Hayes was ruddy ace today. What a player.

Mitrovic scores again. Is it time for a Barclays team to take a punt on Declan Gallagher?

Tam Cowan seems a bit more excited about Rangers playing in the Champions League than I'd expect a Motherwell fan to be.

There are intriguing, well-balanced Premiership fixtures in Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Paisley today, so plenty for the BBC to choose from for the Saturday 3pm commentary game.

Absolutely fantastic monologue / rant from Big Marty on the BBC news just there. Is he at risk of a David Kelly / involuntary suicide situation?

Yep. It's happening already. Get active @ Beach Leisure Centre pool in Aberdeen to temporarily close over soaring energy prices | STV News

The standing charge went up a lot more in April. I remember being pissed off because I don't use much energy (stay in a relatively modern flat, on my own, don't feel the cold that badly, ticht as a duck's fud) and the SC is a big chunk of my bill.

Here We Go. Sitcom about a dysfunctional family with her from out of IT Crowd, him from out of Peep Show and her from out of Gavin & Stacey. Really funny IMHO but it doesn't seem to have gained any buzz so it might just be one season. On the iPlayer.

Telt.

The "post-goal squabbling over the ball" shitefestery is getting embarrassing now.

I wondered what the baseball cap p***k's excuse would be. TBF he's missing his main man. Still a p***k though.

Get Calvin Ramsay into the team you try-too-hard German bellend.

Milner was like Colin Hendry at Wembley there.

I remembered spotting this name a while back on the thread. He popped up on C4 news just there. Holy f**k, I think there was a real chance of him keeling over mid-interview. He's Truss's man on economics and that? Terrifying.

Really impressive away performance from the Yellow Sub, got the first goal after an Atleti error then scored on the breakaway right at the end. 0-2.

Interesting stuff! I wonder if it's simply something to do with trying to establish a bit of rivalry between the (random) clubs that get paired up? Eg. Hibs v Queens isn't an attention-grabbing matchup if they play each other in September then March or something, but if the two matches take place quite close together, the press can talk about "settling scores" in the second of the matches. In a similar way to European ties, where maybe the tackles were flying in the first leg, or one or both teams feel aggrieved at the result, and the second leg gets portrayed as a grudge match by the media. This might also help to keep attendances high for midweek games. Otherwise, I'm stumped!

This is liquid Barclays.

Belter m8.

I really didn't see much positive in Morris last Saturday. He repeatedly switched off when he was required to contribute defensively.

Aye, and in addition the middle of the main stand, and therefore also the dugouts, don't line up with the halfway line, which is a bit annoying. I don't know if it used to line up but the pitch was moved at some point (maybe when the new stand was built behind the goal?).

When is the commentator going to realise that the ref has given a penalty?!

"Too much sun and not enough Son".

You beat me to it! Absolute shocker.

Derek Gashton, mair like!
