The cope is dripping off this post HARD
I think Dundee fans are the only folk in the country who think Dundee United aren't a bigger club tbh.
Agree with you here. Dundee might be the bigger club to pensioners but it’s been 50 years since they’ve won anything, so realistically you’d have to around 60 to even remember a cup win. They’ve spent most of the last two decades in the Championship/First Division & have a smaller fanbase nowadays than United as well (United have a higher average attendance despite being in a lower tier this season). In my lifetime Dundee United have always been a pretty solid team, winning trophies, reaching cup finals, playing in Europe etc.
Perhaps historically Dundee were bigger, but it’s not the case anymore. It’s like arguing Queens Park are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland because they won loads of trophies outwith most people’s living memory.

Wales are not, by any stretch of the imagination, close neighbours. It takes fucking ages to get there (and if you do drive there make sure you stop off at the pricey but impeccable Gloucester Services).
It is just bitter jealousy. I hate that they're better than us, but celebrated wildly in an unpronounceable bar in Cardiff when they beat Belgium. Stunning result.
Making it to the semi finals of a major tournament is something I’d be willing to bet I never see Scotland do. I don’t think I’ll ever witness a player as good as Bale play for Scotland. It’s annoying as a fan of a bigger and more traditional football nation that Wales fans have experienced that.It’s also why a lot of diddy team fans (especially Hibernian) are bitter about St Johnstone Football Club. We’ve been much more successful than nearly every Scottish club of a similar size in recent history and it’s made fans of other clubs very resentful. If we’d been pissing about down in the Championship for the last 15 years then the level of bitterness would be nowhere near the same level.

Wales/the Welsh/the Welsh national team are fine. I don't get the hate for them.
It’s sheer seething jealousy about how much more successful they’ve been than Scotland in the past couple of decades.

It depends what he did. There's a difference between spending 100k with an estate planner to avoid inheritance tax, or just taking reasonable steps yourself to give money to your family.
The political appetite from the conservative party is to remove inheritance tax altogether which is a totally bonkers idea. It's actually a sad indictment of political discourse that's even a serious discussion.
On your first point - as Shadow Play says, you should probably look into what was actually done re his estate. If you think rich (socialist) people using loopholes to avoid paying tax isn’t hypocritical then fair enough.
Regarding the second, there are plenty far more egalitarian societies than the UK that have scrapped inheritance tax - Norway and Sweden being prime examples - and so it’s not the most ‘bonkers’ idea ever. Those countries, of course, have other (seemingly more effective) ways of taxing wealth. Not that I’m advocating for the UK to scrap inheritance tax obviously.

I was sure we did, but apparently not.
Championship Manager ruining my memory yet again.
Yet more evidence of discrimination against St Johnstone players IMO.

Travelled 5 hours up from England to Hampden to watch that. Hotel costs, food, 2 days off work and 5 hours back tomorrow.
Absolutely fucking grim. Only a friendly but very worrying and one of my lowest points as a Scotland fan in recent years
no one to blame but yourself for that one bud.

This makes total sense too.
It's one thing being against the system, and trying to change it, but if you can't then your options are either follow it, or donate your families money to the state where it will be a rounding error on their enormous balance sheet.
Quite an easy choice really.
You can think the tax rate should be 60%, not 40%, and send 20% extra to HMRC just for a laugh.
This will change nothing (it will probably cost HMRC more hassle if anything).
There’s a difference between paying additional tax voluntarily and taking active steps to avoid tax. It makes you look pretty hypocritical when you’ve railed against inherited privilege, to then not pay what you’re due within the spirit of the law.

Luncarty can move out of the relegation zone with a win over Inverkeithing this weekend.

The two highlighted bits are a couple of minor wrinkles for me. I've been here since 2012 and speak Doric loads (but with my Glasgowish accent) and I still get marked out as "nae fae here".
Glaswegians are absolutely obsessed with other Scottish people’s accents. Constantly hear them going on about ‘Glasgow Uni’ accents, or ‘Teuchter’ accents. If you don’t have a very working class Glasgow accent then you’re not a true Scottish person to them and you’ll be met with some tired Limmy patter. Especially funny when it comes from some Hutchy-educated guy who grew up in a huge detached house in Pollokshields, yet desperately puts on a thicker accent.
On the sectarian point, agreed it’s noticeably different on the east of Scotland v the west.

Imagine going from such a personable manager like Mr Warnock, to a cretinous little w****r like Neil Lennon. I can hate Aberdeen again.

Broxburn rally from 0-2 down and could win title with a few furlongs spare at this rate.
Everybody in bottom 5 is showing signs of life except Kinnoull though Glenrothes and Luncarty both also lost today having led (unsure about Crossgates).Two massive games for Luncarty next - Crossgates and Kinnoull. Get six points there and they’re in with a chance of staying up.

Stop misquoting.
At what point has anyone ever said he’s the best 9 of all time because he’s scored some tap ins?

I initially thought it was Dier at first on the highlights as well. I think it’s the new trim.

Top scorer in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga this season. Shite player right enough.

A win on Saturday whilst Kilmarnock take care of Dundee leaves us only two points behind the Dens Galacticos, setting up a blockbuster clash at McDiarmid. The natural order will be restored on the 30th March.

I dont think Warnock has ever had the Dons dressing room... I mean...wtf do you think players like Myovski make of him?
Mr Warnock has managed significantly better players than Miovski throughout his career. There’s no shame in losing to St Johnstone Football Club, at the end of the day.
