Is that actually nice? Sounds sickly sweet.
Anyway, a pint of Fyne Ales' Jarl in The Raven in Glasgow for the football. I'm a big fan of Fyne Ales and this is going down a treat (pic taken earlier!).

Is it still the case that top seed plays 2nd and 4th at home and 3rd, 5th away?
Edit: pretty much answered by post above that must have been seconds before mine.

If he does turn out to be shite then hopefully we realise in July/August.

Update: he's been to Bletchley Park; doesn't fancy another trip. Shot down a few other daytrip suggestions too.
He's a massive NCIS fan for some reason, so I thought I'd try one of those coffee-table books you see about those kinds of shows. Of course, this appears to be one that nothing's been released for except "fan books" that look printed on an old monochrome copier.
What about a box set of The World At War series if he's into his war series? Unless he can get it through his TV package.

Definitely an accurate take.
Ox played a couple of league cup games from memory so I went back to see if anyone had passed comment at the time.
@Archie McSquackle - "Oxborough is a lot bigger but didn't come for corners in the East Fife game which Kelly would have easily"
So let's not hold out hope he's our number 1 and if he is everyone better relax into a season of similar outcomes to this....
Does beg the question - have we had two goalies who naturally just don't come for corners and crosses? Or, has it been coached into them for whatever reason not to do that?
It's a small sample size admittedly (one game
) but I was struck by how much he stayed on his line when it looked as though the ball was there to be taken. He may well have been nervous on a rare appearance.

Even back then, a keeper regularly coming to take crosses at the penalty spot (and 18 yard line) was out of the ordinary/weird and I'm really not sure that it is a big part of goalkeeping in modern fitba.
We didn't lose a goal from a corner under GA - and that didn't happen because Kelly was coming for everything. I don't think there is a clear, easy to see reason for us losing so many soft goals from corners/long throws/crosses but it's not because Kelly wasn't doing this:
What a day that was. Celtic parade Fergus McCann before the game and then launch ball after ball to big Sieb who was absolutely loving it.

I'm in a hotel, mostly occupied by French people. It makes me wonder why we bailed them out so often. They're more ignorant than the Russians.
I can tell you're going to love my annual posting of pool-side beers in the south of France in the What Are You Drinking thread. I could even throw in some random pictures of French people.

The bit that got me is that Holly Vallance is going to co-host a £100,000 a couple fundraising dinner in London for Donald Trump.
Show some scruples Holly.

Popped into Tesco on the way home from work tonight and they were selling Paulaner- lovely.

I've got a funny feeling this thread is going to be rather busy over the next six weeks or so

I'd need a wee ramp before every pothole. That would make cycling and the roads in general a lot more interesting.

If Block E is full, would it not make more sense to expand into Block D than move to the Cooper?

Tbf that was simply a couple of YouTube videos getting shared of his greatest bloopers against us it wasn't something any poster spent time editing together.
There was a video of Mark Birrighetti at Dundee United and his mistakes in their relegation season but admittedly, they were on a different level and it was comedy gold

Could be but it must have been in the dim and distant past because I didn't click on any of them. Ah, I get it - BFTD must have clicked on them before attaching the image. It's been a long day

Here's the existing overall record, according to Wiki, which might help. By my calculations, there should be 23 clubs there if you include Clyde, as they've amalgamated two clumpanies into one.
If we're not counting Airdrieoneans v2 as another club, the most likely answer is probably one of the clubs that are new to the SPFL, or whoever finds a sugar daddy. Nobody's getting a brief European fling for winning the League Cup/losing the Scottish Cup final to Celtgers anymore. We may well not see another European debutante in our lifetimes.
Edit: 24 if Jacksgranda's right about Third Lanark.
Why are Airdrie, Gretna and Hearts in magenta when all other teams are in blue? I know that Airdrie and Gretna have since been liquidated but Hearts haven't and Rangers have. Any suggestions?

Aye, but it's nae Laighstonehall.
Did there not used to be a poster on here (maybe SO) called Fairhill? Arguably Laighstonehall's less salubrious neighbour.

Skodas or rainbow pants/vest combos? I don't quite cut the same figure as the male model and am very much a M&S boxers man so decided to pass.

Some bargains there IMO
I keep getting adverts on this site showing a man in rainbow striped pants and vest. Thankfully it now seems to have changed to Skoda.

Even on the BBC sport Scoddish section, its not the easiest to find the playoff scores, and certainly zero live reporting or any detail whatsoever. Beyond contempt
The website has gone seriously downhill. They've tried to improve their coverage of the Premiership but it's at the expense of everything else.

Paulaner Weissbier in The Belle on Glasgow's Great Western Road earlier (Mrs. McSquackle's wine on display also). Glorious

Didn't we sell Nicky "Windae-Wipers" Walker to Castle Greyskull?
Was that a Jock Wallace deal where we got Kenny Black (an absolute hatchet man) and Kenny Lyall (not very good) in exchange for Walker? We may have got a wee bit of cash as well.

They were pushing it but it was #TB4 for the teams that had been in the top division for ages. It sort of died when they got relegated because they couldn't push it and no-one else gave a monkey's.
