That’s not very nice

The effect twitter and social media has on just about everything, including the news. I was just perusing the BBC website and a 'top story' had the headline 'does this image tell you about your stress levels?'. I clicked and basically the first line said 'no it doesn't, some idiot just made it up on twitter'. Why the f**k is this now a top story then?

Ian Crocker gets me genuinely seething every time I have to listen to him.

Without knowing the detail it does always irritate me that when they report this stuff they rarely define 'poverty'.

THAT'S RACIST

Like overtaking a national express coach in a Renault Megane.

At the current Bank of England rate that day without interest has cost you over £10 Posh Edinburgh c**t.

The correct answer is £1m today so you can get an extra day's interest on the 2nd £500k.

If we have zero chance of qualifying through the traditional route then chances are we'd have a pretty miserable Euros even if we did get through the Nations league route. This is classic Scottish loser mentality.

Everything you say is correct, but still a little confused. I only listened to Miller's post match comments but I did not take anything from what he said as saying the Nations league had any less validity, just that he'd rather do it the traditional way. Not understanding how it works is however unacceptable in his position.

This may be lunacy but... Ignoring all the legalities, 4 years on from a referendum in which 55% of the vote didn't want independence, saying "f**k you we're doing it anyway" probably wouldn't be the best start to life as an independent nation.

I'm sure we can all agree Trump's presidency has been thoroughly entertaining.

Your sanity isn’t welcome here

You could answer the question

yes but, normal qualifying happens and then we have the nations league, if we need it. So why, and more importantly how, would you actually prioritise something that doesn't happen until after?

I think I'm missing something here. Did he say he'd 'prefer' to qualify via the traditional route or that he didn't want to do it through the nations league route? If it's the former, I don't see the issue, the traditional route is the earliest opportunity we have to qualify and would be a bigger achievement, why wouldn't you rather do it that way? If the nations league semi/final was happening say next month and he was saying 'nah f**k that I want to do it the proper way' then obviously that would be lunacy.

Given the main qualifying happens before nations league, why and how would you suggest prioritising it?

Seems I've caused a stir. I didn't say it was important what route we qualified through. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see us qualify through a group proper, and I hope we go all out to do so. It would give us some confidence going into the tournament proper if we could finish at least 2nd in a qualifying group. The fantastic thing is we can now go for it with the 'safety net' of the Nations league route.

Don't see what's wrong with preferring to qualify in the traditional way, I'd probably rather we did too. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be ecstatic if we got through the Nations league way. Miller said as much too. Think you're possibly going overboard with Willie here. The great man has to endure a lot of bitterness from P&B.

Willie has you, like most forwards that came up against him in his career, right in his back pocket.

This has actually had me seething this week too.

Loves the dons though

From 'We welcome the chase' to the 'unprecedented injury crisis of Autumn 2018'. Didn't take long.

Ah fair enough. It does seem a lot but do they play many away games on Saturday 3pm currently?

Surely their home games would still be Saturday 3pm (other than actual derbies)?
