Not sure why you're giving such a lying, immoral, murderous scumbag's comments the time of day. The extremists in both the Arab and Israeli camps are the only ones who need taking out, not some hypothetical weapon. Maybe when they're gone the area can live in peace.

A few from the 70's and 80's and a war compilation published in '97.

I know where you're coming from. I tend to think the latter around 90% of the time but then I see a pic of me occasionally and I think "I look alright there." My mind never tells me that at the time, though.*
*Genuinely, you have nothing to worry about with your looks.

Or maybe they simply chose the best candidate for the job.

Collateral in the $1bn sportswashing exercise. It took 5 decades to have a 10 goal mismatch in the World Cup (though Zaire in '74 came mighty close to matching El Salvador's 10 in '82). It took this competition 2 days.

4-1 (not that it made it any better, but we did at least take the lead).

We had the 2021 season. There's not a director or scriptwriter who could think of doing anything as remotely exhiliarating as Verstappen on the cusp of reaching his peak against Hamilton on the cusp of leaving his. Complete with schoolchildren team principles and a race director cracking up.

There's nothing cushy about the Women's Auxiliary Balloon Corps. Is there, Darling?

Fourth. I refuse to acknowledge Pereira had even seen a football before, let alone be a footballer.

Or perhaps you're making it up to fit in with whatever agenda you have.

I was expecting Nelson Muntz to point at it and shout "Ha! Ha!", only for an 8ft tall man to get out of the tank, pull his shorts down, and make him march.

My mum passed away four months ago. Going through all the personal belongings were half a dozen Oor Wullie and The Broons annuals from the '70's and '80's. They were the only things I took home with me. A direct link to both my long ago childhood and recent loss.

All about the numbers game. Surround one woman and act the tough guy. Get surrounded in equal numbers and they back off. Cowards in uniforms.

A year ago I'd had far too many cans of Tennents and fell asleep before even those few minutes. 😬

A competition slightly less appealing to European club supporters than the old Intertoto Cup. The league season, domestic cups, and for those who qualify, the Champions League / Europa League / Europa Conference and other continents equivalent is more than enough. This is a waste of time.

I would say England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have as equal a chance as each other of winning it. Gibraltar and San Marino have marginally better chances than them.

I went to a couple of Isthmian League games. One had a crowd of 3,300 and the other 2,800. 7th tier of English football. Relatively cheap, you can take your beer onto the terrace, you can also change ends at half time, and, of course, no VAR, so the drama is in the game and not a tv screen.

I was never quite 100% sure that something that was in Theresa May's 2017 catastrophic manifesto, which the public rejected and was instrumental in her somehow losing a 24% poll lead and a majority, would be particularly popular from a Labour government trying to ape her a few years down the line.

Although an episode of Peep Show had "Blair resignation jam"! 😆

I'm in no way saying it's ever been on the scale you are experiencing and have experienced but in Blighty it's also been exhibited. I grew up in Thatcher's Britain, and since then there's been Blair and Johnson, all of whom had similar followings in the media and public. Farage is next.

Sunderland supporters put him up for sale on ebay. I think the highest bid was 55p.

It had an end-of-an-era feel to it. There wasn't anger at Hampden. Just apathy. That's a sure sign things are at an end. I felt for the keeper tonight. You could see his confidence was shot after the first 10 minutes. 800 days since we gubbed Spain. It seems 800 years now!

You've missed the worst defended corner in recent history.

Don't see why minorities have to do as they're told by absolute scum who bully and scapegoat behind legal jargon while broadcasting their empty vessel bigotry.

Dominic Cummings taking down Boris Johnson now seems like two siblings quarreling over the last scone at a picnic from a Jane Austen novel. Spectacularly fun from afar, but at the same time just as awful for the rank and file Americans, whose lives they continue to ruin.

Was the crime gang called "Westminster MP's expenses"?

You can hardly expect someone selling arms to (and by association being complicit with) a regime committing genocide to answer a reasonable question about it.

Thankfully, the season for me starts on 12th July against Dunfermline. First pre-season friendly on 28th June. It's nice to have a wee break though.

Last season, all the group stage games that weren't on their channels were instead streamed. It's how I got to see the wonders of Stranraer v Ross County and Dunfermline v Forfar. I wonder if they'll stream the game at Stirling as I'd imagine a bumper crowd there.

Says the man who point-blank refused to turn up for a by-election debate. Absolutely no principles, just grubby hands reaching out for that greasy pole.

By coincidence I have The Thick Of It on. This is definitely Nicola Murray-ish.

Proper Group of Death that one, with a local game thrown in! Easily the best group drawn.

This is perhaps something @scotnational.bsky.social may be interested in, being the only newspaper to consistently report on the attrocities in Gaza and the public revulsion of it.

Jim Hacker had to reveal to his two rivals that one was a sex case and the other was a crook to make them drop out.
Angela Rayner will need something else, as they now seem to be the qualifications neeed these days.
