That feeling when you've finally left the Twitter swamp and signed up with Bluesky.

Agreed, it's not going to happen but we can't go on playing this anti-football style of play. It's truly shocking. Meaning, Clarke has to change.
And I don't accept those who say we should wait to see if we qualify or not. Because if we do, Scotland will be on the first plane home.

Aside from Donkey McLean and Elephant Hanley, it's not the players' fault we're pish, but rather Steve Clarke and his brain-dead, anti-football style of play. Way beyond acceptable to have had this group of players for six years yet continously deliver shite performances like tonight.

Steve Clarke has to go and go now. His anti-football approach is embarrassing. Get him to fvck asap.

Kenny McLean should be nowhere near a football, let alone a football pitch. Lazy, slow, tactically inept and thick as mince.
But then again, Steve Clarke, that fine spotter of exeptional footballing talent such as Grant Hanley, just so happens to be the Scotland manager.

The height of ignorance is not knowing how ignorant one is. Worse still are those that hold and then spout bigoted and prejudicial preconceptions.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. Despite the whole world knowing the English education system is a basket case, Labour seems intent on making it even worse. This time by ranking it by cost. Words fail me.

My goodness, you're naivety and inability to connect political strategies is staggering yet wholly unsurprising.
That said, your stupidity is quite entertaining. Keep it up.

Baffy Niblick @baffyniblick.bsky.social · 1d

And there you go again, proving my point.

Baffy Niblick @baffyniblick.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for proving my point. 👏

If you think Starmer's Labour is not connected to this, you are either:
Deluded
Ignorant
Poorly read
Easily led
Devoid of any critical thinking skills
Or perhaps all five? Take your pick.

Baffy Niblick @baffyniblick.bsky.social · 1d

Scotland, you have been warned.
Be under no illusion, this is what inhumane scumbags like Farage and Starmer are working towards - sociopathic cowards arresting 6 year olds.

Get us tae fvck out the UK. Pronto.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 1d

Arresting 6 year olds.

Every goal is my favourite. Every single one. Indeed, any pain inflicted on an organisation built on bigotry, untold ignorance, subvervise pro-Union politics and a sickening loyalty to an unelected family of lizards is but a joy to behold.

de Valera was no hero. Quite the opposite. That being a corrupt, far-right, christian fundamentalist who throughout his time in office gave his approval for the Church to commit the most horrific of human rights abuses on thousands of Irish citizens.

And if you know your history....

20 mins into the Scotland Greece game and it's clearly evident Steve Clarke is an atrocious coach.
FFS, he's now been in charge of this fine group of players for six years and the team as a tactical unit has not advanced one jot.

This is becoming a bit of a habit for Bob MacIntyre. And more power to him.

The latest Norstat poll for the Times shows a sustained lead for Yes in #Indyref2 voting intention. Even with the published 2014 vote weighting Yes has a 6 point lead. But if we reweight based on current (rather than fantasy) demographics, Yes has a 13 point lead.

Lynch: The Ryder Cup needs a new vision in the U.S., and new owners

The finger-pointing at the U.S. team should wait. More urgent criticism should be squarely directed at the PGA of America for its shoddy mishandling of the event.

Some of the abuse Rory McIlroy and rest of the European Ryder Cup team are having to endure is the worst I've ever heard at a sporting event. Feck me, it's truly horrific.

Bryson DeChambeau is an incredibly dense, self-absorbed narcissist. Ergo, he's a prick.

That's it. That's the post.

Jesus suffering Christ, the Arsehole-in-Chief has just arrived at the Ryder Cup. Nauseating stuff.

Baffy Niblick @baffyniblick.bsky.social · 16d

Bethpage has certainly attracted the lion's share of New York's knuckle-dragging MAGA scumbags.

Baffy Niblick @baffyniblick.bsky.social · 16d

I thought I'd witnessed everything in this game but the abuse the European Ryder Cup team is having to put up with is beyond shocking. Words fail me.
