This Christmas Day fixture stuff is really boring lads. Let's get this thread back on track and go back to discussing how fucking stupid the football writers are in this country. And how most of them are raging ****.
Agreed - I'll kick things off with something that was posted in the League 2 forum re Colt teams -
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/malky-mackay-must-backed-pushing-9493304
Highlights include -
- What on earth is a Jack Aitchison or a Liam Burt going to learn from playing Selkirk or Civil Service Strollers every week?
- And if it doesn’t happen, Rangers and Celtic should tell them to stuff the Lowland League, pull their Development Squads out of the Under-20 League and set up their own tournaments against the likes of Manchester United and City, PSG and Bayern Munich, where their kids will be pitting their wits against the cream of Europe’s young talent.
We want in the lower leagues in Scotland but if we are rejected we'll just set up our own league with all the big teams across Europe

Not an annoying thing someone posted, but an annoying thing facebook itself did. I was just dropping off to sleep last night about 12:10 when my phone went with a facebook notification. Upon checking it, the notification said "John Smith just posted for the first time in a while".
Dafuq? When did it start notifying you of this pish?
When Obergruppenfuhrer Smith posts the whole world needs to know.

"The Sesh"
14 Dec - "I would hereby like to announce to facebook that after some serious thought i have decided to retire from the sesh. We've had a good run but this time is now right to hang up my glowsticks and behave myself. Its with huge sadness that I share this with you all."
18 Dec - "wee bevvie at the aunties"
So is bevvie and the sesh two totally different things or is this guy just a total moron? One greenie to the first person to correctly identify the football team he supports...

Enjoyed the first episode. Forgot quite how much had happened in the finale of series 1!

Utterly pathetic and lazy appointment. Are we still sticking with the must be Scottish policy? Why not somebody with a fresh outlook who can generate new ideas and start from scratch? We'll never improve as a nation if we don't try and learn from others.
When McClair left Stewart Regan said the role "requires a different style of leadership and focus".
Fair do's - they've certainly found somebody with a different style of leadership and a unique focus.

The Ebay advert with the dad and son getting up in the morning. Specifically the shitty song played at the end.
Shite advert. Is that meant to be their house?

Just changed my profile picture to a llama because I lost the challenge. Solve this riddle. If you're wrong, you're committing to put a picture of llama as your profile picture for a whole day!
Answer me in pm so that others do not see the answer and can participate...It is 3 in the morning, you're sleeping and you hear the doorbell. It's your parents who show up for a surprise visit for breakfast. You've got the strawberry jam, honey, bread and cheese. What do you open first?
Don't forget, answer me by private message, don't put comments. If you answer correctly I'd put your name in comment. If you're wrong you have to put a photo of llama as your profile picture!!
Worringly people have commented on it and have actually changed their picture to a llama.

Loving some people moaning about the Aberdeen match last night. One person says :
"you knew there was a problem with it but went ahead anyway that's a poor call like"
Aye the lights had been on for a few hours beforehand with no issues. Let's postpone the match before kick off because there's a chance there might be a power cut.

This story has the lot.
That has to be a parody. Surely? Why the hell did she keep walking towards a country road with no lights instead of just...um...calling the police/taxi/anyofherfuckingfriends?

"I'm looking for *name*. Can you tag him/her for me" memes.
f**k off.
Came on to post the same thing. Thankfully my name hasn't made the meme community yet so I should be safe!
There's also "I'm looking for my boyfriend - please tag him!". Do people not have lives? Have people really nothing better to do than posting crap on the internet?
Oh....

Currently there's outrage that Fisher Price are doing a Happy Hour Playset (Spoiler alert - they aren't). Some of the comments are fantastic -

Elsewhere in childish culinary distress: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/268815/mums-fury-at-1-bag-of-tesco-alphabet-potato-shapes-lacking-enough-letters-to-spell-her-sons-name/
Nichola was so furious she posted a complaint on Tesco’s Facebook page along with pictures of the letters spelling out ‘ICGAN’.
She wrote: “My son is 4 and learning his letters, I wanted to spell his name, to my shock there wasn’t any Ls or Os but a lot of the repeated letters.
“In the end I improvised by using and I as a L a C as a’O so spelled icgan which obviously wasn’t his name.. he noticed this straight away and I had to explain why. Very disappointed.”
Nichola bought the 500g bag of Crispy Potato Letters from her local Tesco in Dunstable, Bedfordshire.
The mum-of-two, who also has a 14-month-old son Miller, served them up for Logan with chicken nuggets and baked beans.
She said: “It is misleading, why would you sell them as alpha-bites, really they should just be called ‘certain letter bites’.
“It was just lots of repeated letters, a lot of Y’s and a lot of J’s. I had to improvise, which wasn’t really nice.
“When Logan comes home from school he’s always practising his letters.
“So I thought I’d buy some alpha bites and then hopefully we could go through it at the dinner table.
“I thought that’s what most parents do, make it like a fun-time dinner.“Obviously the person who made these from Tesco can’t have children.
“If you buy them you expect all the letters to be there, that’s why I emptied them all out.
“Apparently it does say on the packet that not all of the letters are in there, but again I don’t see the point in that.”
I was sitting laughing at this yesterday. Some of the comments were fantastic about how she could have used other letters to spell Logan - cut part of the Q off for example.

Rangers fan on mine said last night -
"Still Rangers till the end. Bring on the Sheep!!"
What's the need in the first part? As if still being a Rangers fan after a defeat is some sort of achievement. Glory hunting sod! I've seen Cowden lose 10-0 to Hearts and didn't immediately thing that I need to highlight how good a fan I am by stating that I will continue to support my shit club.

Somebody just posted a pile of screenshots of a dog texting it's owner. Normally I'd find this shite annoying but I've been sitting chuckling at this for the last 15 minutes...

Seen comments here and elsewhere on social media slating this move as a slap in the face to Scottish football. I'm not sure how so. If MK Dons were based in Scotland, all else being equal they would be the 4th or 5th biggest team.
Anyway, it's a step down at the moment but has a lot of upside potential. I can see why he has taken it, especially when he is not that popular with the Hearts fans. Personally, I hope they go bankrupt.
Happens every time somebody leaves a job in Scotland to a lower league in England. WHY WOULD HE DO THIS? More money and more potential to move up (or down!).
Not that I feel sorry for the MK Dons fans but they've went from thinking they might end up with former England internationalist Steven Gerrard as manager to a player whose greatest playing achievement was beating Gretna on penalties in the Scottish Cup final!

It's worth it, I promise. There are some points where it gets a bit shit, but then someone will come up with some screenshot that just brings it all to life again. Genuinely terrific/horrific reading at the same time.
It's scary stuff so far.
Glad that my Twitter and Facebook are private after I was bombarded with abuse after I dare commented on Rangers being a new team a few years ago. Amazing what some people will do.
