Bad Wolf

Very noble of Tom there, does he ever bring this up when live on the BBC? I doubt it somehow.

It's a better look than celebrating the deaths of innocent people that have actually happened.

I just looked up Jimmy Thelin on Wiki, and it says this - "He will take over as manager of Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen in March 2024." Which I presume is just someone being a bit naughty.

Especially Killie fans. It's heartwarming.

He's on the trail of sheep rustlers. PC Irons, like all D&G polis, never sleeps.

I can't bear to listen to football managers (even those who aren't subliterate, shite or both) speak but a transcription of Brenda's whining would be lovely.

Oh dear, how sad. I also worry about those evil *** seats getting broken though. On the really important issue raised by this thread, yes Anti-Pasti were total garbage, aside from the tremendous No Government. My official "Maggie throws a 7 day" tune of choice.

I tried Kerrydale Bleat (as I have now christened it) yesterday and was disappointed. Much use of the word "shampoo" and accusing their own board of being closet ****, but nothing truly LOLworthy.

Killie going PT was just before my time but it seemed like a mistake, and one which took two decades to recover from. Is most posters' biggest reservation the geographical one ie not having access to the pool of PT players in the central belt? Could a case not be made for being the biggest PT club in an area covering, say, D&G, Borders, Cumbria and Northumbria potentially having a pool of decent PT players; with Queens league status being more appealing than that of the likes of Gateshead, Spennymoor, South Shields, even if the crowds (and possibly the wages on offer) are roughly comparable. I dunno, it seems conceivable though. Being the smallest FT club in Scotland doesn't seem to be working right now, for sure.

I would have put you at No.3 given the option, but may not have admitted to it here as you probably don't want to be patronised by Killie fans!

I disagree. Like the rest of the "Scottish" sporting media they're cowards and enablers of bigotry.

Apparently, we played really well in the first half, but he preferred to focus on the negatives. It's "fatalism", a forelock-tugging lack of belief in our own ability to achieve anything that has held Scotland back for decades, and not just in sport. But that's the preferred narrative, which wankers like him stick to, especially when they're being paid to do so. I tried to make my above post strictly about sport, but frankly it isn't, so I shouldn't have. That article is entirely in keeping with everything that BBC Scotland vomits forth. The phrase "these people" sticks in my throat too, particularly when used by someone from the failed statelet.

I'm only here for the lulz, as the young folks may or may not say anymore. I feel exactly the same about the Talbot thread.

I found his report on the Scotland rugby match at the weekend entirely in keeping with his football reporting. It pretty much amounts to us being too wee, too poor and too stupid to play rugby properly. Which certainly helps to explain why he continues to be employed by BBC/Radio Scotland. I found this - "Fatalism is bred into these people at birth." - particularly obnoxious. An absolute tool.

I'm glad to see someone else gets it. IMO words can change in meaning over the years, so to me *** is no more and no less a sectarian slur than ***, as that is evidently the intent in it's usage. As someone who was bullied at primary school in Kilwinning (which is richly deserving of it's reputation) for being insufficiently anti-Catholic, I find being called a *** by one (or more likely, several thousand) of your fellow Celtic fans deeply offensive. This in no way makes me one of the other lot.

As a Killie fan who really, really wants us (as per Celtic fans exhortations to diddy clubs) to finish fourth I have to say "beep off Colin!". But otherwise this seems like a sensible appointment.

I'm a Killie fan who goes to the occasional Queens game with my mate, and I was quite impressed by the young lads behind the goal at the Annan game a few weeks ago (first game this season), who seemed both as plentiful and as enthusiastic as in previous years. Drums and not terribly original songs may not be everyone's cup of tea, but surely it's a good thing that kids and teenagers are still interested. I enjoyed the game too, although it wasn't of the highest quality, to say the least.

Tbf to the thick, bigoted, flag-shagging c*nts, just this once, we wouldn't expect anything else. It's consistent if nothing else.

I generally enjoy rhetorical questions, but not in this instance.

Good point. I just had a look at this season's crowds in Germany and Scotland - we have 26 clubs with four figure crowds, Germany has 94 (a good few of which are reserve sides). My mathematical illteracy prevents me from a more rigorous analysis; but our population is 1/17th of theirs. So I think we're doing pretty well.

Even after more than four years living in southern teuchterland aka D&G, I still can't get used to road signs for The North, meaning Glasgow and Edinburgh.

While I don't see a down side to Greg's signing, I am less convinced than others that DM will use him correctly. I do hope I'm wrong, of course.

I watched the first one a few years ago, it was strangely fascinating. As was (I kid you not!) the video on the opening of the charming Foregate centre in 1976.

I voted for McInnes, perhaps predictably, but I have high hopes for Lampard. I think he's a realistic-ish candidate, and would of course be a bin fire.

"Always a fraud, never a Ger". Hmm, that sounds strangely familiar...
