Is the boy Collins that Ireland are playing to front the one that played for Hibs when they went down? As in the ‘laughably out his depth in the Scottish Premiership’ one?

World Cup: Euros: Copa America: Asian Cup: Oceania Nations Cup: AFCON: North American Gold Cup: Edit: Scotland have been to a couple of World Cup quarter finals, and the second round of the Euros once.

The Asian Cup - 2047 Hot on the heels of our success at the AFF Championships, we now head to China to take part in the Asian Cup. As far as I can tell, we're there to make up the numbers and have absolutely no chance of doing anything of note. If we can get through the group stages I'll be quite pleased. Anyway, our group contains Qatar, Indonesia and host nation China. We've got a decent record against Qatar from the qualifying for this, we drew with Indonesia at the AFF's (although I'd expect them to win when we play) and China we have no chance at all against, but I'd say we're in with a shout of sneaking through, either in 2nd or 3rd. It follows the same format as the Euro's - 6 groups of 4, top 2 from each group go through and the best 4 third placed sides through as well. Here we go.

Dreadful until our first goal, but after that was as well as we’ve played this season, although we certainly should have scored a few more goals. Tiffoney looks like he’ll be an important player for us. Airdrie also defended appallingly, which was nice. I was quite impressed with Paton today though, and the two wingers were good in the first half but fell out of the game after that.

Would have some laugh if they’d let that goal stand.

That red card was in no way harsh.

Really poor start from us, but since our goal we’ve been completely dominant and definitely should have at least one more goal. Some save from Wright just before the goal and well taken by Tiffoney. Both Airdrie’s wingers (Robert and the ginger boy - O’Brien?) have looked good imo.

Graham has been a good player for us for the most part, but he misses some amount of sitters.

Who’s the co-commentator? He seems like an absolute fud

Good start, all came from Foster being shite.

December 2046 A perfect month, with a special shout out to Mifsud's 91st minute free kick against Floriana. We also only bothered playing in the first 10 minutes and last 5 minutes against San Gwann, so that was fun. If I was being very critical, I'd say that some of these wins should have been much more comfortable than they were if we'd taken our chances efficiently, particularly the St George's game where we created enough for another 6-0 effort, but that's probably being overly picky. We're still unbeaten. and in normal circumstances I'd expect a side who've only dropped 6 points to be pulling away, but Valetta are having a ludicrous season as well. It's still in our hands though, beat them and match the rest of their results and we should be champions. Hibernians and Floriana are still hanging in there, but hopeful they'll fall away a bit.

The AFF Championship - 2046 My first taste of international competition, and it's the AFF Championship - basically the South East Asian nations playing a cup. We've got Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam in our group, while the other group features the Phillipines, Timor-Leste, Myanmar, Brunei and Laos. Our group is certainly much stronger, but I'm hopeful that we can get through the groups. Indonesia have beaten Timor-Leste in the last 3 finals, while we haven't been in a final for 24 years. Let's see how it goes.

November 2046 A great month, let down by a really, really frustrating draw against Gzira. The win over Hibernians was absolutely huge, and we still haven't lost a game this season., but we do have the odd game (Gzira and Marsa earlier) where we're massively dominant, but just cannot score to save ourselves. Need to cut that out. As I said, still unbeaten but we're in third. Almost half way through the season, we'll need to keep it up and hope that Valletta start dropping some points. I've been playing the AFF Championship this month as well, but will be doing a separate post on that.

October 2046 Pretty quiet month, but mostly positive beating the two pish sides and drawing with the good one. Valetta's goal was their only shot on target and came in the 92nd minute so that was really frustrating. Hamrun are a dreadful side, but we had to come from behind as they scored a screamer. We're in 4th, but had we held on against Valletta we'd be top. It's very tight between four sides, with a bit of a gulf below that. As an aside, it's a surprise to see St George's in 5th given how appalling they were against us. Malaysia We came back from 2 down against India, which was pleasing, but we really shouldn't have been 2 down in the first place. Oh well. Iran are a good team, so no shame in being soundly beaten by them. Anyway, next month, I have my first shot at glory with Malaysia - the AFF Championships. We haven't won it since 2010, and Indonesia have won the last 4, so hoping to break their streak. I've decided I'd quite like to win a few international competitions throughout the save - this would be a nice time to start that.

I’d never heard of her, but this isn’t even remotely surprising. Pretty certain McEleny is a transphobic w**k as well. I’m not sure if a collection of the biggest dickheads in the SNP will be quite as popular as they hope.

The very first candidate they mentioned, Eva Comrie, starting banging on about “equalities policy” So, the Wings party it is, then. Safely in the bin. Edit: and the bold Stu has turned up himself now.

Based on nothing more than guesswork, I think it’ll be Michael Mathieson. He’s done a few cabinet positions before, seems to be vaguely competent and isn’t particularly controversial (unless I’m forgetting something major) My other guess is that Angus Robertson, provided he gets elected, is an absolute NAP to a cabinet position as well.

Aye, he’s mine and all. To be fair to him, I’m enjoying filing my copy of the “West Edinburgh News Gazette” straight into the fucking bin.

Loving the universal disdain on show for Alex Cole-Hamilton, absolute w****r that he is. He’s top of the Lib Dem list so I’d have thought has a decent shot at getting in anyway, but I will be full Kevin keegan if he’s down the job centre on 7th May.

September 2046 A good month - we were far better than Marsa but just couldn't take our chances and everything else was pretty comfortable. Through in the cup as well, although we should be beating lower league nonsense like Balzan much more convincingly. Looks like they'll be 4 teams going for it, although plenty of time for some of them to fall away. Malaysia Hmm. That Syria game was quite embarrassing. I mean, they're a decent side, certainly better than we are, but we shouldn't be taking 4 off them. Made up for it with a good win over Tajikistan though.

They’re a good side, but they aren’t some incredible collection of superstars. We can get something off them.

Looked off to me, but some fucking finish

Never fucking doubted him. Pretty shite from Austria mind

That’s one of the most obvious penalties I’ve ever seen.

August 2046 Only one game in the first month of the season - an absolute thumping of a St George's side who've been in the relegation playoff's two seasons running. Don't want to get ahead of myself given how shite they are, but that's an excellent start. Means nothing yet, obviously.
