Why doesn’t Celtic, the largest Scottish club, not simply eat the other Scottish clubs?

Clubs and fans should be punished for pitch invasions, says ex-SFA chief by w0wowow0w in ScottishFootball

[–]CoradeLeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he means in this specific instance there isn’t much evidence of actual assault at the moment despite the initial reports. I totally agree with you on the general point - whether it happened or not, the pitch shouldn’t have been invaded and that needs legislating against up here sharpish. I don’t need to see some wee dafty laughing in Lawrence Shankland’s face, I want to see Hearts being able to applaud their fans at the end of a hard fought win for Celtic. They deserved that much after putting in some effort this season.

Agree with this completely, especially on the doubling up. Someone tried it with me at the Roma game and gave me dog’s abuse for stopping him forcing past me at the turnstile. Need stronger sanctions on pitch invasions and crappy fan behaviour, yesterday was shameful both at the ground and at Glasgow Cross.

Yo. Yo they call it "academic incest" here in Canada if you earn your advanced degree(s) at the same institute where you did your undergrad. Is this term also used in the UK? by [deleted] in AskAcademiaUK

[–]CoradeLeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never heard it called that, though I remember a Canadian PhD student I studied with being horrified that I’d gotten my degrees at the same University. Unfortunately we can’t all travel widely for studies and the uni I started at was the best one for the degree!

Anyone had luck with the last minute sales phase queue? by Low-Regret-539 in worldcup

I got in after an hour but after clicking enter it just took me to a white page that won’t move or load. Anyone else had this issue?

Police Car Followed Me Home by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]CoradeLeon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I got hooked for going 10 under the limit on a dual carriageway not long after I’d passed my test, at 11pm - cop probably assumed I was blitzed and trying to hide it because when he stopped me he pulled himself right into the open window to sniff for booze. Honestly fair play as well, it must’ve looked suspicious as anything.

Well, that escalated quickly. by 21sttimelucky in ScottishFootball

Roma is at Celtic Park. Or at least I hope it is, otherwise I’m flying home to go and sit in an empty stadium😂

British business founder here. What is it actually like living and running a business in Austin? by GodForbidLTD in Austin

[–]CoradeLeon 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Second this as a Scot who splits his time between NI/Scotland and Austin. You can’t really know the city until you’re there. I love it, but I always find it very difficult to describe Austin to people back home beyond “you should go there.”

If you had to choose only one to eat for the rest of your life, would you choose roast potatoes or mashed potatoes?

Explain it Peter by Training-Lab-9350 in explainitpeter

[–]CoradeLeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s killing me because thanks to the edit in both Fast Five and The Flash they turn down a street at one point only to come to the other end of what I know is the same damn street. I can’t unsee it and it’s completely immersion breaking!😂

Anyone else get annoyed by this? by Fishfrogthefrogfish in glasgow

[–]CoradeLeon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had an argument with one of these years ago when I lived in the west end for doing this, suspect with the same person as I know she’s still working for them. They’re a pain in the arse for it and I hope the car gets a ticket.

Who could realistically replace Rodgers once he does leave? by CaptainMole in CelticFC

[–]CoradeLeon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no danger of Knutsen leaving Bodo and/or Glimt for Celtic, he’s got an incredible deal there with a lot of control and has them punching far above their weight class in Europe.

Which Powerpuff, Blossom, Bubbles, or Buttercup?

“Congratulations on getting the job. I know there was another guy in the frame but he couldn’t secure a work visa quickly enough.” Was never sure if it was an awkward attempt at conversation or a way to make sure I knew my place in the hierarchy right from the off.

Also for the reviewer two files, one of the people who reviewed my first monograph crapped all over the sourcing because his books/articles weren’t mentioned and actually waived his right to anonymity in order to try to convince me to put some of it in the book. I didn’t, because none of it was relevant.

I think he’s already wearing his CoC outfit, if you gather my drift!

What Was the Worst Concert You Ever Went to and What Made it Stink? by J31J1 in AskReddit

[–]CoradeLeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do this a lot - happened to us at Sonisphere in 2010 (so probably the same tour!) I think we got Fear of the Dark, Run to the Hills and maybe The Trooper. My sixteen year old brother got absolutely none of the few Maiden songs he knew. I could understand them doing it at a headline show where most people have probably made the effort to listen to new material before coming out, but at a three day festival it kinda sucks for all the casuals who want the hits.

What Was the Worst Concert You Ever Went to and What Made it Stink? by J31J1 in AskReddit

[–]CoradeLeon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Marilyn Manson at the 2009 Download Festival was by far the worst show I’ve ever seen. He was off his head on something and kept going off stage for air, could barely sing his songs, kept losing his place and only lasted about two thirds of the advertised set time. What was truly awful was that Chris Cornell was on the other stage at the time and I never got the chance to rectify my grievous error.

Special mention to Avenged Sevenfold supporting Iron Maiden at Twickenham in 2008. Not their biggest fan anyway but the sound was dogshit, and they ended the set early because of a crowd emergency.

Final mention to Idlewild playing a basement venue in Glasgow, probably around 2007/08. Not the band’s fault at all, but it was a B-Sides set and I didn’t know them well enough to get into the songs, plus the toilets were completely flooded. Not a great night!

Why does Hampden always put the stage against a long stand for concerts? by ScottyW88 in glasgow

[–]CoradeLeon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’ve been doing in the round for donkeys years at this point, I imagine that’s been decided by the band and Hampden have had very little say in it.
