The Cheaters Cheat.

Ye Gadd, no !!!

Hello, hello , he's back again !

Separate 'Loyalist' and 'Republican' parades taking place in Glasgow tomorrow, apparently, while Scottish 'riot' police sent to N.Ireland. dear oh dear...

Apparently he sometimes goes down too easily in or around the box - could you be looking at A Dive On Saturday ?

Let's hope so. The last thing Scottish football or Scottish society needs is a secterian title race. Whichever of those two interchangable clubs win the league let them wrap it up by Christmas so the sheer tedious pointlessness of the top flight is clear and obvious to everyone. Maybe then something might be done about it

'Ya ba dabba doo, we support the boys in blue and it's easy, easy ' There you are, that's your winner there, close the thread, wake up little Suzie and tell Jock Stein the news.

The Mary Wallopers - we can but hope. !

Christmas Day can be fatal as Charlie Chaplin, Nicolae Ceausescu and George Micheal found to their cost.

Is there, I wonder, any other professional football league on the planet where a pre-season online prediction forum would have everyone placing the same two teams at 1 & 2 at the seasons end, and everyone would be right ?

Compare the awfulness of that strip with the perfect simplicity of the Broomfield photo circa 70/71 above. I realise it's a method of extracting money from long suffering fans but 'new kits' really are a sad thing.

And you're a foul mouthed cretin but live and let live, eh...

I cannot argue.

The 'arrest video' seems to be a thing now. "Huv ye' seen wee Kylie's arrest video ?"

You hate every single one of them ? Even Ant & Dec ? Keith Richards ? The guy who does the weather on BBC Scotland ? Pretty pathological is one way of putting it.. pathetically petty is another, straying into the hinterland between xenophobia and racism is another. Hope they lose by all means and get utterly pissed off by the 'come on England' from all corners of the 'British' media but don't let it turn you stupid.

But it isn't....it really isn't. Historically it was. But calling it a football rivalry now is like calling Celtic - Queens Park a football rivalry. I don't any longer understand it but I can't let it go. I'm even telling myself i only want Spanish to win because they play the best football .

Now I know we are all a bit numb, shell-shocked, hacked-off, pissed off and experiencing a stress nightmare come true but if you think that Scotland getting to the final would only have merited 10 minutes coverage before kick-off then you're just trying too hard to be bitter......and there really is no need, there's enough to be bitter about from this car crash of a tournament from a Scottish perspective without inventing stuff. 'How bad could It get ?' a voice in the wilderness cried out many weeks ago.....

No, England being taken apart by the Dutch, while unlikely, would be far better. If England get to the final they might win it, Kane dives in the box - pen ? Unlikely Spanish implosion ? Never mind the increasingly hysterical, cringe inducing 'build-up' between now and Sunday. I want to relax and enjoy the Final. Come on Holland (and indeed the rest of the Netherlands) !!

Wembley was good to Cruyff. First European Cup as a player for Ajax in 1971 and masterminding a 2-0 demolition of England by The Netherlands in 1977.

I've never been to Elland Road but I have been to Elland.

More like Josef Stalin..

Wonderful photo from the last truly great World Cup.

I agree on getting them sent home but I've detected absolutely no smugness from either English players, coaches, media or fans this time round. If anything their media and supporters are as baffled as we are that they're still in this. And that, I fear, means they're going to win it.

Only if we can insist they save a seat for the utterly predictable tedium that is the domestic Scottish top flight.

Andy should concentrate his efforts on getting fit for a final bow at the US Open which, despite what the Wimbledon obsessed British media tell us, was the scene of his greatest triumph in 2012.
