If you have an actual room thermostat, either a manual one that turns round or a digital display one, have your heating on constant at the boiler but have the roomstat at something like 10 or 12° , that will keep the house at a temperature that will keep the chill out the place and prevent frozen pipes etc whilst not giving you a motherfucker of a gas bill Another wee tip for you and anyone else this time of year, most frozen/burst pipes occur in the attic If it gets close to 0° on the weather forecast remove or, half open the loft hatch if you have a tank and/or water pipes up there to get a bit of heat circulation to prevent a disaster

Jorge Burruchaga scores the winner in the 1986 World Cup final in Mexico. Argentina 3 West Germany 2

At a Stirling Albion v Airdrie match twenty odd years ago, mate of mine, an ex miner funnily enough, was hollering abuse at John Martin, calling him all the scab b*****ds under the sun.... Airdrie's scab goalkeeper, offered Peter to meet him in the car park for a post match chat, my rather unhinged friend, who would fight his own shadow barked more insults at JM and said he'd be there at 5 15 and looking forward to it, the big scab, rather wisely didn't show up.

I'd only saw the first and last hour of the final yesterday, mainly due to dozing off for a few hours with a hangover so, watched the highlights today after I got in from work. It was actually Steve Smith who he ran up to and screamed at after he was given out LBW, absolutely monumental bell end behaviour, him accepting his player of the tournament award afterwards with a face like a smacked arse was a quite fantastic moment of karma.

Was out and about in the car on Saturday and had the radio on, really enjoyed listening to it with Bradshaw and Cosgrove dovetailing in just the correct level between football and Scottish society/nostalgia. Such a fresh change from the attention seeking idiot Cowan interrupting and talking over people with his lame, outdated 'yer da' humour, I don't get to listen to it too often as most Saturdays I'm at the Celtic match on our supporters bus or occasionally at the Stirling Albion game but, last one I recall listening to Pat Nevin was on and discussing his time at Chelsea and Everton in an era of seismic change in football and, in general attitudes and outlooks in football in juxtaposition with evolution of society at the time, he was literally in the middle of a very interesting anecdote about Howard Kendall when Cowan immediately interjects with some crass, lame attempt at patter with zero relevance, probably because the show had gone a couple of minutes without a contribution from him or, just generally being about him. Nevin didn't get the chance to return to his story, remember being thoroughly pissed off at the time, knowing how he regularly stalks here I hope he sees this and realises how much of a bell end he comes across as, no doubt provoking a personal dig at me via his social media like he did to another poster on here, if THE BBC have any sense they will keep Bradshaw on for a while in place of that muppet.

Zbigniew Boniek, the legendary Polish striker, evades USSR defender Sergei Baltacha during their clash in Barcelona in the 1982 World Cup. I think Boniek scored a hat trick here in Poland's 3-0 win, earning him move to Juventus not long after, I'm sure many will recall Baltacha having a spell with St Johnstone at the end of his career.

Had an absolute stormer when Celtic won 2-1 away to Ajax in 1982, marking Johan Cruyff out the game by all accounts.

Paul McStay evades Andre Van Tiggelen at Euro 92 in Sweden, Scotland should have been in front by half time, two great chances fell to to the wrong players, Richard Gough and Dave McPherson both had loose balls land at their feet in the box at set pieces and both ballooned them over the bar, I think the player on the left is Philipe Cocu, that may be a young Edgar Davids on the right but not 100% sure. Edit, on second look that left may be Wim Jonk on the left methinks.

Cruyff about to take a penalty late on on in his career at, what I assume is Ajax old ground 'De Meer' ?

Not so sure that's necessarily a good idea mate.

The only meeting of the two Germanys at the 1974 World Cup, East surprisingly defeating West with the only goal scored by Jurgen Sparwasser in Hamburg. Having both already qualified this actually worked against the country also referred to as the DDR (Showing my age here) as they went into a more difficult following section than the West/GDR alongside Brazil, The Netherlands and Argentina, where they sunk without trace, whilst their hosts had a much easier group it has to be said with Yugoslavia, Sweden and Poland.

Branco wheels away in celebration after his thunderous free kick seals Brazil's place in the semi final of the 1994 World Cup in a 3-2 thriller which The Netherlands came from 2-0 down to level the scores only to be undone late on, the match with the famous Bebeto baby rocking goal celebration. Think this match was played in Dallas.

I'm sure people my age and over will recall what happened next in this round of 16 match between The Netherlands and West Germany at Italia 90, won by the Germans 2-1 in Milan.

Didier Six and Alan Giresse celebrate the latter's goal to put France 3-1 up in extra time against West Germany, in a match best remembered for Harald Schumacher almost killing Patrick Battiston the French would blow that extra time lead as it finished 3-3 and they lost on penalties in the semi final of the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

Boo, gunge that peado.

How will you get by this weekend with no Celtic match thread for you to spam with your constant tedious shite?

Get well soon mate.

Is everything okay at home mate?

Your pathological hatred of Celtic fans and, in particular the Green Brigade has reached and breached unhealthy levels some time ago. It's now reached the point of you obsessively trolling and spamming every Celtic match thread now till it is painfully unreadable, you even managed get one match thread binned by the moderators recently, largely in part due your rage filled trolling pish. Seriously, have you ever looked at your posts and recent history on here and not realised how much of an absolute weapon you come across as, when it's myself making this point to you it's maybe time to take a deep breath and put the phone down for a bit.
