TJ - Scottish football addict

The man has a knack for projecting his own warped megalomania on to others

Yon president oompa loompa really has a thing for wrecking schoolgirls lives, eh?

"Decades-long feud" is a funny way to spell "Epstein files and tanking popularity"

Some riddy for FIFA, gieing the Peace Prize to a guy that turns around and invades one country to nab its president then bombs the buggery out of another. Aye good call lads! We still on for holding it over there, aye?

See yon Randy Andy is being held at his his brothers pleasure then

I've never felt British in my fairly long life. I'm scotttish albeit from Irish roots. I've always felt like an 'other' in what I saw, what I experienced and what I felt in my dealings with others all over the islands. I'm not sure Britishness is really a thing other than mock Englishness outside it

Great result for Scotland there in the egg chasing. Proper dug it out with good fast play against a stronger and more fancied team

Cultural Hegemony they call this. Randy Andy doesn't get the "the King's brother" treatment but when a policy point is there to be scored.....

Thomas Frank failing at Spurs was predictable. They need a culture transplant to become winners again

Early Caturday picture of Biggles. Every evening on the couch at his seat for the 6pm to 9pm snooze

Fair point tbh, but I didnt intend to be protesting or being anywhere near ICE if I can help it too. Just wearing a kilt and watching football. Not going really because of both safety and moral grounds

I think I could manage to go myself as a history buff if I convinced myself it was like an authentic 1940s Germany experience trip. Wife says she won't go though as she looks visibly foreign and wouldn't feel safe. So I'm out

My brother lives in new Jersey and I haven't been there in a decade. Really hard call

Gutting but im cancelling my USA world cup trip. Just can't do it. Hope America sort their shit out

This particular one is pad Thai wi some satay chicken

Dunno if this makes me a pioneer or a jakey, but think I've developed a winning idea. When too much going on to get to sleep easy, 5 pints (no more, no less) then watching crap tv with leftovers microwaved in one of these easy bed eating bad boys. Microwave friendly, handled and big rimmed

Plenty of Italians in Scotland. Im sure they'd approve

Square and eggs in purgatory for breakfast today before I get back up on the roof to finish the storm repairs

Listening to Sacked in the Morning and Alaister Campbell talking about Diego Maradonna. Even just hearing stories of the man brings me right back to my childhood and falling in love with the game. Before Diego I liked playing but never watched. After Diego football became something magical

Im not here to answer all life's big questions. But for those that thought does paratha, blue cheese and dry aged pancetta work together the same way Indians, French and Italians do on a daily basis.... the answer is better. Learn from your food

Looked pretty decent on the day too. Aye, great to have the family all back for it

Wife's fault. She bought 2 kilos of fillet steak. So made one humongous wellington and 2 filet de boef out of it. Lucky if half was eaten at Xmas

Just the 8

Last of the leftovers for dinner tonight

Thought both the Hibs v Hearts and Livi v Celtic games were good watching today. A bit crazy, not always top quality, but loud raucous colourful affairs with passion and noise. The feeling it matters. That's Scottish fitba's unique selling point.

Incidentally I dont think either Incidentally should have been a penalty, but if the threshold is "wouldn't have been a foul" then I guess today's definitely was. Ralston I think made every effort possible to get his hands out the way

Incidentally I dont think either should have been a penalty

Partizan pundits like Boyd really batter my sausage. Had nothing to say when Ralston fell on the ball after a tug while trying to get his arms out the way. But when its going the other way and a guy has his arms in an unnatural position, then the fouls get considered? Just call them neutrally

There was cockaleekie soup too but the missus snaffled it at lunch

Leftovers for dinner tonight. Hope its as good as it was yesterday
