I want to see the SPL, the SFA and the police ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING about the Old Firm and their songs. I want to see the ref stop the game if necessary while the police empty the away end if that's what it takes. Only once the authorities start taking draconian action will people wake up and take notice. And if it makes the national news, then so what... it's Scotland's secret shame after all. PS And when you've chucked 'em out, make sure they get back on their buses and head straight out of town!

Sheffield United... after Wolves the most hated team in England... C'mon Roscoe, stuck into these *******.

If you want some REAL tub-thumping loutish commentating, then try Talk Sport, your self-styled official World Cup station. I tried it for a laugh on the way home last night and not only was it amateurish in the extreme compared to the BBC, but there was no crowd noise whatsoever, which suggested that they were watching the game on TV and broadcasting their thoughts over the air as they went along. Motson may be irritating at times but he's a league above these guys.... :016: :016: :016: :016:

The Captain's unfortunate injury begs the question... "how the fvck do you get a wheelchair onto the submarine (and indeed, how the fvck do you get the bvgger out again in an emergency)? Will IHE be banned from his own feckin ship by H&S regs? We shall see.... ;)

Ah... This explains why SOS ran a story yesterday saying that he'd phoned Lawwell and told him he'd be honouring his contract and playing on for another season.... ??? Bet the editor's well chuffed with that reporter! ;D

The article speaks volumes of Charlie and the whole business set up (on the footballing side).

Hey Ross, we might as well get on the wind-up... how do you fancy a wee trip dowh south on 5th July? 8)

Having watched Portugal tonight, I'd say it's time the press got off Sven's back. There aren't any 'easy' games anymore and getting three points is by far the biggest prize in your first match. A win on Thursday, followed by another draw for Sweden, will do just nicely.

What do you think? ;)

Ross, when you've been subjected to the BBC hype and the Scottish backlash in equal doses for as long as I have (29 years!!!) you'll just leave both sides to get on with it. The media will never stop claiming that England are worldbeaters (when they're not) one second, then slating them the next, whilst the Scots will increasingly attach themselves to every other small nation that qualifies for the finals, in the knowledge that it could easily be a generation before Scotland qualify again. I've said it before, but you've only to look at the population stats (falling birthrate, increasing obesity, increasing addiction to alcohol and other 'substances', selling off of parklands etc etc) to recognise that whilst other so-called smaller nations are getting better, Scotland are going backwards. And whilst I'm at, England will be in the same boat by 2020 if they keep letting foreigners into the Premiership at the current rate... >:(

I was a frequent visitor to the Sports Injuries Clinic when I lived in Cumbernauld and on one occasion, the doc was telling me that the number one sport for snapped achilles tendons is badminton, the reason being that the lunging forward form the back of the court puts an enormous strain on the calf and hence the achilles. I'm sorry to hear of your predicament old chap and I wish you a speedy recovery. I suggest yow take up bowls in future... :o

I have BTTB on vinyl... mid 80s I would guess. 'Long Gone' is still one of my favourite GT tracks and a surefire winner to get the crinkles onto the dance floor. :-

I think Scotland is rising as a direct result of so many fecking houses being built in the south east of England. In fact, on this basis, I would expect Ben Nevis to rival Mount Everest before County reach the dizzy heights of the SPL.... :017:

You never told me you fancied Dunker, lad! :004:

The place in the market was still going the day before the Highland March started... that would have been the end of April.

For a minute there, General, I thought you were going to tell us that the rising sea levels meant TCS would be under six feet of water by the end of the year....

The best place to get it done in Inverness is the wee T-shirt shop in the Victorian market, next to the model shop. He does a really professional job and it only takes an hour.

It's not the first time the Grocer has conducted his business through the media and I've no doubt it won't be the last. I congratulate Charlie and Grassa for the way they've conducted themselves and here's hoping our boys get the chance to stick it right up Brewster on the opening day! :016: :016: :016:

I thought grooming was an offence... :004:

Better make sure yow clean yow shoes in the morning then... :004:

Birds Eye fish fingers... :005:

It's magnificent! I can't wait to get my hands on the summer's most sought after football accessory...

Do I spot a split infinitive? :004:

Gringo Junior and I bumped into him at Central Station just after Jnr got off the train from Birmingham the day before HM3. I think he was still with Stirling in those days. Same laid back guy... :011:

And Meadowbank, not that Pearce Flynn will have ever heard of the place... :024:
