The Other Foot

P&Bers, just a little thought I've had for a while (and one which has resurfaced since a BBC article came out this morning)... Is it morally wrong to refuse the vaccine, for the time being, on the basis that you are shocked at how little of the supply has been extended to the developing world so far? Is it wrong that I would be getting the vaccine so much faster than someone my age in Malawi, for example? Covax is undoubtedly a fantastic initiative, but it's not doing nearly enough. It's looking increasingly likely that we're going to have a world where the developed world is sufficiently immunized, but vast swathes of Africa and Asia are still cowering in fear. Just a thought, as I say. I haven't made up my mind yet.

Al no' be gettin' the vaccine. You've nae idea what's in it.

The only reasonable outcome is to have no relegations this year and, subsequently, no promotions from the Championship.

Do we really think he's a Rangers fan? Sorry, a bear. shudder

I'm not even angry. A victory for Leith's proudest son is a victory for all of Leith.

I haven't worked out what this post means yet, but I feel that I would enjoy it.

Just out of curiosity, chaps - have any of you tried referring to yourselves as 'bears' in the US of A?

I have to say, I'm very impressed that so many people remember names and posts, and remember which posts were submitted by which names, and so on and so forth. I only remember posters if they really make an impression. One such poster has to be 8GamesToGo, who I am nominating as 2020's best. Despite hanging on to a myth as tenaciously as the most ardent of religiously-inspired suicide bombers, you really have to admire his consistency and integrity. Also, if the rumours are true and he was, once upon a time, Jet Paedo, you have to admit that he has grown in fluency and all-round fishing capability.

I thought he had dropped the charade a few years ago, and was now openly identifying as ***? I think the 'coming-out' announcement tied in with something momentous...I don't know...perhaps the *** returning to the Premiership?

Actually had quite a lot to do this afternoon, but you've just thrown me head-first down a nostalgia tunnel. Started off with How2... I'm now at Bucky O'Hare, having travelled via Byker Grove and Sharky& George

Sweet lord, I hope it's not Urban VI that you've put on the bench. Wouldn't like to be in your shoes when he finds out...

Folk who do this need the Pinochet helicopter treatment.

That was for the wummen and weans. The good old days, when the men were men and the women were men too.

You're a ***, aren't you?

It most certainly was! In the days when tickets to the football were a fraction of the price they are now, and the weekly trip to Easter Rd/Tynecastle was just part and parcel of the working man's Saturday (followed, of course, by the boozer). It wasn't as if you supported the other team - you still had a love for your own team, you just also had a love for the footballing experience in general. And there were, of course, skirmishes, but none of the "I hate them so much I'd prefer to sprinkle Jim Traynor's bunion shavings on my pasta than shake their hand" thing. Or at the very least, it wasn't as brash as it has been latterly.

Yes. Though 'plethora' is a stretch. Hibs fans don't get far outside Edinburgh before the ankle bracelet starts beeping.

Well, considering one side wears immaculate white pinstripes and the others have red socks, which ones do you reckon have been up to their knees in ****** blood?

Nope, 5 pages of back-and-forth drivel. The correct answer is that OF fans are glory hunters, and shouldn't be allowed outside of Glasgow. Supporting the team your dad supports? Do you shag the same woman too?!

...said Andy Goram.

Some would tell him to take a break, have a drink, get laid. Me? I salute his indefatigullability

I've often wondered if 'shiteing' should really be spelt 'shiting'. Why keep the 'e'? We don't do it with 'wire' and 'wiring'... or 'rare' and 'raring'... or 'Killie will be firing Dyer after an abysmal 6-0 drubbing'.

Good god. The prophecies were true...

'Hearts' with a small 'h'. Intriguing...

'Scots in Europe' forum for this p*sh. Unless you have a reasonable quality clip of that Roofe goal...
