I know what you are worried about after last night’s Scotland performance, “He’s going to throw James Forrest in now.” My feeling on the matter is that James, Callum and Kieran all need to ‘work on their fitness’ a bit.
Since managing Scotland for a few months in 2007, a period that included a 0-1 win in Paris, Alex McLeish has been found out in five subsequent appointments, ending ignominiously in North Africa. He has the look of what he is, a man earning enough to make good on a tax bill that recently came his way, and nothing else. Nice gig if you can get it. He also selects players who are banned for life from the national team.
Scotland have the players to beat the 94th team in the world but were not sufficiently competent to fix up a manager who already lives in the country but manages in Belfast, or conduct an adequate search for an alternative.
The result of this, is that fans stopped caring, as do many players, by the look of it. I don’t know a single person who was upset last night, the Scotland international football fascination is over. The once great endeavour of football as a self-contained unit in Scotland is over, everybody knows it. Send our players back to Lennoxtown as soon as possible, please.

Bottom Line is that Neganon2 is Definitively Right.
I’ve been hearing adverts on Radio Clyde that sound like Utter propaganda about Scotland.

Morning Tims.
Wurs Brendan aff tae this week. ????
While I’m no fan of McLeish, I felt sorry for him, listening to him on Radio Scotland. Irrespective of whether he is the right man for the job, he needs to leave as soon as possible. He sounded, to me, on the verge of collapse.
ABORIGINES.before JJ corrects me.

Just for interest heres a wee run down of the changing face of celtic park since 1892 at a glance.
The pavillion went up in 1892, was damaged by fire in 1904 but repaired, then burned to the ground in 1929 and never replaced.
The janefield street stand went up in 1892, the roof blew off in a storm in 1894, and the stand was burned to the ground in 1904, the same fire which damaged the pavillion and would have raised cp to the ground if there was a southernly wind. The stand was replaced by a terrace in 1909 and the roof had two arches either side of centre. The five year gap saw that end used as a reserve terracing. The delay in building the roof was due to a wragle with the cooncil who claimed they owned a two foot stretch along london rd which would have cut the capacity of the new terrace/stand by 1000. Willie maley thought the fire was suspicious and commented on it coming after a big game. The big game was the scotland v england match held at cp for the last time just a few weeks earlier. Ibrox was out for holding big internationals after the first disaster there in 1902 when it held the scotland v england game. Competition between cp and hampden to host the big international was fierce. Cp had hosted tje match in 1894, 1896, 1898 and 1900 but the new hampden was opened in 1903 and was big enough to hold the international. Due to our record of hosting the match we got the 1904 game but the fire a few weeks later, the delay in rebuilding the north side due to the wrangle added to the quick expansion of new hampden meant that we lost that battle to host big internationals.
The new roofed terrace lasted from 1904 to 1929 when another fire damaged cp with the pavlllion razed to the ground and the arched roof of the janefield st terrace damaged and replaced by the hayshed nicknamed roof. This roof remained in place from 1929 to 1966 when the new jungle roof went up. This lasted 28 years unt the revolution in 94.
Maon stand side the story goes that no stand was built there originally in 1892 as time had to be given for the land to settle on the east side main stand side where a huge crater filled with water lay there when the ground was a disused coup before we built the ground. A terrace and a press box lay on the main stand side until the grant stand, paid for by director james grant went up in november 1899. It was almost a stand on stilts with a terrace in front. This was taken down in 1929 and repaced by the main stand which la sted until 1971 when the current maint stand repaced it in fact it was just the roof and the seating that was replaced, it wasnt demolished and rebuilt.
Nb anyone who sits in the main stand can claim to be in the only part of cp that has been there since 1892 as that part of the ground although newly terraced and seated ibasically hasnt changed. Firstly the grant stand stood above it, then the main stand, 1 and 2 but both incorporated the same terracing/seating.
The roof in the rangers end went up in 1968 and lasted until the revolution in 94.
Floodlights went in in 1959.
The half roof went up in the celltic end went up in 1957 and was repaced by the full roof in 1986 and lasted less than 10 years.
A cinder cycle track and running track were built in 1892 and a cement ctcle track replaced it in 1898 but was removed in 1915 adding 20, 000 to the capacity of cp.
Iron rails went up around the track for the 1898 international and were taken down in 1913.
Well another dire Scotland performance and McLiesh would have us believe they played well all I can say to that is Eck he has lost the plot. H.H.
treble, then beaten by morton

What Gascoigne tweeted:
” I feel the love & the support of the People.”
How the BBC reported:
`He added he “feels the love and support” of the Ibrox club’s fans.`

Afternoon all,
Am late joining the last night’s debate.
Happy to run the ‘new article posted’ risk and suggest googling the following
Penal Laws
Test Acts
Popery Act (and its little known grandfather – the Adventurers Act)
The Education Act (nice benign title)
Among others.
The UK, being the tolerant inclusive society May, Sturgeon and Davidson parrot on about saw the error of its ways and finally repealed these acts of the mother of all parliaments ……..
In the 20th century !
