'Surprised at the response to this. Royal wedding? WTF. I'd rather listen to the sound of daisies growing in the meadow. The most borng couple since the Captain and Tenille, in the most boring city since Reading. I wish them every happiness but I wish they would spend their own money. But they won't. I cannot understand why Scots keep that institution alive. The Scottish Parliament should declare independence from Royalty. Rabbie wrote a poem about a mouse. Some one should write a poem about leeches. Like the Hanover/Windsors. Regardless of spit or swallow, the Scots should stop swallowing the crap that, against the laws of physics, flows uphill from South to North, then spit out that Royal thing. Aristos have been the bane of Scotland for 700 years. Unfortunately, I suspect that it will continue because of apathy. People don't seem to give a shit. "Be a nation again?" No effing way. Too much pie and a pint, and let's get a kerry-oot, a fish supper and a video. That's happiness these days. Wow! I went off there without meaning to. However, I'm taking nothing back. God save the queens and effemall. Smudge

'Must disagree, me ould mate. Justice is about money. Bocoo bucks buys big-time lawyers. Game over.

Milan? A poor side tonight. they did not deserve anything from this game. Zlatan? Greetin like a lassie's blouse whenever any body came near him. Gatusso? Thug. He picks his targets, though. 'Didn't notice him get stuck into anyone who was young, strong or on the pitch. Eufa should do something about him. Aaron Lennon? Takes me back to the day. Wingers were wingers and... Peter Crouch: I wish my car had his horsepower. He ran his lungs oot. I enjoyed the hell out of this game. It showed the best of Prem football and the worst of the Italian game. I hope that Spurs gub them in the return game. Smudge

No, I wasn't at the game. I missed the bus. 4-0? I can only think that you and me were watching different games. No problem though, Widge, that's the way football is. Everybody sees it differently. As for the 'fishing' comment; I don't know what that means. Smudge

I suspect that I'm going to get stick for this but, anyway. I've just watched Saints v Hearts and here's what I think I saw: Duberry. A great player unless he has to make a pass longer than two yards. 'Waste of space. Jody Morris. Long past his sell-by date, but a great player who owns his midfield. Stevie May. A good young player who has more guts than a canal horse. Cleveland Taylor. Nice young player who will be better when he learns that he doesn't have to go down whenever an opposing player is within ten yards of him. I don't think that Saints deserved to lose that game. They have proven scorers like Jacko, Peaso, Parkin and Samuel (another waste of space), who just don't seem to score. WTF? I don't know if it's a matter of tactics, the shortcomings of the manager or the phase of the moon, but that display was dire. My solution? Forget about it, too many bones have whitened on that quest. I will just continue to shout for the Boys, scream my lungs oot and be forever a Saintee. Smudge

Sorry to hear that Nat has passed away, What a footballer he was. Unfortunately, he often saved his brilliance for playing games against Scotland. Rest in peace, old son. You were a brammer. Smudge

True, but it seems that in the English game that dive is almost the default position. At least ninety percent of penalty shouts are bogus. However, between the ref and the linesman surely they can judge the quality and effect of a tackle. I doubt that a fifth official behind the goal would have given that as a penalty. For me, it's an argument for goal-area technology. As for delaying the game; they waste more time in arguing the call and swinging purses at each other. (And, incidentally, telling the ref to **** off). 'Fings ain't what they used to be. Smudge

Let me preface by saying that I'm no Liverpool fan. That said, I think they got jobbed on Sunday. That penalty looked to be a triumph for divers and cheats. Berbatov should be ashamed. A player of his gifts shouldn't have to dive. I watched the tackle from (probably) every conceivable angle and Berbatov started to dive as soon as contact was made. Disgusting. I think Webb made a bad mistake their. He's beginning to believe too much in his own newspaper clippings. I agree witrh the sending off, however, and I think it was a brave decision. With ten men Liverpool played a good game and might have gotten a draw. Reina played a blinder and a tie might have been a fairer result. Man U is going to have to do something about scoring goals.

From the long, long ago: Best game I ever saw on the road was at Ibrox when Alex Ferguson scored a hat-trick against the Rangers. I swear that I went mental that day, and there are those who say I've never recovered. When I'm on 'me meds I just say; well, fuzz them. The second also was against bigot central in a cup semi-final at Poxy Parkheed. We took through a good support to Wegie. The Saints went 2-0 up fairly early in the game and I thought the impossible dream was about to come true. However, a wee blonde diving git took two dives and got two penalties. I think it was Johnny Hubbard who scored on both. I forget the cheatin' wee batarde but it was Davey something. Saints eventually lost 3-2, I think. The euphoria, though, in the time the Saints had the lead was worth it all. I particularly remember when the Saints were two goals up, a gigantic fella with Rangers colours all over him screaming, "fer feck's sake, Gers. If ye cannie gie' us goals, gie' us blood!" What a prick. Scared the bejasus out of me though. Great memories. Smudge

Living in Hunters, I remember that if you had a drink in your hand, you were welcome in just about every house. If you weren't there to sponge, there was always something to eat and a good sing-song. Nice days but the world has, unfortunately, changed and I'm not always sure it has changed for the better. But it's the only world I have so I'll have to get on with it. Smudge P.S. I doubt that the Eskimo Mink would have been received at the better chateaux in Hunter Crescent, but he would have been more than welcome in mine! S
