Of course we'll end up getting the Swiss model since it's the UEFA flavour of the month at the moment, but they're basically moaning that seeding has ruined football. The games are too easy because it's literally designed for the big teams to have it easy!

They didn't win it in 1970 though.

There were three men who needed hunted after that woeful Covid season. He's the only one that was (Peter Lawwell just moved into the shadows while keeping his ECA position on our behalf). No lessons have been learned since then, they don't think any need learned, so why shouldn't he come back!

The irony of this being that I've had SUV for years for the safety of my own children and the bigger boot space for all the stuff they need (whether that was buggies and prams when they were younger, smaller bikes and scooters). TBF they're pretty much at the point my next car will be smaller.

Just off the phone to Patrick Stewart asking if I fancied being the next Rangers manager. Yes they are that desperate now.

Exactly. The problem I have is the one that the original poster highlights though - the SNP may talk about independence but they have no viable route to it. Asking Westminster for another referendum we know they won't grant isn't it. They need an alternative route when that fails.

Yesterday was a perfect example of why you never have all your eggs in one basket. Vodafone went down in the middle of the work day, wiping out my broadband. I was able to continue working because I could tether my laptop to my phone which I have contracted through EE.

And... that's James Brown in my head now. I did laugh at the McGinn reference in the blurb. Jobby is such a brilliant Scottish work, criminally underrated.

S15E19 Living in America

Scotland are 10 points, level with Denmark at the top of the group and are now within touching distance of the World Cup - so the lads hit the important debating points, what is Scotland's world cup song - Born in The USA by Springsteen or Living In America by James Brown? Danny, Laurie, Josh and debutant Daris debrief Two Jobby Performances but six massive points and while doing so, manage to name every player to have scored under Steve Clarke.

Sounds like a lot went wrong around Hayden Christensen, that seems to be where most of the criticism is heading. But we stayed clear of that so other than it being a bit too crowded in the middle of the day I had a great time!

I love the vibe there too. I've seen criticism of the organising of it this year, and it's probably justified unfortunately, but for the most part they do a good job. But it's the attendees that make it. Everyone was so friendly and approachable, happy to pose for photos and compliment each other.

People who know me would have sworn that if I was going to cosplay at comic con then it would have been something related to Star Trek. Probably including me tbf.

But no, I was wandering around Comic Con Scotland on Saturday dressed as the Sixth Doctor. Loved the experience, would do it again!

Scotland have got six points despite being woeful this week. I mean… okay? But surely we can’t get away with that again next month?

This qualifying group could easily come down to goal difference.

Clarke: I’ll go one up front at home to the worst team in the group and it’s not even the one that was more effective on Thursday night.

I keep forgetting Quantum Leap was an 80s show. Probably because it ages me never mind Scott Bakula!

That was definitely Jingle Jackson's exclusive. How he survived that, I'll never know.

That's... that's SO not what rawdogging means. They need to rethink the term they're using for zoning out or there's going to be a lot of misunderstanding. Or just use the existing terms, I dunno. But definitely not rawdogging.

Lyndon Dykes has never heard the phrase “beware the Greeks bearing gifts”

Krys @krys.kujawa.co.uk · 7d

First question to Steve Clarke should be “why did it take the Greeks scoring for us to get the finger out and show some urgency?”

Dreadful performance, but credit for picking the pockets of the diving Greeks (who were falling about just as much in March by the way)

Taxi for a Fanny!

Krys @krys.kujawa.co.uk · 7d

We are grim for most of this game, but our set pieces have actually been decent. I think more because the Greeks are woeful at defending them to be fair.

The Dutchman drawing those VAR lines has definitely been on the sauce tonight.

Krys @krys.kujawa.co.uk · 7d

Imagine Celtic were actually rubbish at the ineffective tippy tappy sideways pish.

That’s Scotland tonight.

180 minutes of the Greeks being better than us now this year. Still folk cling to the first 45 minutes of that playoff back in March.
