Sunday 8 pm: It's coming home Monday 8 am: It's hitting home

Anybody fancy a pizza? Gareth is buying. You can sit in, or it can come home

The press had it won before the game started.

Yes; it was in comparison from earlier in the tournament.

I fear that the referee will play a decisive role in this affair. Worryingly, he has been pretty average, shall we say, so far.

As yes, both later ran aground in a pettifog, if memory serves.....

The SNP administration is giving us a taste of what "Independence" would be like. Club 1872 is giving us a taste of what "Fan Ownership" would be like. On the available evidence, M'lud, I should say get both to, well, fuck.

Did we serve together on the old HMS Hairsplitter?

Why is this Thing still a thing? I wouldn't ask Freddy Goodwin for advice on high interest mortgage backed bonds, or on acquiring a Dutch bank, so why tf is Mitchell in any way relevant to Scottish fitba'? Oh, right.....the barrel-scraper is barrel-scraping.

That term of opprobrium, "scrote", could well have been coined for the sellik star.

"A classic warning sign is when people who have great power are above the law, when the laws don't apply to them. That is a classic case of tyranny and people call it out as a violation of the rule of law. When laws or the law making process are not transparent, when courts don't function efficiently, when people don't trust the police, these are all areas where there would be a problem with the rule of law".... (Professor Susan Hirsch, USA) People tie themselves in knots about vaccinations, lock downs, and masks, and meanwhile........

Is it not called the Union Jack when flown as a jack flag at sea? UA HMS Pedantic

That's the first sensible thing that you have said this season!!

I don't know, either. I imagine that Los Blancos will demand -and get- a fairly hefty guarantee, sufficiently large to make it difficult to see the the match washing its face, financially, unless some generous sponsorship comes in. Of course, RMTV may be involved, and there may be a cut, from that, and from associated/ancillary income, for Rangers, which would help. Overall, I don't get the impression that the Club is arranging this as a big earner. I would be delighted if I was wrong.

I agree about the film, and about Cage. I wondered what RM's guaranteed take was.

How much does RM charge for a game like this?

Myth? Well, let's start with Myth Sturgeon. Homer nods, Sturgeon wobbles. But, hey, it's so, so, difficult to keep the heid steady with a' thae snakes wrigglin' and writhin', and writhin' and wrigglin'. To be fair, no part of any man was turned to stone in the making of her legend.

Perhaps, but Nicholas Cage.....And the protagonists had but one face each.

Indeed, tapis in preference to tapas. ( Or so those mad fools on the internet would have you believe.)

Well, RM attracts global interest, and it may be that La Sturgeon will wish to avoid looking churlish, small minded, bitter, twisted and shrewish. (A difficult trick for her to pull off, I concede.)

You just don't get a more glamorous International Challenge Match than one against Real Madrid. Perhaps they are here to run the rule over Mr Gerrard's Spanish....

She would not look good in that. Then again would she look good in anything? I'm not sure if she is actually, strictly, TT, but she has such a down on the demon drink that I refer to her as The Rechabite.

The profile of Real Madrid might force the issue with the Rechabite and her dentist.
