Why let those No-voting, ITV Border watching bumpkins have the fun? Slap-bang in the middle of George Square, the size of the Stalingrad victory monument thank you very much.

Quite deceptive really though, I read a book about that and it wasnae won by lassies in a sarong wi their baps out wielding a sword, even giant ones.

An iconic picture, but a case of the picture not telling the whole story.

Awkward moment on Kay Burley's show there as she interviewed some former England player (who I'd never heard of - Paul Smith or something) who she introduced as someone who "knew Maradona" :

"Did you ever play with or against him?"

"No"

"Did you know him outside of football?"

"No"

"Where did you meet him?"

"I was on the touchline a few times"

Excellent.

The bitterness towards him down here is still very strong.

Glorious.

I loved this.

Remember being quite annoyed that Butcher had brought his bitterness from England to a Scotland press conference, so the slap down from Diego was fantastic.

Please tell me this was a genuine quote from the great man, so I can print this and pop it on the wall at work.

Its like a movie with words

Peter Shilton’s article in the Daily Mail does just show him up as the absolute fanny that he is. He was outjumped by a wee man and essentially cannae take it. This singular event sent him in a spiral of xenophobia whereby he became the tory brexiteer that he is today. This very moment ruined shilton. If you look at pictures of the goal you can pin point the exact moment he died inside, its glorious.

It's brilliant. I love that they still haven't realised he never gave a shiny shite how upset they are about it.

Whenever Peter Shilton dies every obituary will have several paragraphs about him being outwitted by Maradona and he knows it.

My early prediction is "the could-have-been World Cup winner that had the trophy stolen from his hands by the hand of Maradona"

[Newbornbairn]

Héctor Enrique, who tapped it to Maradona in his own half and got the assist for the goal of the century, has one of the best lines in football history: “With a pass like that, how could he miss?”
