CWC1983

Perth journalist says this isn't true. Pete O Rourke putting 2 and 2 together after Miovski left and Aberdeen have just paid £900k for a forward yesterday. Personally, I don't think he's anywhere near Championship standard.

I get that, to be fair on him, he's a proper football fan. He's appeared on Radio Scotland's version of Hawksbee and Jacobs as a guest and generally doesn't take himself too serious outside of politics. No doubt he's had a fairly tough month or so politically, so some of it will have probobly been meant for some of his Westminster "rivals".

Yeah, I know the story. He was making the crying gesture to Rodri ages ago because he was salty about getting beat at Hampden, but said last night all was forgiven. He is a football fan, and from the article: He wrote: “Football rivalry at club and international level is normal and healthy. “Without it the game is nothing. Lazy stereotypes, xenophobia and a dose of snobbery is not what rivalry, nor football, should be about. “Let’s just stick to petty, ill informed, good natured and funny.” You can't argue with that, can you?

The photo is him taking the urine out of Rodri.

I'm not one for attending festivals, but love watching Glastonbury on the various BBC channels during the weekend.

For travelling fans, I'd reckon most would prefer Central Europe rather than the UK. Who knows, there's probably a bit of politics (brexit) involved and a bit of anti EPL involved regarding the growing gap in finances between the varoius European leagues It shouldn't matter in Uefa's choices, but probobly unconsciously does.

Not our finest hour (or 90 mins)....... Oh well, there's a chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday. Dropping Gilmour was criminal, and it shows the drop off in quality from Hickey to Patterson to Ralston. The Germans ran him ragged. On the upside, I managed to get 2 tickets for the Swiss game last night, so at least I get to see at least 1 game live. Defeats like last night make the victories all the sweeter. Onwards and upwards. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Flew to Dusseldorf this afternoon. Heathrow was heaving with Scotland fans. Good mix in the Altstadt with English and Scots.

The Turkey rumours started a few months ago. Rangers offered him a new contract but he refused, so I guess he has something lined up.

Stumbled across Trying on Apple TV this week and gone through 2 series out of 4. Rafe Spall and Ester Smith really work well together. It's a light hearted feel good story of a London couple going through the adoption process incorporating their families and friends lives.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001zphh/icons-of-football-series-2-1-frank-mcavennie 6 new episodes landed on Saturday. Yes, it's Scotland centric but there's enough nostalgia in them all to enjoy. The John Roberston and Joe Jordan ones are good.

He'd be a gamble. He was a joke player the season before and was laughed out the door at St Johnstone. If he goes for £1m it confirms that some clubs have more money than sense.

Depending on who you listen to, Taylor either looks in "great shape" or "drained and gaunt" at the weigh in. I think Taylor might be on the downward curve. I dread to think what Leeds looks like today with loads of Hibees out boozing in the sun.

That's his last game in Scotland today. I reckon he'll move to the continent over the summer.

I just can't get excited about this fight and I reckon its because its in Saudi. No atmosphere, everyone showing off their wealth etc. No doubt I'll warm to it tomorrow night but it's passing me by at the moment.
