You don't do yourself any favours, do you? What bit don't you get about.................acchhhhhhh forget it.

So did his team win???????

Although the question is about Bayern Munich, he also played at Hampden for West Germany in April 1969 (1-1).

True - just checked back. Following the last couple of years it's superb to see him back fit and playing at all, let alone to these standards.

Win your home games, draw your away games and you'll be fine.

Was that Craig Gordon's first shut-out for Celtic?

That goal made him the oldest ever scorer in the Champions League at the age of 38 years and 3 days.

Like Paolo Vanoli?

F**k it, I'll do it. Thanks to Pete and Rog for something uplifting at the end of a crap week. Hook line sounds like Who Are You meets Queen. But it works!!

That explains why that bawheid has been so quiet lately.

Honestly can't remember, you're probably right. He and Jackson played together a couple of times in qualification IIRC. McGinlay scored v Sweden at Ibrox, which often gets overlooked because of Jim Leighton's heroics that day.

John McGinlay would have been a shout for that squad, but Jackson had a good season that year so was given preference.

Was at that show, and can confirm that the sound was truly abominable for a supposed state-of-the-art auditorium.. Apparently the sound at The Kings of Leon on the previous night was poor as well.

Genuine question Bruce, where are you based?

Good point. Enjoy!!!

Thought you were leaving the country after the Ryder Cup?

Back in Tirana after ten days at home doing my constitutional duty and leaving suitably gutted at the outcome. Gutted even more to hear every one of my colleagues today (Albanian and European) saying why did you guys not go for it? I'm working for an international organisation that promotes European Integration and has sanctioned Albania's candidate status as a potential EU Member State, but whose President, Jose Manuel Barroso, came away with this: "I welcome the decision of the Scottish people to maintain the unity of the United Kingdom. This outcome is good for the united, open and stronger Europe that the European Commission stands for." Presumably because the European Commission didn't have to cope with the outcomes of a result that it didn't fancy, a la the Lisbon Treaty referenda in Denmark, Holland and Ireland a few years ago. What is clear is that the tide has turned. Although we lost this particular battle, Scotland will be a fully independent nation in due course, and it will be within my lifetime.

Thanks for making my day.

Johann Lamont wins that accolade conclusively.

Quad for me is the better album IMO, but I can fully understand why Who's Next would be the popular choice. Ach, f*** it, put both of them in there, they are both worthy. Whereas after your comment, I listened to both Tons of Sobs and Heartbreaker this afternoon, and to my ears Heartbreaker is vastly superior. P.S. Not an album, but a timeless song: Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me

Lack of manners. It's not difficult, there's a seat number printed on your ticket, so that's where you sit to watch the game. You want to sit with your mates, then book your tickets under one name. Strathclyde's finest would move them if they tried that at Hampden or any of the other venues the SFA are renting for this campaign.

Tanya Beckett on BBC World tonight only just managed to stop herself making a derogatory comment about the Scottish accent when comparing the Scottish Referendum to the Quebec one. It was pointed out to her that there was a linguistic issue in the Quebec debate which is not the case in the Scottish Referendum. 'oh............we'd better not go there.'

Just booked match tickets for Poland and notice that they've added a 'web sales fee' of £2 to the transaction. The SFA's money grabbing policy continues unabated then.
