on the north of islay by ardnave which is basically 2 houses and a farm. took the dogs for a walk and spotted what looked like a dead sheep on its back all four legs pointed skywards with 2 lambs stood nearby. went to investigate and the sheep was alive but very distressed, shitting and pissing itself. abandoned the dog walk and went to the farm and told the farmer what we'd found and explained where roughly it was and off he went zooming off on his quad bike. he came back an hour or so late really pleased as he reckoned it would've died within an hour it was that bloated with gas. anyway, he told us we could drive through his farmyard, go through several gates, follow the little map he drew us and park up on the headland where nobody else his access to. we now have our private beach, not a person, building or vehicle to be seen for miles. view from a sidedoor.....

Edwards is clueless tbh, I’m not going to give him the benefit of thinking he’s a WUM I’m just going to accept what he says as if he actually thinks it. Why does he relentlessly compare Bruce to Benitez? Especially when he basically tries to imply Benitez did a shit job, matching the efforts of a newly promoted side after spending 80m or so on attacking players isn’t exactly the ringing endorsement Edwards seems to think. Much like Pardew I can’t accept using lack of signings as a defence when the blokes themselves constantly defend Ashley over said lack of signings. Also he can absolutely fuck off going on about it being joyless if this is what the fans think is funny. Again blaming the fan base, maybe what’s joyless is Mike fucking Ashley going in to year 13 of ownership of this club and Steve Bruce, a woefully unqualified and fucking shit manager, going into season 3, maybe it’s the uninspired fucking shit football that Bruce has the side playing? Nah blame the fans that have travelled miles to watch the side lose to fucking Rotherham. What an absolute fucking prick he is, why doesn’t he do us all a favor and fuck off and cover some other club the miserable little wank.

Edwards, and his ilk, pin their entire argument on Bruce achieving a similar points total to Benitez, but disregard the context. As if the fans should shut up and be happy that we're not relegated. With the amount that's been spent, and more importantly the caliber of players available to us, we should be able to do better than we did shortly after promotion. We're all idiots, and yet we could all see that the best way to get points with this team was to play a pressing, counter attack style. To use the movement of the attacking players (Wilson/Almiron/ASM) and the solid defence left by RB to ensure we're hard to beat, at the very least. The football under Bruce has, on the whole, been bad. Even with the additions of quality players like Wilson, Saint Maximin, etc. We've been told he's a great fan of running stats, but we don't press. We were told he'd make us play more attractive football, but by and large, we're more passive and defensive than we were under famously pragmatic Benitez, let alone McClaren, Pardew, et al. He's a great motivator, right? Yet we've had numerous stories of discord on the training ground, listless performances and so on.

Could this be the week that the club gets the hang of this footballing lark?

“Where’s the bloody manager?! I demand blood clots!”

I had no idea until earlier tonight that Craig David ( yes, that one! ), was an accomplished archery coach and is in Tokyo with the GB team. He’s apparently quite the motivator, but they’re mainly using him as a bow selector.

Still on about Rafa, fucking hell Either Rafa properly fucked him off when he was here or he’s getting paid per interaction on Twitter. Genuinely hope Everton beat us just to see his meltdown

Someone’s been on the wine and chicken

Always had a bit of a soft spot for ZZ Top, possibly due to the ladies with questionable morals in their 80's videos

Lucky ewe. Well done.

When you were looking for a joke to pinch for here, that one should have been a NO SELECTOR.

Did it turn you into a Nancy Boy?

This goes back to what Howay was saying. If he’s genuinely happy having one PL-quality centre forward then the manager's a fucking moron. If he’s not then why’s he defending the owner by making out we have adequate cover? And if Luke Edwards can’t see the problem then he’s cut from the same cloth

Have a Caol Ila or Lagavulin or 6 for me

After all the fuss everyone else is making about the effects of the jab, pretty sure I got the placebo.

not anymore, things have moved on, they're now.... "We have to wait for the big huge clubs and see what they do." we're the sticklebacks in brucie's pond.

Top level sport is about moments and MATT FUCKING BAKER STOLE MY MOMENT.

Lads I'm furious about this. All I'm saying is get ready for Points of View this week.

BILES OUT! Probably pulled a muscle laughing at that Chinese lass.

Absolutely loved the Chinese lass fully face planting off the high bar earlier. I've waited years to see someone miss their catch and finally all my years of dedication and perseverance have paid off. I feel like a true Olympian.

Old gadgie sitting in his garden sees a kid walking past with some chicken wire… ” Where you going with that chicken wire, son?” ” I’m off to catch some chickens”, says the kid Old gadgie shakes his head and mutters, “ You won’t catch chickens with chickenwire!” Half an hour later the kid walks past with three chickens tied up with the wire. “ Well bugger me” says the old fella. Next day the same kid walked past with some duct tape. “ Where are you going without duct tape son?” “ i’m going to go and catch some ducks at the pond” Old fella shakes his head and mutters, ” You won’t catch ducks with duct tape!” Half an hour later the kid walks past with four ducks all taped up. “Well shit the bed!” says the old lad. Next day the kid walks past with some pussy willow branches. Old lad shouts, “ Oh hang on their son I’ll get me walking stick!” I thangew.

Speaking of which, I see Horse Dancing was on today

PC Bacon seems OK The individual chatting bollocks into the camera should be fuckin euthanised

Of course you're going to take the side of the alleged woman beater.

Breaking news: loner who ran out of beer less than an hour into a cup final has no idea how to look after himself.
