The mods have dropped the ball here, so the onus is on me to remind posters that unless they are a Hearts fan or a qualified QC, they are not permitted to post any opinions or predictions on any forthcoming court case.

I'm sure we're all shocked that large groups of football lads roaming the streets all day full of bevvy has ended in violence.

Aye, there's that as well tbf, but the sentiment runs deeper than just those we see on the streets.

I think much of it is to do with them feeling that they never got what they think they 'deserved' for 'winning'.

I will never forgive Greggs for radicalising these impressionable young men by introducing vegan sausage rolls.

'Sandra, SANDRA, ave you seen my SS helmet ? I need it for the 'we're not far right' protest with the lads this afternoon.'

I certainly hope that the Rangers Media admins took advantage of the quiet forums today to get in some much needed work on the site.

Neatly summed up in 1 picture here.

I get the feeling that somehow this will be all Sadiq Kahn's fault.

The Edinburgh protest seems to be going well. Around 5 da's have turned up in St.Andrew's Square to protect the Melville monument, including this guy with a hub cap marked KKK strapped to his head.

Sad scenes in London there. Although surely none of us could have predicted this when the call went out to every divorced da in England during the week. Also, all the talk of Neil Oliver and no-ones posted the Burnistoun piss take ?

If you don't think the parents did it, then please explain the gloves left at the scene and the blood smeared on the white Bronco ?

'Court cases', '£6million compensation' Nae bother lads.

It's one of the best Saints shirts I've seen. I'm only giving it 8.5 out of 10 though, because unless there is a favourable cup draw, it's unlikely that we will see it causing jambo tears next season.

The mask has well and truly slipped with Stan there.

Reckon you'll have this cracked within 3 years now. It's following the same pattern as Wales, slowly establishing yourself as best of the rest behind an absolute juggernaut, then picking up cups and European money before an historic title triumph.

I wonder how much we can squeeze out of Anderson and Hearts before we allow them back in to play with the big boys ? £3 million is clearly not enough, what's the next offer ?

The Boys from the Basque Country. Season 3. January/February are huge months in the calendar. Plenty league fixtures, Spanish cup and European competition. First up is a trip to the desert where we sportswash some despicable regime for the 4 team Spanish Super Cup. An impressive victory over Barca and a massive boost as Sevilla beat Real in the other semi. Almost shat the bed against 10 men in the final. Nice wee bit of silverware though. An earlyish exit in the Spanish Cup though. Put a strong team out but we just weren't at the races. Real beat us in a massive clash at the top of the table. It was their 13th win on the trot and they opened up a 5 point gap at the top. We dominated the game, they played the last half hour with 10 men, just couldn't get the goal. Bounced back with a first Nou Camp win, 3 up after 11 minutes in one of the best performances of the last 3 years. Blew it in the first leg, 2 up and cruising before a daft red card, then lost 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. 2nd leg was evenly matched, they took their chances though and deserved it over the piece. Out all the cups with just the league to play for, we finished strong with a 14 game unbeaten run trying to chase Real down. Was it enough to retain our crown ? Was it f**k. We matched our points tally from last year whilst scoring more and setting a record for least conceded. We've had unbeaten runs of 14 and 15 in the league, only lost 5 games out of 51 all season ( away at Chelsea, Man U and Alaves, home to Vigo and Real Madrid) and only ended up with a fucking Super Cup to show for it.

The Boys from the Basque Country Season 3. From now on I think I'll organize the updates into 4 parts, 2 halves of the season on the pitch and summer and winter off field updates. Nobody in during the window and only 1 out. But it was a big one. The club captain has been punted. It was a decent offer, he fancied it and tbh he's ranged from very underwhelming to half decent in the 2 and a half years. Only 29, he's only signed a 2 year deal in China, so may end up back home at some point. It also gives me room to move financially in the next few windows. Youth intake was predicted to be another 'golden generation', ended up with one potential baller and another 3 or 4 potential first teamers. Full back on both sides remains an issue, first choices are 32 and 30 with little behind them. A promising RM with decent-ish defensive stats is going to be retrained as a RB. I'm pretty fucked at LB and may have to fork out 30 odd million on some average jobbers release clause in the next 18 months. How very exciting. Me and big Aitor got on well, so disappointed to see him go. There we go. Meh.

The Boys from the Basque Country. Season 3. Took a break from this, but back into it now and season 3 is in the bag. We of course lifted the title against all odds last year, so we were looking for a strong defence of that title and progress in Europe. In pot 1 this year and although both Chelsea and Ajax were the highest ranked 2nd and 3rd seeds, it's a decent draw. We've made really strong starts since I took over and this year was no different. Defence solid as a rock and a few pumpings handed out. We were eventually toppled by Celta Vigo after 15 undefeated, add that to last years 12 game end of season run. Everyone has spent money, especially Barca, and upped their game this year though. Previously at the halfway point, we've been ahead by 4 (lost the league by 3) and ahead by 7 (won the league by 2), so we had our work cut out. Bit of a sticky start in Europe but recovered magnificently, 4 clean sheets in a row and an outstanding performance in Amsterdam. Man Utd await in the last 16.

Aye, the Kennedy's in that Netflix doc were one of the biggest lowlights in the entire 13 year saga. The failson cutting about like he was some sort of special agent paedo hunter.1
