Karl Wallinger of the Waterboys and World Party departs at 66. Goodbye jumbo...

Statistically two teams will meet each other every three semi final draws, so they are more likely to avoid each other. I've no doubt in the old days of behind closed doors draws there was jiggery pokery going on, but not since they've been televised.

Celtic played Rangers in the semis last year!

3 years out of 4. St Mirren on penalties during Covid as well 😖

Kenny Dalglish was in every Scotland team from May 1976 to February 1981. A 43 game record for consecutive caps. He did miss a few games v England in the 80s, as mentioned in the above interview, due to them clashing with the European Cup final.

Hopefully that's his brainfart for the season out of the way 🤞

Would explain Killie's performance 😖

Rumours kicking about that McInnes is going back to Pittodrie.

Really disappointing performance. Highlight was the Killie pie on the road up.

Given it was Brighton they were playing there could be different connotations...

Good to know that bonkers VAR decisions are not the sole preserve of Scottish refs.

Inspired by Marvin...

I first saw the story on the ITN news last night, they showed the minister on VT but didn't even mention her name!

I'd settle for a swimsuit photoshoot as compen. Thought Malcolm had made the Herald for a minute 😄

Tends to be a thing in the neighbouring villages rather than the town itself. When I was a kid in Kilmaurs I used to watch them pass and be quite impressed with the sound and colour of it, oblivious to the history behind the marches. I also used to wonder why the kids I recognised on the march were amongst the thickest at the school.

Cheers! I wasted half my dinner break trying to work it out from Wikipedia. 12 of the 16 League B teams go into the playoffs. And as Switzerland aren't eligible it's possible to finish bottom of the group and reach the playoffs. Bizarre system!

Ian Rush would agree with this.

Serbia, Slovakia and Israel in our Euro 25 qualifying group.

Definitely. Really surprised me how many have sold for an inferior package to last time. I bought some individual tickets yesterday but there wasn't that great a seat selection left at all.

The second was always my favourite... Amazing construction for the time...

I've been saying for a while (probably on this thread already) but for me the simple fix is to punish all handball offences with an indirect free kick, with the exception of when it's a clearly deliberate act (eg. Suarez v Ghana). When a team are getting a penalty for the merest flick off a defender's arm, the sanction is far heavier than it should be. (Also under current VAR stipulations it would mean most handballs wouldn't be pulled up by the video refs).

Just the four trebles in a row wasn't it?

Thought the north east was free of this cultural phenomenon?

The old Scottish Labour tactic, depending where they were campaigning SNP stood for "Soon No Pope" or "Soon No Protestants".

If only Gary O'Connor had a World Cup winners medal.
