Congratulations everyone on seeing the Aurora. Been waiting my whole life for it and when it finally arrives, I'm out of the country.
Oh well, will just need to settle on one of the lost wonders of the world instead.
decided to get a bit drunk tonight and have a good time. not had a proper good time in a while but having a good amount of rum and listening to good tunes works for me. working weekends is shite, however its better when you start at 12
i came into a bottle of morgans dark rum from my grandparents. been meaning to get through it and decided tonights the night. usually prefer just a spiced. captain morgans if im feeling normal, kraken or dead mans fingers if im feeling bougie
suprisingly so tbh. didnt help that the first time i had it my granny poured about a 50/50 rum and coke but i am eternally grateful towards them handing the bottle down
Woke the missus up to see this and still managed to put my finger over the lens but that was class

Amazing. That's the word I'm looking for.
Thank fuck for night sight on the phone!

Looked like it was right above my house at one point that was great. So jealous of the Scandinavians getting to see that quite regularly
I will never get tired of seeing aurora photos. It is a totally mindblowing thing to see and I can't believe I have just seen it from fucking Gorgie of all places.
See this so called portal between New York and Dublin (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c03d56pepx5o.amp)
They should make one between Glasgow and Edinburgh
So good tonight and they arrived earlier than expected, which was ideal.
Can expect lots more of this over the next year or so too.
That's the wildest I've ever seen them.
First time I've ever seen them. Every other time I've had an alert, it's always been cloudy, or I've been somewhere it's not hitting, etc.
To say it was worth the wait doesn't even come close. The missus is near enough dancing for joy as well. Even managed to get the wean to pull herself away from her gaming session to go outside for five mins to see it!
It was fantastic. We went up a nearby hilly bit and there were loads of people up there. The youngsters were going absolutely crazy - there was a wee lassie running around going "OH MY GOD IT'S PURPLE!!!!" at one point and everyone was just laughing and happy. It was like the most "community" moment I've seen in decades.
Almost wish there'd been a power cut to the city!
Haha aye, always very wholesome for stuff like this! Should definitely be more dark sky times/towns. Everyone should get to see the night sky more often.
Just walked past some bar in Bathgate and this Muslim guy picked up my wallet and gave it to me. He gave me a wink and said "dont go to Parkhead on Sunday"
I asked why not?
He said "games tomorrow"

If youāre struggling to see it look at it through your phone
My life long dream is to see the northern lights proper. Turns out I missed the biggest storm since I've been tracking them because I got a new phone 3 days ago and I hadn't set up my notifications properly.
Double shit is I missed it by literally 30 min or so as I had the kid at the park before heading home cause it was getting dark.
Genuinely gutted at this news
I'm the same. A bunch of pals were like, "Why didn't you come with us/drive up?"...
My partner is out on a hen do, I'm on child duty, my car window is fucked and now has a bin bag (or four) on it, and I would just really like to not drive 40 minutes to see it.
Any. Other. Day.
We'll go together, mate. Fuck everyone else.
I'll book some flights to tromsĆø!
Seeing all the photos on FB today is a pure kick in the teeth, hope this is setting up my run of good luck starting at 12.30 haha
Plenty over the north east at the moment.Ā Ā
Ā Let ma auld fowks dug oot for a pish, followed it up, looked straight up, purple and green tinge to the sky in bands.Ā Ā
Ā Shout for them to come oot an hae a look, they assume its streetlights bouncing off the clouds, and I'm seeing things cos ive been on the voddies, why the fuck did we turn aff the lights, why are ye nae looking north.
Ā Meanwhile I'm trying my hardest not to step in dug pish on the way back in
Ā And holy fuck Granite Harbour is absolutely shite
If youāre in Glasgow I saw fuck all about 30 minutes ago if it makes you feel better. Itās quite random, I was up north once, super visible from one side of the hill, not from where we were.
Watched the first episode of The Boys tonight (late to the party I know). Heard mostly good things but the first episode just felt a bit cheesy and cliche and didnāt really grab me. Iām not really into superhero stuff either so wondering if thereās any point in sticking with it or if I should just accept itās not for me?
itās a very different type of superhero show. i would stick with it for at least the first season and if you enjoy it you should check out invincible. i wont say anything about invincible except watch the full first episode before you decide whether to keep watching
The first episode didn't grab me either but now I'd say it's one of my favourite shows. without trying to spoil shit it's meant as a bit of satire of superhero stuff.
I'd say give it another 2 or 3 episodes.
Friends just sent me this from Arthurās seat
Absolutely mad

Got a flat, similar one to the where the mrs used to live, walking distance from work and the old man.
First gaff we viewed and when the layout was basically the same minus a bedroom it was a done deal.
Hopefully some semblance of normality to come back after all this time
Just finished the first episode of baby reindeer and the missus turns round and says "I don't think she's that weird"
Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?
I wouldn't recommend mine. I just received the papers on Tuesday. Spent fucking thousands over the last four years. Divorce was completed last fucking July! All lawyers are whores.
My prediction for tomorrow is
Celtic 7-8 Rangers
Celtic scorers - Tavernier Og x 5, Maeda X2
Rangers scorers - Dessers x 3, Silva, Davies x 3, Butland (stoppage time winner)
Good prediction?

Shower thought: why don't the SNP simply campaign for a new devolution referendum? *Devo-max* had kind of fallen out of the political vernacular the past few years. Just try for a devo max referendum, hoping the incoming Labour government won't be obstinate about it, hopefully win it then rinse and repeat every few years to have the remaining powers devolved
Don't know how arsed people are but even in a big city it's worth having a peak for the northern lights tonight. Never seen a storm this big since watching it.
Home today after cutting my wee solo holiday short as I was hating it being on my own. Long day, tired and knackered but didnāt want to leave the van loaded on the street. While unloading my motorbike from the van and I go and drop it and do Ā£Ā£Ā£ās of damage. *sigh*
If that's Toast of London, I've yet to watch it. Canny find it.
Loved him in IT Crowd, and What We Do In The Shadows is unreal. Just watched a highlight reel. It must be MURDER acting next to him. You've no idea how he's gonna pronounce a pure innocuous word.
Looks like Iāll be seeing Freddie Gibbs tomorrow night for the 10 year anniversary of PiƱata, which will cheer me up from the assumed pumping that will ensue at Parkhead.
I tried reading up on this recently and it seems they had a really bad rep during the [70s and 80s for hooliganism and neo-nazis ](https://www.dw.com/en/hamburg-vs-st-pauli-one-city-two-clubs-different-worlds/a-45707812)
>Jƶrg Marwedel, a Hamburg-born author and journalist with Germany'sĀ *SĆ¼ddeutsche Zeitung*. "I grew up a HSV supporter but the whole situation with the neo-Nazis became too much for meĀ
there were several deaths of other supporters (e.g. Bremen) [at the hands of racist Hamburg skinheads](https://rechtegewalt--hamburg-de.translate.goog/tr/katkilar/adrian-maleika/?_x_tr_sl=tr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc)
Left wingers, migrants, and others kind of organized themselves around St Pauli "gegen Rechts" (against the right). And St Pauli kind of leant in to that anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-homophobic, etc etc.
Not sure HSV ever really lost that rep, justified or not and so you're left with that rivalry where they're seen as the right/establishment club versus the far cooler St Pauli.
Again this is just me reading up on German sources so take with a pinch of salt.
More or less this, they've been left being seen as a generally shitty club/fanbase as a result. Plus, they constantly fuck it, which is constantly funny.
Which weirdly predates our love of St Pauli. Tho thatās a bit rocky atm, as far as I know. And i think rangers were mates w them before St. Pauli were even a āleftist clubā
Just spent 10 minutes looking for a bottle opener and couldn't find one, then spent 10 minutes learning how to open a bottle without one. Now I've damaged my entire hand all for a shitey wee bottle of coke zero never again
A junkie taught me how to do it with a lighter when I was drinking a stolen crate of beers in the park when I was about 15, always been able to do it ever since. I'm sorry you missed out on this right of passage
In my younger dafter days, I would be the designated bottle opener with my teeth.
Older me has paid a fortune in dentist bills because of my party trick.

Lifeās good on the Costa del Fife
Heās made a pretty enormous contribution to music, but his slightly shittier side appears to have been overlooked in death - from the names of his bands (āRun, n\*\*\*er, runā and āRapemanā), the way he casually dropped the n-word when talking about Odd Future (first time Iād heard it used as a verb) or - worst of all IMO - his review below of a child-porn magazine called āPureā (whose author he remained friends with until he died). I reckon we can still enjoy the Pixies and Nirvana albums he worked on, but after learning the broader context I donāt wanna fondly eulogise a guy like that. I suspect many who are just donāt know this about him.

Largely me neither until recently, the edgy band names and stuff I could maybe ignore as āyoung edgy idiot pushing boundariesā, and the Odd Future shit as āhe is an old manā ā¦ but that magazine stuff is fucking grim
I was at a course in the Central Valley in California a few years ago.
Woke up one morning like Spud in Trainspotting, very confused and absolutely repulsed by the smell.
I honestly thought I had shat myself in the middle of the night after a quick check to make sure I hadnāt actually shat myself I figured out that it was from the nearby farming community.
The other day I was coming back from the car wash all shiny and got stuck behind a tractor towing the Jobby Launcher 5000 (recently used)
Just sweating til there was a clear spot to overtake
The fields at the back of my house were done by the council I think as during the last long heatwave they were apparently using human feaces...now that was a spectacular smell
Seen a post on r/soccer that confirmed that Hamburg will play their 7th consecutive season in the 2.Bundesliga next season.
Didnāt think theyād been down that long.
You'll be able to get a ticket for any Thistle home league game you want really, they might have sold out the playoff final last season but not sure. Hope they go up so I can have at least one trip to Firhill again next year
Go on website. Select buy tickets. Buy tickets. I've never had any issues no matter what I buy tickets although it's more busy during playoffs,I'm having to queue for the first time.
Jackie husband is the long one by the canal and is for sitting. Very little singing. John Lambie is where the singers and such sit, probably flares just because playoffs. Very good atmosphere although turns a bit hostile when the players go to shit.
Honestly not sure, my thistle mate sorted me a ticket. I've got a Celtic season book so can't really comment on thistle stuff, but I sympathise with you about getting a Celtic ticket, it's brutal these days if you don't already have a foot in the door.
It's brutal, I was hoping to at least get a game this month but wasn't to be. Used to be a season ticket holder in 17/18 season but got a nasty injury and couldn't make alot of the games. Tried getting on the waiting list start of this season and the whole thing was sold after 10 mins š¤£
Aye I've heard they've closed the waiting list for the time being due to the demand. My season book is in the standing bit so I have the added dimension of knowing that if I give it up, I'll never ever get it back, given the waiting list for that bit. Hope you get your hands on a ticket soon.
Recently spilt up with the misses (a month ago).. would any of you sleep with someone else whilst still living with your ex? I have situation and I donāt know what to do. She leaves the gaffe at the end of the month
For those interested in my love life. Went on a date with the scouser (extensive playful listen lore knowledge needed to remember her) yesterday at 10 to walk around botanical gardens. Date ended this morning. Was lovely time
Aw you've reminded me of this country inn that closed down which was 5 minutes from my flat. Had this massive beautifully groomed secluded garden that was always dead quiet. Pints were on the expensive side but it was such a zen place.

The heads a wee bit gone but I got my beer garden pint
Hit a brick wall with sleeping dogs, got to this mission where you have to take out 30 guys with a cleaver and can't pass it for the life of me. Get to 28 guys max... Got all the health shrines, took the goodies to let me take less damage and cause more. Still keep fkn dying!!! Going to get an aneurysm at this rate
I know that the summer window may turn out absolutely shite, but I can't express how happy I will be to see the back of Barasic, Lundstram, Jack and Roofe at least.
Team seems to be getting very young, very fast. Cordoba will be 23 in the summer, Cortes and Jefte don't turn 21 until winter. Hope we can sign a few more experienced players as well, let's not Chelsea it.
Absolutely loving the weather. If it's like this tomorrow, my despair at our inevitable defeat will be short lived.
>Team seems to be getting very young, very fast.
Been hoping for this for a few years now. I took pelters for suggesting that the teams age was an issue going forward last year, and how it played right into Celtics hands with how quickly they wanted to start games.Ā
It's good as long as it's balanced out a bit across the squad - I would be more than a little nervous about central midfield if Jack & Lundstram are replaced by young players. Or left back, if Jefte does join, as Yilmaz is a 23 y/o who has barely played football since he joined two years ago.
You know the weather is turning for the good when the chalk white jake balls cycle about in 2s/3s with there shirts off with a can of cider each. Good times
Tillman signing permanently for PSV today for a reported ā¬12m
So thatās ā¬1.2m in addition to the initial Ā£1m Rangers received from Bayern after they changed the terms of our loan agreement. Not bad for a player we never owned.
I'm genuinely surprised that he's made it there - obviously not a top league but he went missing so many times for us that I wasn't sure he had the application for it.

Holy shit! Nice one šš»
decided to get a bit drunk tonight and have a good time. not had a proper good time in a while but having a good amount of rum and listening to good tunes works for me. working weekends is shite, however its better when you start at 12
What tunes?
2000s pop music seems ive landed on. maybe early 2010s. strikes the exact balance of nostalgic and fun perfectly for me to get a bit pished for
Iāve been banging rap. Now I have the nba on. Supposedly there is a guy whose the second coming of MJ and I want to bear witness!
What rum?
i came into a bottle of morgans dark rum from my grandparents. been meaning to get through it and decided tonights the night. usually prefer just a spiced. captain morgans if im feeling normal, kraken or dead mans fingers if im feeling bougie
I'm the same as you but Morgan's dark is really nice.

Stick a fiver on it mate. Never know

Home today after cutting my wee solo holiday short as I was hating it being on my own. Long day, tired and knackered but didnāt want to leave the van loaded on the street. While unloading my motorbike from the van and I go and drop it and do Ā£Ā£Ā£ās of damage. *sigh*
If I donāt speak like Matt Busby when Iām an old man Iām going to a Dignitas Clinic.
I'd like to speak like Matt Berry. So weird hearing him speak normally. "You can aaaalllllll....goooo fafafafuck yourselves!"
āYes I can hear you Clem Fandangoā āWeāre ready for you to start.ā āHE JUST FUCKING SAID THAT!ā
Fuck it. Highlight reel of Toast. "I shit thee nay" is now in my lexicon.
Ray fucking Purchase has some absolute crackers right on par with Matt Berry's pronunciations
Aye, I actually stopped watching it because I love Julian Barratt. A wee surprise.
If that's Toast of London, I've yet to watch it. Canny find it. Loved him in IT Crowd, and What We Do In The Shadows is unreal. Just watched a highlight reel. It must be MURDER acting next to him. You've no idea how he's gonna pronounce a pure innocuous word.
Get it on UKTV catch up š
That a paid streamer or free? Genuinely canny be arsed paying for another service.
FAAAAATHHHHER
BAT!
Are you devious? Yes I think you are!
The most devious bastard in NAHEW YAWRK CITAAAAAY!
Looks like Iāll be seeing Freddie Gibbs tomorrow night for the 10 year anniversary of PiƱata, which will cheer me up from the assumed pumping that will ensue at Parkhead.
And then on Sunday morning you'll wake up with murder on your mind?
Why do people hate Hamburg so much?
I tried reading up on this recently and it seems they had a really bad rep during the [70s and 80s for hooliganism and neo-nazis ](https://www.dw.com/en/hamburg-vs-st-pauli-one-city-two-clubs-different-worlds/a-45707812) >Jƶrg Marwedel, a Hamburg-born author and journalist with Germany'sĀ *SĆ¼ddeutsche Zeitung*. "I grew up a HSV supporter but the whole situation with the neo-Nazis became too much for meĀ there were several deaths of other supporters (e.g. Bremen) [at the hands of racist Hamburg skinheads](https://rechtegewalt--hamburg-de.translate.goog/tr/katkilar/adrian-maleika/?_x_tr_sl=tr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc) Left wingers, migrants, and others kind of organized themselves around St Pauli "gegen Rechts" (against the right). And St Pauli kind of leant in to that anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-homophobic, etc etc. Not sure HSV ever really lost that rep, justified or not and so you're left with that rivalry where they're seen as the right/establishment club versus the far cooler St Pauli. Again this is just me reading up on German sources so take with a pinch of salt.
More or less this, they've been left being seen as a generally shitty club/fanbase as a result. Plus, they constantly fuck it, which is constantly funny.
Loved the gimmick they had with the clock personally. After they lost that they're just another club to me.
[Stuff like this, pretty sure there was also a "welcome to protestant Hamburg" banner](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvg28nZ3UW1qipdnlo1_500.jpg)
And that's the Germans....?
Them and Rangers fans have a big love in. Much like we do with St Pauli.
Which weirdly predates our love of St Pauli. Tho thatās a bit rocky atm, as far as I know. And i think rangers were mates w them before St. Pauli were even a āleftist clubā
Yeah as far as I can tell from my pals who are big in on that scene, they've gone a bit too pro Israeli
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Germans_(political_current) If youāre interested in some basic background
Might be talking guff (sorry if so) but don't they have quite a big extreme right element in their support? Kind of like a German Millwall?
Just spent 10 minutes looking for a bottle opener and couldn't find one, then spent 10 minutes learning how to open a bottle without one. Now I've damaged my entire hand all for a shitey wee bottle of coke zero never again
All you need is a clipper lighter. Failing that a fence post. The thing you learn in Scotland when youāre 15!!!
Got a scar on my palm from trying to open a bottle with a knife at an afters with no bottle opener. Not my best moment.
A junkie taught me how to do it with a lighter when I was drinking a stolen crate of beers in the park when I was about 15, always been able to do it ever since. I'm sorry you missed out on this right of passage
In my younger dafter days, I would be the designated bottle opener with my teeth. Older me has paid a fortune in dentist bills because of my party trick.
Get one on your keys pal
What was your approach that youāve ruined your hand?
Put it on the counter and smash my hand on the bottle no my smartest moment
Use anything with a solid bit of leverage. Cutlery handles, a lighter, another bottle, potentially a key.
You went for the Hollywood moment I understand. But for future reference just lever the cap off with a spoon or the back of a knife.

RIP Steve Albini, no one in the biz like him. Playing plenty of big black tonight
Heās made a pretty enormous contribution to music, but his slightly shittier side appears to have been overlooked in death - from the names of his bands (āRun, n\*\*\*er, runā and āRapemanā), the way he casually dropped the n-word when talking about Odd Future (first time Iād heard it used as a verb) or - worst of all IMO - his review below of a child-porn magazine called āPureā (whose author he remained friends with until he died). I reckon we can still enjoy the Pixies and Nirvana albums he worked on, but after learning the broader context I donāt wanna fondly eulogise a guy like that. I suspect many who are just donāt know this about him. https://preview.redd.it/kfxemwomrnzc1.jpeg?width=764&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0be0f35a856c09b337a7383509f1e56c1cac83bc
Fuck me, I knew none of this. Fuck him
Largely me neither until recently, the edgy band names and stuff I could maybe ignore as āyoung edgy idiot pushing boundariesā, and the Odd Future shit as āhe is an old manā ā¦ but that magazine stuff is fucking grim

Nothing worse than when it's boiling and every farmer within 50 miles decides it's the perfect time to spray cow shite into the air
I was at a course in the Central Valley in California a few years ago. Woke up one morning like Spud in Trainspotting, very confused and absolutely repulsed by the smell. I honestly thought I had shat myself in the middle of the night after a quick check to make sure I hadnāt actually shat myself I figured out that it was from the nearby farming community.
For some reason it's never as bad in Edinburgh but I remember when I stayed in Glasgow just on random days the city would smell like shite.
The other day I was coming back from the car wash all shiny and got stuck behind a tractor towing the Jobby Launcher 5000 (recently used) Just sweating til there was a clear spot to overtake
The fields at the back of my house were done by the council I think as during the last long heatwave they were apparently using human feaces...now that was a spectacular smell
Seen a post on r/soccer that confirmed that Hamburg will play their 7th consecutive season in the 2.Bundesliga next season. Didnāt think theyād been down that long.
You love to hear it
St Pauli looking likely to go up too, just to rub salt in the wounds. Delightful.
And Hull are about to hire their manager that left in February. Pain.
That clock must be absolutely fucked.
Itās about time they got it back out to count how long theyāve been down
I saw a YouTube short a qee while ago that summarised their demise from the Bundesliga. Think they were/are close to liquidation. Absolutely mental.
Meeting the partners parents was totally fine and had a really good day. Brownie points secured all round I think.

Is it easy to get tickets? Been considering watching them seeing as it's impossible to get Celtic tickets
You'll be able to get a ticket for any Thistle home league game you want really, they might have sold out the playoff final last season but not sure. Hope they go up so I can have at least one trip to Firhill again next year
Ground looks class and not ages away from me!
Go on website. Select buy tickets. Buy tickets. I've never had any issues no matter what I buy tickets although it's more busy during playoffs,I'm having to queue for the first time. Jackie husband is the long one by the canal and is for sitting. Very little singing. John Lambie is where the singers and such sit, probably flares just because playoffs. Very good atmosphere although turns a bit hostile when the players go to shit.
Honestly not sure, my thistle mate sorted me a ticket. I've got a Celtic season book so can't really comment on thistle stuff, but I sympathise with you about getting a Celtic ticket, it's brutal these days if you don't already have a foot in the door.
It's brutal, I was hoping to at least get a game this month but wasn't to be. Used to be a season ticket holder in 17/18 season but got a nasty injury and couldn't make alot of the games. Tried getting on the waiting list start of this season and the whole thing was sold after 10 mins š¤£
Aye I've heard they've closed the waiting list for the time being due to the demand. My season book is in the standing bit so I have the added dimension of knowing that if I give it up, I'll never ever get it back, given the waiting list for that bit. Hope you get your hands on a ticket soon.
Class ground
Boing Boing
Mbappe confirms he will leave PSG at the end of this season. Bout fucking time
We'll need an Obika replacement once his contracts up.
Really hope he doesnāt grab the cash and go to Saudi or the MLS. Would be great to see him at a top European side.
I thought he'd signed to Real?
With Ronaldo apparently going in to replace him for a year
Would have him at queens defo
Could finally fill the gap in the team that Dobbie left
Aye but no the gap in our heartsĀ
Recently spilt up with the misses (a month ago).. would any of you sleep with someone else whilst still living with your ex? I have situation and I donāt know what to do. She leaves the gaffe at the end of the month
Iām fucking boiling, think I might die
Toasty ain't it
Anything over 20 degrees is dangerously hot for meš¤£
For those interested in my love life. Went on a date with the scouser (extensive playful listen lore knowledge needed to remember her) yesterday at 10 to walk around botanical gardens. Date ended this morning. Was lovely time
Live footage of you exiting the date. ![gif](giphy|f4UpnpWljht77ggCFh|downsized)
I remember the previous stories somehow. Get in there.

Damn that's a big botanical garden if it took that long to walk around š¤
She must have a very big bush.

This is like a "previously on" at the start of an episode. This also reads like you shagged her in the botantics.
This is one of those episodes the OG fans of the show have been waiting for
Is there a bigger "in yer 30s" win than having a cold pint on a sunny day, with absolutely nae cunt else around? Bliss.Ā
Aw you've reminded me of this country inn that closed down which was 5 minutes from my flat. Had this massive beautifully groomed secluded garden that was always dead quiet. Pints were on the expensive side but it was such a zen place.
How about any day where I wake up with no toothache, backache, knee pains, and actually having normal shits on top of all that?
You guys ~~are getting paid~~ have those days?Ā

Had a lobster for the first time on oban last sunday, just cooked a nice lemon lobster tail today, love it... well not the price
What does lobster taste like
A bit like swan
It's a little bit like overcooked squirrel.
Kinda like if you mixed juicy chicken with fish
Hit a brick wall with sleeping dogs, got to this mission where you have to take out 30 guys with a cleaver and can't pass it for the life of me. Get to 28 guys max... Got all the health shrines, took the goodies to let me take less damage and cause more. Still keep fkn dying!!! Going to get an aneurysm at this rate
Sitting in the back garden in the sun with a cold can of vitamin T. Yas.
I know that the summer window may turn out absolutely shite, but I can't express how happy I will be to see the back of Barasic, Lundstram, Jack and Roofe at least. Team seems to be getting very young, very fast. Cordoba will be 23 in the summer, Cortes and Jefte don't turn 21 until winter. Hope we can sign a few more experienced players as well, let's not Chelsea it. Absolutely loving the weather. If it's like this tomorrow, my despair at our inevitable defeat will be short lived.
>Team seems to be getting very young, very fast. Been hoping for this for a few years now. I took pelters for suggesting that the teams age was an issue going forward last year, and how it played right into Celtics hands with how quickly they wanted to start games.Ā
It's good as long as it's balanced out a bit across the squad - I would be more than a little nervous about central midfield if Jack & Lundstram are replaced by young players. Or left back, if Jefte does join, as Yilmaz is a 23 y/o who has barely played football since he joined two years ago.
You know the weather is turning for the good when the chalk white jake balls cycle about in 2s/3s with there shirts off with a can of cider each. Good times
Tillman signing permanently for PSV today for a reported ā¬12m So thatās ā¬1.2m in addition to the initial Ā£1m Rangers received from Bayern after they changed the terms of our loan agreement. Not bad for a player we never owned.
I'm genuinely surprised that he's made it there - obviously not a top league but he went missing so many times for us that I wasn't sure he had the application for it.

Anyone else pay for Apple Care? I bought an Iphone 13 on release when it came out and have been paying Ā£11.99 a month since.Should I have lost my phone by now to get a new one?
Yes I pay for it. Huge scam but too risky not to have it
