  1. Breach of the peace Compo. If you hear heavy footsteps plodding up your garden path and a big knock on the door, don’t answer it.
  2. Twice at least and especially in the lead up to the goal he was in a good position to receive a pass but when it came, he was fractionally late in taking the ball. Maybe he was thinking about what to do with it once he’d got it but the really good footballers know that at the split second of delivery.
  3. Defensive organisation is poor. McRorie is not quite awake today. Concentrate lad. The ball might come towards you. Alfredo would be dynamite with a little help up front. And the rest of the team needs to learn that at least one pass in five should be forward. The orange and blue is great. The football is poor.
  4. I refer of course to the hymn. Gonzo, your resistance against jumper fascist terror is a commendable achievement. Stout fellow.
  5. Some aspects of Christmas are unpleasant intrusions into a comfortable daily life. This must be the worst. I thought I might feel better for writing that but I’m still raging mental.
  6. de Bruyne and Aguero are wonderful players for City but the vital cog in the machine is David Silva. Ian McMillan with an extra power pack.
  7. You’ll be rich on Monday. If I must, I would tweak the scores as follows: Wolves 1-4 Liverpool. (How I hope not) Chelsea 3-0 Leicester Hammers 3-1 Watford Everton 1-2 ‘Spurs West Ham are playing consistently well in a most un-Hammerslike fashion
  8. Believe what you believe chaps but many left that wagon long ago. Any heathen MSPs going to oppose that?

    I’m so relieved about the gingerbread men.
  10. Corbyn is a stupid man. Let’s go with the weight of evidence from lip-readers that under his breath he said “stupid woman” to himself, not to Mrs May, not to the House, not even to a colleague. No problem with that, surely. So, what does he do? He denies it. That’s where he’s gone wrong. He should have said: “Mr Speaker, exasperated by the lack of a substantive reply from the Prime Minister, I uttered ‘stupid woman’ to myself. While I doubt the wisdom of many of her policies I can make it clear she is not stupid and I apologise for having offended honourable and right honourable members opposite.” Situation defused instead of dragging on to today. It’s comparatively low key in contrast to the screaming and fainting from the sisters on the Labour benches if Johnston had said something similar about Diane Abbott.
  11. Lennon surprisingly accurate in his post match comments. Probably feart that he might get barged by Stevie again.
  12. Tedious. Wonder why Hibs fans haven’t turned out to see their team.
  13. Uproar in the Houe of Commons at Prime Minister’s Questions when Mr Corbyn appeared to mouth “stupid woman” to himself at the end of one of the PM’s answers. I wonder if there would be similar outrage if Mrs May had muttered “stupid man”? What’s wrong with having an opinion? He didn’t even look at her when he said it.
  14. Bearger’s map at #12 shows the narrow footbridge at the approaches to the ground. Walked over it many times to a match and never knew it was called Crawford Bridge. Typical toff Embra name for what would just be a bridge anywhere else. There used to be an old guy with longish white hair in the 1950s who stood there on matchdays singing the songs of the day mostly Kenneth Mackellar stuff with a wee dash of Crosby. Trained voice but fallen on hard times. I doubt anyone remembers. Compo mibbees. EDIT. For the avoidance of doubt I meant the perhaps Compo remembers, not that Compo was the singer.
  15. Nobody needs to smear anyone who is already covered in mud. The debate having risen to a level above the limits of my comprehension, I must now retire except to answer a question and pose two others: Yes. Would I choose to live in the US rather than Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, Saudi, Brazil, Japan, either Korea and many others? Yes. Would I choose to live in NZ rather than the US? Naturally. Would I choose
  16. I have none of the above. I don’t know what two of them are. I must be in poverty. I blame Mrs Thatcher.
  17. Very good, 26th. Pity any PQ peckers looking in won’t understand a word.
  18. Not really. You’ll recall that Orwell’s pigs introduced systems and methods and made the farm profitable before corruption set in. Can’t see a Corbyn government doing that.
  19. JR-M is a Tory Corbyn. Entertaining in his own way but you’d never let him drive the ‘bus. I’m all in favour of horny-handed sons of toil in government. They’ve actually done something in their lives unlke students of politics and party hacks. Your earlier reference to French street protest shows that Miltant still survives. Ah, the good old days, eh? Waging the class war, denouncing capitalist bosses, confronting the fascist police, selling the SW, asserting the rights of the people. The trouble is, the people are too grown up to waste their time all that. Are you really advocating street violence? More exciting than the ballot box right enough.
  20. Who will become Rogers’ assistant at Old Trafford? Giggs, Ancelotti, Zidane, the chap in charge of Croatia? It won’t happen but I’d go for Manuel Pellegrini.
  21. Having voted for a Labour candidate when Callaghan and Kinnock were party leaders, the answer is yes. The likes of Corbyn and Skinner are valuable members of Parliament for ideas, checks and balances but they are not competent to govern. A bit like Mrs May you could say in that last regard.
  22. The young Corbyn took time to study the systems and methods of East Germany. He thought Cuba was pretty good. He’s pals with the blokes who have ruined Venezuela. Hamas and the IRA are organisations he has endorsed. Beyond the politics of sloganeering what makes anyone think Corbyn could lead a government? He would want to vote against himself in his first week in office. The world depends on makers and doers. Yappers, bleaters and dreamers are sometimes interesting but mostly tedious. I quite like Denis Skinner by the way.
  23. In my business life one of my top colleagues was a woman. She was a fierce battler for equality. Never in a million years would she have wanted an entry in a photo book.
  24. Even better, Willie Thornton, Lawrie Reilly and Willie Bauld.
