On current form I'd say we are below average. I was so bored watching last night's match that I actually turned away from the TV to do something else. I've never done that before. Ever.


I think I lost it around about the time we'd gone one-nil down and we needed a goal so what does our manager do? He takes off our only striker who made the trip to Turkey.

Can anyone explain how lucky Man U have been recently? Five wins in a row normally doesn't come easily in the PL. Has the overall standard dropped this season? There are only two half decent teams this season, the top two. I'm baffled that United are third as they are just not a team yet.

With European teams speaking out against a move to winter for the WC maybe they and theirs could speak out a little more on this too.

It's much older than that RD. It's always good fun to remember peoples comments and make them accountable. Especially ones that I didn't expect. And Im pretty sure you said Celtic were doing well despite Lennon rather than because of him.


My brother in law said Lennon was a wonker. I'm seeing him at Christmas, I'll have a word with him too.


I'm making friends everywhere this festive season.

You're probably right Mick. I remember at the time that I thought what NL was achieving at Celtic would've been matched or bettered by A.N. Other manager. Good luck to him, I think he needed a change and challenge...

Yeah, that's called sport. Fans of the team in 4th place have every right to expect their best side to run out against the team in 1st. It's called competition innit.

The excitement in Scotlands second league continues. Hibs are on a roll and chasing Rangers for the second promotion spot after their 4-0 win over the Gers today. But Hearts have the winning birth sown up. Hibs probably favourites to come second.


SCSB - happy new year. Ally ran away before the old firm game.

It's also called squad rotation. With 4 games in 10/11 days and then a difficult away FA Cup tie to follow, as a fan I would expect players to be rested, with priority given to the more winnable games...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      To be fair to Sue, she doesn't have to explain or justify why she supports or wants to vote for any party. That is the same for everyone. We are free to decide which party best reflects what we think is important to us. Discussing the stances/ policies of parties, in a general discussion, can be done without targetting anyone commenting here. Politics is just a point of view at the end of the day.  Different things are important to different people, often for very valid reasons. Let's be respectful of that.  My opinion is that if say the Labour Party wants to understand why it is losing supporters to the Greens, it needs to listen to and understand the reasons why. That theme has been explored in this thread a little through the discussion around councillor McAsh. The same is true of the Tories losing support to Reform and the Libdems. Let's not also assume that every member of every party is completely on board with every policy of the leadership of that party either. You only have to look at how backbenchers have forced u-turns from Starmer's cabinet on things like Welfare Reform and WFA to see that.

      As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.

      Yeah  Ban people, that will solve all the planets environmental issues over night  Leave the dogs as they aren't the problem, its normally bad ownership and management that leads to badly behaved dogs. Spartacus  Ps Cat Rule

      Some people are all of the above. Would happily ban them, or send them to training school
