 'keeper and loving Football Italia on a Saturday and Sunday when it was on Gianluigi Buffon has always been my favourite player so I have a couple of Parma tops, including this rather sexual piece of kit:

Bit harsh, Republic of Ireland have qualified for a World Cup and two Euros since 2000.

"Seek help."

Pretty much, aye. Was genuinely about to congratulate Celtic fans for being magnanimous in defeat - not something I would expect from either team in the game - and accepting that the better team won. Also note that I said "THE factor" rather than "A factor." I should probably have said "the overriding factor" if we're being semantic but to be honest I'm not sure having Neil Lennon in a balaclava with a load of semtex in his pocket and an Irish tricolour with "Up the 'Ra" printed on it draped around his shoulders refereeing the game would have made a difference with that performance.
