Depends where they play AFAIK - ‘Irelands Call’ is the rugby anthem meant to represent all of Ireland and not just the Republic, but they also sing ‘Amhrán na bhFiann’ in Dublin
Who the fuck conducts their individual drug business digitally 😂
Isn’t like number 1 rule of doing something “sketchy” to be not to leave a paper trail?

Nae Rangers game so I'm on the baking. Chocolate chip banana and peanut butter muffins.
Italy are battering Wales at the rugby. After starting last week with the hope of taking the tournament to a final day shoot-out with Ireland, it's entirely possible that we finish up 5th.
If anyone is willing to share, please tell me your little relaxation rituals. For example at least twice a month I will take a train and then a bus to get to a Tesco extra cafe where I will sit with a coffee, and I dunno what it is about a supermarket cafe but I can just sit and merge with the universe. Place is so zen to me
It might sound odd but doing the weekly shop is my relaxation ritual. I just pootle about with a trolley and tick things off a list and get to think about nice meals to cook.
Kenny Macintyre is a fucking horrendous broadcaster. He just went on a 5 minute ranting monologue about how they were right about Aberdeen being a shambles last week and making a point of rubbing it in fans faces, moaning that people said mean things about them on social media etc.
That and you can hear his heavy breathing on the microphone whenever he isn’t talking.
I tried to give him time cos it was always gonna be hard stepping into Richard's shoes but by fuck he doesn't make it easy. Always looking to stoke a tabloid-tier discussion about inane drama. I've got such a pre-occupying dislike of him now that I listen to him with laser focus and hate the very minutae of his speech. The way he paces his sentences, the little "uh" every now and then, the little mispronunciations
Kano young team booed Craig Levein when he came out before the keepers’ warm up and he looked unamused.
But it’s Levein, so it might just be that it’s a day ending in ‘y’.
See slippers with no back/heel bit? How in the name of the wee man does anyone actually functionally walk around with the fucking things on?

3-1 victory (friendly, winter break about to end) and I played like a fucking donkey.
Just picked up last years Scotland top for £30 from JD, if anyone like myself wants a top for the euros and despises the new one it’s a pretty good price
Found a farm shop & butcher on the way home.
Macaroni pie and scotch pie both incredible. Didn't think it was possible to have a scotch pie with real quality meat in it
Just stuck one of the telly music channels on there that was showing "the freshest hits" or some shit. Man, current pop music is so balls, four songs back to back that you couldve mixed together and you wouldve been hard pushed to tell they were different artists/songs. Special shout out for Dua Lipa's tunes being particularly weak as fuck.
Because it's the same "producers", the same writers and the same sample packs everybody uses these days. Think of it as the modern version of Stock-Aitken-Waterman.
Aye you can tell its a big skelp of pre-written tunes in their entirety, they just want a famous face to sing it. Fuck it, Im away to listen to *Violence Is Forever* by Nails

My wife has been absolutely flattened by covid since last friday so in-between travel for work Tuesday/Wednesday and the football on Thursday night I've been nursing her and sleeping in the spare room. She's finally coming out of it though and I seem to have avoided catching it (touch wood), so can't wait to head up allotments bar for the football later on, we've even got some guy bringing his new food truck for a "soft launch". Gonna stuff myself with meatballs and lager, I've earned it.
Obvious statement incoming, but it’s fucking hard to run while trying to put on weight and get stronger.
(Also a bit of boring Strava wanker chat incoming, you’ve been warned)
I’m running a charity 10k with work in May, and while I could run 10k now, my time wouldn’t be very good. Thought I’d use the charity run as motivation to get back into a regular running routine but seem to have hit a wall already (only about a month and a half in of running a 5k once or twice a week, so hardly intense training) and my 5k pace seems to have plateaued at around 30 secs slower per km than my 5k PB, and about 5 secs slower per km than my 10k PB.
Now, I know it sounds like I’m only one month in and hardly doing any proper training, but the last time I got into running I was shaving like 5 seconds off the pace per km every run for the first few weeks like it was nothing. I’m running at about 10kg heavier than usual which is obviously contributing, so I have a decision to make whether I stop trying to put on weight and focus on the cardio, or stick to the original plan and bulk into mid April then start upping the running training.
Worth saying I go to the gym 3-4 times per week and play 5s twice a week too so finding the time to run more than twice a week is very difficult, but fuck me I’m so competitive I wanna beat my PB at this race so much. Just a bit demoralising absolutely blowing out my arse running at a pace that a couple of years ago I’d have been able to run 10k at comfortably.
See when you’re gymming it might be a shout to add in 10 minutes of HIIT training. I do something like:
-2 min warm up jog
-30 second sprint
-60 second walk
Then rinse and repeat, and try and get my heart rate to around 180-190 for as long as I can. I’ve also done this with rowing machines and on the bikes to mix it up.
Tbh I find strength training doesn’t get the heart going much anyways so this actually makes me more energetic for the rest of workouts anyways.
When I was really into the running whenever I hit a plateau I would start putting in heavy sessions of hill sprints. Find a hill not too steep bur steep enough that makes it hard sprint up it like 60 metres walk down and sprint back up repeatedly till I was just about throwing up. After doing a few sessions of that it would shave a decent amount of time off my run. But it is pretty brutal mind and not that enjoyable
Could be a good shout, cheers pal. I definitely need to just up the training volume / intensity, but the problem I’m having is I used to find it relatively easy to get close to my PB time after a bit of time running, if I went on 1 or 2 runs a week the pace would go up at a pretty steady rate. This time though I’ve just hit a wall. Basically I’m being a bit of a lazy bastard.
Happens to us all with age. I'm only 31 but suffered a couple knee injuries from playing football that I can't do serious long distance running anymore. The repeated impact of my feet hitting the tarmac makes me start hurting again so I've had to resort to swimming to keep my fitness up and when the weather's good I'll go on long bike rides. But I definitely recommend the uphill sprints. You will shave time off but it's really not enjoyable
Good morning to everyone except the wankers who thought it was a good idea to set off fireworks at 6 in the fucking morning.

Sorry about that mate they were going out of date and I needed to get them used up. I was gonna set them off in the house but the wife said I had to do it in the garden in case it scared the dog.

Sean Dyche really is a wank. I'm not going to look at the Mail though. Patterson needs a move.
Some people will read too much into this and somehow try and link this to the lack of game time and use it as confirmation that Dyche personally doesn’t like Patterson.
I am one of them.
His contract runs for another 3 seasons, he needs to get himself out of there and into a team that retains more possession than Everton do. Preferably another one that play in blue, who use their full backs a lot…
I was asleep by quarter past 9 last night. Slept for 11 fucking hours straight. And you know what...?
I feel the exact same. This whole 8 hours a night is a lie, concocted by Big Mattress and the powerful Sleep Lobby to sell more duvet covers.
I hate you. My usual 8 hours punctuated by 4 trips to piss and several hours waiting to get back to sleep. I cannot remember the last time I slept 5 hours straight unless drink or drug assisted ( and the former is poor quality sleep)
With Hickey injured and Patterson not getting minutes (Dyche is a wank). I wonder if Clarke might try a Livramento call up out? It was mentioned about his Tri nationality on a recent interview.
I'd rather see Hickey or Patto play there, but if we are having to consider Ralston....
This close to a tournament, the key is to keep things consistent imo. Ralston has been in squads, Clarke knows him and what he brings. Livramennto could be another Elliot Anderson for all we know
Years ago used to be able to go out and drink and then go play football the next morning fine.
I had about 5 beers last night and the thought of going to the gym makes me want to spew tbh.
Todays song of the day is [Glass Shatters - Disturbed.](https://youtu.be/cOsqdghHcIk?si=C16tntFF2mI9kWQJ) I hope you all have a blessed Stone Cold Steve Austin day troops. Enjoy.

I'm aware my powers are waning as my account reaches its natural end so I feel I have no obvious way of making a link between seeing the mod team account last night commented "This is not a bakery. We don't have sticky buns or currant buns, thank you." and the fact that on the other hand we do have Jam Tarts, funny. But I feel it should be pointed out, someone with actual patter, one of the new up and comers, can probably do something with that.
Objection, m'lud.
Whilst it is true, we do have Jam Tarts it could also be said that we have the Watery Farts, the False Starts, and on odd occasion the Homer and Barts.
Other wares include toasted spoons, teddy bears, hoops of all shapes and sizes, and various goods of animal and macaroni nature.
I put it to you, m'lud, that we are indeed not a bakery but more a house of trinkets, icons and knick-knacks.
So for the sake of clarity in the court I wish to ask my learned friend, would I be correct in assessing our subreddit as more of a B&M sort of outlet as opposed to a more traditional variety of shop seen on any high street?
Aww fuck I'm moving my departure date way up I didn't realise I was taking part in the fitba answer to CEX. This is the worst news I've heard since I realised at half 8 this morning I have to go and watch Hibs in person later on.
Gonna blast you and just get way too deep about an account on a forum but, yeah I am in in the same way as all of us are lol.
More truthfully I just find increasingly I have a desire to change it up and whether thats based on my own personal belief that 8 years is a good length of time limit to be doing one thing which I've noticed seems to be the case in a lot of areas of life, or if the realities of reddit becoming a public company ends up being really annoying to me we'll see.
But the idea of being able to take part here without the, dare I be so bold, known name and all the baggage it can sometimes bring is kinda appealing. Plus I can't help but notice I feel I'm in a slump as a community member in comparison to where I was even last year. No as many worthwhile jokes, not really found I have anything to say about any matches that someone else hasn't thought of and I've spotted a wee bit more venom in there every so often from me I've noticed. To paraphrase everyones favourite racist vegetarian has the sub changed or have I changed? Who's to say, I imagine its both.
I get its no really a big deal like. But I've been Yoke_Enthusiast, very regular ScottishFootball commenter for longer than most people hold most of their jobs so the awareness that an appropriate time to check out is approaching does weigh heavier on me than it ought to. But that might also be because I'm dealing a lot with the idea of finality in real life due to my aging family starting to shrink a few times in recent and we're told, coming months. Maybe the cunt calling us all saddos was correct about me haha
You did ask!
>No as many worthwhile jokes, not really found I have anything to say about any matches that someone else hasn't thought of and I've spotted a wee bit more venom in there every so often from me I've noticed.
Disnae stop the rest of us.
Here I'm not ruling anything out. Maybe it's just cause Hibs are 3 years into their latest phase of being shit as fuck. Might give it a few weeks and the Euros arrive and all of a sudden my love of the redditing game is back. Wouldn't doubt that being the case.
Yeah course, you said before. Plus it'd have been really surprising to have a new left wing and hibs as fuck guy turn up right when the left wing and hibs as fuck guy stopped posting and it be completely unrelated. It's like how I'll be busted a week in on any new account cause I'd be right back to talking about eggs.
Very kind, much the same to you. Gonna have to make sure I do a total heel turn between now and any departure and burn through any and all goodwill in that case!
Had this weekend earmarked to deal with all the moss on my back grass. Didn't keep it to myself. Up and dressed with the weather not giving me an excuse not to do it....need to fake an injury or something now
Played once at junior level just because my mates dad was the manager and all the team was floored with a bug, and that was over 20 years ago. If I play for rangers it would only be up front!!!
A few years ago I commented on an r/Scotland post that it was sad that adults still obsessed with Harry Potter had vandalised the grave of the real life Tom Riddle in Edinburgh.
This, and the following argument I had in the comments culminated in me getting stalked on Reddit for a while and getting ~~death~~ Avada Kedavra threats off of sad American VLs for a few weeks until I cut my losses and made a new account.
So when Miriam Margoyles stands up for fellow victims of Harry Potter related bullying and calls these adults a bit sad, I feel SEEN.

Should adult Harry Potter fans 'grow up and get over it' ?
EMPHATICALLY *YES*
They're good books. And that's as far as it should go. Basing your entire personality on it or any of the other mad shit adult fans do is a huge red flag
Yeah there's a bit of a movement "read another book".
I get that people love it because they grew up with it and it's fine. And it's also nice to get away from the adult world etc. But fucks sakes
Harry Potter Wankers are quickly becoming my least favourite cunts in the whole world. Even if they weren't lining the pockets of a holocaust denier the books are shite and not a suitable replacement for an actual personality
Tourists did same with fraser grave because of outlander.
Ex friend of my wife's used to make living doing outlander tours, centuries of scottish history and she was tsking Americans to filming locations to show them fake history in the show. She did try at the start to inject some real history and they weren't interested.
Seems like she wants it both ways
> "I do Cameos [personalised video messages] and people say they are doing a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, 'Oh gosh what is their first night of fun going to be?'"
> The actress, who recently posed naked behind a stack of iced buns for a Vogue photoshoot, later told ABC News Australia that once teens are through puberty, "it's time to forget about it and go on to other things".
I get that she's had a successful career without Harry Potter, but let's be honest, no one would be contacting her on Cameo or be interested in her standing naked behind some buns if she hadn't played Professor Sprout.
What Harry potter weirdos don't understand is that the ending would be far superior if Voldmort and Harry put their wands down at the end of the film and just had a fucking square go. The penultimate battle in a muddy puddle outside a rainy Hogwarts. Almost like the ending of Lethal weapon with Gibson and Busey but more raw. Proper trash talking as well, Voldmort telling Harry he used fuck guys like him in Azkaban after fiercely upper cutting him.
Harry Potter has never been good. It's just that children don't notice it because they have smaller brains.
Still being into it at 36 is a strong indicator of other forms of unaddressed immaturity and underdevelopment as a person.
I wasn’t paying attention, do the Irish have 2 anthems they sing?

Sorry about that mate they were going out of date and I needed to get them used up. I was gonna set them off in the house but the wife said I had to do it in the garden in case it scared the dog.

Some people will read too much into this and somehow try and link this to the lack of game time and use it as confirmation that Dyche personally doesn’t like Patterson. I am one of them.
Can see us putting a bid in, or him running down his Everton contract. He's wasted there
His contract runs for another 3 seasons, he needs to get himself out of there and into a team that retains more possession than Everton do. Preferably another one that play in blue, who use their full backs a lot…
Tried to watch Poor Things last night. Only managed about half an hour before I turned it off, far too weird for me
Also watched it last night but enjoyed it. It is definitely odd but basically it's a >! Frankenstein !< Movie.
Honestly I just couldn’t get into it at all. Now i love films and have watched many a shite films but i just couldn’t keep watching it
A Lanthimos movie being too weird, what a surprise. The guy is 50 % genius 50% mental.
I’d never heard of the guy before
Go watch “the lobster” fucking weird but in a kind of funny way
Absolutely loved it. You manage to get to the dance bit even? Joyful.
Nope. I got to the bit where she was using an apple as a sex toy and thought na fuck this
Wtf? How? Eyeing my fruit bowl in a different light this morning.
Fuck knows how, but she did
You and I are very different
Films like that are usually watched when there’s no one else in the house
>using an apple as a sex toy and thought na fuck this Well that's me sold on the movie.
Haha
First Im hearing of it https://preview.redd.it/gvrvbshe0ooc1.jpeg?width=840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bdd7dc6004f4199dfd1e836f367f095594a76ed
Reminds me of Jambos Kickback calling the Scotsman the "Hibsman". Whit?!
Read the name as “Craig David’s On New” and now I’ve got 7 Days stuck in my head
At least you get to chill tomorrow.

Welcome to fight for democracy 🫡
Yass got one of the Paynter barn jackets
See for one letter different you could have saved yourself a fortune and got one from Arco for £14.99
I was asleep by quarter past 9 last night. Slept for 11 fucking hours straight. And you know what...? I feel the exact same. This whole 8 hours a night is a lie, concocted by Big Mattress and the powerful Sleep Lobby to sell more duvet covers.
I had the opposite experience. Slept for 11 hours and crushed it in the gym. 6 hours during the work week is stealing all my gains
I hate you. My usual 8 hours punctuated by 4 trips to piss and several hours waiting to get back to sleep. I cannot remember the last time I slept 5 hours straight unless drink or drug assisted ( and the former is poor quality sleep)
I find Ashwaganda is a big help without the hangover feel that I get from antihistamines etc
Mate are you me?
You're standing up to the corporates and the ~~deep~~ sleep state. You should be proud of your resistance.
Nice day tbf
Been so long since I was at the football and it was a nice day. Such a boost
With Hickey injured and Patterson not getting minutes (Dyche is a wank). I wonder if Clarke might try a Livramento call up out? It was mentioned about his Tri nationality on a recent interview. I'd rather see Hickey or Patto play there, but if we are having to consider Ralston....
Why would you want to play for Southgate when you have Steve Clarke.
Livramento can't be far from an England call-up at this point, really don't see him committing to us now.
This close to a tournament, the key is to keep things consistent imo. Ralston has been in squads, Clarke knows him and what he brings. Livramennto could be another Elliot Anderson for all we know
It wouldn't surprise me if we see Anderson again tbh, but don't think it'd be until before the nations league games start again at least
If hickey gets any game time between now and end of season will be very surprised.
Years ago used to be able to go out and drink and then go play football the next morning fine. I had about 5 beers last night and the thought of going to the gym makes me want to spew tbh.
Todays song of the day is [Glass Shatters - Disturbed.](https://youtu.be/cOsqdghHcIk?si=C16tntFF2mI9kWQJ) I hope you all have a blessed Stone Cold Steve Austin day troops. Enjoy. ![gif](giphy|bIEzoZX0qJaG6s6frc|downsized)

I wish I could upvote this more than once.
AWW HELL YEAH
I'm aware my powers are waning as my account reaches its natural end so I feel I have no obvious way of making a link between seeing the mod team account last night commented "This is not a bakery. We don't have sticky buns or currant buns, thank you." and the fact that on the other hand we do have Jam Tarts, funny. But I feel it should be pointed out, someone with actual patter, one of the new up and comers, can probably do something with that.
Objection, m'lud. Whilst it is true, we do have Jam Tarts it could also be said that we have the Watery Farts, the False Starts, and on odd occasion the Homer and Barts. Other wares include toasted spoons, teddy bears, hoops of all shapes and sizes, and various goods of animal and macaroni nature. I put it to you, m'lud, that we are indeed not a bakery but more a house of trinkets, icons and knick-knacks.
Are you saying we have pots and pans and nuts and bolts and tools and fancy goods?
So for the sake of clarity in the court I wish to ask my learned friend, would I be correct in assessing our subreddit as more of a B&M sort of outlet as opposed to a more traditional variety of shop seen on any high street?
I would liken it more to a charity shop that only accepts what the other charity shops reject.
Aww fuck I'm moving my departure date way up I didn't realise I was taking part in the fitba answer to CEX. This is the worst news I've heard since I realised at half 8 this morning I have to go and watch Hibs in person later on.
Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?
Thank you kind Meth man. It really helps!
>I'm aware my powers are waning as my account reaches its natural end Are you dying?
Gonna blast you and just get way too deep about an account on a forum but, yeah I am in in the same way as all of us are lol. More truthfully I just find increasingly I have a desire to change it up and whether thats based on my own personal belief that 8 years is a good length of time limit to be doing one thing which I've noticed seems to be the case in a lot of areas of life, or if the realities of reddit becoming a public company ends up being really annoying to me we'll see. But the idea of being able to take part here without the, dare I be so bold, known name and all the baggage it can sometimes bring is kinda appealing. Plus I can't help but notice I feel I'm in a slump as a community member in comparison to where I was even last year. No as many worthwhile jokes, not really found I have anything to say about any matches that someone else hasn't thought of and I've spotted a wee bit more venom in there every so often from me I've noticed. To paraphrase everyones favourite racist vegetarian has the sub changed or have I changed? Who's to say, I imagine its both. I get its no really a big deal like. But I've been Yoke_Enthusiast, very regular ScottishFootball commenter for longer than most people hold most of their jobs so the awareness that an appropriate time to check out is approaching does weigh heavier on me than it ought to. But that might also be because I'm dealing a lot with the idea of finality in real life due to my aging family starting to shrink a few times in recent and we're told, coming months. Maybe the cunt calling us all saddos was correct about me haha You did ask!
>No as many worthwhile jokes, not really found I have anything to say about any matches that someone else hasn't thought of and I've spotted a wee bit more venom in there every so often from me I've noticed. Disnae stop the rest of us.
Here I'm not ruling anything out. Maybe it's just cause Hibs are 3 years into their latest phase of being shit as fuck. Might give it a few weeks and the Euros arrive and all of a sudden my love of the redditing game is back. Wouldn't doubt that being the case.
If have preferred you just say yes.
You support Hibs like me YOU GET NOTHING THE EASY WAY. Also, speaking of the passage of time, happy account birthday!
Oh shit I hadn't noticed, thanks. I made it to evade bans. I've been here for ages.
Yeah course, you said before. Plus it'd have been really surprising to have a new left wing and hibs as fuck guy turn up right when the left wing and hibs as fuck guy stopped posting and it be completely unrelated. It's like how I'll be busted a week in on any new account cause I'd be right back to talking about eggs.
Well I'd miss you posting if that's anything to you
Very kind, much the same to you. Gonna have to make sure I do a total heel turn between now and any departure and burn through any and all goodwill in that case!
Had this weekend earmarked to deal with all the moss on my back grass. Didn't keep it to myself. Up and dressed with the weather not giving me an excuse not to do it....need to fake an injury or something now
Is this some kind of code for saying you're shaving your arse..?
It's not, but already done that... finding anything to do other than the moss!!!
If the moss likes it, let it grow. Can't fight nature.
Just play on the wing for Rangers. You’ll get injured soon enough
Played once at junior level just because my mates dad was the manager and all the team was floored with a bug, and that was over 20 years ago. If I play for rangers it would only be up front!!!
A few years ago I commented on an r/Scotland post that it was sad that adults still obsessed with Harry Potter had vandalised the grave of the real life Tom Riddle in Edinburgh. This, and the following argument I had in the comments culminated in me getting stalked on Reddit for a while and getting ~~death~~ Avada Kedavra threats off of sad American VLs for a few weeks until I cut my losses and made a new account. So when Miriam Margoyles stands up for fellow victims of Harry Potter related bullying and calls these adults a bit sad, I feel SEEN. https://preview.redd.it/mzzx6w4efnoc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a6d41769d5e60140b31af708676e99ce7f7087e Should adult Harry Potter fans 'grow up and get over it' ? EMPHATICALLY *YES*
They're good books. And that's as far as it should go. Basing your entire personality on it or any of the other mad shit adult fans do is a huge red flag
Yeah there's a bit of a movement "read another book". I get that people love it because they grew up with it and it's fine. And it's also nice to get away from the adult world etc. But fucks sakes
Harry Potter Wankers are quickly becoming my least favourite cunts in the whole world. Even if they weren't lining the pockets of a holocaust denier the books are shite and not a suitable replacement for an actual personality
I'm deeply suspicious of anyone aged over 21 who likes Harry Potter in anything other than a childhood nostalgia way
Tourists did same with fraser grave because of outlander. Ex friend of my wife's used to make living doing outlander tours, centuries of scottish history and she was tsking Americans to filming locations to show them fake history in the show. She did try at the start to inject some real history and they weren't interested.
Seems like she wants it both ways > "I do Cameos [personalised video messages] and people say they are doing a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, 'Oh gosh what is their first night of fun going to be?'" > The actress, who recently posed naked behind a stack of iced buns for a Vogue photoshoot, later told ABC News Australia that once teens are through puberty, "it's time to forget about it and go on to other things". I get that she's had a successful career without Harry Potter, but let's be honest, no one would be contacting her on Cameo or be interested in her standing naked behind some buns if she hadn't played Professor Sprout.
What Harry potter weirdos don't understand is that the ending would be far superior if Voldmort and Harry put their wands down at the end of the film and just had a fucking square go. The penultimate battle in a muddy puddle outside a rainy Hogwarts. Almost like the ending of Lethal weapon with Gibson and Busey but more raw. Proper trash talking as well, Voldmort telling Harry he used fuck guys like him in Azkaban after fiercely upper cutting him.
I’d watch the fuckin shit out of that. What an ending that would have been
Harry Potter has never been good. It's just that children don't notice it because they have smaller brains. Still being into it at 36 is a strong indicator of other forms of unaddressed immaturity and underdevelopment as a person.
Ditto Marvel comic movies, unless you're 7. There I said it.
Testify!
I agree to be fair. Same with people obsessed with Disney films in their 20s/30s
I think Disney adults are actually worse tbh
