I have no idea. One of the jags fans on here mentioned that we were, but given we only brought one out last season surely we won't be.

That Jags away top is heartbreakingly shite. We haven't had a decent top in so long I actually doubt I'll ever buy one again (I'm of course being dramatic). I'd take a similar shaped top to Raith, with that lovely collar, but it's black with a red and yellow pinstripe. Red and yellow stripes (all the way down the back too, with black numbers) and you've got an absolute winner. The Caley away top is alright. I think that design with the right caley blue instead of black would make a class home top.

That Raith shirt is splendid.

This.

At aged 39 "no ball games" signs still absolutely boil my piss. The same selfish, grey haired, nimby arseholes who lobby for these signs are the same ones who complain that weans are too fat, or that they get up to mischief (which they will do when opportunities for play have been taken away). I always mind my ma (who moaned about her not particularly noisy neighbours so much you'd think she'd signed up to live in a Trappist monastery) saying that while she liked quiet she much preferred to hear bairns playing loudly and boisterously nearby. If you live in suburbia you should expect, nay, promote that. Anyway, hijacking the thread to moan about, essentially a PTTGOMN. I hope you get some nice goals Thorongil. My da' once made us goals from wood. They looked great, but didn't survive the first use. My da', as it turns out, was the worst DIY-er in South Lanarkshire. Shelves which would be outlived by mayflies. That sort of thing.

Not necessarily, but what to do next time is place sticks of rhubarb (about 3 inches long) on a baking tray, drizzle with honey and bake it for about 10 minutes or until soft and bubbly (but holding their shape). Hae that with yoghurt and you're laughing.

FTFY. It's a ptttgomn but God forsaken means that God has abandoned or given up. I blame Jason Mraz for this mix up.

Tbf a Smirnoff Ice was a smice about 20 (twinty) odd years ago when they first came out. I bet there are chaps who were having a heid's gone about the youth of today when "God be with you" was getting abbreviated to "goodbye".

I can't very well read a Glasgow herald at a bar seat m9.

I love that pars kit. The sponsor logo is unobtrusive enough. Good effort. That Don's home kit is going to absolutely fly off the shelves up here. An absolute corker.

Hmmm, I don't enjoy the inference here, but the folk I saw actually had more issue in the end with how her character wasn't well developed and was the waste of a good actress. I'm not a nerdy SW fan at all. I saw ROTJ and the prequels, but haven't seen the first one (and nothing marks me out as a muggle than referring to "a new hope" as "the first one"). Given the love that old school nerdy Star Wars fans have for Ashoka, your implication of racism would appear wide of the mark. John Boyega as Finn was a character that the fandom, as far as I could see, thought should have been the central character and had the more interesting arc, but was wasted too. There's a vogue nowadays for big studios to deflect attention away from shite writing by calling attention to "toxic fans" with their online abuse. It's generally gaslighting pish. I know it happens, of course. It's awful, but we know that twitter is an absolute cesspit and facilitates some of the worst of behaviour. I appreciate the alternative opinion on her prominence.

Not normally into the skinnier ladies, but Lucy Verasamy is absolutely glorious. Anyway, didn't come on to post about tidy weatherwifies. Living in Torry (lower Deeside in estate agent speak) has its downsides, and having a ground floor flat means always having folk outside my living room. People congregate and it's seldom interesting or, in the case of the Torry Guild of Heroin Users who convene their monthly meeting at my window ledge, intelligible. Today I just had a couple of aul' wifies stage a storytelling session. It was class. They were both utterly absorbed in dispensing dispatches from their respective camps that it felt like I was watching a play, and like a play the two actors here were bringing physicality and intensity of focus to hold my attention. It was nice as they won't have known that they were being listened to, so there was no self consciousness about it. I've not been around old folk for ages and it was lovely to see them in a context defined by themselves, in their native habitat as it were.

I will drink to that, mon frere. It would be nice to say to my bairns and grandbairns how shite we were "in my day" when they're gutted that we've only gotten to the quarter finals again. To the second bold part, I don't know where you get that from as Celtic just won their 10th title in 11 years and have a European Cup .

Nailed it. They're just a content factory these days. I didn't watch it as I'm just jaded with Disney content these days and after reading and hearing about Boba Fett (and seeing some videos about it) I had no faith this would be any good. A few of the guys whose videos I watch had predicted, from the trailer, that this series would be about Reva rather than Kenobi and they would just be using the name recognition of OWK to lure fans in to a show that was ostensibly a set-up for their new character. This appears to be exactly what happened.

This reads like you haven't seen "Blue is the Warmest Colour". My word.

Bloody hell I forgot they were at 2012, so make that 5 tournaments then, making it out the group stage of 4 of them. Compare that to our 3 in the same period (I've not included them qualifying for Euro 88 either as it's 50-50 whether 5 year old me would have watched) and aye, I would bite your hand off for that. I don't envisage you changing my mind on that point as I'll always maintain that having my team being semi-regular qualifiers for championships is preferable to being non-qualifiers, but hearing from my da about how we regularly, but toothlessly, qualified for things before. So we'll agree to disagree.

In my football supporting lifetime Ireland have made it to 4 tournaments and made it out the group stage in all 4. I'd take that over all of our less than glorious failures.

(My phone won't let me delete the quote, so apologies for getting you all excited with the "velo army quoted you" notification "). Just popped on to say that the anti-Bristol shouts couldn't be wider of the mark. It's a superb and very bonnie city. I've been a few times now as I have pals down there. Wild.

The question is relevant to "would you rather have Wales' record or ours"? The first tournament I saw was 1990. I've seen us in 4 tournaments and that was nice, but it was mainly the disappointment of turning up and finding different ways to go home early. I can take little comfort from history I didn't witness. Wales went to a semi final. I watched the QF in a pub in Cardiff and Ithat game will rightly live on in the hearts and minds of Welsh people. This year they'll have made their 3rd tournament in my lifetime. Would I swap recent qualifying for getting to see Scotland at tournaments as a youngster? I'm honestly not sure. I'd bite your hand off for Ireland's though.

I can only imagine.

Mandela affect means I still reckon I'm right .

Ask the wife?

Are you the foreman at Scottsdad's house?

I wasn't talking about his Scotland goals, but I remember at the time there were cries to have him included when he was scoring goals (in a front two) that around half, possibly more, were pelanties. Either way, I'm still not sure about him. On the one hand, he looked sharp when he came on for us against (I think) Macedonia and nearly scored, on the other hand he wasn't particularly useful as a hold-up man/channel runner which is what Levein preferred at the time. He did seem to acquire a "king ower the watter" status the more he didn't play.

Probably, but my pal (a weegie) always found it amusing that the given reason for it was that it was Glasgow nonsense.
