swithering, wittering, blethering

@DylanRevisited @mrjoeflower It’s dreary, but still not as bad as Knocked Out Loaded (Brownsville Girl excepted).

@PaulJohnDykes @Rokewood Credit is due to Nancy. Without his 6 points…

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Rokewood It will be spun as either Lennon rolls over to give Celtic a double or O’Neill does his favoured son a solid. Lose-lose.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@johnmurphy1967 Do we know if he would have been interested anyway?

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@ACSOMPOD Keep up the good work PJ, which will probably need renewed effort after the Cup Final because there’s a moronic section of our support who can’t help themselves & will keep giving hostages to fortune. Any transgression on Saturday will be broadcast far & wide as told-you-so.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Slimshady1961 Whilst I do favour this, stamping down on pyro (flares and smoke) is a more pressing issue. Where’s the enforcement for that?

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Slimshady1961 Wonder what Gary thinks about it…

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@KERBYbook @kwr66 Another spin on that is that referees have had to be corrected…

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@ronniethetim @Rokewood @GerryHassan Match was not abandoned. Referee ended the game.

You may think it *should* have been abandoned (though that needs at least an attempt at clearing the pitch & a restart) but in fact it wasn’t.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@gibsona07 @GrahamSpiers Question is whether the Board retreats into “no change necessary after all”.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Slimshady1961 @EasyPeasy_3 @ScotlandSky And the “not clear & obvious error” is irrelevant as that wasn’t what was in play. VAR judged that Beaton overlooked it completely, ie it was a “serious missed incident”, which is grounds for delay & a review.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Slimshady1961 @EasyPeasy_3 @ScotlandSky I agree it’s difficult to be sure of things from that one angle. (So, it’s a judgment call…) That said, arguments used here are mince: (a) his arm is up long before Trusty contact, re pushing up, and (b) it’s quite possible the ball hits *both* head & hand, re rebound aspect

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@DaCapoucho @WingsScotland Very possible that it hits both head and hand.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@GoalsXtra @JimSpenceDundee We need other angles to be sure.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@_JamieMcIntyre @bellacaledonia Wonder if he realises that the Greens in Scotland and E&W are separate organisations, with different manifestos.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@EasyPeasy_3 A doubling of his transfer fee.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@Inthecountry76 @CllrPaulwells @brodie_prime Not really. Principle behind it makes perfect sense, trying mitigate against unfairness of FPTP. Mechanism used is something you can quibble over, tho’.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@andrewjgreene @DylanRevisited Yep. I remember that from a newspaper article not long after.

[Haivers @HaiversBlog]

@tirnaog_09 @Pmacgiollabhain My understanding was that, as Tommy Atkins was the archetypal British soldier in WW1, the Irish equivalent was Tim Malloy.

@GlamSlam72 @gwpurnell Interesting that the sleeve has the title in the singular, though it’s not what he sings (and not how it appeared on Hunky Dory).
