  1. Ok for manager and players but the rest of us can speculate and forecast to our hearts content. The heid necromancer will be on in a minute to shut me up.
  2. Willie Henderson and Ralphie Brand?
  3. I can only go by experience. Labour, in the end, is always worse though the current assembly of feeble numbskulls masquerading as conservative are running them close, well nigh indistinguishable. Many Liberals pre-1964 were sturdy advocates of standing on your own feet but always mindful of the need for public service and to aid the deserving poor. Then Peter Hain got at them. I suspect one of our number is a throwback to better times.
  4. Possibly it’s celtic who are not in the right frame of mind.
  5. Maybe so but best bump him off all the same, eh? Just in case.
  6. Not a friend of the West according to the Telegraph but a different kind of Russian from Putin.
  7. Great winger, not such a good manager despite the Kilmarnock miracle.
  8. These fellows are having a go. The trouble is that Jews and Israel don’t have the sympathy of the indigenous population let alone the tidal wave of immigrants. https://www.webelieveinisrael.org.uk/contact
  9. An absolute great for the Airdrieonians, the Rangers and the Airdrieonians again. The best passer of the ball I ever saw and that includes di Stefano, Blanchflower, Haynes and White. Never a more thrilling sight at Ibrox than Ian McMillan clawing the ball down from the air, pivoting and rifling a pass between defenders for Alex Scott to race onto, all in one movement. Scot Symon’s instruction to defenders: “Just give it to Ian or Jim”
  10. Why such an exceedingly low I.Q. reply?
  11. https://stephendaisley.substack.com/p/while-you-were-laughing?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-restack-comment&r=1gyvsb Might be a good idea to email Historic Environment Scotland as well. https://www.historicenvironment.scot/
  12. Undeniable. Some will not be.
  13. Couldn’t resist, old bean.
  14. It’s a conclusion amply justified by the evidence of the facts as the same may be identified by reading a broad range of informed opinion adjusted for bias and speculation. All sources are readily available for you to consider after which you may agree or disagree with me but neither of us will know for sure until mid 2026.
  15. India tottering at 33-3 recover to 253-4, Jadeja 90 no. He’s caused England a lot of bother over the years with bat and ball. Ashwin is something similar. They must be retiring soon.
  16. I don’t think he needs the big button. He should be able, eventually, to achieve his primary objective but it’s costing a bit more than he expected.
  17. Telly highlights showed Rangers playing some football equal to anything I’ve seen before but it should have been six, minimum. Dessers scores some goals exquisitely fashioned out of nothing and not what you would expect from someone of his build but he doesn’t get many of the instinctive striker’s goals through a ruck of defenders in the ‘keeper’s box.
  18. I know what you mean but you could have a wonder ‘keeper and rubbish defenders.
  19. Why such an exceedingly low I.Q. reply?
  20. I think you mean the Clans Mackenzie and Cameron. The Seaforth Highlanders regiment wasn’t raised until 1778 in the laich town of Elgin by Kenneth Mackenzie, Earl of Seaforth, as the 72nd Regiment of Foot. The Camerons came later, as usual, in 1793 as the 79th. The ‘15 and the ‘45 are devilish when it comes to the cast list. A clan might be “out” but the chief might be “in” and vice versa and differently at either event. A sort of Highlandman’s hokey cokey if I can use that term.
  21. They were, as were all the Highland Regiments before the rifle put an end to such finery. The drummers in the pipes and drums of 4 Scots, descendants of the Seaforth, still wear scarlet doublets. They looked better in green. Not emerald green, obviously, a much darker shade than that. Archer Green it’s called, I think.
  22. Because some jolly horrid people might say bad things about him?
  23. Did that constable force entry without a warrant or invitation?
