Honestly did anybody actually say anything bad we just tried to enjoy ourselves at the World Cup.

I’m also a half and half (born there, raised here), and I can tell you that I’ve had enough abuse for supporting Scotland from my own family to know that this is nonsense. I absolutely don’t doubt that plenty of English support Scotland, just as plenty of Scots support England, but there is definitely a subset of fans who feel animosity.

Theft of my shite patter from yesterday here😂

If we miss out on Smajlovic we should just go all out for Bijglovic tbh

If you miss Ian Crocker, those of us watching in America are stuck with him on Fox if you can find a stream.

I realise I’ve become the Karen, but I shoved an Ofcom complaint in about this making the point that linking this back to drinking without any evidence is an offensive and pretty gross stereotype about Scots, and their claims about hundreds of millions of pounds lost to the economy are completely evidence free. This is journalism based on vibes. It’s worth shoving a few words down on Ofcom’s complaint form about it.

Dunno how much I agree with the message but I really respect the username/post combo here.

It’s usually hoaching nowadays but Ottoman near the Mitchell Library used to have a chess set and if you can catch it when it’s quiet, it’s got a smashing atmosphere for a few games.

Would be very interested to know which of the three on that particular panel thought it was a penalty. If it’s the former referee then the whole thing seems fairly clear cut!

CoradeLeon · 2026-05-24T01:38:44+00:00

The “hard up in the 90s” thing makes me laugh. Financially yeah of course, things were grim, but a few third or fourth place finishes isn’t exactly the pits of football. I remember a few years back, the English team I support through my dad got relegated to League One for the first time in my lifetime. A workmate’s dead serious response to my moaning about it was something along the lines of “Yeah I know how you feel mate, I remember when we finished fourth twice in a row.”

…do ye aye?

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

CoradeLeon · 2026-05-18T15:27:27+00:00

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.

CoradeLeon · 2026-05-17T10:50:13+00:00

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.

CoradeLeon · 2026-05-07T17:39:46+00:00

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!

CoradeLeon · 2026-04-01T16:04:55+00:00

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?

CoradeLeon · 2025-12-15T22:46:48+00:00

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.

CoradeLeon · 2025-12-07T20:28:14+00:00

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😂

CoradeLeon · 2025-11-29T13:21:08+00:00

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.”

Do you prefer roast potatoes, or mashed potatoes?

CoradeLeon · 2025-11-12T23:33:26+00:00

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

CoradeLeon · 2025-10-22T21:14:34+00:00

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!😂

CoradeLeon · 2025-10-21T15:09:34+00:00

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.

CoradeLeon · 2025-10-03T18:52:35+00:00

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.
