Have you noticed the technological improvements brought in for this tournament? Not just the goal line technology and line spray for free kicks, but the ability for teams to now play against other whilst physically located in different stadiums? It sounds incredible, but I keep reading how England will be faced with a dodgy pitch, intense heat and humidity, malaria and thousands of miles travelling to Manaus, whilst Italy apparently don't have any of those issues to contend with.

Another illustration of just how ineffective and amateurish our commercial department is. Just a few weeks until the start of the season and we don't have a sponsor for either the right or the left sock. A disgrace !

ForzaCaley is quite clearly extracting the urine....anyone seriously think a person could be that stupid?

Malky Thomson is assistant to Barry Ferguson at Clyde!

The South Africa World Cup was the least entertaining one ever (OK I wasn't around in 1930, but Scarlet Pimple tells me that one was decent enough) but if last night's opening game is anything to go by this could be a very good tournament.

If it keeps the club in a healthy position financially whats the problem with a name on the back and front. Well done to the club for sorting out another good sponsor.

This really illustrates the farcical nature of the process we are going through. The referendum is about the ongoing future of Scotland and not the make up of the Government for just the next 5 years. Yet it appears that we may choose to discard 300 years of history as part of the United Kingdom based on the fact that at one particular point in time in Scotland a particular Scottish politician is more popular than a particular English politician. The implications of this are just too depressing to contemplate at the moment. No offence, but for many those 300 years would be quite gladly discarded, and it has nothing to do with who happens to be in power at the moment. Indeed the prospect of such a break is far from depressing; it would be a thing of great joy and the fulfillment of a lifetime's wish.

Given the financial state of Scottish football imagine the club trying to earn some much needed money. Absolutely shocking.

Ffs! I realise it's extra money for the club but thats now a main sponsor, short sponsor and now a 'back of the shirt' sponsor. Cringe!!! How long before we start looking like a Japanese pro-league side, all for a little few more pennies

McKay did run dry but I'd put that more down to the playing style robbing him of chances more so than an almighty downturn in form.

One subtle difference DD. Scottish media aren't networked. If Scotland are playing you get your own commentators for the English regions. If England are playing we get Clive Tyldesley....... But yes, I think most of it is healthy banter and the hatred thing is exaggerated by media looking for a few idiots to provide a 'man bites dog' story. If there was as much anti-Englishness as the Daily Mail would have us believe, no English person would ever want to live here. I wish the England lads well, the same guys I watch on MOTD every week. But if Scotland aren't there, the emotional side is completely absent.

Not too bad
