One of my best mates is a Hearts fan. 
He is going up to Edinburgh on his tod on Saturday to hopefully be in the pub to watch them win the title.
He actually doesn’t put his toaster in a cupboard.
Long story.

Does anyone still think the game isn’t approaching corrupt?

Jamie Bryson isn't happy about it either. https://x.com/JamieBrysonLLB/status/2054667717441905128

Please don’t retweet that detestable hate monger on here. He doesn’t deserve any attention.
He is a deplorable little Scrote.

Even if the game is / was fixed etc.

Considering the game hadn’t finished will Celtic be punished for their fans piling on the pitch from 2 sides of the ground?

I've always thought Hibs were the only team to support in Scotland. Lovely fair minded people. Home of Des Bremner, Alex Cropley and a lad called McGinn. Saint Martin vs Rangers-lite? I could care more. Giant hailstones please.

Fuckin Fenians
There a few fucking Fenians (Catlics)on my side of the family

And I attended three different Irish-speaking schools. Before my 9th birthday! It's my Guinness World Record entry 8)

Kneecap have reclaimed the F word as a badge of honour. Just leaning into it  :)

But I want the underdog to win, couldn't give a shite who puts a toaster in the cupboard and who leaves it outside of "de press'.
Well you should know what it means to Rangers and Hearts support then

Anyhow.
It still looks like Arsenal will win the title.

I hope everybody keeps their bananas seperate from other fruit. Bananas react if kept with other fruit and they go off quicker.

 

Very good for ripening avocados though

I don’t like avocados - but I quite like quacamoli.

Chance of still winning the title with a couple of games to go and loads of empty seats at the Etihad

Pathetic
That is why I can’t take the proposed 60k capacity for Blues’s new stadium seriously. I don’t mean that they won’t do it, just that there is no way to sensibly justify that capacity on the basis of football.

You get Blues supporters saying that they are a historically well-supported club, and if they are in the.Premier League they will automatically generate the demand to fill it.

However, Man City have had one of the most successful 15-year periods of any club, ever, and they still don’t have a 60k capacity. That can only be because they haven’t had the demand to justify it. This is despite them enjoying unprecedented success, having access to virtually infinite funds, and being a historically better-supported club than Blues.

I think Blues’s proposed 60k capacity is primarily generated by other events rather than football, regardless of what Blues fans might try to convince themselves.

'Taig' is the one I was called a few times up in Glasgow.

I went to Ibrox to see the architecture and wow, the locals can spot an Irish head alright. We were made to feel not very welcome, to put it mildly.
