Crowd-based discussions on here are fine as most people on P&B actually go to games.
What's unbearable are English Premier fanboys who infest talkboards boasting about 'their' club's huge, huge home crowds, even though they have never been a crowd statistic themselves.

Wouldn't mind getting Stranraer away in the first round of the Scottish Cup if they lose this, a bit pricey but flying to Belfast from Inverness and catching the ferry would be fun.
I once deliberately went to a Renfrew-Rob Roy game using the Renfrew ferry, just so's I could say I'd gone to the fitba by boat.

If Agatha Christie had set a mystery in a sleepy Perthshire village, John Swinney would be the austere but kindly GP who finds the first body.

Hands up who has heard of 'Ben Davies'?

One of a dozen dodgy decisions in that match (I was there). The only one that went against Sellick, the only one that was raged about in the press afterwards, the only one that was the subject of a 'Dae You Know Who We Ur?' request for clarification to the SFA.
But the records still say the Caley won and it is rather delicious.

I take it there will be no VAR check for this...

Crocker’s chat is the same as it was for the Ross County game a couple of weeks ago. Chatting away about Rangers winning the game. They’re a goal down, chief.
He sees the script in advance. It's not his fault if County or Killie decide to ad lib.

Steven Thompson on Sportsound: 'You can understand why there's grumps and groans from the Rangers supporters.'
Grumps and groans = booing, ursine bellowing, demands for the summary execution of the SFA, the SPFL, The Pope and Humza Yousaf, furiously angry peeing over the row in front.

Please hing oan, Killie, in the most Sevco-frustrating way imaginable. The telly's rubbish the night and I want to enjoy a seething RangersMedia.

From the BBC web coverage:
We're only 28 minutes in and there will probably be about 1,000 extra minutes of first-half added time with all the VAR stoppages there have been.
I fixed it for the BBC, though;
We're only 28 minutes in and there will probably be about 1,000 extra minutes of first-half added time if Sevco still need a goal.

Will there come a stage when the SFA, SPFL, the refs, VAR officials etc say, look, Sevco, we've done everything possible to hand you this game on a plate, how about bringing something to the party yourselves, eh?

Dont imagine it'll be much fun against EK.
Could be a cricket score...
Cumbernauld Colts are only three places below them and we saw them off... with a performance I'd rather we'd kept for the league.

Ach, well, relegation it is, then. Our own fault. Might as well prepare for our wee bit of fun v EK in the SCC. Next season there might be three tiers difference between us and EK.

What's on offer in Greenock? a tour of Branchton.
They bus them to Glasgow for Kelvingrove, the Hunterian, the Green, the Mural Trail, People's Palace, Burrell, St Mungo Museum, GOMA, Renee Mackintosh sites, Botanics, Cathedral, the Riverside Museum, Kelvin Hall, Concert Hall, Armadillo, Hydro, Science Centre etc. And Loch Lomond is nearly as accessible from Greenock as Loch Ness from Inv.
I mean, come on, I'm Invernessian by marriage but besides watching the Caley there's not much else to do there. And the Longman is as ugly as any Inverclyde industrial estate.

Plastic or hybrid are the future, like it or not. Look at our traditional pile-up of April-May fixtures owing to Guy's Meadow being unplayable much of the winter.
Pains me to say it but one of the exceptions is Duncansfield where the grass surface is always superb.

I know it’s a very tired cliche but things are going to get worse before they get better.
We’ve reached an inflection point in Scottish politics where the (probable) corruption of the SNP allied to some questionable policies and ineffective leadership at Holyrood means they will nosedive from the high point of just a few years ago and risk ending up level with Labour in terms of support.
It will take one or two terms of Tory Lite at Westminster to remind older voters why they ditched support for Labour in the first place and make younger voters see that the SNP and the fight for Independence is the only option.
Of course there will need to be an overhaul of leadership and a more disciplined approach to policy making and to the Party’s internal workings. The MSM ignores the SNP at Westminster as much as they can but there appear to be some solid politicians there including Flynn. Maybe a move from the U.K. Parliament to the Scottish one would not be a bad thing for some.
Decent summary, that.
Not but that she was the cheerleader for one or two of those questionable policies, but a NIcola Sturgeon exonerated without a stain on her character and returning to frontline politics would be the best possible thing for the SNP. As a political performer, there's no one in any party, Holyrood or Westminster, who's even close.
And the look on Mad Wings NotRev Stu's seething goblin physog would be priceless.
However, even if she were to be cleared, I don't see that happening.

I heard something on Radio Scotland about Salmond suggesting there might be a deal if the SNP agreed to step aside for ALBA in some seats. I think that's just another example of the enormous Salnond chutzpah - step aside for a party hat three people and a dug are gonnae vote for?
I repeat - the largest caucus of ALBA supporters is Mad NotRev Stu's adoring BTL constituency on Wings. All wallopers of the first water, and all convinced that ALBA might be about to make a real electoral breakthrough.

Just cos I can't be arsed going looking. When did the rabs last win a league game? I seem to remember them having a decent start but that was a long time ago!
Now you're asking. Would have to check. There have been a few draws, but....

Rob Roy 2 Meadow 2
Four goals, should be a great game eh?
It wasn't. Roy scored early doors, Meadow equalised just before HT and went 2-1 up with a couple of minutes to go. The Roy managed to force in a late leveller. Standard throughout poor.
There are still plenty of points to be won, but if we can't get past the basement club, how are we to get anything out of Talbot or Darvel?

Rum to see Alba potentially having such power here. Their poll standing remains flattening just above zero. Nobody but Wings Mad Stu's btl followers think it will ever gain any elected representatives except through defections.

The Humza will no doubt be scrabbling around now trying to offer the Greens a 'deal'...result will be the Greens doing a complete U-turn and abstaining next week..making Ash Regan utterly irrelevant.
Meanwhile Yousaf will go on without a coalition with the Greens but still beholden to them to promote their 'policies'.

I don’t think the Tartan Army require any ‘personal reflection’ whatsoever. Supporters have absolutely no obligation to attend the matches of the women’s team. I want the Scotland women’s team to do well the same way I want the U21 or U19 teams to, but I have zero interest in actually going to any games.
The FA have a duty to fund and promote the sport for everyone and should be aiming to grow the game for both women and men. ‘Tartan Army’ members do not. They are already typically attending club team games on top of international matches so why anyone should feel the need for ‘personal reflection’ for not attending even more matches is beyond me. Maybe more women could actually buy tickets to watch other women play?
Seems to me you've just provided two paragraphs of admittedly slightly grumpy personal reflection on the matter...

Move it to the Monday morning
...in a stadium in Dubai.
My hope is that both teams play half a dozen ineligible players and are docked 40 points each, relegated to the West of Scotland League Division 4, their stadia confiscated and demolished to make way for social housing, the clubs having to share with Petershill, and have to change their names to Fluffy Rabbits FC and Frilly Undergarments FC.
I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.

What is the point of Labour ?

Seems her main point is that Labour are more likely to 'stop the boats'. Again this dehumanising of the victims. Boats not people.
Mind you, Labour's main criticism of the Rwanda farce is that it'll be an expensive flop (true: probably already is), not that it's inhuman.
