The SPFL's youtube channel has been streaming a Rangers/Livingston match from 2002 for the past five days.

Have Livingston scored yet?

BBC home page on the app: not a single mention or link to Scottish football.

What?

Not even women's football? 

I for one; am shocked.

Someone at the BBC can't count.

Former Hearts player and manager Jim Jefferies is recovering after suffering a heart attack.

The 68-year-old took unwell while playing golf on Monday morning and was taken to hospital.

In 1998 he led Hearts to their first Scottish Cup triumph in 32 years, defeating Rangers 2-1 at Celtic Park.

It can't be said enough - Keith Jackson is an utter c**t.

You are 100% correct, it really cannot be said enough.

Keith Jackson is an utter c**t.

[Ken Fitlike]

Is this the right place to confirm that Keith Jackson is an utter c**t?

[kennysmassiveego]

See that Keith Jackson ....I’ve heard he’s a c**t ....is that right ? 

[Savage Henry]

Well, I don’t know but I’ve been told that the kind of person who tells a reporter and photographer to tell Michael Mols about his friend’s death and then photograph his reaction and report it as news, is indeed a c**t.

 

Also making a c**t a c**t would be to publicly denounce a rival newspaper for doing something similar to Ben Stokes’ mother, or to Gareth Thomas’s parents while then proceeding to do that in an airport.

 

Edit: just noticed that the topic of the essential Fergie-Time podcast is the abuse dealt out to players from fans. Nothing in it all about how those fans are empowered by cretinous red tops, I assume.

Bit unfair, I've dished out verbal abuse to loads of players and was in no way empowered by shitrags that I never read.

Whilst i truly abhor the use of the "c" word in any connotation, i willingly step back from my moral safety net to accept that, when the subject matter is Keith "i've fun' a billionaire fur ra reggers" Jackson, others may correctly use this descriptive.

Let it go, embrace the word. There really isn’t any words in the English language better to express that strength of feeling.

Not for me mate.  Although, as a democratic person, i uphold the right of others to use it as they see fit.

Notwithstanding the above, Keith Jackson is a "c"

No. He's an utter c**t

Is there any conceivable universe where he isn't one?

Journalist of the year 6 years in a row....

So I’d say the universe of the Scottish/weegie press.

[The Minertaur]

Nobody would listen to any of these podcasts so I thought I'd highlight some of the descriptions.  There's only been 4 episodes but here are two - 

Any guesses what Barry put in Archie Knox's tea?  Cola? Rice krispies? Barry has a favourite seat but what else does he have? A favourite car parking space? A favourite roundabout?

Are people seriously being invited, on a voluntary basis, to listen to Barry Ferguson and Keith Jackson talking?

I can think of few noises I'd like listening to less.  The cries of loved ones enduring torture perhaps?  Still not sure.
