Dirty Sanchez

Good night to shit fest an unlikely 1-0. Again.

There we have the booked/not booked for a dive lottery playing out again.

Stuart Taylor, Steve Farrelll, Martin Baker, Kenny Gillies, Alex Bone and Gary McGrotty. Can't think of the other two.

Who remembers when this shop front used to have blanked out purple windows?

The so called 'foul' before the equaliser that McCoist (and Gerrard) were crying about was very similar to one that had just happened at the other end of the park, for which the ref also waved play on. In both cases the Hibs/Rangers players were quick to hit the deck under minimal contact for a cheap free kick, and the ref was having none of it. If he'd given the equally soft one to Hibs, then the Rangers one wouldn't even have happened, and they'd have been facing a Mallan direct free-kick to boot.

Don't think I've ever seen that before. Assuming it's Love Street with Albion Street around the corner, when was that wall actually knocked down? In this picture from pre 1957, the future car park area is still occupied by what looks like large tenements, with the wall from the other picture to the left, presumably.

Ludovic Roy is already in there, presumably because he won a championship and lived close enough to attend the presentation dinner.

Just looking at who is in and who is not. Is it right that Paul Lambert is not in this yet? If so, he's in the Scottish Football Hall of Fame, but not ours. I know he was a major cup winner at 17, made over 250 appearances, went on to captain Scotland, win the Champions League, etc, but most notably he delivered the line "be there or be square" on the cup final 7" single.

Ajax were really unlucky to lose the first leg. They've got an exciting young team who are on course to score over 100 goals in the league this year. It's good see one of the traditional top sides getting some success in the Champions League, in an era when it's become about who has got the biggest TV deal.

I was going to say that, but couldn't be bothered arguing with anybody about it.

Lewis Morgan scores for Sunderland. They're off to Wembley for the Diddy Cup Final.

Just saw the highlights on Sky Sports News. Very sporting of the Livingston defender to glance over at Flynn twice, then ignore his run, giving him all the space he needed to score.

Big Thommo introduced 'cathartic' to the St Mirren vernacular. If that winning goal wasn't cathartic, I don't know what is.

Length of ban depends on what you've done. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/1849/suspensions-for-players-in-mens-football-annex-c-section-4.pdf

I take it this paragraph explains the length of the Morelos ban. 4 Sending-Off Offences –Additional Suspension 4.1 Where a player is reported for a sending off offence, and that player has also been Determined by a Tribunal to have committed an additional sending off offence in the same match , or has previously been reported for a sending-off offence in the same Competition in a Season, an additional suspension of one match for each previous sending-off offence will be applied.

You used to expect Money to save penalties. Expect. Because he usually did save them. I reckon he's not only better than everyone since him, he's streets ahead of most of them.

In an interview he once did with Stephen Fry, CNN founder Ted Turner made a very reasonable point when he suggested that it would surely be preferable to be met by 300 utter slappers than 300 virgins.

This has just been repeated on the evening news.

Meanwhile Andrew Dallas slithers back into action tomorrow at QoS v Dundee Utd, with presumed adult film star Kylie Cockburn as his fluffer assistant.

Trump now tweeting that Josh Magennis has been spotted in the migrant caravan heading for the US southern border.

I'm hearing this morning that some of the W7 guys have been spotted going through security at Glasgow Airport carrying shampoo bottles larger than 100ml in their hand luggage. Apparently one of them didn't even have his bottle in a wee plastic bag.

If you take the unconscious man out of the equation, was the story still making the national evening news?

Fuxake, who needs Russian fake news bots to peddle damaging shite?

Roland Fabiani.

I was busy commending Willie Collum for having a decent game for a change, then I tune into Sportscene and see the Paul McGinn challenge.
