Sounds like a no nonsense sort of chap!

I'm with you on that. They used the actual transcript from the trial. They obviously sped things up a bit, edited things out. Iirc it was meant to be a four day trial, not less than four hours! Nonetheless, and the lawyers also said this, it gave an insight into the jury system that we usually aren't privy to, and raises some serious questions about it.

Even more bizarre if that turns out to be true.

Slightly off topic but where would you rate him amongst the pantheon of Celtic managers?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even when you were 3-1 up with minutes to go I felt that there was every chance you could blow it. On the plus side I thought Hoilett played well but I'm guessing he must be gutted now that Warnock has gone.

Aye but what about Mathieson's roaming charges...?

I think that's a pretty universal opinion except for Celtic supporters. Aberdeen will have to make an announcement in the next few days otherwise they're going to look really stupid. Strange timing, this might have been the result that kick started their season.

If Schoemann hadn't committed an unnecessary foul we'd have stretched the lead early in the second half and it would have been difficult for Italy to come back. I think Townsend's time is up, who replaces him, no idea.

I know comments have been made already but it's probably worth opening up a separate thread just to work out what's going on.

Exciting last two minutes but disappointing result. On form the Irish will beat us and in spite of beating England this will be judged overall a poor Six Nations performance.

Not looking good

I note the woman who oversaw the Newcastle takeover says she reckons a Saudi team will be in the Champions League sooner rather than later. Money talks.

Both look uninspiring. I'm gobsmacked people actually get paid to come up with some of these designs. But we all have different opinions.

Repeat a lie enough times and people will believe it, we really are in Goebbels territory with this level of dishonesty.

Same thought crossed my mind. Undoubtedly if it had been an SNP minister in Westminster or Holyrood the normal culprits would be baying for blood for the next couple of weeks.

Another Tory opening their mouth before consulting their brain. Sunak was talking about dangers to politicians but here is a Conservative Peer making allegations that led to death threats. He needs to sort his own house out.

What a waste of taxpayers money. Should be coming out of her pocket https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/06/taypayers-foot-the-bill-after-academics-libel-action-against-minister

I know matches are a while ahead but I dare say they'll be calls for us not to play one of these teams unless something changes in the meantime.

And more brain cells.

Are they going to do another exclusive about how David Beckham has retained his English accent?

Not sure. Might have been because he's not really a 400m runner, maybe seem as a bit of an ego trip, denying another athlete the chance of medal?

Better fitting kit plus more cameras, more close ups, make athletes more aware of their appearance. Even Noah Lyles had his nails painted!

And I'm not convinced we always have as much 'freedom' as we think, when people have never learnt to cook because of family or lack of lessons in school, when good food is expensive, when all the 'bad' stuff is cheap, when we're bombarded with ads for takeaways and processed food, how much real choice do we have? We choose what we 'want' but 'wants' can be manufactured by hidden persuaders otherwise these companies wouldn't spend so much on advertising.

Excellent stuff by Kerr, good stuff by Reekie (nice to see her get a medal on the world stage but I wonder if she'll be a bit disappointed). Other takes: Bol is phenomenal!
