The Italian for “drummer” is “batterista” and that’s the best thing I’ve learned in years If I follow you, you can consider yourself special

The history of Britoil is incredible We couldn’t even find a buyer for all the shares Just another shitty Thatcher decision that’s whitewashed out of history by her fanboys

It’s actually pretty simple We underestimated fear and stupidity Fear means that - if somebody tells you something bad might happen (right or wrong) - it unnerves you Stupidity lets you think “if I do nothing that bad thing can’t happen” but you never think of the worse things that now might occur

If someone flies the Scotland flag then there’s either a football game on or they’ll want to tell you “everybody’s welcome in Scotland” whilst frotting themselves senseless about a hard border north of Carlisle…

Nice guy Missed too many chances to be reliable, and poor at holding the ball up At the end of the day, we have to sell the players other teams want so decent money for a 30yo There’s other players I’d have sold before him but nobody wants them…

2 x 50k+ stadia Income < Bournemouth even after boosts from transfers & CL direct entry (Celtic) and Europa runs (Rangers) Prem money changes the game & makes clubs attractive to quality players. Would either or both survive with Prem money? Probably - there only needs to be 3 worse teams 🤷♂️

The “discussion” on immigration is so manipulated it makes my eyes hurt The media as a unit WILL NOT SAY we need immigrants because there’s jobs we don’t want to do, a tidal wave of people approaching retirement and a birth rate below that needed to sustain the population We have ZERO choice 🤷♂️

Been talking to fans of both sides up here about whether someone else could win the league Probably not, but it might be close and the difference could be squad size Both Hibs and Hearts have good first 11 and some subs but injuries etc might kill them

No chance But Rodgers looks disinterested too We drew with you last year and Celtic lost to a late Bayern Munich goal The drop in quality at both clubs in such a short time is incredible

He is And he did pretty well today. Lots of heart, some good tackles and knocked a few Celtic players about It’ll have done his confidence good to play in that kind of atmosphere but he didn’t get much joy out wide. Celtic doubled up on him & we’re really poor just now so he got little help

It’s all bollocks accepted as absolute truths Reform are using immigration scare tactics (in a country with a low birth rate that NEEDS immigrants) to chase power That power will be used to do very bad things like reduce workers rights, reintroduce fracking and offer benefits to their rich backers
