So did I but I’ve kind of grown out of it now. Looking forward to 5/11 all the same.

And never underestimate the Wanderers.

Last fellows to do it were United 07/08 and 08/09. Since the war they have won the title in consecutive seasons three times and in three consecutive seasons twice. Liverpool have done consecutive seasons twice and three consecutive seasons once. The title didn’t leave the city of Liverpool between 81/82 and 87/88. Other back to back winners are Portsmouth, Wolves and Chelsea. No Arsenal.

They’ve spent three fortunes on players who on the face of it were excellent signings - Blind, Schneiderlin, Depay + + but it hasn’t worked. Not that I’m bothered.

Thst must be a super-fast telly you’ve got, Compo. Game’s on Monday.

R4 Today sports presenter, Gary Richardson, well off message. “Rangers unbeaten in ten, celtic creaking”. Roddy Forsyth came on to restore the balance. It’s Boyata’s fault. GR might have said something other than “creaking”, I didn’t quite catch it. That was the gist of it, though.

Well done, Rangers, but maybe not enough.

They got the club lawyer onto that pretty quickly.

I’m with buster on this. Most of us can manage the reading without a picture to help. Some are really funny. But not many.

There are too many Englishmen to pin any particular label on them. I know what many SNP followers call them, though. Seriously, are you offended if anyone calls you a mean Jock? Can we compete with Yorkshire tykes in meanness?

I am what I am, asil. I just have to live with it.

You don’t need to be a lawyer to do the film clip part of the business. It needs a panel of one retired referee and two former players, one a defender and one a forward. They should not have played and the ref should not have whistled in Scotland. I like pete’s idea of videos of the whole match. That would be a day’s work to watch the footage and highlight any incident and a half day’s work to decide if a complaint should be made. Over to the lawyer chap after that. In fact it still doesn’t need a lawyer. Just a guy who is competent with rules and paperwork. Was Jim Farry a lawyer?

Forget “timplosion”. It’s been forecast for more than twenty years and hasn’t happened nor will it soon.

London couldn’t care less.

Be ashamed. Be very, very ashamed. Timmish style weaselling. But it’s ok. I know you’re only kidding.

Burnley lose three goals at home. I rush to judgement and nominate them for relegation. Now I’ve said that, they should be ok.

.... Ms Clare Whyte, Procurator Fiscal Depute. Suggestions on another board of previous appointment at Harper McLeod and post-graduate study at Notre Dame University, Indiana. That doesn’t worry me (yet) but HM? Experience of grassroots football, apparently. Why does this appointment have to be a lawyer?

Outstanding game on the card but three interesting ones are the Wolves at Leicester - avoiding defeat would be good - and the Everton and Liverpool games. Everton might be ready at last and the likes of Palace had a habit of upsetting Liverpool in recent times but I have the feeling that Liverpool have added iron to class.

Who did the voiceover? I never heard Mr Struth speak but I imagine his delivery would have been more measured.

Should there be a Talksport Musings thread? It’s not the rich vein that PQ is. Brazil is a sellick man and makes no attempt to hide it but he’s not unfair. White purports to be neutral and effusively praises celtic to prove it. I don’t think he’s been turned. His problem is hysteria which I doubt is curable.

Ah well. No Parkhead euro-glory night for PSG this season.

Unimpressive.

Got it non-stop but only after becoming manager.

Not directed at DMMA, only presenting alternatives.

My recollection is that Rangers supporters are inclusive moaners. I still hear the cries from more than half a century ago. “Ach, you, Baxter.” “Wilson, ya diddy.” Yes, even them.
