Incoherent ramblings of an auld coffin dodger. Sometimes, politics, sport, TV and things that annoy me. Health warning: As time passes most things annoy me!!
As a Yes voter in 2014, below is a reason why the independence movement of 2026 depresses me. Laughing emoji and Saltire displayed at the loss of 260 jobs in England. Not a thought of the anxiety to family and personal circumstances of ordinary working folk. Not in my name.
Oh dear #bbclaurak poor Lucy Powell refusing to acknowledge the hypocrisy in her statement on General Election now. No self awareness that viewers are shaking their heads saying 'they are all the bloody same'. Clueless and out of touch.
@JamesMelville Clarke did well to get us to three tournaments. What is disappointing is the performance when we get there. I guess he fell on his sword because of that. Individual errors at the back which no coach can legislate for cost us.
@thomsonchris Quite right old chap. With our own channel, Scottish pundits in the studio and Scottish commentators we would win the #worldcup#Scotland Correct. This must end now. The #revolution starts at tea time Saturday #freedom
@pjcboro@scotland_xg Had to ๐ ๐ some truth in what you say. We do seem to get a tough draw. Que sera sera. Will let you off with skirts comment. Also glad to note you got pumped twice in championship play off ๐ Good luck this season. Now off to buy my Panama ๐ต๐ฆ top. ๐ ๐คฃ good luck really.
@jonnyrmcfarlane A more balanced take on our performance in tournament than mine ๐. Make a few good points. It does go back to the long term development of kids. But watch a kids game on a public park. It's all about winning. And coaches thinking they are a public park version of Jock Stein.
@EasyPeasy_3 Not changed in 50 years. Used to play as a boy in the 70s for boys team in Lanarkshire League. All about winning, not development. Knew a few good young players lost to the game because of non coaching philosophy.
Feel sorry for Gary MacArthur #newsnight sacked by #sainsburys Glad he has another job. Won't make much difference but I will never shop in Sainsburys again.
Well played Ecuador. A team who showed up. #Scotland World Cup is over. #Tartanarmy outstanding but the reality is that the party will continue without us.
@ProfKreg Getting pelters on here pal ftom the usual suspects. However, objectively you are correct, Shankland's style of play is not suited to the line striker role.
