If only they could somehow both lose. A lot of utter scum in both sets of those clubs supports by all accounts.

If he's got any sense he'll take it. Aww FFS is this eejit back again ? Thought he said he was never posting on here again cause the Gers fans were all getting bullied And that's when he wasn't banging on about how proud he was of being "a true blue proddie"

Well, was there ? I've read about and sometimes hear people taking about how the sixties and seventies were some kind of sublime by-gone era for Scottish comedians and the like. But was it ? Looking up some of this old stuff I'm wondering what on earth they were on about. However I'm a moaning young cünt who wasn't there at the time and my generation has vastly different tastes. So what the hell do I know ? So, can anyone explain just what was the appeal back then for stuff like... Glen Daly causing thousands of ears to bleed across Scotland with his nails down the blackboard voice, murdering old time music hall songs. Andy Stewart and "The White Heather Club". Still frequently brought up by older Britnats who hate Scottish music, song and culture generally. Was it really that bad ? That fücking cünt Andy Cameron. Lex McLean's routines about "giving the wife a good slap". Chic Murray's five hour long jokes about women with long noses which Billy Connolly says was hilarious. I didn't get it. Anyone old enough to remember the once popular show "The One O'Clock Gang" from the sixties ? According to my Gran it was "so unbelievably awful that you couldn't help but watch it !". On a positive note, my folks assure me that Jimmy Logan "was top notch" and that Fulton and Milroy's "Francie & Josie" was a great stage act to watch.

"We'll Be Coming" was good fun to sing ten years ago but it's had it's day now. We're a country with a massive catalogue of rousing folk songs to belt out and yet apart from Loch Lomond at half time, we don't use them at all. Have posted this before (stole it from Runrig) but would it really be so damn hard to get a chorus of "Alba, Alba !!" going ? "Al-a-pa, al-a-pa !!" I think that would be brilliant to hear. Jackson Carlaw and the anti-Gàidhlig brigade would also be fecking raging

Swanson will turn thirty just before Hogmanay which a lot of people forget. Hardly "one for the future". After the England game we should be ruthless, ditch the old guard and focus on getting young Scots the international experience they need.

So your angry at him "for breaking ranks" then.

He has been pretty blunt about it in his autobiography.and several times in TV and radio interviews. Don't know what your problem is. Quite a few bigots amongst your support hate Butcher because he correctly called out an unsavoury practice of his old club. You do agree that Rangers old signing policy was despicable don't you ? There is no defence at all for it.

I'd like to see Harper get some club football at a decent level first before we get him involved but I certainly would not write him off just yet as some are doing. Same goes for Ryan Gauld. If only they two could just get some games and we could get a better look at them, argh !

He did but only got his cap after moving to Sheffield Wednesday. Can't believe no Scottish Premiership side tried to get him on loan from PNE during the summer.

Who are these other these Rangers players that have openly condemned the sectarian signing policy then ? Only Souness, Butcher and Ray Wilkins have ever done so to my knowledge anyway. Every time Butcher talks on TV or the radio about how disgusting he found the sectarian signing policy to be there is always a backlash online against him for apparently being "a traitor" and "the tim sympathiser". Clearly still very hard for some Rangers fans to accept that it went on.

One of the Tory MP's (Charles Gray) got really upset at the SNP's Deidre Brock for calling the ship "it" as opposed to "she". And another Tory nutter (Gerald Howarth) together with the Ulster loyalist saddos started growling when she brought up the cost of this madness and the fact that the sun set on the empire a long time ago.

Could give John Souttar a shot at that role too. He's also younger than Mulgrew and offers more long term.

Pro-EU and anti-EU Conservative MPs were arguing amongst themselves today in the Commons. And don't worry, yesterday they were arguing that bringing back the royal yacht would do wonders for the help the UK's trade worldwide

Stick with the current squad for the England game. However, after that, go for a policy of "blooding" young(ish) Scots in the senior team. The Under 21s will have to take a back seat. I'd like to see more caps, more experience for Oliver Burke, Callum Paterson, Barrie McKay, Keiren Tierney and John McGinn. A few suggestions for players to get in and play from the start in both friendly and competitive games: John Souttar, Jamie Walker, Jack Hamilton, Jordan McGhee, Chris Cadden and Sam Nicholson.

Fair play to Terry Butcher for at least for being one of the select few former Rangers players who has never hidden his sheer disgust at the one time sectarian signing policy they had. I gather quite a few of "the peepul" hate him for supposedly "breaking ranks".

Took a very average Wales (Giggs, Bellamy + perhaps Speed & Hartson being their only players of note) painfully close to qualification for Euro 2004. Manged to get wins against teams such as Germany and Italy and draw with Argentina too. You may have also forgotten how his Welsh team, spanked us 4-0 in Cardiff. Hughes is worth considering.

I take it Hughes' record as Welsh national manager escaped you then ?

Mick McCarthy is an excellent suggestion and would certainly get my vote Pearson is a borderline unhinged, bully though. Best avoided I wouldn't have the slightest issue with an English manager. In fact anyone with a brain shouldn't have any issue with the manager being English. For anyone to oppose us having an English manager, it's frankly just outright xenophobia.

I'd be over the moon if we could get Eddie Howe or Sean Dyche to take over. But that's me being a fantasist. Two grasping at straws suggestions. If Mark Hughes or Aitor Karanka become available soon, the SFA should at least ask them if they are interested. If not then fine, move on but it wouldn't do any harm to ask.

Great Too many people still think that around the world people view Scottish football managers and coaches as being football experts who are a cut above the rest. Em, they don't. The current crop of Scottish managers is fecking dire and that's why we need to end the "Scottish managers only" tradition. Then you've got the idiots who somehow genuinely believe that Dalglish, Ferguson, Smith, McLeish, Souness and Jordan actually want to manage our third rate, pish national team.

Do you agree we should settle for another homegrown mediocrity ?

Em, any number of foreign managers who could be interested ? Why does it have to be a Scot ?

That's the best laugh I've had in ages.

I suppose you'd also have Halliday and Holt starting in midfield for Scotland ?

Aww naw ! You can't throw our traditions oot the windae ! It's got to be "one of oor ain". These foreigners come in with heir fancy ideas thinking they know better than oor guys........ The above is pretty much the average response from those who oppose a foreigner managing Scotland.
