I'd like to give a special mention to Jamsie the roofer who, I believe, was the person who cracked the 'tolerate' gag during the week in work, I'd also like to apologise to anyone who feels duped into believing that I had anything to do with said gag. I my defence I never said or implied I came up with it but sorry for the confusion.
Edit -I'm not on twitter
It was Jamsie that tweeted me. He'll be happy now.

'If you Toral 8 this, then your children will be next'.
When copying anything from twitter the honourable thing is to credit the original rather than try and pass it off as your own.

I can understand being concerned about the English opinion from a sponsorship or player recruitment viewpoint but not to the extent that it appears to be the driving force for all we do. Swello's UEFA Report thread shows how wrong this approach is.
As an inhabitant of Englandshire for a few years now I've found that the vast majority of the locals think fondly of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. There is a bit of patronising at times but I've rarely experienced any serious anti-Jockness. They tend to look outwards and generally see their rivals as the bigger countries in most things, the main sporting exception being New Zealand at rugby. I think they look on us a bit like a younger brother which is an attitude we return as we seem to always look to them for their approval.
Anyway, even if the English did look down on us as because we're smaller I'd say it was just human nature. Look how the bigots look down on everyone else because they're smaller or the bigger diddies snear at Saints, Hamilton and County because our supports are smaller. How about us in general decrying the Welsh and Irish leagues because they're smaller. Aren't we just doing to them what the English do to us?
The bottom line is, apart from a number of useless suits, who really cares? Yes, the joint media means we can't escape the put down stuff but it really says more about them than us.

They make you sign up to their fan database when you buy a ticket, so I'm now constantly getting spam emails about Charlton events after going once. Very annoying.
Most clubs do this. A quick click on the unsubscribe link hidden in the small print at the foot solves this without effecting you being registered as a previous ticket purchaser.

Saints On This Day @SaintsOTD
In 2000, Roddy Grant's testimonial fund receives half of Carlton Palmer's £5,000 fine after the Coventry player missed his flight North.0 -

Surely you can get better value for half a billion than that fucking eyesore?

Scottish journos are imprisoned with their freedom to freely write the truth removed.

I don't think there's any great mystery. Virtually all teams will get unexpected bad results now and again. For once the horrific cliche 'that's football' is actually apt.

I don't know. It was just a wry comment about the ludicrous salaries being paid.

€18m salary? So it's just to the end of the season then.

Sorry chaps but I can't resist reverting to the the not too popular, off topic Christmas Day chat for one more post as this appeared on twitter on Dec 25...
Saints On This Day @SaintsOTD Dec 25
St Johnstone play their first match at Muirton Park on this day in 1924 and around 12,000 fans see the team beat Queen's Park 2-1.
That is a strange one. Christmas Day to open your new ground! I never knew this. 12000 crowd too. What we'd give for that nowadays.
Right, indulgence over. Back to the Biased Broadcasting Corporation and their disgraceful output.

Great stuff CityDave. Some of your best work yet.

Four Scottish Premiership games kicking off in just over an hour and the BBC WATP website is leading with a story about a convicted thug that played a handful of games for Rangers Int and is now no part of Scottish football. Disgraceful.

Do they use the 'first goal is crucial' cliche about German football? It could have all been so different if Leipzig had scored from that cross in the first minute.

Being 25 he'll come back £40 million richer and still only 27 so with many years still ahead of him. It's a no brainer.

The colts entering at League Two level has little to do with youth development, as the likes of McCartney suggests in his paper, but is about maintaining a Celtic/Sevco presence in Scotland IF they ever get an escape route to another league. Don't think I've read that in our press so far, though.
Absolutely spot on. We are currently going through the softening up process and it's just a matter of when.

If it was to maximise the gate you'd think those Glasgow teams would have just played each other.

Third Lanark certainly liked a home game on Dec 25. 18 games, 17 at home and the only away game a couple of miles away at Shawfield! That fixture v Dundee is weird. Why have them all in Glasgow? You'd think if the teams agreed to setting up a regular meeting on Christmas Day for whatever reason they would have had it in Dundee on alternative years.

It's certainly got a 70's vibe to it.

A view of the joined up Eddie Thompson and Jerry Kerr Stands from the away end of the Fair Play Stand back in February 2009. Note the gantry above with the tv camera. Anyone recognise themselves in the photo?
Yep. United end. Lower tier. 17th row up, 36th seat from the left. The one waving.

Loved this on the main BBC site. This morning they had the following two clips in their Gossip column, one above the other...
Brighton boss Chris Hughton wants action to increase the number of black managers in England. (Argus)
Former QPR and Burton Albion boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has turned down the chance to manage League One Coventry City. (Coventry Telegraph)
Went on later to check something and the JFH piece has been moved down the page including a Daily Star page inbetween them.

Only in Scotland would 'big clubs' falling out of the top tier be seen as a negative.
If the morons in the media had their way, the Premiership would be:
Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee Utd and Dundee. No relegation.
Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee Utd and Dundee to be more accurate.

In the olden days we wouldn't have been told who the Leipzig goalscorers were!
