  1. This poll isn't clear why he's unpopular (it might be because people think he's a creep or it might be something else) but unpopular he is: https://redfieldandwiltonstrategies.com/scottish-independence-referendum-westminster-voting-intention-10-11-march-2024/ I can't remember Sturgeon or pre-trial Salmond ever polling so poorly. It's alarming too that Anas Sarwar - a man with the charisma of a wardrobe - is marginally ahead of him in preferences for next FM.
  2. Robin McAlpine wrote the other week that Humza's jaikit is rumoured to be on a shoogly peg, but despite the continual fuck-ups, crap poll ratings (both for the party and for him personally) and the string of by-election failures, I sensed no obvious animosity towards him from the inner sanctum of the party. However, when an arch company-man like Wishart is publicly critical of the official line - and I've also seen a couple of happy-clapper types on Twitter questioning it too - it makes me think that perhaps there is something behind it after all.
  3. It's whacky enough to have emanated from them, but the Hate Crime Bill itself is Humza's "brainchild", dating from back when he was Justice Minister.
  4. You never know, you might get Thistle in the final. You could bring back Fergie and Knoxy to lead the team and field the Gothenberg greats - even minus the ones who are no longer here - and you'd still score past us at the moment!
  5. That's what I thought at first but no, it's real. Apparently the law comes into force on 1 April; I wonder if that date is significant. I'm hoping Humza appears live on telly at midday in a Hate Monster costume, wheeks the mask off Scooby Doo style, and goes "hahaha, got youse!"
  6. That could be a combination worth trying in one of the friendlies.
  7. I'm surprised more isn't being said about this daft bill. Going by Police Scotland's information campaign I can only assume they're so scunnered at having to enforce it, they've decided to take the piss by way of protest: https://www.scotland.police.uk/advice-and-information/hate-crime/hate-monster-campaign/
  8. Even so, Anderson is a professional footballer. You need to be a strong, determined character to get to that level. He'll have spent years in changing rooms amongst other professionals and wannabe professionals when he was younger, he'll know the score. No way is he going to go home in a huff because a bit of teasing! And anyway, why would he be getting teased anymore than anyone else?? (Unless he has a tattoo of Ant and Dec on his arse or something - which his Newcastle teammates think is perfectly normal but the Scots boys wouldn't stop laughing at him about. 🤔) Being genuinely pleased at missing out on a potentially excellent player is a bit of a "weird flex", as the weans say (I think).
  9. In somewhat better news, Gudrun Ure, who played Supergran, turns 98 today - I assumed she'd popped her clogs years ago! She must only have been in her late-50s/early-60s when she started playing the role.
  10. Tragic, isn't it? Suffered a brain aneurysm while out running, apparently. Seemingly he was well liked and very highly regarded.
  11. That's a good point. We've plenty of cover in defence and midfield but only three strikers. Injuries happen, and we've still two months of the season left. I'm not saying Conway specifically should have been called up (although I think the boy has potential) but maybe this would have been a good opportunity to look at another forward in case anything happens to Adams, Dykes or Shankland (fingers crossed they're all fit, obviously). I didn't expect many surprises and I didn't get many, apart from Liams Cooper and Kelly being included, which is fair enough at this stage. Gunn is nailed on - if he remains free of injury (can you tell I'm getting paranoid here?? 😂) but I guess Clarke is still pondering who his second and third choice goalies might be. Cooper is a bit of a strange one though, considering he hasn't even played much for Leeds lately, but maybe he's in there for cover.
  12. Patterson hasn't done anything to deserve being dropped though, that I can think of. I'm biased but the boy who's replaced him at RB looks like a CB playing out of position.
  13. Robbo starts on the bench against Man City; Joe Gomez preferred to him. Jeezo, what is it with Liverpudlian football teams playing centre-halves at full-back ahead of Scots full-backs?? 😂
  14. There must be more to Patterson's situation than meets the eye. From being overlooked in favour of a centre-half playing out of position to now not even be getting a few minutes off the bench almost defies logic.
