Series Worth Watching
Ally Bongo replied to village idiot's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
There is no doubt it is a classic series and probably one of the best things TV has ever gave us. However from what we know now there is much omitted and it is a propaganda piece that tries not to upset anyone Albert Speer is the prime example - given a deal by West and allowed to play the "good German" till he was dead -

Who are you ? The font of all authority ? It's less than 48 hours since a supposedly pish team scored first against a supposedly better team and what was the result ? Crack on though
-
It's only stupid if you are a happy clapper or brain deid Looking back on the qualification campaign still gives me the shivers thinking how easily it could have gone the other way - and lets be honest since 1998 the last campaign was an exception If you think Scotland qualifying quickly makes us a fabbo team - or if you are part of the "if we beat Spain we can beat anybody" brigade - or if you think these bad results are just meaningless games - then you are in for another disappointment We were as lucky as fuck and thinking we weren't makes you part of the problem and not the solution because since we qualified we have not progressed Can you imagine any other half decent International team going on a massive run of non wins before a major tournament ? Naw - me neither
-
Probably not - they do on twitter though ...

Fuck off can have multiple meanings

You are kidding yourself if you believe that Yes we qualified early however we were a defenders slip and a cocky substitution away from us finishing 3rd
-
Imperious is stretching it a bit 99 times out of 100 we don't win that game in Norway - They were coasting and took Haaland off Then there is the Spanish defender slipping - allowing Robertson to cut it back for McTominay. We have carried some amount of luck It really is fine margins between qualifying and finishing 3rd
-
The way we qualified still gives me the fucking fear looking back - we were very, very, very fortunate and have carried a mahoosive amount of luck But i already agreed with that in my previous post
-
Would any "top" nation stick with a manager after a run of results like that ? The answer by the way is no. We are no longer a top nation and as has been shown over the last 30 years - failure is acceptable to us Yes - the 7 games without a win have been "meaningless" - That's one way to look at it i guess going forward
-
In fairness not many countries would hang onto a manager after the string of results like that We will - failure is acceptable
-
Two reasons 1 - Reverse Jinx 2 - Getting it ready for full time - because make no bones about it, defeat raises serious questions

Fucking shameful to lose a goal against that mob

Adverts Mainly adverts on Youtube or in game adverts The Youtube adverts actually make me determined not to buy anything i see if the opportunity came up And as for the in game adverts - i take it that they are not under the same legal obligations as other adverts as some are just downright lies They even had Kate Beckinsale in one - her career must be over

Correct Firstly - McNeil's tweet gives a link to an article by The Times which going on previous form makes it highly dubious Secondly - It says it will be after the GE (when it's too late) -

http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/international/scotland/scotland-2000-2010.html There was nothing understated with Diadora's 2007 set of kits. The new "home" outfit was all-navy with metallic gold trim. The change kit was in all-white with a pale blue St Andrew's cross on the chest, an inspired interpretation of a patriotic theme, worn for the first time against Italy, in Bari, on 28 March 2007 in the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. https://www.vintagefootballshirts.com/blog/my-favourite-scotland-football-kits/112 Scotland 2007-08 Away Kit by Diadora When you start choosing shirts for a best ever Scotland kits blog you think to yourself, ‘don't just choose a shirt based on a memory’. I'm not sure if this is the case with the 2007-08 away kit, but you have to have it in there, and I'm sure all Scotland fans would agree with that. The design is actually a strong one with the Scotland flag represented with a Saltire cross design across the front of the shirt, but honestly, it’s that James McFadden goal against France that seals it’s place as one of the best Scotland shirts of all-time. Simply incredible. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7189069/pink-tartan-hooped-shorts-scotland-kits-revisited/ Diadora brought this away kit out in 2007, perhaps because having one Saltire on the players' chest wasn't patriotic enough. And finally to top your lies off -

? Netanyahu is an "ally" of the west and poses no danger to us - we will probably face repercussions from extremists because of his actions but that's a different matter The problem is - If we were of the Zionist mindset like Netanyahu would we be doing anything different ? The Israeli's gave up trying to find a solution to Palestine maybe 20 years or so ago - when the settlements ramped up They realised that the Islamists in Palestine were never ever going to accept the state of Israel and the result is what we are seeing now Ironically it does have a "final solution" ring to it -

Nae sense If you are Putin setting up a false flag operation you would get characters that can pass as "Ukranian Nazis" and make sure they don't survive to tell the tale This also is strange from ISIS - normally they dont't allow themselves to be taken alive Going by the state of them after being in Police custody it looks as if they were being "persuaded" to say they were in the payroll of Kiev with no joy
