Restless Natives. My balcony of choice this summer is situated in the corner of Spain. Galicia's charms are all encompassing but, mostly ignored by Spaniards. Of course, the country is a loose coalition of waring tribes, most Castilians, Catalans, Andalusians, Basques, ....... etc think Galicia is part of Poland. Even il Caudillo, Generalissimo Franco played down his Galician heritage on advice from his personal priest, Bishop Josemaria Escriva - the founder of Opus Dei. Yesterday, I was sitting outside a bar in San Vicente and a coach load of French tourists alighted to their guide spreading his arms and proclaiming, 'Galicia is God's work'. Dan Brown will ensure the Guardia Civil jail the blasphemer in his next book. God's work continues at Pacific Quay. The appetiser for the Euros is the second series of Scottish football icons, the six chosen are : Frank McAvennie, Joe Jordan, John Robertson, Wullie Miller, John Greig and, Jen Beattie. The Executive Producer remains Claire Kelly(daughter of former Sellik Chair, Kevin Kelly) and Eamonn Donohoe (Sportscene Producer), a Celtic State of Mind pairing. We know PQ is most comfortable lifting personnel and ideas from Sellik supporters' Podcasts and the national broadcaster serves up continuity in their Euros coverage. Each and every evening of the Euros, we are being given, 'Late Night at the Euros with Martin Compston'. Now I know Gersnetters will be concerned as to the whereabouts of RAB Cosgrove and Tam Cowan, it's their gig these last thirty years? Diversity training takes it's toll and maybe they are losing the confidence of Claire and Eamonn? As BBC License payers, we must ask, has Martin Compston undergone diversity training? Remember Martin, it is only two years past since he conducted the balaclava attired Yahoos in the full IRA karaoke from a Las Vegas stage? Martin ticks all the boxes, he co-hosts a Podcast with Hibby, Gordon Smart called, 'Restless Natives'. BBC Scotland tells us, "Martin is hilarious" is his descant of the forty year old Scottish low budget film. Taking on the characters of Clown and Wolf, two disaffected youths get on their motor bikes and indulge in highway robbery. Tourist coaches are the target. Martin will be donning a clown mask instead of the usual balaclava. What are PQ CSC thinking? A Scots actor who has lived in Las Vegas this last decade is parachuted in and RAB Cosgrove says nothing. I suspect Martin's political sympathies and the thought of an impending word from Peter have silenced him. A man in his 72nd year knows his snout could be removed from the trough permanently. The suffocating blanket of God's Work decrees hating is no longer enough, Opus Peter is dictating. No wonder RAB is continually playing the Irish heritage card these days. I think PQ could have been a bit more snappy with the show's title, how about, 'Singalonga Martin'?

So the Saudi interest in Tav and Goldson might rake us in 6 to 7 million. Stevie will be saying Scotland are going to win the Euros at this rate!! If we want Goldson off the wage bill, it will be a pay off.

If it generates money then you can bring in pope Francie to conduct mass money's ,money .

There's a lot of work being done on the Copland stand this summer so Ibrox isn't available for concerts or events. We're not even playing any friendlies at home pre-season. Harry Styles, a troubadour popular with the young people, played at Ibrox in the very recent past which suggests our 'wizzos' are onto this little earner.

Watching the Scotland team depart and then arrive in Germany I couldn’t help notice Shellik tops in the crowd. Have they ditched the ROI and now all support Scotland? ( or have the real Irish chased them? )

Went to see Scotland in his days,never forget being there for his goal V Italy,but now couldn,t care less about the green team and it's followers. BTW that Italy game was only game of football that my father went to with me.

Steven Berghuis isn't a right back so that's one inaccuracy

I noticed that just before the Scotland game kicked off on Friday and it definitely made me keener to see our national side fail. Maybe I'm just bitter but I don't feel like my life is any worse not supporting them.

I tend to agree, which is why I said before that I'd let him (and Tav) go for free if it means we free up their wages. Tav has some value in fairness, but not a lot. But no, I cannot see in my wildest dreams, us banking 6-7m for them.

The two final match reports on the blog, U14's and U15's against Celtic. https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2024/06/09/academy-teams-take-on-celtic/

There must be some places near Murrayfield where your desires can be catered for?🤣 Not sure you would welcome Rod Stewart though!

Then I had better warn you to stay clear of one Taylor Swift, a chanteuse currently migrating to Scotland with a horde of 'swifties' (No, not the Rangers Colts).

Thanks. I used to wonder what his job was.

I love this forum for everyone’s views on the tactics part of the game lots of interesting comments on it it’s tip-top . But I’d love to see some wingers in the Henderson and Jinky mold in our game

Did anyone see the female walking race where the Spanish girl was celebrating her third place and bronze medal got to busy showboating and the Ukrainian girl overtook her serves her bloody right i say but it's about time these walking races were scrapped if you watch them no one adheres to the rules

If this is going to be the standard of football at the European championships then i might give it a miss even England were bad last night as well

Hume, If Rangers survive, will you?

We've got a bigger wage bill than Atalanta who've just won the uel and have been ucl regulars recently. In the grand scheme of European football, we compare well enough in revenue imo..the board have just severely mismanaged recruitment in recent years. We haven't got value for our signings for years. Bennett has spoken about being more aggressive in the market and implementing the trading model - we're seeing the beginnings of that with the Cortés, Diomande and Jefte deals. Get that 'pillar' right and we'll crack 100m+ in revenue - it'll take time though.
