Decent performance but we should be humping these teams.

When does RTV start?

Decent line-up. Mon The Rangers! 🇬🇧

Well, that was quite a year. After all we've been through as a club and as a support, we got our title, as Champions of Scotland, back. I doubted we'd ever get it, throughout the decade we struggled up the leagues and for the first couple of years back in the top division. May 2021 will live with me forever. What an outpouring of joy it was to see Tavernier lift that trophy. Since then, it hasn't been straightforward. We've lost our manager and his backroom staff but we have brought in a new man and from what we've seen, so far, there's nothing to be despondent about. We are top of the league and we look capable of reclaiming our title. I'm a happy Bear and I'm looking forward to 2022. I hope it's a year that brings more joy to us all. No Surrender. 🟥⬜🟦

I think that term brings yahoos out in a rash.

I don't think the league will be called early again. There's far more likely to be a continuation of matches being played with no crowds/restrictions on attendances (maybe every Winter until we realise life has to go on). Or 'The New Normal', as some like to call it.

Heaven on Earth (double entendre fully intended).

Has anyone informed the weather gods about this? 🤣

Doubtful.

Ho ho ho! 🤣

By 'most' she means 'any word that isn't a derogatory slur on Irish Republicans or Scottish pretend-Irish Republicans'. I wish we could all go back to calling each other whatever we want.

Bassey and Balogun are back up players. GvB may well make some shrewd recruitment manoeuvres in January.

I'm not really understanding the panic about who will and who won't be available. Injuries can crop up at any time and we have first team players due back in the next few weeks. The internationals situation is all a bit muddy too. Will Balogun get picked, do we need him - will any big bids come in for Aribo? Let's just see how it all goes. One thing's for sure, the scum will be absolutely devastated if we're still top of the league on 3rd February.

We are better than them. Beating them will be even sweeter now.

Hopefully this sort of thing will prompt more Bears to take the Gonzo route and stop going to away matches (excluding cup matches against lower league opposition).

According to figures, the implementation of passport requirements has had a minimal impact on vaccine uptake (if you read football forums you'll be aware that many fans were getting into matches with fakes) and the latest restrictions now mean that the vaccinated can't get into matches anyway. The vaccine doesn't seem to be having much impact on the spread lf omicron either. Will these restrictions be curtailed after three weeks - I have my doubts.

So there was no point in vaccine passports?

I see the national embarrassment, Ian Blackford, has demanded the Winter break is brought forward. All the problems in Scotland just now and that's what he's bothered about!? Jesus wept.

I don't think there's much doubt Celtc will get their way. This whole episode is, has been and will be quite predictable. Ach well...

The small matter of Christmas Day is the reason. The restrictions come into effect on the 26th.

Isn't Sturgeon's briefing at 14:20?

I'd agree with that. Look at popular music 30+ years ago - some truly terrific vocalists, who often had to work with poor PA systems and minimal monitors, whereas now the vocalists tend to use earpieces and the monitors used are on a grand scale. Are there many great singers about just now - not in my opinion.

I found the Hampden DJ playing the Wolfetones more concerning that what she said. Does that mean we can get a flute band on next time we win there?

Monday mornings in February...
