Where does one start? Well, I should advise him to forget Sevco: Covid is an anagram of DivCo. In many parts of Glasgow -oh, say Castillo con lecce- the name David -as in, say, David King- has been, in the past, often shortened to Div. A quick inquiry to Companies House should provide the answers he seeks. If it doesn't, then he has clear evidence of ludgery, etc. etc... Seriously, though, he is very close. I think that he will need to be silenced.

These are, then, the jungle Jimshoe?

He does have vaulting ambition, which may, on occasion, affect the fizzog....

Hey, Rousseau is that Route 1?

We need 3 points; we also need, i mo, a wee boost to our already superior goal difference.

So I am not infallible. That's a life changer.

When the sheep play the fhilth, the sheep manager, McInnes, has his team defeated before the game kicks off.

It is the Yankeefication of the game. I mean, look what they did to rounders.

It's Flemish for stooshie.

He is investigating the stramash pitchside and in the tunnel, post match. Some of the Belgians will end up in some little grey cells.....

Flanders Mud.

Correct.

Never in doubt, especially when we were up to our knees

Well they are, but only once every 100 years.

Actually, we established, the other day, that the natives of East Lothian have -and use- cutlery, viz. : the knife, the fork, and the spoon.... ...one implement for each hand.

It's full of schools........card schools, tossing schools.....

Well, let's hope we display that legendary efficiency, and effectiveness, and not that evidenced by the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport construction project.

Am I right to suspect that, given its provenance, this will be a skewed questionnaire? Why catechise the Clubs, rather than solicit opinion, I wonder?

Meawhile, The Times reports on the -unarguably- shameful actions of the SFA in continuing to cavil, stall, and prevaricate over the release of its Report into child sexual abuse in the national game. It has been delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and one wonders if the SFA's continual evasiveness has been, solely, intended to grant sufficient time for redaction of the document, by those who would benefit from its bowdlerisation and the sanitisation of its contents, be they matters of fact, or matters of opinion. Football abuse victims need answers now, SFA told Marc Horne Tuesday October 20 2020, 12.01am, The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/scotland/football-abuse-victims-need-answers-now-sfa-told-vlzszc66p The results of an independent review of child sexual abuse in football have been delayed on several occasions The distress faced by survivors of sexual abuse in Scottish football is being compounded by delays to a review of paedophilia within the sport, MSPs have claimed. The Scottish Football Association (SFA) commissioned an independent report into sexual abuse which was due to be released in 2018. A draft was published that year but the final version with victim testimony has been held back several times, prompting anger from those who gave evidence. Fulton MacGregor, the convener of Holyrood’s cross-party group on the future of football in Scotland, said that he had raised the issue with Ian Maxwell, the SFA chief executive. “This continued delay is a major concern for many survivors, no doubt causing additional anxiety and distress,” he said. “I wrote to the SFA last week to ask when they expect the report to be published and I am awaiting a response. I hope the publication date issue can be quickly resolved so the report can be made public at the earliest opportunity.” Mr MacGregor, the SNP MSP for Coatbridge & Chryston, a former social worker, added: “Perhaps then victims can find some closure to the dreadful and traumatic experiences they endured while in football.” Johann Lamont, the former Scottish Labour leader and co-convener of the cross-party group of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, said that she was “gravely concerned” by the failure to publish the report. She said: “Clearly this report will include important recommendations for action. The SFA must make a firm commitment not just to publish but to provide a deadline by which that commitment will be delivered.” Last month Martin Henry, chairman of the Independent Review into Sexual Abuse in Scottish Football, said he had handed over his final report to the SFA in the summer and had been assured it would be made public by the end of September. “It is up to them to comment on why it hasn’t been released,” he said. The report was originally delayed to allow court cases linked to historic sexual abuse in football to be completed. More recently survivors have been told that its release has been held back because of the pandemic. Victims and their representatives have suggested that the SFA and other prominent Scottish football institutions are looking to sideline a report that will highlight their historic failures — and could have consequences for scores of legal cases. Patrick McGuire, a partner with Thompsons solicitors, which is representing six people who were abused by SFA officials and dozens more who were attacked while playing for senior and junior clubs, said: “The continued delays and excuses by the SFA for not publishing their own report into historic child abuse in Scottish football are simply inexcusable. “It is deeply upsetting and disrespectful to the many survivors who went through the harrowing process of giving evidence to the inquiry. “This was the inquiry the SFA never wanted to hold and now it’s the report they simply don’t want to release.” The SFA said that it hoped to release the document this month. A spokesman said: “The Scottish Football Association is equally keen to publish the report and hopes to do so as soon as possible.”

Rather a long piece, which, ultimately, tells us little that we don't already know. Still, it puts it 'out there', and that is to be welcomed. Rather curiously -shamefully, perhaps- it neglects to mention the consistent stonewalling and rubber earing tactics employed, by ScotGov and the Sturgeon National Party, to avoid being seen to aid, or even to sympathise with, the victims, and, presumably, to bodyswerve anything, however based in fact, that might reflect badly upon, or "besmirch the good name", of the club like no other.

I don't care if it was seven breakaways. Bed. Now. No biscuits.

Is there not an 'obligation' to buy at season's end, as seems customary nowadays? I should laugh like a storm drain in the monsoon if there was.
