Well, at least we don’t live in Spain, where tax fraud convicts are lauded like some sort of distorted victim if they have a connection to football. No one really expected Leonel Messi to go to prison, accountability in Spain isn’t that exacting, but he will have to live with a conviction for defrauding the tax system of millions of euros. A shameful act for one so wealthy.
I’ve always been a bit uncomfortable at the politicisation (from all sides) of the poppy and charities like Help for Heroes. Society has been poor at looking after its literal cannon fodder in the 100 years since the Somme, but flag wavers around these parts have imposed political sentiment on these charities which doesn’t exist elsewhere in the UK.
Four years on from the infamous Rangers-Milan legends supposed charity match, James Doleman’s article yesterday, on the unauthorised use of Help for Heroes logos on t-shirts, gives us more to ponder. It’s impossible to damage a brand which is already at junk value, but activity like this makes it difficult for all good causes to make their appeals.

Good move, good effort from Mousa
Great move. Moussa shot saved by goalie.
Moussa a shot on target from left side – keeper saves
Good move
Kieran slips and drags down zlatan – foul and booked
Help for Heroes need a complete rethink/ rebrand imho. The logo is very striking, an injured soldier being carried but their core business is now for the stretcher bearers – those who have suffered mentally due to combat experience and cannot interact fully with society. I’ve visited a HfH centre which was utterly empty – incredible facilities and expertise not being used because they can’t get the message out strongly enough. Time for hfH to go or change.
Kieran tackles like Richie McCaw.
Tierney booked for a tackle that wasn’t haf as bad as some they have dished out, hun ref
Lubjiana miss a sitter after cut back from bye line. We were ripped open.
Should be 1-1
Ach nearly lost one as 2 sitting free in box for cut back – bad defending/cover
(Sticks head above parapet…)
There’s definitely a player in Bitton, I’ve always said it, and hope Brendan is the manager to make him the player he can be. I’d rather see him stay and knuckle down than leave.
(Slips below parapet again…)
Who the heck is this ref. Broony fouled with impunity.
Griff beginning the new season as he left off the last.
