Imagine being someone who says things like that. If I were still a professor I could get my students to do a thesis on yon bhoy. He wanted to kill Rodgers 4 years ago. Now it is the beloved Ange. Now dear Brendan is his hero again. That is thesis material. 12000 words I would say. Cannot make it up!

Putin claiming this all western propoganda. When the whole world is watching it (and him) live on every TV channel. The Wagner Group are mercenaries. That word says in itself they will work for the highest bidder.

I don't think it can be anything worse than Putin and hopefully if he is overthrown negotiations can take place between Russia and the West. I was telling my pal yesterday I stayed in Odessa when we played Moldova. It is a scary place run by Mafia. They were great with us but I wouldn't like to stay there. Hopefully the tide is turning.

I don't know about you or others. But anything that can get rid Putin must be an improvement. The amount of Russian and Ukraine soldiers and civilians who have died. Hopefully the Russians will now have the strength to stand up now against him and his Billionaire friends. A civil war there is coming.

The interview with Rodgers was cringeworthy. I felt sorry for him.

I watched Rodgers press conference yesterday. I was a bit shocked tbh. He appeared nervous and the sweat was running down him. He wasn't the same guy I remember.

Went to Strathclyde University as well (a long time ago). Feel sorry for the boy.

Met the two of the guys you mentioned. I think I first met Pasty at Italia 90. Met wallpaper Ricky on a plane heading somewhere but can't remember where. He was sitting right behind me when he started singing his wallpaper song. Great characters. RIP both.

Agree and hope that is what happened. I get the shudders even thinking about going down in one of those things. I still can't imagine why anyone would do that in the first place but we are all different. Maybe people will think twice now.

Just seen that on Sky News. Poor buggers. They wanted an adventure I suppose. Like Mount Everest for some who died as well. Still a heart break for them and their families. I read that one was at Glasgow University. His pals will be devastated.

I am going up to Orkney in two weeks. The Royal Oak went down in 1939. My great uncle is still there. It is a war grave. I took my gran up there in 1999 for the 60th anniversary. But getting a sub down to view it would be mental. Why would anyone want to see that.

It is not the moon or the depth of the ocean. We cannot even look after our life here on earth as people. Wars for evil people where thousands and millions die for nothing. So sad for the people that look as if it is too late. But if I had billions I would be looking to help humanity. My hero Burns said man to man the world over, shall brothers be for all that. That was 300 years ago and it still hasn't happened.

Unless the independence parties unite here we won't see it either.

I had Rangers as favourites to win the league next season (only in my mind). But Brendan Rodgers coming back has changed my mind. He is a good manager and anyone in their right mind would want to try their hand in England nowadays. But fans are fickle right enough so he better hope that he wins titles next season. Or the Green Brigade will turn and the I told you he was a traitor will be mentioned I am sure.

Correct, my grandad told me that when I was a boy. And that wasn't yesterday !

They are totally embarassing. Some older guys dressed like that are an embarassment. Scotland top, pair of jeans for me. No need to say 'look at me'. They seem to think wearing these or having tattoos makes you more of a Scotsman. Trying to tell themselves I suppose. But each to their own.

Each to their own with hats etc. Just as long as you can still see the game.

There is only one point of last night. We won. Analysing every game would drive us crazy. On Saturday we didn't play that well but came away with the points. A lot like Celtic last season. Even when they weren't that great they still dug out a victory. That is what wins leagues. We will win in Cyprus and that will carry us through.

Aye, and call themselves legends lol. Whatever floats your boat. Can you remember yon eejit that used to wear the Indian Headress. Can't remember his name but met him a few times. I heard he had passed away a few years ago.

Correct. I remember sitting in Moldova and could hardly see the game for one. My pal pulled it out and gave the guy it back after the game. I don't think these guys that wear them realise that the Scotland fans behind them have a restricted view. The very least they could do is to take them off during the game.

Scotland handled the pitch better. Just watched the highlights again. Comical stuff. But we walk on water!!

Just checked the table. Even our goal difference looks insurmountable.

Not qualified yet but lets enjoy the moment. Brilliant stuff so far. i have followed Scotland all my life. This is the best bonded team I have seen. They all work so hard for each other. Roll on Cyprus.

Why cannot we ever do it the easy way?

I think so.
