This. I was disappointed....last night was by far the worst Scotland have played in about 11 games.

But it's true though no? England's last WC campaign is best forgotten. And even Saturday v Slovenia...that first half was not anything like how they played last night.


In relative terms England are playing far worse than their average standard historically. Scotland also (although much improved since dire Bertie Voghts era).

It might be true (it is), but it's still the bitter parting shot of a sore loser.

We're not having much luck with injuries in all positions.

Ditto, Saturday is going to be the battle of the walking wounded...

The recent appointment of Malky Mackay is very distasteful. Yet another example of a chairman and the FA having no clue as to what is and isn't acceptable in the modern world. I can't help feeling the black players at Wigan are probably uncomfortable at best and betrayed at worst. Trouble is Scudamore got off, and Mackays lawyers will no doubt cite that in any case brought against him.

      Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.

      I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment.

      I have not. Both things are true.

      I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
