Vacamion

I bet he blames Dean Smith and not himself.

Inverness CT and Ross County are loooong, trips but I like their grounds, the people are friendly, and if you are making a trip of it and the weather's nice, it's glorious. The Inverness young team trying to pump the atmosphere made the crowd sound like a schoolboy international I liked Alloa and Arbroath - small grounds, sections of the home crowd moved places within the ground at half time, my mate had a pie in a cob at Alloa which was cheap and, he says, delicious. Always had a soft spot for Somerset Park in Dumfries (Queen Of The South) - park in nearby residential streets, walk round the ground, good pie at half time, good view, nice folk. I liked Hearts, Dunfermline and Kilmarnock away. On the bad side, Dundee United had awful facilities for away fans, Dundee FC's ground always leaves me asking why they designed it like that and their fans were feral little scrotes. I've had to clap to keep the circulation going and stay alive at Aberdeen's Pittodrie when it's cold and the wind is coming in from the North East and the away fans are in an exposed bit of the ground. Didn't much like Clyde in Cumbernauld, it was fairly empty and fairly dead, it's on the edge of a new town, with not much around it. Worst of all would be Falkirk FC. Their old ground Brockville was a shithole, often called "Shockville". Their (2004 so now not so) new ground is a three-sided stadium. The "missing" side faces the petrochemical dystopian nightmare that is Grangemouth. Smell that air. The fans seemed to hate their own team and the people in charge of the PA system misjudged the depressing atmosphere, somewhat.

It was me, and bloody good. No one elected Bray. As much as I might sympathise with his views, and as funny as his stunt today was, he has a right to speak, but not the right to create a public nuisance to drown out others.

I probably agree with alot of his politics and he's spoiled Sunak's speech hilariously there, but I'm not sure it's right that a bloke with a loudspeaker should be able to drown out the pm and the news reporters trying to do interviews. Happy to agree to disagree, though.

I was talking about what looked liked a failure to react in a human way to what was going on while he tried to make his speech. He just ploughed on. Your response doesn't seem to be about that, so I'm struggling to see why you quoted me

If he had any baws or wanted to show he's actually human, he would have stopped, called Steve Bray a twat and mentioned the awful weather, but he's ploughed on, got soaked, and it doesn't look very good, does it?

That's it weather, yes...

Doesn't look great getting a soaking. Symbolism galore.

Free speech is free speech, but isn't the guy with a loudhailer creating a nuisance to so many people that he really shouldn't have the right to do that?

Quite the opposite in Scotland, if the polls are to be believed.

Nah, I can't see anything other than an utter paddling. The sense that they've had their shot and it's time for a change is as strong as it was in 1997.

If anyone makes a "General Election" thread - can they hold their breath for longer than the thread remains unlocked?

Why would he call an election 20 points behind in the polls? Has he given up? Does he have his eye on a long holiday in August?

He left his latest job on a high, too. How can you not be charmed by him? Pizza, Dilly Ding Dilly Dong, Bocelli. A true great to whom City fans will wish a long and happy, and well-earned, retirement.

I think that might be more Palace good than Villa bad.

Wolves get a man sent off after VAR intervention. One last hurrah by VAR against Wolves, for old times' sake

Well I for one salute the foresight involved in also preparing for a trophy lift at the Emirates.

And buys Henderson.

The bloke who gave it to Fury after watching him get rocked and knocked for most of the fight needs to clean his spectacles.

Has to be Usyk.

Fury did well to stay up there.

Usyk's taken the last two rounds and is ahead, I think.

The pissing about and showboating is very unattractive.

I think the Ukrainian is ahead, slightly.
