Astonishing and yet not surprising that the Scottish government are now backtracking on any notion of overturning the absurd ban on alcohol at Scottish Football matches.
Football fans still being treated like second class citizens because of something that happened 44 years ago.
And let's quash the usual knicker wetting responses right now;
1) Yes we can do without a drink for 90 minutes. Nobody is suggesting we sit and drink at our seats during the game. A pre match or half time beer in the stadium might be a nice choice to have though.
2) No, nobody is suggesting that fans rock up with carry outs at the turnstyles or that's there's a full range of optics at the pie stall.
3) Yes, there might be a case for not selling alcohol at high risk games. All games are already categorised anyway, so it's not difficult to switch the taps off at individual games.
4) Yes, as amazing as it might seem, plenty people do already drink alcohol before attending games. They have these places called pubs.
5) No, fans wouldn't be chucking glass bottles at each other in the stands. A plastic pint of 4% beer ain't going to spark any sort of riot.
6) Yes, in England, where they have a massive history of domestic and international football violence that far outweighs anything ever seen in Scotland, they are still allowed to have a beer.
The ban is completely out of date, completely unfair, and utterly stupid.
It would be nice if @oasis would tell @LiveNationUK@TicketmasterUK and others to do one and do the tour for affordable prices sticking to their working class roots. Highly unlikely. #oasisreunion

Lefty tears and all that, but when a party that ratfucked Diane Abbott, Faiza Shaheen & Jovan Owusu-Nepaul/tried to gag Martin Forde/described losing Muslim voters as "shaking off fleas", turns out a cabinet that looks like *this*, surely that's worth at least a conversation...?!
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping internationally-banned white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night. AGAIN.
And where is the “international community”?
Nowhere to be found, of course.

For any proud “north” aberdonians considering voting reform this is your candidate… not saying he’s a nonce but if you entertain him for 30 seconds your welcome to make up your own mind
The way that referee was handing out cards in that Turkey-Czechia game, I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't send me one for my birthday and Christmas! 🤣
Only one game football fans in North East should be going to tonight as three points for Culter will guarantee the well defended title and fourth trophy of the season!
