the germans under pressure again can they pull off the last minute escape act 2 games in a row ?

the biggest disappointment with the VAR is that it gives the players even more opportunity to behave like 5 year old kids.

the holding at that corner was ridiculous

excellent game to watch more so as i put a few quid on the germans at half time

horrible game to watch, featuring the Neymar circus.

After that draw, I'm guessing joey barton is currently whoring himself around every media outlet in the land giving his expert opinion on scottish football ?

i was listening to radio 5 in the car there. The commentary was hilarious. Chris Waddle going on a rant about the crap refs and players play acting. Also a brilliant moment when the fly problem was discussed. Apparently the venue for tonights game had suffered swarms of flies on previous nights. "The insect problem isn't too bad up here in the commentary position" "Maybe the russians poisoned them" 😀

ffs this thread is a riddy

i usually take 2 weeks off in june every 2 years you've got either a world cup or a euros to watch I'll also go for a random drive and/or wild camp up north for a few days. Excellent driving roads at 4am. It's also before all the wee bawbags are off for the summer

3 european cups on the bounce is nothing, you've got to win the SPFL to be considered successful

anyways, i thought this was about rangers away tickets ??

I don't dislike McLeish but genuinely there is something 'off' about the way he conducts himself now compared to the McLeish of old. He doesn't seem as sharp or focused. Maybe it is just age? Maybe it is the drink? Maybe it's heading the ball all the time? I'm not criticising him for it, I'm just calling it as i see it.

orange strip next ?

i'm simply questioning your claim. something like liverpool v man u generally would bring in 3x the tv audience, compared to a rangers v celtic tie

is tipping not done - generally speaking - in low paid, casual hours jobs. The tip does actually make a difference. Anybody complaining about it maybe try to survive in one of these jobs? The biggest piss take is restaurant owners who don't pass the tips onto the staff. I've refused to tip at places like this. It was all going in the owners pocket.

the police will object to this move cos it will reduce their potential for double bubble overtime

An old firm game had the highest uk tv viewing figures ? Higher than games in the english premiership ?

As I mentioned earlier I did a lot of walking and camping in my younger days due to being in the cubs and then the scouts. We never bothered with the chemical toilets unless we went to one of the more proper organized camps. One such event was a weekend camp somewhere in southern Ayrshire. Lots of scout troops from all over Ayrshire were in attendance. A chemical toilet was mandatory, much to our annoyance. We drew straws to see who got the job of setting it up. The wee tent for privacy and then the plastic bucket and the chemical stuff. There was a running joke with who would have to use it first to “drop the kids off at the pool”. Fortunately it wasn’t me, probably do the anti-diarrhoea tablets I was taking. I came prepared. Finally a fellow scout had to take the plunge. Lets call him Billy. Billy returned rather quickly ranting and raving at the guy who had set up the toilet. Turns out he had filled the toilet to the brim with the undiluted chemical stuff. You were supposed to dilute it. Billy had squatted down hoping to execute a quick dispatch. Unfortunately it splashed back covering his nads in the blue chemical. Billy’s now running about concerned he’s going to be dyed blue for life or that the chemical would burn him. Of course we’re all killing ourselves laughing. On the last day I lost the drawing of straws to empty the bucket. I remember vividly as I emptied out the bucket into a farmers muck spreader ours was bright blue compared to the browny green sludge of everybody elses.

I spent a lot of my teenage years walking and camping. Without a doubt the key to it being enjoyable is knowing what you’re doing and having the correct gear. No offence dandydunn but your approach to this is recipe for disaster. You’ll probably have one crap night cold and wet in a tent and that will put everybody off for life. I’ve seen a colleague of mine make this exact mistake with his family. And, yeah the midgies are terrible. We used to walk and camp mainly sept to may to avoid them. If you have never been camping before I would suggest trying glamping as a half way step first. See how well the family react to the great outdoors. Whatever you do - have fun!

Bye bye Kingsley

Proper cup final day too. Wall to wall sunshine

irrespective of the motives or the timing of this accusation Rangers really need to get a new PR person

brilliant, another statement from Ibrox dissapointed, nothing to see here, whataboutery and then offering advice on financial matters and youth development 😀

didn't recall TB's passing being so close to the manchester incident time flies
