Other Games 2025-26

[Monty]

Best part of a decade in Edinburgh, I never encountered sectarianism from anyone associated with either of the two city clubs. You can take that foreign nonsense back to Clydeside where it belongs.

We haven't got a toaster any more. The kitchen ceiling fell on ours.

We probably should have put it in the cupboard, in hindsight.

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.

A few years working at BHX gave a rough guide to popular support and in order the shirts being worn during the week were Villa, Liverpool, Manchester United, Small Heath, Wolves, Coventry (these two in a We'll Show the Brummies type of way), Stripeys, Arsenal. Everyone else was the occasional sighting - for all their success, Chelsea and 115 FC rarely registered.

In going to the match terms it was the first three again then Wolves.

Putting a ceiling in a cupboard might have been tricky.

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.

Blimey chaps, Avocados and Guacamole? No wonder blose think Villa fans are from another planet.

Much like Digne in our SF, what the bloody hell is the Motherwell players hand doing there, in his own penalty box in the 99th minute?

Know someone who worked at Heart's and was a very important employee at the youth academy,he had to keep quiet that he was a Catholic born in Northern Ireland

My mate Scotch Dave, originally from Riddrie always called Hearts the Bluenoses of Edinburgh.

Still doesn't look a penalty to me ,I looked at it over and over again

[Brend'Watkins]

I thought it was a foul and therefore a penalty. Jumping and leading with your arm was outlawed years ago.
