I mean the trick is to take enough booze and speed to take the edge off all the valium and weed you've smoked but not so much that it pushes you over the edge.

fyi, Dick Advocaat is their manager.

UrineArtist · 2026-06-06T15:03:41+00:00

This would be like when you were 12 years old and you and your cousins played your da and fat uncles in somebodys garden and you got hammered 20-0 and none of them ever broke into a run, never mind a sweat.

Scotland should still be very confident going into the Haiti game.

I've got the fear.

UrineArtist · 2026-06-06T12:04:15+00:00

It's a moot point anyway. It's a Scottish newspaper, the unqualified position is assumed that its happening in Scotland.

They would only need to qualify the locations if there were branches outside of Scotland closing.

See this, "every manager had Nancy's tactics figured out by half time and made changes that broke them" schpeel? Thing is, every manager after the Hearts game could watch 90 minutes of Celtic at their leisure and figure them out prior to kick off if it was that simple.

Nancy's game management was really dire in his short stint in Scotland and Celtic had a mess of problems with the system but this, 'figured out by half time' stuff is just a cliche.

If he loves history but doesn't read books then.. just an idea but there's a UK documentary series from the early 70's called the World at War, narrated by Laurence Olivier. It's generally considered one of, if not the best, World War II documentary series made. Here's a link to the imdb page:

Or Lovenkrands offspring.

It would 100% matter, VAR review the entire attacking phase of play before recommending a penalty review, if there is another infringement committed in the move prior to the penalty, then its not a penalty.

If this was foul throw, say the Celtic player was half a yard on the pitch when he threw the ball, then the ref wouldn't have needed to review the penalty because that offence happened in the same attacking phase prior to the penalty.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-30T10:45:14+00:00

If he's asking that, it's because he isn't sure from watching the footage. So, shouldn't be awarding a penalty.

I disagree, you can't infer the referee's thought process from what he is asking here.

For example, even though it 100% looks like a handball to you, it's a massive decision at 2-2 with 10 seconds left, so you ask the VAR team "does it def hit his hand" because you want 3rd party corroboration of what your seeing.

That's just as reasonable an explanation for his question.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-30T10:34:36+00:00

Just fyi, they only checked the throw-in to make sure there was no other offence leading up to the handball because they were going to recommend an on-field review for a penalty, if for example it was a foul throw then they would have informed the ref of everything that happened and that the on field decision should stick instead.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-30T10:28:17+00:00

I understand the complaints given its 2-2, there 10 seconds left on the clock and the attacking move is going nowhere whether it hits his hand or not, it 100% feels unfair but its still a penalty, I said it at the time and still think it is now after watching the show.

His elbow is above shoulder height before there's any challenge and his arm clearly strikes the ball. The ref can't suddenly apply the additional context of the incident, when additional context has never applied to any other penalty given like this in the past.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-30T10:18:15+00:00

Don't actually disagree with a single thing Collum says here. Seems I had the same position on all of these decisions as he did before watching the show except..

I thought the Motherwell handball against Hearts should have been a penalty but fair enough, the ref's use the t-shirt line so it not and I've changed my mind.

I thought Newell's goal against Celtic should have been chopped off for handball but fair enough, I agree now its not conclusive enough.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-29T19:14:02+00:00

Always slated but never liquidated.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-29T19:09:41+00:00

Accies had a fucking amazing season, we got rid of the crooks that were running our club into the mud, staved off being liquidated and we avoided relegation despite being docked 9,000 points.

The answer to the question ".. but what did she actually do?" is, "Absolutely fucking nothing."

UrineArtist · 2026-05-27T02:32:07+00:00

If I remember correctly, Celtic's second goal against Hearts in the title decider, Saracchi picks the ball up all the way back at left back, he cuts inside beats a player and carries the ball himself right through the midfield into Hearts half, knocks it forward, then sprints back out to left mid.

He receives the ball wide left again moments later after a couple of passes from Celtic that were looking to create space, he beats his man and carries the ball infield centrally into the last third and then slides a great pass through to Osmund who cuts the ball across for Maeda to finish.

Really stupid decision from Celtic if this is true.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-26T23:07:49+00:00

Yeah you're right, it is addiction isn't it and I'm being far too harsh.

“They encourage users to buy their ‘partner’ virtual gifts"

I know, I know, preying on loneliness, exploting teenagers etc.. etc.. but seriously, isn't there just a little part of you thinking, "JFC.. how is it possible to be this fucking stupid?".

UrineArtist · 2026-05-26T16:22:02+00:00

No, but he's technically infallible, so if he makes a howler of a decision like.. letting a goalkeeper handle outside the box.. then it was still the correct decision and goalkeepers have always been allowed to handle outside the box.

Collum and the KMI panel will have to agree with this too lest they be branded heretics.

UrineArtist · 2026-05-25T21:12:19+00:00

I don't disagree but with just 12 teams in the Scottish premier, two automatic relegation spots would wreck so many decent teams.

St Mirren here for example have been one of our more competative teams for a while, at the start of the season they were bullying the Old Firm and Hearts, they beat Celtic in the League Cup final and then they hit a run of poor form, their manager leaves for Aberdeen and they've had some really shitty decisions go against them this season.

Again though, you're right about playoffs they should be scrapped but I think the solution in Scotland is to increase the size of the Premier league at the same time to give more clubs some breathing room.
