With respect to all the above, the hooped whores look nailed onto qualification. We can but hope. Personally, I should be pleased if the Israeli team turfed them out.

May we consider Scott Allan, therefore, a bullet dodged?

I assume that the Leith filth is unlikely to be in European competition for some time. Appealing the Lurgan reptile's exclusion can only be to safeguard compensation when, inevitably, one of the big CL teams (RM, Barca, Juve, ManU, BM, PSG, Arsenal, whomever) comes calling for his services. After all, who would want one of European football's top club managers sitting in the stand for 5 matches, during European football's top club competition? I have a feeling that the key to his suspension may lie not merely in his behaviour in the technical area, but in events off pitch, and off camera, in the stand, referees' room, etc. Let us hope the ban is doubled; or, even tripled. He could then, justifiably, claim a treble of his own, his first, as far as I know.

The player seems injury prone, which makes signing him a tad risky, given the hammer throwers who await in the SPFL.

A player with the odd (5, 7, 9....) disaster in him, if I am not mistaken. Probably a more elegant bomb scare than those there at present.

West Ham Utd has produced a commemorative strip, for the coming season, celebrating its origin as Thames Ironworks FC. Would something with this aesthetic work up here? Check it out: https://www.officialwesthamstore.com/tiwfc-kit/mens/2278_201617-TIWFC-COMMEMORATIVE-SHIRT.html

Hair gel and headphones; not, on balance, for me.

Windsor Park springs to mind.

Sheet it, and beat it, as they say in the building trade.

That this cretin is captain of the National XI is shameful.

Is the SPFL not, actually, a reboot?

Would it be inappropriate of me to suggest that the Crown seems to lack commitment, in pursuing this particular businessman?

I genuinely hope that you are right.

The RvP rumour has been around for some weeks, presumably with no foundation whatsoever. Timothy, as a rule, does not have the wit to produce a Tangoist operation of this nature. The best that he has managed so far is the suggestion that the RvP story was promulgated by Level 5 PR, to distract from the fact that Rangers were outbid by Oxford United for Kane Hemmings. (Timothy did not use the word 'promulgated', I may add.)

Affirmative.

A "sensational" signing would be good, great, in itself, but an amusing bonus would be reactive panic buying @thepiggery.

Brenda getting desperate.

Rossiter v Broonaldo. I can see one winner there.

I think that Ms Andrea Leadsom may have helped polish that CV.

I haven't seen them (I rarely venture east of High Street), but take it that the cracks and open joints, etc. are indicative of more than lack of maintenance.

Surely the taxpayer re pointed them for the Commonwealth Games?

It would be interesting to find out.

I have seen photographs of a piggery stand where the roof is tied down (windbracing, I assume) by two very large vertical beams. These are demountable, and are removed prior to the unwashed droving in. it is clearly unsafe to leave the roof unsecured when the stand is empty, but not when full of sellikfans. I thought this an unusual arrangement, and have never seen a coherent explanation. They are clearly not deadweight, as they stand vertically, tying the roof to the seating deck, and possibly to elements of underbuilding/foundations below.

Sky Sports suggests that Dodoo will start. Is the pitch at Ochilview not rubbish?

One should not expect objectivity from a football commentator styling himself as "Liam".
