Support for Celtic and Rangers isn’t based on Geography in Scotland, but about identifying with a club that represents your religious and sectarian views. It’s the same in N.Ireland. The vast majority of Catholics in Scotland support Celtic for this reason, every unionist and Catholic hater supports Rangers, but not all non Catholics do. As long as both clubs exist, this tribalism will continue, and in Britain’s divided society it is getting worse. Away fans are not now allowed to attend Old Firm games, a sad indictment on the way things are going.

Not our No. 1 pundit, Mercer!

I’ll be at Dens Park on Wednesday to hopefully see the Dee silence the Orange hordes. Always worth taking in a game when visiting Scotland.

No offence, it’s just that I’ve never known a football fan who drinks Chardonnay while watching a game, especially when there is access to some fantastic beers in your country. By the way, I love that old boat in Copenhagen harbour which has the open air bar on it.

A Dane drinking Chardonnay?? Something got you before you decided to drink that.

We’re living in a world of fantasy and conspiracy theories. Reality has been beaten by bullshit. I used to play for Real Madrid, broke the home run record in baseball, scored 500 centuries in test cricket and then bought Tesla from Elon Musk for $1. 5 billion people follow me on TikTok, and Blackburn Rovers play at Ewood Park. Someone in Facebook land won’t believe in the last fact.

Has Adam ever said publicly that he didn’t want to go, not as far as I could see? How many footballers would risk losing a massive contract that could set them up for life, probably none I would suggest. A major injury could jeopardise a move for starters. I think GB is correct in his assessment of the transfer, the issue was not releasing any funds for a replacement.

Another win for Boro tonight puts them 5 points off the play off places. They aren't going to be a soft touch on Saturday, very difficult game for us.

But its fans don’t. I’ll never understand why any fan would want their club to be relegated.

Why did you buy them in the first place then?

Smods always looks fed up and grumpy, I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Hodgson about to be sacked.

Any Rovers’ fan worth their salt should be hoping Eustace does well, because that would mean that Blackburn Rovers are doing well. I am very disappointed that JDT has left, but will show the new guy respect and best wishes in the difficult role he has been appointed to undertake.

Waggot will get some grief tomorrow.

That sounds like an exerpt from a JDT interview

More money wasted on a completely hopeless appeal

JDT said in an interview last week about Adam that it would be hard for him to turn down a chance to play in the PL, and that the chance might come sooner rather than later. Also, we’ve been chasing McGuire and O’Riordon for ages, which he would be well aware of. He got shut of the unhappy Travis, who he didn’t rate, and two experienced players have been brought in. So, a lot for him to be happy about, apart from AW leaving.

Much as I’m unhappy about seeing Adam leave, the portrayal of him as some kind of victim, and being forced to leave, is bit of a stretch. He didn’t need to sign for CP and, as has been pointed out, his contract will set him up for life.

If Palace lose at home to Sheffield Utd it could be a serious relegation battle for them.

On another note from today’s game, the stewarding from the senior members of security in the away stand was completely over the top, confrontational and classic jobsworths’ mentality. I saw one of them escorting a kid of about 14 down some stairs kneeing him in the back. They do not have the right to assault people. I’m firmly of the opinion that all stewards should have a name tag on their uniform so that incidents like this can be reported. I know every team has some pillocks, but some of the stewarding I saw today was cringeworthy, and it seemed like some wanted trouble so that they could play the tough guy role.

Before the defeat at Sheff Wed we were playing really well and everyone was waxing lyrical about JDT. Confidence has been shattered by some horrendous defensive and goalkeeping performances of late. Players need to take some responsibility, too easy to blame the manager when it’s them making so many howlers

Only one team in it 2nd half, fully deserved point for Luton. Burnley sat back and tried to hold onto their lead.

I was thinking about him being with uncle Tony, likely to play more and having a shorter commute.

Travis will be gutted, he might have got a loan move to Brum if he’d waited a few days.

A very entertaining afternoon for those who bothered to attend. Abstainers have missed a treat.
