McManaman is the thickest guy going.. Complains about VAR for a decision the ref gave in real time.

Dundee V Aberdeen
Jim McLean's Ghost replied to johnnydun's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
It is the corner between the away stand and the Derry. Huge puddles on the opening day. That is at the top of a decently big hill, should have been easy to dig in a new drain but obviously Dundee didn't bother their arse and now any decent rainfall will put that corner underwater and the game in danger -
The Very Meh Humza Yousaf Thread.

This is across the UK, although some hospitality issues are more acute in rural Scotland which relied on EU workers coming over and living on site. Employers essentially collecting back a lot of the pay in rent and rates. Obviously locals generally have their own places to stay. 31% of kids in England live in poverty, 29% in Wales, 24% in Northern Ireland. Birmingham, the second largest city in the UK has a council is essentially bust. Railways in Britain are a fucking shambles. Drug and alcohol continues to be a shameful part of scottish society with a high death rate. MUP and safe consumption rooms are policies that are meant to help put it is mostly papering over the cracks. Britain is going down the pan. Yoons regularly bring up metrics to slam the Scottish govt like the Poverty Attainment Gap In Scotland the gap has closed a little in the past 20 years, in England it hasn't moved. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/aug/16/no-improvement-in-school-attainment-gap-in-england-for-20-years-report-says -
Everton picked the right season for the 10 point deduction. they are not total shit and there are 3 teams that are clearly not operating on the same level as other clubs.

Killie v Celtic

Saw Belle and Sebastian at Paisley Town Hall last night. Playing a mix from everything so with the huge discography you are never sure what you are going to get. It was filmed so it will be on the telly? at some point I guess. Obviously they played Boy with the Arab Strap. Finished with Lazy Line Painter Jane. The crowd wasn't exactly bouncing but it was a good atmosphere. Paisley Town Hall is a smart venue, clearly an upgrade over Motherwell Civic Centre which imo would have been cavernous. Much nicer building in Paisley too. Just newly renovated. Bar queue moved quickly too.

Bair lacks any real quality but makes up for it with effort. Obika moved quickest when he got hooked. Mika is obviously out best forward but out of all the others for me Bair is the guy I want on the park. Gent was fine defensively today and was a decent threat going forward. Spencer was theoretically good if he was on his good foot, in practice he hasn't been much better than O'Donnell at RWB The mental weakness in Scottish football is the only thing keeping us afloat. County, Dundee and St Johnstone have all crumbled in injury time at fir park. Killie too but they were going for the win too rather than just defending a league I guess even Celtic collapsed twice, even if they got a winner

Stenhousemuir is the most boring club in Scotland. Kind of just there. Swap between the 3rd and 4th tier every now and then. Over 50 years since anything of interest happened to them and that was nearly getting kicked out the league for being boring. i bet not one person even thought about Stenhousemuir before I mentioned them,
