I , shock horror, have also lived in England and even know some English people . I'll tell you what comes from a place of total ignorance - this idea that all 'English' have a disdain for anything that isn't English. I would guess their view of Scottish football is based on the same two clubs being champions since 1985. I fail to see why you wouldn't hold that in disdain but it's not evidence of a little Englander mentality.

What, all of the English ? Every single one of them ? All have a disdain for anything not English ? Good God ! Thanks for alerting us.

I would rather he, or anyone, would tell the truth.

Yet both are simply cheerleaders. McIntyre parhaps more obviously and stupidly but Richard Gordon with his insistence that every bog standard tediously predictable premiership Saturday was 'fascinating' is equally myopic. A league that has been won by only two clubs since 1985 can be called many things but 'fascinating' is certainly not one of them. We should parhaps give Derek Adams the presenters gig !

Clearly you're not angry as you are that rarity - an intelligent, level headed, emotionally mature Celtic fan. But it's the red faced lunacy of the kind that spits venom at the board because he didn't receive the as per usual routine scudding of 'the diddies' which he believes his purchase of a season ticket entitled him to, which concerns us here.

Is Derek Adams seriously trying to tell us that the Scottish top flight is rubbish. ? Good for him because it is.

Just be patient FFS !!!!

Thick As Thieves

That's a relief.

So don't employ thick ex-pros.

What else are they supposed to be ? If the Celtic board are happy to be better than Rangers that's a sober assessment of the reality of modern European football. Aberdeen have as much chance of winning the Scottish title as Celtic have of being European contenders. Why throw millions at something which is unachievable ?

Alex Hamilton and Ian Ure 1963 ? And one for Tam Cowan... Motherwell had 3 players in the Scotland team at Wembley in 1961 !!!!

Not pish but close. Mid 2020 estimate: Paisley 77,270 ; EK 75,310. Step aside milltown we're coming through. !!!

Oh no you aren't.

Never been to Broughty. Went to Broughty Ferry assuming it was an east coast Gourock - Dunoon type thing but sadly no. Never been to St Andrews or indeed Fife.

George is getting angry now !!!!

Don't think so...I always took that to be the last Friday before Christmas. Called it Black Friday until a few years ago when that American post-thanksgiving sale thing of the same name was foisted on us by desperate retailers

I would contend the game has moved backwards, sadly. Certainly in Scotland. The only constant is Celtic fans moaning about referees when their beaten

Tam I'm sure is a good and generous guy. That though is irrelevant to whether or not he is a good broadcaster. And as he co-hosts a radio show where his appointed role appears to be that of 'funny man', then what people think of his 'sense of humour' is more important than how much money he may donate, however worthy the cause.

Those of us unfortunate enough to reside in the land of Celtic, Rangers, Radio Clyde Super scoreboard, secterian marches and newsreaders who pronounce December like it has a 'Z' in it, have a lot to be jealous about.

Whenever this topic comes up special mention must be made of the wonderful Aberdeen 1970 side. Won at Parkhead twice (April & December). Won at Ibrox (October) and won at Hampden (April) , swatting aside Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final. And remember this was when Celtic were light years ahead in quality of any Celtic side of the last 40 years.

This exactly.....

A more pertinent question is why on earth would any adult who condemns bigotry support Glasgow Rangers or Glasgow Celtic ? The vile idiotic element don't attach themselves to these clubs by accident. Their support has been encouraged at Ibrox and Parkhead as a business model for over a century. Rangers & Celtic have neither the will or the wisdom to rid themselves of the stain of bigotry. It's up to those who despise that bigotry to rid themselves of Rangers & Celtic.

"Stop The Boats"

According to The Daily Mail it counts as a gift for us.
