This has gone far too far now. The comment about Dean Shiels is in the same class as wishing Nacho Novo was dead. And I don't know where the huns term originated but I certainly find it offensive.

Then again, that is not certain either. There has been an erosion of support in the southern Tory 'blue wall.' Living in England I don't see the Conservative swing as permanent. They only gained 300k more votes after the last election, despite the biggest ever campaign against and character assassination of one man.

You only have to glance at the Guardian's attacks on Corbyn to see that it is an illusion that it is a left newspaper - liberal at best. The current Labour incarnation is but a pale shadow of the Tory party in Westminster. As such, it is likely to fare even worse than the Corbyn version, with formerly safe seats like Hartlepool falling to the Tories. The current SNP government is anything but a substitute for the old Keir Hardie Labour Party; in fact it is very much a supporter of free enterprise (who owns Scotrail? ). When I was growing up it was normal for a working class Protestant to support Rangers and vote Labour. The SNP are wolves in sheep's clothing and that may explain the lack of enthusiasm for indy. A genuine British socialist and unionist Labour Party would, I suspect, hoover up a huge amount of current SNP support. Matters are complicated further because the Scottish Branch Office of Labour has always been (at least since the nineties) even more right wing than UK Labour.

To save me dredging through pages and pages, when we talk about fake videos are we suggesting that the city centre one may have been faked? The only recording of it I was able to see was from an Irish paper and tbh I couldn't make out what was being sung at all - though I could hear "why don't you go home." Was the EK bus one faked? Like most on here I think there has been an over-reaction; I can't see how anyone in the street could be charged with a hate crime. An disabled acquaintance of mine was told to "get out the way, spastic" in a pub recently - now that is a hate crime.

“Even when a vaccine is highly effective, a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated will get COVID-19 if they are exposed to the virus that causes it,” said West Virginia Epidemiologist Shannon McBee. McBee says, breakthrough cases occur for all vaccine preventable conditions.

I'm sure I've read that Bacuna was right-footed; if he is left footed then that's good because he can cover for Kamara and then we have balance.

His goal v Real showed that he has some potential though....

Think his lack of height is a contra-indicator too.

Translates as 'John Joy'!

Then there are some on here who owe him an apology!

Great win. Should kickstart our season now.

I was apprehensive a week ago but now looks like Kyogo may not make it. Given also that Starfelt looks even worse than Duffy in defence, the worst I expect is a draw - which wouldn't be bad. We are due one I suppose, law of averages and all that.

No, pretty sure that was Slavia. Sparta humped Keltic last year.

Would it mean as much financially though?

"Arsefelt"! Brilliant!?

Only McCrorie and Patterson get pass marks from me. We haven't mastered the art of drawing teams out and hitting them with a killer pass.

Eh? Oh, McKinnon and McLelland? I wish...?

You are forgetting the heat - could be 37 celsius!

My God, that bench! I don't even know who Lyall is or what position he plays...

Me too. Alashkert looked to me to be just as capable defensively as Malmo and we only improved when we went down to ten.

It does, and who do we now have to play wide? Roofe is still suspended I think, so that's a problem unless Sakala is fit (don't know if he has travelled).

So McCrorie in goal then? Barasic at left back.....

Losing on Sunday would indeed be sickening, but we could still fix it if we achieve the first goal. If we don't, then I fear the worst. Thursday is much more important in the grand scheme.

If so, then that should merit the same response that is likely to be meted out to the Kyogo abusers. Remember, it was that word which was levelled at Kamara.

Maybe it's showing how much we have missed Jack's protection in there.
