I'm not responsible for the actions of others. Accept it.
All Old Firms fan guilty by association. You don't like sectarianism ? Don't support football clubs that profit and thrive from it. It really is that simple .

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.
In what sense is he wrong ? Anyone who loves the Scottish national teams and wants them to win and who isn't overwhelmed by fatalism really hasn't been paying attention.

Nonsense. In Scotland it's literally just saying the word.
fit= foot, ba'= ball
fitba' = football
'Footy' on the other hand is an utter abomination of a lazy slang term.
'Fitba' is a McGlashenesque affectation which basically says 'I am Scottier than thou' . The equivalent of calling 'windows' 'windies' ...

Scots who call football 'fitba' are our equivalent of those English people who call football 'footy'.

Why would Aberdeen want to be utterly humiliated in Europe ?

Edward James Olmos is magnificent. Fantastic of course as Adama but I think his Detective Lieutenant Castillo not coming close to breaking into a smile once in Miami Vice shades it......

Or £10m plus Mikey Johnston.
Is it true that Celtic give some of their players 'Green Brigade Names' in a similar vein to 'Confirmation Names' ? I heard that 'Mikey Johnston' was actually born 'Robert Talbot' but had a name that slightly echoed Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone foisted upon him by Peter Lawwell. Sounds unlikely if not utterly false but they are a club like no other so maybe, just maybe.

I agree. I definitely think if you put Steve Clarke (for example) in charge of Aberdeen for 5 years with their current budget he would split the OF at least once. Could possibly even win a title.
Guardiola & Klopp working together couldn't win the title in Scotland for a non Old Firm club. And that is far more of an issue and concern than who the next manager of Aberdeen may be.

Anything that leads to fines for lazy arsed parents abandoning their cars around primary schools for an hour each day is fine by me.
If you have to drive your child to school in a car you should have it (and the car) taken off you

First nice night in a wee while so went for a post work walk along the North shore in Troon, cracking sunset and still a fair bit of light in the sky when I got back home at 5.20. We are getting there.
Getting where ? Unable to sleep cos it's still light at 11pm and light again at 4am ? Not for me, Clive.

Let’s not forget Hansen, Dalglish, Leighton, McLeish, Miller, Burley, Frank Gray all won major European trophies.
Joe Jordan was a runner up in EC and ECWC with Leeds as was Frank Gray.
Easier to list players who never got to a major European final.
I would say those who never made it to a European club final from the Scotland WC 1982 squad were
George Wood, Alan Rough, Asa Hartford, Danny McGrain and Davie Provan.
Incredible when you think about it.
Arguably our greatest ever World Cup squad?

And we still couldn't get out of the group. Though I would suggest that man for man the squad that didn't even qualify for '66 was superior.

I was there and I recall a stunned, sullen silence. And the walk back down to the port area where there were dozens of coaches which had brought many Scots fans to Genoa was accompanied by a single drumbeat, which made it feel like Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.
Jock Stein's retreat from Milan.

Canadians and Americans are North American in the same way as Italians and Germans are European, surely?

Mack-ay (Mackay), most obviously featured in South Park.
I have to grit my teeth every time I go to Halifax in Nova Scotia (aye, Canada, I know) where they say 'Mah-kay' rather than 'Mack-eye' for their MacKay Bridge.
Pedentary I know but Canadians(and indeed Mexicans) are as American as people in the United States in the same way that Italians are as European as Germans. America is two continents not one country. But certainly Nova Scotians should know how to pronounce Mackay.

‘Mirror’ as ‘meer’ is the one that always jars me when my kid says it.
For years my favourite line from Bob Dylan's 'Visions of Johanna' was, "She's delicate and seems like Vermeer", which I still think is a much better image than "seems like the mirror".

Just minded this one.
I met the guy who photographed the iconic Beatles Abbey Road LP cover. Sadly it was in Roxburgh House hospice in Dundee. He was a lovely guy.
The reason Paul was in bare feet was that it was roasting hot that day.
So there you go.
Yes but he was out of step because he had been decapitated in a car crash three years earlier.
So there you go.

The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted
The ghost of Hugh McIlvanney would like a word, and wasn't that a Frank Zappa quote directed at 'music journalists' ? Does fit perfectly with Scottish football 'journalism' mind you .
